Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the bottom  of  the  boot,  as  close  as  possible  to  the  rear  seats.
Limit
 the  loads  carried  in  the  vehicle  and  reduce  wind  resistance  (roof Â
b
ars,  roof  rack,  bicycle  carrier,  trailer...).  Use  a  roof  box  in  preference.
Remove
 roof  bars  and  roof  racks  after  use.
At
 the  end  of  winter,  remove  snow  tyres  and  refit  your  summer  tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the  door  aperture,  driver's  side.
Carry
 out  this  check  in  particular:
-
Â
b
efore  a  long  journey,
-
Â
a
t  each  change  of  season,
-
Â
a
fter  a  long  period  out  of  use.
Don't
 forget  the  spare  wheel  and  the  tyres  on  any  trailer  or  caravan.
Have
 your  vehicle  serviced  regularly  (engine  oil,  oil  filter,  air  filter, Â
p
assenger  compartment  filter...)  and  observe  the  schedule  of Â
o
perations  recommended  in  the  maintenance  and  warranty  guide.
When
 refuelling,  do  not  continue  after  the  third  cut-off  of  the  nozzle  to Â
a
void  any  over flow.
At
 the  wheel  of  your  new  vehicle,  it  is  only  after  the  first  1  800  miles Â
(3
 000  kilometres)  that  you  will  see  the  fuel  consumption  settle  down  to Â
a
 consistent  average.

Lost keys
Go to a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's registration document, your personal identification  documents  and  if  possible  the  key  code  label.
The
 CITROËN  dealer  will  be  able  to  look  up  the  key  code  and  the  transponder  code Â
r
equired  to  order  a  new  key.
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is a sensitive system; do not operate it while it is in your pocket  as  there  is  a  possibility  that  it  may  unlock  the  vehicle,  without  you  being  aware  of  it.
Do
 not  repeatedly  press  the  buttons  of  your  remote  control  out  of  range  and  out  of  sight  of Â
y
our  vehicle.  You  run  the  risk  of  stopping  it  from  working  and  the  remote  control  would  have Â
t
o  be  reinitialised.
No
 remote  control  can  operate  when  the  key  is  in  the  ignition  switch,  even  when  the  ignition Â
i
s  switched  off,  except  for  reinitialisation.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment by the emergency  services  more  difficult  in  an  emergency.
As
 a  safety  precaution,  never  leave  children  alone  in  the  vehicle,  except  for  a  very  short  period.
In
 all  cases,  it  is  essential  to  remove  the  key  from  the  ignition  switch  when  leaving  the  vehicle.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system; this could cause m alfunctions.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the pairing of all of the keys in your possession checked by a CITROËN dealer, to ensure  that  only  your  keys  can  be  used  to  open  and  start  the  vehicle.Do

Â
T
o  obtain  an  even  air  distribution,  take  care  not  to  obstruct  the  exterior  air  intake  grilles Â
l
ocated  at  the  base  of  the  windscreen,  the  nozzles,  the  vents  and  the  air  outlets,  as  well Â
a
s  the  air  extractor  located  in  the  boot.
F

D
o  not  cover  the  sunshine  sensor,  located  on  the  dashboard;  this  is  used  for  regulation Â

Â
E
nsure  that  the  passenger  compartment  filter  is  in  good  condition  and  have  the  filter Â
e
lements  replaced  regularly.
 W
e  recommend  the  use  of  a  combined  passenger  compartment  filter.  Thanks  to  its Â
s
pecial  active  additive,  it  contributes  to  the  purification  of  the  air  breathed  by  the Â
o
ccupants  and  the  cleanliness  of  the  passenger  compartment  (reduction  of  allergic Â
s
ymptoms,  bad  odours  and  greasy  deposits).
F
Â
T
o  ensure  correct  operation  of  the  air  conditioning  system,  you  are  also  advised  to  have Â
i
t  checked  regularly  as  recommended  in  the  maintenance  and  warranty  guide.
F
Â
I
