fuel pressure CITROEN C4 DAG 2013 Owners Manual

27

Switch off the headlamps and front
foglamps when the level of light does
not require their use.

Avoid running the engine before moving
off, particularly in winter; your vehicle
will warm up much faster while driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting
your multimedia devices (fi lm, music,
video game...), you will contribute to-
wards limiting the consumption of elec-
trical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices be-
fore leaving the vehicle.



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 bars,
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 refi t 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:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after 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 fi lter, air fi lter...) and ob-
serve the schedule of operations rec-
ommended by the manufacturer.



When refuelling, do not continue after
the third cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overfl ow.


At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the fi rst 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption set-
tle down to a consistent average.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION

System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as
the vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the
valve of a each tyres (except the spare
wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop
in pressure is detected in one or more
tyres.
The tyre under-infl ation detection sys-
tem is an aid to driving which does not
replace the need for the driver to be
vigilant or to drive responsibly.
This system does not avoid the
need to check the tyre pressures
regularly (including the spare
wheel) and before a long jour-
ney.
Driving with under-infl ated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and
causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous con-
ditions (vehicle loaded, high
speed, long journey).

Driving with under-infl ated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures for your vehi-
cle can be found on the tyre pres-
sure label (see the "Identifi cation
markings" section).
The tyre pressures must be
checked when the tyres cold
(vehicle stopped for 1 hour or
after driving for less then 6 miles
(10 km) at moderate speed).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the val-
ues indicated on the label.

IDENTIFICATION MARKINGS

Various visible markings for the identifi -
cation of your vehicle.

A. Vehicle identifi cation number (VIN)
under the bonnet.

This number is engraved on the bod-
ywork near the suspension damper
mounting.
B. Vehicle identifi cation number on
the dashboard.

This number is indicated on a self-ad-
hesive label which is visible through the
windscreen.
D. Tyre/paint label.

This label is affi xed to the driver's front
pillar.
The tyre pressures must be
checked when the tyres are
cold, at least once a month.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption.
C. Manufacturer's label.

The VIN is indicated on a self-destroy-
ing label affi xed to the driver's centre
pillar. It bears the following information:


- the tyre pressures, for unladen and
laden conditions,

- the tyre sizes (including the load in-
dex and speed rating),

- the spare tyre infl ation pressure,

- the paint colour code.
