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  
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

Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the   door   aperture,   driver's   side.
Carry
  out   this   check   in   particular:
-
 
b
efore   a   long   journey,
-
 
a

w

ithout   delay   to   have   the   emissions   of   nitrous   oxides   brought   back   to  
t

he   legal   level.

  is   necessary   to   reinitialise   the   system   every  t
ime   one   or   more   tyre   pressure   is   adjusted,   and  
a

fter   changing   one   or   more   wheels.
A

Fitting a wheel
Fitting the "space-saver"
spare wheel
If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, when   tightening   the   bolts   on   fitting,   it  
i

s   normal   to   notice   that   the   washers  
d

o   not   come   into   contact   with   the  
"

space-saver"   spare   wheel.   The   wheel  
i

s   secured   by   the   conical   sur face   of  
e

ach   bolt.
After changing a wheel
To correctly store the punctured wheel in the boot ( not in the location of the
space-saver wheel ),
  first   remove   the  
c

entral   cover.
When
  using   the   "space-saver"   type  
s

pare   wheel,   do   not   exceed   50   mph  
(

80 km/h).
Have
  the   tightening   of   the   bolts   and   the  
p

ressure   of   the   spare   wheel   checked  
b

y   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop   without   delay.
Have
  the   punctured   wheel   repaired  
a

nd   refitted   to   the   vehicle   as   soon   as
