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 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:
- 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 filter, air filter, 
passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of 
operations recommended in the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle 
becomes polluting; go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop 
without delay to have the emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to 
the legal level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to 
avoid any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles  
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to 
a consistent average.

monitored.
If the system is faulty, you must check 
the engine oil level using the manual 
dipstick located under the bonnet.
Refer to the "Checking levels" section.
Oil level incorrect
This is signalled by the display of the message 
"Oil level measurement invalid" in the 
instrument panel.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a 
check using the dipstick, the level 
must be topped up to avoid damage to 
the  engine.
Refer to the "Checking levels" section.
The level read will only be correct if 
the vehicle is on level ground and the 
engine has been off for more than 
30
 minutes.

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 
required 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 
your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it from working and the remote control would have 
to be reinitialised.
No remote control can operate when the key is in the ignition switch, even when the ignition 
is 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 malfunctions.
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 not throw the remote control 
batteries away, they contain metals 
which are harmful to the environment.
Take them to an approved collection 
point.

We recommend use of the automatic regulation 
of the air conditioning.
It permits automatic and optimised control 
of all of the following functions: air flow, 
temperature in the passenger compartment 
and air distribution, by means of various 
sensors (ambient temperature, sunshine). 
This eliminates any need for you to change 
your settings other than the temperature value 
displayed.
F Take care not to cover the sunshine 
sensor  A.
If you select the automatic mode   
(by pressing the "AUTO" control) and leave 
all of the vents open, optimum comfort will be 
maintained and humidity and condensation will 
be removed regardless of the exterior climatic 
conditions.
The temperature in the passenger compartment 
can only be lower than the ambient temperature 
if the air conditioning is on.
In order to be effective, the air conditioning must 
be used with the windows closed. If the vehicle 
has been parked in the sun for a long period 
and the interior temperature is very high, first 
ventilate the passenger compartment with the 
windows open for a few minutes, then close the 
windows.
Heating, ventilation and air conditioning recommendations
To keep the air conditioning system in 
good working order it is essential that it is 
operated at least once a month.
The air conditioning uses engine power 
during its operation. As a result, the fuel 
consumption of the vehicle increases.
In certain cases of particularly arduous use 
(e.g. towing the maximum load on a steep 
gradient in high temperatures), switching off 
the air conditioning saves engine power and 
improves the towing capacity.
Air inlet
Check that the exterior grille for the air inlet, 
at the bottom of the windscreen, is clean and 
free of dead leaves, snow, etc.
When washing the vehicle using a high 
pressure nozzle, avoid spraying at the air 
inlet. Maximum comfort is obtained by means of 
a good distribution of air in the passenger 
compartment, both in the front and in the rear.
To obtain a uniform distribution of air, take 
care not to block the exterior air intake grille 
located at the base of the windscreen, the 
vents, the air outlets under the front seats and 
the air extractor located behind the flaps in 
the boot.
The front and rear vents are fitted with 
thumbwheels to adjust the air flow and 
direction. We recommend that you leave all of 
the vents open.
Dust filter / Odour filter 
(active carbon)
There is a filter for excluding odours and 
dust.
This filter must be changed in line with the 
vehicle's servicing schedule. (Refer to the 
maintenance and warranty guide).

Observe the driving regulations and remain 
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your 
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to 
react at any time to any eventuality.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is 
strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate 
the need to brake and increase the distance 
from other vehicles.
Driving on flooded  
roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded 
roads, as this could cause serious damage 
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the 
electrical systems of your vehicle.
Driving recommendations
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake 
applied - Risk of overheating and 
damage to the braking system!
Do not park or run the engine when 
stationary in areas where inflammable 
substances and materials (dry grass, 
dead leaves...) might come into contact 
with the hot exhaust system - Risk 
of fire!
n ever leave a vehicle unsupervised 
with the engine running. If you have 
to leave your vehicle with the engine 
running, apply the parking brake 
and put the gearbox into neutral or 
position  N or P, depending on the type 
of gearbox.
If you are obliged to drive through water:
- 
check that the depth of water does not 
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves 
that might be generated by other users,
-  deactivate the Stop & Start system,
-  drive as slowly as possible without 
stalling. In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph 
(10 km/h),
-  do not stop and do not switch off the 
engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as 
circumstances allow, make several light brake 
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact 
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
