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
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:
-
 
b
efore   a   long   journey,
-
 
a
t   each   change   of   season,
-
 
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,  
p

assenger   compartment   filter...)   and   observe   the   schedule   of  
o

perations   recommended   in   the   maintenance   and   warranty   guide.
With
  a   Blue   HDi   Diesel   engine,   if   the   SCR   system   is   faulty   your   vehicle  
b

ecomes   polluting;   go   to   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop  
w

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

he   legal   level.
When
  refuelling,   do   not   continue   after   the   third   cut-off   of   the   nozzle   to  
a

void   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.

Less than 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
Example: 560   miles   (900   km)   remain   before  t
he   next   service   is   due.
For
  5   seconds   after   the   ignition   is   switched   on,  
t

he   screen   indicates:
5

indicate
  that   a   service   must   be   carried   out

oon. 5
  seconds   after   the   ignition   is   switched   on,  
t

ope

ration.
 T

Service overdue
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, t
he spanner flashes to indicate that the service
must
  be   carried   out   as   soon   as   possible.
Example:
 

the   service   is   overdue   by   180   miles  
(

300   km).
For
  5   seconds   after   the   ignition   is   switched   on,  
t

bl ueHDi Diesel versions, this alert
may   also   be   accompanied   by   the   fixed  
i

llumination   of   the   service   warning   lamp  
w

The
  distance   remaining   may   be  
w

eighted   by   the   time   factor,   depending  
o

n   the   driving   conditions.
Therefore,
  the   spanner   may   also   come

For

ueHDi Diesel versions, the
spanner
  may   also   be   brought   on   earlier  
t

han   expected,   depending   on   the  
d

egree   of   deterioration   of   the   engine   oil  
(

depending   on   the   country   of   sale).
The
  rate   of   deterioration   of   the   engine  
o

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine, the   interior   temperature   is   very  
h

igh,   first   ventilate   the   passenger  
c

ompartment   for   a   few   moments.
Put
  the   air   flow   control   at   a   setting   high  
e

nough   to   quickly   change   the   air   in   the  
p

assenger
 c
ompartment.
The
  air   conditioning   system   does   not  
c

ontain chlorine and does not present
any
  danger   to   the   ozone   layer.
In
