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.

It is strongly recommended that before you leave, you practise fitting the snow
c
hains on a level and dry sur face.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
T he snow chains must be fitted only
t
o the front wheels. They must never
b
e fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels.
Take
account of the legislation in force
i
n your country on the use of snow
chains
and the maximum running
s
peed
a
uthorised.
Avoid
driving with snow chains on
r
oads that have been cleared of snow,
to
avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres
a
nd the road sur face. If your vehicle
i
s fitted with alloy wheels, check that
n
o part of the chain or its fixings is in
c
ontact with the wheel rim.
Advice on installation
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face on the side of the r
oad.
F
A
pply the parking brake and position any wheel chocks to prevent movement of your vehicle.
F
F
it the chains following the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
F
M
ove off gently and drive for a few moments, without exceeding 30 mph (50 km/h).
F
S
top your vehicle and check that the snow chains are correctly tightened.
Use
only the chains designed to be fitted to the type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
