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   manufacturer's   service   schedule.
With
  a   BlueHDi   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.

The spare wheel is installed in the boot under
the  floor.
According
  to   country,   you   will   have   either   a  
"

space   saver"   spare   wheel   or   a   temporary  
p

uncture   repair   kit.
For access to it, refer to the "Access to the

t

ightening   the   bolts   on   fitting,   that   the  
w

ashers   do   not   come   into   contact   with  
t

he   "space-saver"   type   spare   wheel.  
T

he wheel is secured by the conical
contact
  sur face   of   each   bolt.

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
