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.

A few driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations at all times and remain vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
P ay   close   attention   to   the   traffic   and   keep   your   hands   on   the   wheel   so   that   you   are   ready   to   react   at  
a

ny   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  
o

ther
 v
ehicles.
driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded roads,   as   this   could   cause   serious   damage  
t

o   the   engine   or   gearbox,   as   well   as   to   the  
e

lectrical   systems   of   your   vehicle.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied   -   Risk   of   overheating   and  
d

amage   to   the   braking   system!
Do
  not   park   or   run   the   engine   when  
s

tationary   in   areas   where   inflammable  
s

ubstances   and   materials   (dry   grass,  
d

ead   leaves...)   might   come   into   contact  
w

ith   the   hot   exhaust   system   -   Risk   of  
f

ire!
Never
  leave   a   vehicle   unsupervised  
w

ith   the   engine   running.   If   you   have  
t

o   leave   your   vehicle   with   the   engine  
r

unning,   apply   the   parking   brake  
a

nd   put   the   gearbox   into   neutral   or  
p

osition

n or P,
  depending   on   the   type  
o

f   gearbox.

Starting the engine
In some circumstances, you may have to   apply   some   force   to   turn   the   steering  
w

heel   (wheels   on   lock   for   example).In
  wintry   conditions,   the   warning   lamp  
w

ill   stay   on   longer.   When   the   engine   is  
h

ot,   it   does   not   come   on.In   temperate   conditions,   do   not  
w

arm   the   engine   up   with   the   vehicle  
s

tationary,   but   move   off   straight   away  
a

nd   drive   at   moderate   engine   speeds.
If   the   engine   does   not   start   straight  a
way,   switch   the   ignition   off.   Wait   a  
f

ew   moments   before   trying   again.   If

s

uch   as   carbon   monoxide.   Danger   of  
i

ntoxication   and   death.   In   very   severe  
w

inter   conditions   (temperatures  b
elow -23°C),   it   is   necessary   to   allow  t
he   engine   to   run   for   4   minutes   before  
s

etting   off,   in   order   to   ensure   the  
c

orrect   operation   and   durability   of  
t
