fuel pressure Citroen DS4 2011 1.G Owner's Manual

35

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 par ticular:


- 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 ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter...) and obser ve the
schedule of operations recommended by the
manufacturer.



When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3 rd 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.

Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps
when the level of light does not require their
use.

Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm
up much faster while driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting
your multimedia devices (film, music, video
game...), you will contribute towards limiting
the consumption of electrical energy, and so
of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before
leaving the vehicle.

Familiarisation

Gear shift indicator *
System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up on vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox.


Operation

The system inter venes only when driving
economically.
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one or more gears. You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory. In fact, the
configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors when
choosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.

- The system may suggest that you engage a
higher gear, if appropriate.
The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow accompanied by
the suggested gear.

In the case of driving which makes
particular demands on the performance
of the engine (firm pressure on the
accelerator pedal, for example, when
over taking...), the system will not
recommend a gear change.
The system never suggests:


- engaging first gear,

- engaging reverse gear,

- engaging a lower gear.



*
According to engine.
Example:


- You are in third gear.

- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.

287Technical data

















Identifi cation markings
Various visible markings for the identification of your vehicle.

A.
Vehicle identification number (VIN) under the bonnet.
This number is engraved on the bodywork near
the engine mounting.

B. Vehicle identification number on the
dashboard.

This number is indicated on a self-adhesive
label which is visible through the windscreen.
D. Tyre/paint label.

This label is affixed to the driver's front pillar. Wheels which are fitted with 225/40 R18
tyres cannot be fitted with snow chains.
For more information, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption. The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres are cold, at least once
a month.
C. Manufacturer's label.

The VIN is indicated on a self-destroying label
affixed to the driver's centre pillar. It bears the following information:


- the tyre pressures, for unladen and laden
conditions,

- the wheel rim and tyre sizes,

- the brands of tyre recommended by the
manufacturer,

- the spare tyre inflation pressure,

- the paint colour code.
