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 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,
passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
operations recommended in the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle
becomes polluting; go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay to have the emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to
the legal level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third 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.

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very
high, first ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F

T

o obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles
located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well
as the air extractor located in the boot.
F

D

o not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation
of the air conditioning system.
F

O

perate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month
to keep it in per fect working order.
F

E

nsure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly.
W

e recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its
special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the
occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
F

T

o ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
it checked regularly as recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.
F

I

f the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the
air conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability. The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge
of water under the vehicle which is
per fectly normal.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems only work when the engine is running. To maintain
a comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment, you can temporarily deactivate
the Stop & Start system (see the corresponding section).

automatically, check that the front
doors are fully closed.
When the engine is running at idle, with
the brakes released, if position R
,
d or
M is selected, the vehicle moves even
without the accelerator being pressed.
Never leave children unsupervised in
the vehicle when the engine is running.
When carrying out maintenance with
the engine running, apply the parking
brake and select position P .
Automatic operation
F Select position d for automatic changing
of the six gears.
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any intervention on the part
of the driver. It continuously selects the most
suitable gear according to the style of driving,
the profile of the road and the load in the
vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without touching
the selector, press the accelerator pedal down
fully (kick down). The gearbox changes down
automatically or maintains the gear selected
until the maximum engine speed is reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide effective engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the
gearbox will not change to a higher gear for
safety reasons.
Never select position N while the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless
the vehicle is completely stationary.
If position N is engaged inadvertently
while driving, allow the engine to
return to idle then engage position
d
to
accelerate.
If you do not press the brake pedal when
trying to move the gear selector out
of position P , this warning lamp or this
symbol appears in the instrument panel accompanied
by a message, flashing of the P symbol, the display of
a message and an audible signal.
F Check that the display in the instrument panel agrees with the position engaged.

have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault in STOP mode,
the vehicle may stall. All of the
instrument panel warning lamps come
on.
Depending on version, an alert
message may also be displayed asking
you to put the gear lever into position N
and put your foot on the brake pedal.
It is then necessary to switch off the
ignition, then restart the engine using
the key or the "START/STOP" button.Before doing any work under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
system to avoid the risk of injury
related to an automatic change to
START
mode.
The Stop & Start system makes use of
an advanced technology. All work on
this type of battery must only be carried
out by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Maintenance
This system requires the use of a 12 V battery
of specific technology and characteristics
(reference numbers available from a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN would
introduces the risk of faults with the system.

Checks
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Oil filter
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of the
replacement intervals for these
components.
Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of
the replacement interval for this
component.
The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a specific 12 V lead-acid
battery with special technology and
specification. The involvement of
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop is essential when replacing
or disconnecting the battery.
12 V battery
When carrying out work on the battery, refer
to the "12 V battery" section for details of the
precautions to be taken before disconnecting
the battery and following its reconnection.
The battery does not require any maintenance.
However, check that the terminals are clean
and correctly tightened, particularly in summer
and winter.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle
(e.g. city driving), replace them twice as often
if necessary
.
A clogged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.
