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.  
 
 
 
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: 
   
 
-   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 third cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any 
over flow.      
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.  
   
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: 
   
 
 
  To 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. 
   
 
  Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation 
of the air conditioning system. 
   
 
  Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month 
to keep it in per fect working order. 
   
 
  Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter 
elements replaced regularly.  
  We 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). 
   
 
  To 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. 
   
 
  If 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).
