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.

audible signal and a
message in the screen. Illumination of this warning lamp is
associated with a serious fault with
the braking system, power steering,
engine lubrication system or cooling
system. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so as there is a risk that
the engine will cut out while driving.
Park, switch off the ignition and contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

which there is no specific warning
lamp. Identify the malfunction by reading the message
displayed in the screen, such as, for example:


- the opening of the doors, boot or bonnet,

- the engine oil level,

- the remote control battery,

- the tyre pressures,

- saturation of the particle emission filter on
Diesel vehicles (see "Checks - § Checks/Particle
emissions filter").
For any other malfunctions, contact a CITROËN dealer

Action/Observations



Particle
emissions filter
(Diesel)
fixed, accompanied
by an audible signal
message on the risk of
blockage of the particle
emissions filter. This indicates that the particle
emissions filter is starting to become
saturated. As soon as driving conditions allow, regenerate the
filter by driving at a speed of at least 35 mph (60 km/h)
until the warning lamp goes off.
fixed, accompanied by
an audible signal and
and a message that the
particle emissions filter
additive level is too low.

This indicates the low level of the
additive reservoir. Have the reser voir topped up as soon as possible by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

This information is displayed for a few seconds
when the ignition is switched on, at the same
time as the ser vice information.















Engine oil level indicator

The vehicle must be on level ground
and the engine must have been off
for more than 30 minutes for this level
check to be accurate.

Oil level correct

Oil level incorrect

This is indicated by the flashing of "OIL"

or the display of a specific message in
the instrument panel, coupled with the service
warning lamp and accompanied by an audible
signal.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a check
using the dipstick, the level must be topped up
to avoid damage to the engine.


Oil level indicator error

This is indicated by the flashing of "OIL--"

or the display of a specific message in the
instrument panel. Contact a CITROËN or a
qualified workshop.
There are 2 marks on the
dipstick:


- A
= max; never exceed
this level (risk of damage to
the engine),

- B
= min; top up the level via
the oil filler cap, using the
correct grade of oil for your
engine.




Dipstick

Refer to the "Checks" section to locate the
dipstick and the oil filler cap on your engine.

57Monitoring





















Manual test in the type 2 instrument panel central screen

with E10 or E24 type petrol biofuels (containing
10 % or 24 % ethanol), conforming to European
standards EN 228 and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 % ethanol)
are reserved exclusively for vehicles marketed
for the use of this type of fuel (BioFlex
vehicles). The quality of the ethanol must
comply with European standard EN 15293.
For Brazil only, special vehicles are marketed
to run on fuels containing up to 100 % ethanol
