recommended oil Citroen DS4 RHD 2013.5 1.G Owner's Manual

35

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.
