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:
-
be
fore a long journey,
-
at e

ach change of season,
-
af

ter 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
0

00 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to
a consistent average.

Tyre under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of
each tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres.This system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly
(including the spare wheel) and before
a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes
premature tyre wear, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high speed, long journey).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle can
be found on the tyre pressure label.
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after driving for less then
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed).
Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.
For more information on identification
markings, including the tyre pressure
label, refer to the corresponding
section.
The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.

Under-inflation alert
The aler t is given by the fixed illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal, and depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres,
the symbol or the message appears, according
to equipment, to identify it.
F
Re
duce speed, avoid sudden steering
movements or harsh brake applications.
F
St

op as soon as it is safe to do so. The alert is maintained until the tyre or
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or a
steel rim) does not have a sensor.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of
the tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of the under-inflation
warning lamp accompanied by the
illumination of the service warning
lamp indicates a fault with the system.
This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels is not fitted with a sensor
(for example, a space-saver or steel
spare wheel).
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop
t

o have the system checked or,
following the repair of a puncture, to have the
original wheel, equipped with a sensor, refitted. In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.
F
If y

ou have a compressor (the one in the
temporary puncture repair kit for example),
check the four tyre pressures when cold.
If i

t is not possible to check the tyre
pressures at the time, drive carefully at
reduced speed.
or
F In t

he event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (according to equipment). Any tyre repair or replacement on a wheel
fitted with this system must be carried out by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If after changing a tyre, a wheel is not detected
by your vehicle (fitting snow tyres for example),
you must have the system reinitialised by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Changing a wheel
The jack is stowed in a box attached to the
spare wheel.
The assembly is secured under the vehicle by
means of a winch system.
Refer to the "Access to the spare wheel"
section.
To open the tool box:
F
pr
ess the tab, slide the lid on the box half
way, then remove it.
Access to the tools
Procedure for changing a wheel with a damaged or punctured tyre for the spare wheel using the tools provided with the vehicle.
The other tools are stowed in a well under the
boot floor. The jack must only be used to change
a wheel with a damaged or punctured
tyre.
Do not use any jack other than the one
supplied with this vehicle.
If the vehicle does not have its original
jack, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop to obtain the correct
jack for it.
The jack does not require any
maintenance.

Fitting a wheel
Fitting the "space-saver"
spare wheel
If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels,
when tightening the bolts on fitting, it
is normal to notice that the washers
do not come into contact with the
"space-saver" spare wheel. The wheel
is secured by the conical sur face of
each bolt.
After changing a wheel
The wheel with the punctured tyre
cannot be fitted under the vehicle. It
must be stowed flat on the boot floor;
use a cover to protect the inside of the
boot.
Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) when
driving with the "space-saver" type
spare wheel fitted.
Have the tightening of the bolts and the
pressure of the spare wheel checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.
Have the punctured wheel repaired
and refitted to the vehicle as soon as
possible.
List of operations
F Put the wheel in place on the hub.
F Sc rew in the bolts fully by hand.
F
Pr

e-tighten the security bolt using the
wheelbrace 1 fitted with the security
socket 5.

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.The snow chains must be fitted only
to the front wheels. They must never
be fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised.
Advice on installation
F If you have to fit the chains during a
journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face
on the side of the road.
F
Ap

ply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks to prevent movement of your
vehicle.
F
Fi

t the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
F
Mov

e off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50
k

m/h).
F
St

op your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to
avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and
the road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted
with alloy wheels, check that no part of
the chain or its fixings is in contact with
the wheel rim.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size.215/60 R16 9 mm
225/50 R17
235/45 R18 cannot be fitted with
snow chains
235/40 R19
For more information on snow chains, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.
