OVERVIEW
Location

24
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 serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter

, air filter,
passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
operations recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid any overflow.
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.
Motoring & Environment

11 2
HORN
Press the centre of the steering wheel.
Anti-lock braking system and
electronic brake force distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.
BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems which help
you to obtain optimum braking in complete
safety in emergency situations:
-
anti-lock braking system (ABS),
-


electronic brake force distribution

(E
b F d ),
-

emergency braking assistance (EBA). Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes into


operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal accompanied by some noise.
When braking in an emergency
, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure.
Operating fault If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the instrument
panel screen, it indicates a fault
with the anti-lock braking system which
could result in loss of control of the vehicle
when braking. If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the ABS warning
lamp, accompanied by a message
in the instrument panel screen,
it indicates a fault with the electronic brake
force distribution which could result in loss
of control of the vehicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Good practice
The
ab
S system does not provide shorter
braking distances. On very slippery surfaces
(black ice, oil...) the ABS can extend braking
distances. For emergency braking, press the
brake pedal hard and do not release it, even
on a slipper surface; you will then be able to
steer the vehicle and avoid an obstacle.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations. In either case, contact a CITR o Ë n dealer or
a qualified workshop.
For maximum braking efficiency, a
bedding-in period of around 300 miles
(500 kilometres) is needed. During this
period it is recommended that you avoid
harsh, repeated or prolonged braking.
Driving safely

11 6
TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
System which automatically checks the
pressure of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressures on the
four tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
four wheel speed sensors with reference
values, which must be reinitialised every
time the tyre pressures are adjusted or a
wheel changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of
one or more tyres.
The under-inflation detection system

does not replace the vigilance or the
responsibility of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as before
a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
road holding, extends braking distances and
causes premature tyre wear, particularly
under arduous condition (high loading, high
speed, long journey).
Driving with under-inflated tyres increases
fuel consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for


your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label.
See the "Identification markings" section.
Tyre pressures should be checked when the
tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour
or after a journey of less than 6 miles
(10 km) at moderate speeds).
Otherwise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to the
pressures shown on the label.
Under-inflation alert
This is given by fixed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied the display of a
message,depending on equipment.
F
Reduce speed immediately

, avoid
excessive steering movements and
sudden braking
F
Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to


do so.
The loss of pressure detected does
not always cause visible bulging of the
tyre. Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check.
F
In the event of a puncture, use the


temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment),
or
F
if you have a compressor

, such as the
one in the temporary puncture repair kit,
check the pressures of the four tyres
when cold,
or
F
if it is not possible to make this check


immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
The alert is maintained until the system
is reinitialised.
Driving safely

11 7
Reinitialisation
It is necessary to reinitialise the system
every time one or more tyre pressure is
adjusted, and after changing one or more
wheels.Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the tyre
pressure label.
The under-inflation detection system does
not give a warning if a pressure is incorrect
at the time of reinitialisation. F
With the ignition on and the vehicle


stationary, press this button for about
3
seconds then release it, an audible
signal confirms the reinitialisation.
The under-inflation alert is only
dependable if the system has been
reinitialised with all four tyres inflated to the
correct pressures.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains. The flashing and then fixed
illumination of the under-inflation
warning lamp accompanied by the
display of a message, depending
on equipment, indicates a fault
with the system.
Before doing anything to the system,


the pressures of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.
Operating fault
In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer assured.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

SAFETY
Driving safely

138
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a steep
slope in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this case,
automatic cutting off of the air conditioning
allows the engine power to be saved.If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
ChecksSee the "Levels" section of
chapter 7.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures on the
towing vehicle and the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance.
d rive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradually. Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased.
d rive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.
ABS: the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.
Distribution of loads
distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest objects are as close as possible
to the axle and the nose weight is close to
the maximum authorised without, however,
exceeding it. The air density decreases with
altitude, so reducing the performance of the
engine. The maximum towed load must be
reduced by 10 % for each 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Refer to the "Technical data -
Identification markings" section. Rear parking sensors: the sensors will be
deactivated automatically when an genuine
CITR
o Ë n towbar is used.
Towbar
We recommend the use of genuine
CITR
o Ë n towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and that
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If this equipment is not fitted by a CITR
o Ë n

dealer

, it is essential that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment located at
the rear of the vehicle and following the
manufacturer's instructions.
The operation of the rear parking sensors is
deactivated automatically when the trailer
cable connector is inserted in the towbar
socket.
When the trailer cable is removed, the rear
parking sensors are re-activated.
Refer to the "Technology on board -
Parking sensors" section.
For information on the maximum
weights and towed loads applicable to
your vehicle, refer to the "Technical data -
Weights" section.
