Eco- driving
Optimise the use of your
gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently
and change up without waiting. During
acceleration change up early.
With an automatic gearbox, give preference
to automatic mode and avoid pressing the
accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
use engine braking rather than the
brake pedal, and press the accelerator
progressively. These practices contribute
towards a reduction in fuel consumption and
CO
2 emissions and also help reduce the
background traffic noise.
Control the use of your electrical
equipment
Before moving off, if the passenger
compartment is too warm, ventilate it by
opening the windows and air vents before
using the air conditioning.
Above 30
mph (50 km/h), close the windows
and leave the air vents open.
Consider using equipment that can help
keep the temperature in the passenger
compartment down (sunroof blind and window
blinds, etc.).
Unless it has automatic regulation, switch off
the air conditioning as soon as the desired
temperature has been reached. Switch off the headlamps and foglamps when
the ambient light level does not require their
use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up
much faster while driving.
As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your
multimedia devices (film, music, video game,
etc.), you will contribute towards limiting the
consumption of electrical energy, and so of
fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before
leaving the vehicle.
The gear shift indicator invites you to engage
the most suitable gear: as soon as the
indication is displayed in the instrument panel,
follow it straight away.
For vehicles fitted with an automatic gearbox,
this indicator appears only in manual mode. If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of
the system at speeds above 25
mph (40 km/h)
when the traffic is flowing well. Switch off the demisting and defrosting
controls, if these are not controlled
automatically.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as
possible.
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices
that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions.

Warning and indicator
lamps
Visual indicators informing the driver that
a system is in operation, switched off (on/
off indicator lamps) or has developed a fault
(warning lamps).
When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a few
seconds when the vehicle's ignition is switched
on.
When the engine is started, these same
warning lamps should go off.
If they remain on, before driving refer to the
information on the warning lamp concerned.
Associated warnings
Certain warning lamps may come on in one of
two modes: fixed (continuous) or flashing.
Only by relating the type of lighting to the
operating status of the vehicle can it be
ascertained whether the situation is normal or
whether a fault has occurred.
In the event of a fault, the illumination of the
warning lamp may be accompanied by an
audible signal and/or a message.
Warning lamps
When the engine is running or the vehicle is
being driven, illumination of one of the following
warning lamps indicates a fault which requires
action on the part of the driver.
Any fault resulting in the illumination of a
warning lamp must be investigated further
using the associated message.
If you encounter any problems, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Operation indicator lamps
The lighting of one of the following indicator
lamps confirms that the corresponding system
is on.
Deactivation indicator
lamps
If one of the following indicator lamps comes
on, this confirms that the corresponding system
has been switched off intentionally.
This may be accompanied by an audible signal
and a message being displayed.

Rear foglamp Fixed. The rear foglamp has been switched
on using the ring on the lighting
control stalk. Turn the ring on the lighting control stalk rear wards to
switch off the rear foglamp.
Stop & Star t Fixed.
When the vehicle is stopped (red lights,
traffic jams, etc.), the Stop & Start system
puts the engine into STOP mode.The warning lamp goes off and the engine restarts
automatically in START mode, as soon as you want
to move off.

This value may vary following a change
in the driving style or the relief, resulting
in a significant change in the current fuel
consumption.
When the range falls below 18
miles (30 km),
dashes are displayed. After filling with at least
5

litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is
displayed if it exceeds 60
miles (100 km).
If dashes are displayed continuously while
driving instead of the digits, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

engine
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip which has
a secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised to permit the
engine to start.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a moment after
the ignition is switched off, and prevents
unauthorised engine starting.In the event of a fault, you are
informed by illumination of this
warning lamp, an audible signal and
a message in the screen.
In this case, your vehicle will not start; contact
a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.
Key ignition switch
Ignition on position
This permits use of the vehicle's electrical
equipment or charging of portable devices.
Once the state of charge of the battery drops
to the reser ve level, the system switches to
energy economy mode: the power supply is
cut off automatically to preser ve the remaining
battery charge. Avoid attaching heavy objects to the key
or the remote control, which would weigh
down on its blade in the ignition switch
and could cause a malfunction.

without pressing the accelerator pedal,
until the engine starts. Once the engine is
running, release the key.
F

W
ith a diesel engine, turn the key to
position 2 , ignition on, to operate the engine
pre-heating system.
Wait until this warning lamp goes
off in the instrument cluster then
operate the starter motor by
turning the key to position 3
without
pressing the accelerator pedal until
the engine starts. Once the engine
is running, release the key.
In wintry conditions, the warning lamp can
stay on for a longer period. If the engine is
hot, the warning lamp does not come on.
If the engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition. Wait a few moments
before operating the starter motor again.
If the engine does not start after several
attempts, do not keep trying: you risk
damaging the starter motor or the engine.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. In temperate conditions, do not leave
the engine at idle to warm up but move
off straight away and drive at moderate
speed.
Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion engines
emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon
monoxide. Risk of intoxication and death.
In severe wintry conditions (temperature
below -23°C), the engine should be left
at idle for 4
minutes before moving off to
ensure the correct operation and life of the
mechanical parts of your vehicle, engine
and gearbox.
