fuel consumption Citroen BERLINGO MULTISPACE RHD 2014.5 2.G Owner's Manual

16Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2
emissions.
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   or   electronic   gearbox,   give   preference  
to

  automatic   mode   and   avoid   pressing   the   accelerator  
pedal

  heavily   or   suddenly.
The
  gear   shift   indicator   invites   you   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   electronic   or   automatic   gearbox,  
this

  indicator   appears   only   in   manual   mode.
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
 
helps
 
reduce
 
the
 
background   traffic  
noise.
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.
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.
Remember
  to   make   use   of   equipment   that   can   help   keep  
the

  temperature   in   the   passenger   compartment   down  
(sunroof

  and   window   blinds...).
Switch
  off   the   air   conditioning,   unless   it   has   automatic  
regulation,

  as   soon   as   the   desired   temperature   is   attained.
Switch
  off   the   demisting   and   defrosting   controls,   if   not  
automatic.
Switch

  off   the   heated   seat   as   soon   as   possible.
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.
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.
d

isconnect your portable devices before leaving the
vehicle.
Motoring & Environment

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.
d

on'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.
With
  a   Blue   HDi   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   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.

EMISSIOnS cOntrOLS
EoBd (European on Board diagnosis) is a diagnostics
system
  which   complies   with,  
among

  others,   the   standards  
concerning authorised
emissions

  of:
-
 
CO

 
(carbon   monoxide),
-

HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
-

no
x (nitrous oxides) or particles,
detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream
  and   downstream   of   the  
catalytic

  converters.
The
 
driver
 
is
 
warned
 
of
 
any
 
malfunction
 
of

 
this
 
emission   control   system   by   the  
illu

mination   of   this   specific   warning  
lamp

 
in
 
the   instrument   panel.
There
 
is
 
a   risk   of   damage   to   the

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.
 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.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 af

fects 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.
Refer
  to   chapter   9,   "Identification  
markings"

  section.
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).  
Otherwise,

  add   0.3   bar   to   the   values  
indicated

  on   the   label.

To assure respect for the environment and   conformity   with   the   new   Euro   6  
emissions

  standard,   without   adversely  
af

fecting   the   performance   or   fuel  
consumption

  of   Diesel   engines,  
CITROËN

  has   taken   the   decision   to  
equip

  its   vehicles   with   an   effective  
system

  that   associates   SCR   (Selective  
Catalytic Reduction) with a particle
filter

  (FAP)   for   the   treatment   of   exhaust  
gases.
Presentation of the Scr system
Using an additive called adBlue®
containing urea, a catalytic converter
turns up to 85% of nitrous oxides
(
no
x) into nitrogen and water, which
are
 
harmless
 
to
 
health
 
and
 
the
 
environment.
The

a
dBlue
® additive is held in a
special
 
tank
 
located   under   the   boot  
at

 
the
 
rear
 
of   the   vehicle.   It   has   a  
capacity

 
of
 
17   litres:   this   provides   a  
driving

 
range   of   about   12   500   miles  
(20

 
000 km),   after   which   an   alert  
is triggered warning you when the
reserve

 
remaining   is   enough   for   just  
1
 
500
 
miles
 
(2   400   km).
d

uring each scheduled service of
your vehicle by a CITR
o Ë n dealer
or
 
a
 
qualified   workshop,   the  
AdBlue®
additive
 
tank
 
is
 
refilled
 
in
 
order
 
to
 
allow  
normal

 
operation
 
of
 
the
 
SCR
 
system.
If
 
the
 
estimated
 
mileage
 
between
 

two services is greater than
12 500 miles
 
(20
 
000
 
km),
 
we
 
recommend

 
that
 
you
 
go
 
to
 
a
 
CITROËN  
dealer

 
or
 
a
 
qualified
 
workshop
 
to
 
have  
the

 
necessary
 
top-up
 
carried
 
out.
o
nce the a dBlue
® tank is empty, a
 
system
 
required   by   regulations  
prevents

 
starting
 
of   the   engine.
If the SCR

is faulty, the level of
emissions
 
from
 
your
 
vehicle   will   no  
longer

 
meet
 
the
 
Euro
 
6   standard:   you  
vehicle

 
becomes
 
polluting.
In
 
the
 
event
 
of
 
a
 
confirmed   fault  
with

 
the
 
SCR
 
system,
 
you   must   go  
to

 
a
 
CITROËN
 
dealer
 
or   a   qualified  
workshop

 
as
 
soon
 
as
 
possible:   after  
a
 
running
 
distance
 
of
 
650   miles  
(1
 
100
 
km),
 
a
 
system
 
will   be   triggered  
automatically

 
to
 
prevent   engine  
starting.
