ECO-DRIVING
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2emis-sions.
Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gen-tly, change up without waiting and drive by changing up quite soon. If your vehicle has the system, the gear shift indicator invites you to change up; it is displayed in the instrument panel, follow its instructions.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, stay in Drive "D"
or Auto "A", according to the type of gearbox, without pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or sud-denly.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between ve-hicles, use engine braking rather than the brake pedal, and press the accel-erator progressively. These practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions and also helps reduce the background traf-22
fi c noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffi c is fl owing well.



Control the use of your electrical equipment


Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate itby opening the windows and air ventsbefore using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close thewindows and leave the air ventsopen.

Remember to make use of equipmentthat can help keep the temperaturein the passenger compartment down(sun roof and window blinds...).

Switch off the air conditioning, unlessit has automatic digital regulation, assoon as the desired temperature is at-tained.
Switch off the demisting and defrost-ing controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon aspossible.


Switch off the headlamps and frontfoglamps when the level of light doesnot require their use.

Avoid running the engine before mov-ing off, particularly in winter; your ve-hicle will warm up much faster whiledriving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connect-ing your multimedia devices (fi lm, mu-sic, video game...), you will contributetowards limiting the consumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices be-fore leaving the vehicle.

COMFORT
44 For even air distribution, take care not
to obstruct the exterior air intake grille
located at the bottom of the windscreen,
the vents, the air outlets under the front
seats and the air extractor located be-
hind the fl aps in the boot. The water formed by the air conditioning
condensation is discharged via an open-
ing provided for this purpose. Therefore,
a puddle of water may form underneath
the vehicle when stationary.
If the system does not produce cold air,
do not use it and have it checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
AUTOMATIC REGULATION OF
THE DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING
Do not cover the temperature and hu-
midity sensor 2
and the sunshine sen-
sor 7
.
They are required for regulation of the
air conditioning.
Advice on operation

In hot weather, in order to obtain in-
tense ventilation, it is advisable to
use vents 1
and 4
only.
If, when the vehicle has been parked
in the sun for a long time, the interior
temperature remains very high, fi rst
ventilate the passenger compart-
ment for a few minutes. Switch off the air conditioning
when the climatic conditions
permit. Use of the automatic regulation of the
air conditioning is recommended. It per-
mits automatic and optimised control of
all of the following functions: air fl ow,
passenger compartment temperature
and air distribution, by means of various
sensors (ambient temperature, interior
temperature, sunshine), so preventing
the need for you to change your set-
tings other than the value displayed. In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load on a
steep gradient in hot weather), switch-
ing off the air conditioning saves engine
power and therefore improves the tow-
ing capacity.
Close the windows to benefi t from the
full effectiveness of the air conditioning.
Ensure that the passenger compart-
ment fi lter is in good condition. Have
the fi lter elements replaced periodically.
If you drive in a dusty environment, re-
place it twice as often.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and is not harmful to
the ozone layer.
Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,
to keep it in good working order.

AUTOMATIC AIR
CONDITIONING

Automatic operation


)
Set the temperature control dial 1
to
the temperature required.

)
Place the air fl ow control dial 2
in
the "AUTO"
position.

)
Place the air distribution adjustment
dial 3
in the "AUTO"
position. When the engine is cold, to avoid an
excessive distribution of cold air, the
ventilation will reach its optimum level
gradually.
On entering the vehicle, the interior
temperature may be much colder (or
warmer) than the comfort tempera-
ture. There is no need to change the
temperature displayed in order to
reach the comfort required rapidly.
The automatic regulation of the air
conditioning will operate to correct
the temperature difference as quickly
as possible.
