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.

(kilometres) which can
still be travelled with the
fuel remaining in the tank,
based on the average
fuel consumption over
the last few miles (kilometres) travelled
(refer to the "Range" section).
Range
This indicates the average
fuel consumption, the
average speed and the
current fuel consumption
(refer to the "Trip

FUEL TANK Opening the cap may cause an inrush
of air. This vacuum, which is completely
normal, is caused by the sealing of the
fuel system.
To fi ll the tank safely:


)
the engine must be switched off,


)
pull the control A
located at the bot-
tom left of the driver's seat to re-
lease the fuel fi ller fl ap,

)
open the fuel fi ller fl ap B
,

)
turn the fi ller cap C
to the left,
When you have fi lled the tank:


)
refi t the fi ller cap, inserting the up-
per part fi rst,

)
screw in the fi ller cap to the right,

)
close the fl ap.
Ensure that the fuel fi ller fl ap is closed
correctly.
)
remove the fi ller cap C
,

)
fi ll the tank, but do not continue af-
ter the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle
;
this could cause malfunctions.


Low fuel level

Filling

A label, affi xed on the inside of the fl ap,
reminds you of the type of fuel to be
used according to your engine.
More than 5 litres of fuel must be add-
ed in order to be registered by the fuel
gauge.


When the low fuel level is
reached, this indication ap-
pears on the instrument panel
screen. When it fi rst comes
on, you have approximately
10 litres of fuel remaining.
The symbol fl ashes slowly
(approxi-
mately once per second).
When the symbol begins to
fl ash rapidly
(approximately
twice per second), there is not
much fuel remaining in your tank (ap-
proximately 5 litres).
You must fi ll the tank to avoid running
out of fuel.
This symbol indicates that the
fuel tank cap is located on the
left-hand side of the vehicle.

Quality of the fuel used for Diesel engines

The Diesel engines are perfectly com-
patible with biofuels which conform to
current and future European standards
(Diesel fuel which complies with stan-
dard EN 590 mixed with a biofuel which
complies with standard EN 14214)
available at the pumps (containing up
to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
The B30 biofuel can be used in cer-
tain Diesel engines; however, this use
is subject to strict application of the
special servicing conditions. Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or dilut-
ed, domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited
(risk of damage to the engine and fuel
system).

petrol engines


The petrol engines are perfectly com-
patible with E10 or E24 type petrol bio-
fuels (containing 10 % or 24 % ethanol),
conforming to European standards EN
228 and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 %
ethanol) are reserved exclusively for ve-
hicles marketed for the use of this type
of fuel (BioFlex vehicles). The quality of
the ethanol must comply with European
standard EN 15293.
For Brazil only, special vehicles are
marketed to run on fuels containing up
to 100 % ethanol (E100 type).
