Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without waiting. During   acceleration   change   up   early.
The
  gear   shift   indicator   invites   you   engage   the   most   suitable   gear:   as  
s
oon   as   the   indication   is   displayed   in   the   instrument   panel,   follow   it  
s
traight   away.
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
 ope
n.
Remember
  to   make   use   of   equipment   that   can   help   keep   the
 t
emperature   in   the   passenger   compartment   down   (sunroof   and   window
 b
linds...).
To
  save   energy,   do   not   set   the   air   conditioning   at   too   low   a   temperature.
As
  soon   as   the   desired   temperature   has   been   reached,   limit   the   use   of
 t
he   air   conditioning,   except   if   regulation   is   automatic.
Switch
  off   the   demisting   and   defrosting   controls   as   soon   as   you   consider
 p
ossible.
Switch
  off   the   heated   seat   as   soon   as   possible.
Switch
  off   the   headlamps   and   foglamp   when   the   level   of   light   does   not  
r
equire   their   use.
Avoid
  running   the   engine   before   moving   off,   particularly   in   winter;   your  
v
ehicle   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  
c
onsumption   of   electrical   energy,   and   so   of   fuel.
Disconnect
  your   portable   devices   before   leaving   the   vehicle.
Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
With
 
an
 
electronic
 
gearbox,
 
do
 
not
 
press
 
the
 
accelerator
 
pedal
 
heavily
 
o
r
 s
uddenly.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather t han   the   brake   pedal,   and   press   the   accelerator   progressively.   These  
p
ractices   contribute   towards   a   reduction   in   fuel   consumption   and   CO
2 
emissions
 
and
 
also
 
help
 
reduce
 
the
 
background
 
traffic
 
noise.
If
 
your
 
vehicle
 
has
 
cruise
 
control,
 
make
 
use
 
of
 
the
 
system
 
at
 
speeds
 
a
bove
 
25
 
mph
 
(40
 
km/h)
 
when
 
the
 
traffic
 
is
 
flowing
 
well.

A few driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations at all times and remain   vigilant   whatever   the   traffic   conditions.
Pay
  close   attention   to   the   traffic   and   keep   your  
h
ands on the wheel so that you are ready to 
react
  at   any   time   to   any   eventuality.
On
  a   long   journey,   a   break   every   two   hours   is  
s
trongly
 re
 commended.
In
  difficult   weather,   drive   smoothly,   anticipate  
t
he   need   to   brake   and   increase   the   distance  
f
rom   other   vehicles.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded roads,   as   this   could   cause   serious   damage  
t
o   the   engine   or   gearbox,   as   well   as   to   the  
e
lectrical   systems   of   your   vehicle.If
  you   are   obliged   to   drive   through   water:
-  
c
 heck   that   the   depth   of   water   does   not  
e
xceed   15   cm,   taking   account   of   waves  
t
hat   might   be   generated   by   other   users,
-  
d
 eactivate   the   Stop   &   Start   system,
-  
d
 rive as slowly as possible without 
stalling.   In   all   cases,   do   not   exceed   6   mph  (
10 km/h),
-  d o not stop and do not switch off the 
engine.
On
  leaving   the   flooded   road,   as   soon   as  
c
ircumstances   allow,   make   several   light   brake  
a
pplications   to   dry   the   brake   discs   and   pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact 
a
  CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied   -   Risk   of   overheating   and  
d
amage   to   the   braking   system!
Do
  not   park   or   run   the   engine   when  
s
tationary   in   areas   where   inflammable  
s
ubstances   and   materials   (dry   grass,  
d
ead   leaves...)   might   come   into   contact  
w
ith   the   hot   exhaust   system   -   Risk   of  
f
ire!
ne
ver leave a vehicle unsupervised 
with
  the   engine   running.   If   you   have  
t
o   leave   your   vehicle   with   the   engine  
r
unning,   apply   the   parking   brake  
a
nd   put   the   gearbox   into   neutral   or  
p
osition
 
 N or P,
  depending   on   the   type  
o
f   gearbox.

F
 
I

  the   key   into   the   ignition   switch;   the  
s
ystem   recognises   the   code.
In
 
certain   cases,   you   may   have   to   apply  
m
ore   force   to   the   steering   (wheels   on  
f
ull
  lock,   for   example).
F
 
W
ith
 
a   petrol   engine,   operate   the   starter  
m
otor
  by   turning   the   key   to   position   3 
without
  pressing   the   accelerator   pedal,  
u
ntil
 
the   engine   starts.   Once   the   engine   is  
r
unning,   release   the   key. F
 W ith   a   Diesel   engine,   turn   the   key   to  
p
osition 2,
  ignition   on,   to   operate   the  
eng
ine
 p
 re-heating
 s
 ystem.
Wait until this warning lamp goes off in the instrument   panel   then   operate   the   starter m
otor   by   turning   the   key   to   position 3 
without
  pressing   the   accelerator   pedal,
 u
ntil   the   engine   starts.   Once   the   engine   is
 r
unning,   release   the   key.
In wintry conditions, the warning lamp can   stay   on   for   a   longer   period.   When  
t
he   engine   is   hot,   the   warning   lamp  
d
oes   not   come   on. In
  temperate   conditions,   do   not   leave  
t
he   engine   at   idle   to   warm   up   but   move  
o
ff   straight   away   and   drive   at   moderate  
s
peed.
Never   leave   the   engine   running   in  
a
n   enclosed   area   without   adequate  
v
entilation:
 in
 ternal
 c
 ombustion
 e
ngines   emit   toxic   exhaust   gases,  
s
uch   as   carbon   monoxide.   Danger   of  i
ntoxication   and   death.
In very severe wintry conditions 
(temperatures
  below   -23°C),   to   ensure  
t
he correct operation and durability of 
the
  mechanical   components   of   your  
v
ehicle,   engine   and   gearbox,   it   is  
n
ecessary   to   leave   the   engine   running  
f
or   4   minutes   before   moving   off.
If
  the   engine   does   not   start   straight  
a
way,   switch   off   the   ignition.   Wait   a   few  
m
oments   before   operating   the   starter  
m
otor   again.   If   the   engine   does   not  
s
tart   after   several   attempts,   do   not   keep  
t
rying:   you   risk   damaging   the   starter  
m
otor   or   the   engine.
