Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move of f 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.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking
rather than the brake pedal, and press the accel -
erator
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 of f, 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
(sun
-
roof
and window blinds...).
Switch
of
f
the
air
conditioning,
unless
it
has
automatic
regu
-
lation,
as soon as the desired temperature is attained.
Switch
of
f
the
demisting
and
defrosting
controls,
if
not
au
-
tomatic.
Switch
off the heated seat as soon as possible.
Switch
of
f
the
headlamps
and
front
foglamps
when
the
level of
light does not require their use.
Avoid
running
the
engine
before
moving
of
f,
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
to
-
wards
limiting
the
consumption
of
electrical
energy
,
and
so
of
fuel.
Disconnect
your
portable
devices
before
leaving
the
vehicle.
ECO-DRIVING
The gear efficiency 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.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILA TION AND AIR CONDITIONING
In order for these systems to be fully ef fective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F
T
o
obtain
an
even
air
distribution,
take
care
not
to
obstruct
the
exterior
air
intake
grille
s
located
at
the
base
of
the
windscreen,
the
nozzles,
the
vents
and
the
air
outlets,
as
well
as
the
air
extractor
located
in
the
boot.
F
Do
not
cover
the
sunshine
sensor
,
located
on
the
dashboard;
this
is
used
for regulation of the air conditioning system.
F
Operate
the
air
conditioning
system
for
at
least
5
to
10
minutes,
once
or
twice
a month to keep it in perfect working order.
F
Ensure
that
the
passenger
compartment
filter
is
in
good
condition
and
have
the filter elements replaced regularly.
W
e
recommend
the
use
of
a
combined
passenger
compartment
filter
.
Thanks
to
its
special
active
additive,
it
contributes
to
the
purification
of
the
air
breathed
by
the
occupants
and
the
cleanliness
of
the
passenger
compartment
(reduction
of
allergic
symptoms,
bad
odours
and
greasy
deposits).
F
T
o
ensure
correct
operation
of
the
air
conditioning
system,
you
are
also
advised
to
have
it
checked
regularly
as
recommended
in
the
mainte
-
nance
and warranty guide.
F
If
the
system
does
not
produce
cold
air
,
switch
it
of
f
and
contact
a
CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
When
towing
the
maximum
load
on
a
steep
gradient
in
high
temperatures,
switching
of
f
the
air
conditioning
increases
the
available
engine
power
and
so
improves the towing ability. If
after
an
extended
stop
in
sun
-
shine,
the
interior
temperature
is
very
high, first ventilate the pas -
senger compartment for a few moments.
Put
the
air
flow
control
at
a
set
-
ting
high
enough
to
quickly
change
the
air
in
the
passenger
compartment.
The
air
conditioning
system
does
not
contain
chlorine
and
does
not
present
any
danger
to
the
ozone layer.
The
condensation
created
by
the
air
conditioning
results
in
a
discharge
of
water
under
the
ve
-
hicle
which is perfectly normal.
Stop & Start
The
heating
and
air
conditioning
systems
only
work
when
the
