DRIVING








GEAR EFFICIENCY
INDICATOR *

System which reduces fuel con-
sumption by advising the driver to
change up on vehicles fi tted with a
manual gearbox.

Operation

The system intervenes only when
driving economically.
Depending on the driving situation
and your vehicle's equipment, the
system may advise you to skip one
or more gears. You can follow this
instruction without engaging the in-
termediate gears.
The gear engagement recommen-
dations must not be considered
compulsory. In fact, the confi gu-
ration of the road, the amount of
traffi c and safety remain determin-
ing factors when choosing the best
gear. Therefore, the driver remains
responsible for deciding whether or
not to follow the advice given by the
system.
This function cannot be deactivated.

*
According to engine.
Example:


- You are in third gear.

- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.

- The system may suggest that
you engage a higher gear, if ap-
propriate.
The information appears in the in-
strument panel in the form of an ar-
row accompanied by the suggested
gear.

In the case of driving which
makes particular demands on
the performance of the engine
(fi rm pressure on the accelerator
pedal, for example, when overtak-
ing...), the system will not recom-
mend a gear change.
The system never suggests:


- engaging fi rst gear,

- engaging reverse gear,

- engaging a lower gear.

DRIVING
STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the en-
gine temporarily into standby - STOP
mode - during stops in the traffi c
(red lights, traffi c jams, or other...).
The engine restarts automatically -
START mode - as soon as you want
to move off. The restart takes place
instantly, quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop &
Start system reduces fuel consump-
tion and exhaust emissions as well
as the noise level when stationary.

Operation



- with the electronic gearbox
system
, at speeds below 4 mph
(6 km/h), press the brake pedal or
put the gear lever in position N
.
Going into engine STOP mode

The "ECO"
warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and
the engine goes into standby:
If your vehicle is fi tted
with the system, a time
counter calculates the
sum of the periods in
STOP mode during a journey. It rests
itself to zero every time the ignition
is switched on with the key.

For your comfort, during parking
maoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the func-
tionality of the vehicle, such as for ex-
ample, braking, power steering...


Never refuel with the engine
in STOP mode; you must
switch off the ignition with the
key.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
In this case, the "ECO"

warning lamp fl ashes for a
few seconds then goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.
STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fas-
tened,

- the vehicle has not exceeded
6 mph (10 km/h) since the last
engine start using the key,

- the electric parking brake is ap-
plied or being applied,

- the engine is needed to maintain
a comfortable temperature in the
passenger compartment,

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature,
braking assistance, ambient
temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a
system.

BLEEDING THE DIESEL FUEL
FILTER

Protective cover


Removing the cover


Bleeding water from the fuel
filter
Bleed regularly (at each oil change).
To bleed the water, slacken the bleed
screw or the water in diesel fuel sen-
sor, located at the base of the fi lter.
Continue until all the water has
fl owed out.
Then tighten the bleed screw or the
water detection sensor.

engines



)
Pull the protective cover upwards
to remove it.

HDi 140 engine



)
Remove the protective cover by
fi rst unclipping at 3
, then 1
and 4.

)
Unclip at 2
by pulling towards
you, then lift up.
Refi tting


)
Firstly clip in at 2
.

)
Lower and centre the cover.

)
Unclip the protective cover to gain
access to the priming pump.




HDi 140 and HDi 160 engines



)
Unclip the protective cover to gain
access to the priming pump.



Priming the fuel system

In the event of running out of fuel:


)
after fi lling (minimum 5 litres) and
removing the protective cover,
operate the manual priming pump,
until some resistance is felt,

)
operate the starter motor while
depressing the accelerator pedal
slightly until the engine starts. HDi engines make use of ad-
vanced technology.
For any work on your vehicle, con-
tact a qualifi ed workshop that has
the skills and equipment required,
which a CITROËN dealer is able to
provide.
V6 HDi 240 engine with electric
pump
In the event of running out of fuel:


)
after adding fuel, turn the ignition
key to position M
, wait for a few
seconds,

)
operate the starter motor until
the engine starts.
If the engine fails to start after sev-
eral attempts, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop. If the engine fails to start at the fi rst
attempt, wait fi fteen seconds before
trying again.
If the engine fails to start after a few
attempts, operate the priming pump
again and then try to start the en-
gine.
When the engine is idling, accelerate
slightly to complete the bleeding of
the circuit.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION









Matt paint

If you vehicle is fi nished with a clear
matt lacquer, please observe the fol-
lowing recommendations to avoid
damaging the paintwork by the use
of an inappropriate cleaning proce-
dures.
These recommendations are also
valid for alloy road wheels fi nished
with clear matt lacquer.
Never clean the vehicle without water.
Never wash your vehicle in an automatic roller brush car wash.
Never polish the vehicle body, nor the alloy wheels. Doing this will make the
paintwork shiny.
Do not use paint cleaners, abrasive products or paint polishing or preserving
products (such as wax, for example) on the paintwork. These products are
only suitable for bright fi nishes. Application of these products on vehicles with
a matt fi nish will seriously damage the paint surface of the vehicle, giving rise
to irreversible shiny or stained areas.
Never use a high pressure jet wash with a lance fi tted with a brush, this may
scratch the paintwork.
Never select a wash programme that fi nishes with a hot wax cycle.

We recommend the use of a high pressure jet wash, or at least a water hose
with a high output.
We recommend that the vehicle be rinsed using de-ionised water.
Use only a microfi bre cloth to dry the vehicle. It must be clean and used
without heavy pressure.
Lightly wipe off any fuel stains present on the bodywork using a soft cloth,
then leave to dry.
From the range of cleaning and maintenance products in the "TECHNATURE"
range recommended and approved by CITROËN, use only the insect remover
and car shampoo, which are the only products to be used on the bodywork.
The insect remover can also be used to remove minor marks (for example:
fi nger marks...).
Always have paint repairs done by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
