EnVIrOnMEnt
With you, CITROËN acts to protect the 
environment.
We invite you to visit the  
www.citroen.co.uk website. As the driver, you also can contribute to 
protecting the environment in the following 
way:
-
 
drive smoothly
 , without frequent and 
harsh acceleration,
-
 
observe the service intervals; we
  
recommend that services are carried 
out by a CITROËN dealer, authorised to 
collect used batteries and fluids,
-
 
in order to preserve the reliability of the
  
engine and emission control systems, 
do not use engine oil additives. Refer to information on eco-driving at 
the end of this section.

EcO-drIVInG
Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without 
waiting. While accelerating changing up early. If your vehicle has 
the system, the gear shift indicator invites you to engage the most 
suitable gear; follow its instructions as soon as it is displayed in 
the instrument panel.
drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine 
braking rather than the brake pedal, and press the accelerator 
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 20 mph (30 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well.
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 open.
Remember to make use of equipment that can help keep the 
temperature in the passenger compartment down (window 
blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic digital 
regulation, as soon as the desired temperature is attained.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.
Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps when the level of 
light does not require their use.
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to \
optimise their fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions.
Avoid running the engine before moving off, 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 towards limiting the\
 
consumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before leaving the vehicle. 
Motoring & the Environment  
Page 15 of 308

Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in 
the bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance 
(roof bars, roof rack, trailer...).
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer 
tyres.
Observe the recommendations on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the 
label in the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
- 
before a long journey
 ,
-
 
at each change of season,
-
 
after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or
 
caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air 
filter, cabin filter...) and observe the schedule of operations in the 
manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR has a fault your vehicle 
becomes polluting; go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop as soon as possible to bring the levels of nitrous oxide 
emissions back into line with the regulations.
When refuelling, do not continue after the 3
rd cut-off of the nozzle 
to avoid any overflow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1
  800   miles 
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle 
down to a consistent average.

 18ELEctrOnIc IMMOBILISEr
All of the keys contain an electronic 
immobiliser device.
This device locks the engine supply system. 
It is activated automatically when the key is 
removed from the ignition.Operating the remote control, even when it 
is in your pocket, may result in involuntary 
unlocking of the doors.
The simultaneous use of other high 
frequency equipment (mobile telephones, 
domestic alarms…), may interfere with the 
operation of the remote control temporarily.
The remote control does not operate while 
the key is in the ignition, even if the ignition 
is off, except for reinitialisation.
Good practice
Make a careful note of the key number. If the 
keys are are lost, it will be easier for your 
CITROËN dealer to help if you can supply 
this number and the confidential card.
Do not make any modifications to the 
electronic immobiliser system.This warning lamp is switched off 
after the ignition is switched on 
and the key has been recognised, 
the engine can be started.
If the key is not recognised, the engine 
cannot be started. Use another key and 
have the faulty key checked by a CITROËN 
dealer. After the ignition is switched on, a dialogue 
is established between the key and the 
electronic immobiliser system.
cOnFIdEntIAL cArd
This is given to you on delivery of your 
vehicle with the duplicate keys.
It contains the identification code necessary 
for any work carried out by a CITROËN 
dealer on the electronic immobiliser system. 
This code is hidden by a film, which should 
be removed only if necessary.
Keep your card in a safe place, never inside 
the vehicle.
When undertaking a long trip or journey, 
however, it is advisable to take it with you 
along with your personal papers.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle:
-
 
ensure that you are given the
 
confidential card,
-
 
have the keys memorised by a
 
CITROËN dealer to ensure that the keys 
in your possession are the only ones 
which can start the vehicle.
Driving with the doors locked may 
make access to the passenger 
compartment by the emergency services 
more difficult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on 
board), remove the key from the ignition 
when leaving the vehicle, even for a short 
time.
