Eco-driving
Eco-driving
Eco-driving refers to a range of everyday
practices that allow the motorist to optimise
the vehicle's energy consumption (fuel and/or
electricity) and CO
2 emissions.
Optimise your use of the gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and
change up promptly. While accelerating, change
up early.
With an automatic gearbox, favour automatic
mode. Do not depress the accelerator pedal
heavily or suddenly.
The gear shift indicator prompts you to engage
the most suitable gear. Whenever this indication
is displayed on the instrument panel, follow it
straight away.
With an automatic gearbox, this indicator
appears only in manual mode.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use
engine braking rather than the brake pedal and
press the accelerator gradually. These practices
help to save on energy consumption, reduce
CO
2 emissions and decrease general traffic
noise.
Favour the use of the "Eco" driving mode.
With an EAT8 gearbox, with the gear selector
in mode D, favour "free-wheeling" by gradually
lifting your foot fully off the accelerator pedal in
order to save fuel. When the traffic is flowing smoothly, select the
cruise control.
Control the use of 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.
At speeds above 31
mph (50 km/h), close the
windows and leave the air vents open.
Consider using equipment that can help keep
the temperature in the passenger compartment
down (e.g.
sunroof blind, window blinds).
Unless automatically regulated, switch off the air
conditioning as soon as the desired temperature
has been reached.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting functions,
if they are not managed automatically.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.
Adapt your use of the headlamps and/or
foglamps to the level of visibility, in accordance
with current legislation in the country in which
you are driving.
Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter (other than in severe wintry
conditions: temperature below -23°C). The
vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.
As a passenger, avoid connecting your
multimedia devices (e.g.
film, music, video
game) to help reduce the consumption of energy.
Disconnect all portable devices before leaving
the vehicle.
Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle. Place the
heaviest items in the boot as close as possible to
the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
minimise wind resistance (e.g.
roof bars, roof
rack, bicycle carrier, trailer). Preferably, use a
roof box.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit
summer tyres.
Comply with the servicing instructions
Check tyre pressures regularly, with the tyres
cold, referring to the label in the door aperture on
the 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.
Do not forget the spare wheel and, where
applicable, the tyres on your trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (e.g.

engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment
filter, etc.). Observe the schedule of operations in
the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system
has a fault, your vehicle will emit pollution. Visit
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
as soon as possible to restore your vehicle's
nitrogen oxide emissions to legal levels.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue after
the third cut-out of the nozzle, to avoid overflow.

Eco-driving
You will only see the fuel consumption of your
new vehicle settle down to a consistent average
after the first 1,900 miles (3,000 kilometres).
Optimising the driving range (Electric)
The vehicle's consumption of electrical energy
greatly depends on the route, speed and driving
style, as well as the use of the heating/air
conditioning.
Try to remain in the "ECO" zone on the power
indicator, by driving smoothly and maintaining a
steady speed.
Anticipate the need to slow down, and brake
smoothly, whenever possible using engine
braking with the regenerative braking function,
which will move the power indicator into the
"CHARGE" zone.
Use the air conditioning rather than the heating
to demist the passenger compartment.

26
Instruments
Associated warning lamps
Two successive alert levels indicate that the
energy available has dropped to a low level:
1st level: Reserve
The state of charge of the traction battery is low.
Fixed and indicator in the red zone,
accompanied by an audible signal.
►

V

iew the remaining range on the instrument
panel.
►

Put the vehicle on charge as soon as
possible.
2nd level: Critical
The state of charge of the traction battery is critical.
Fixed, together with the reserve warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal.
►

Y

ou must put the vehicle on charge.
The remaining range is no longer calculated. The drive train power
gradually decreases.
The heating and air conditioning are switched
off (even if the thermal comfort consumption
indicator is not at the "ECO" level).
Thermal comfort consumption
indicator (Electric)
(Depending on version)

The gauge shows the consumption of the
traction battery's electrical energy by the thermal
comfort devices in the passenger compartment.
The devices in question are the heating and air
conditioning systems.
This equipment can be used:
–

If the vehicle is not plugged in, when the
READY

lamp is lit.
–

If the vehicle is plugged in, when the ignition is
switched on ("Lounge" mode).
Selecting ECO

mode limits the performance of
some of this equipment. The thermal comfort
consumption indicator then moves into the
"ECO" zone.
To quickly heat or cool the passenger compartment, feel free to temporarily
select the maximum heating or cooling
setting.
When the heating is on maximum, the gauge
on the thermal comfort consumption indicator
is in the MAX zone. When the air conditioning
is on maximum, it stays in the ECO zone.
Excessive use of thermal comfort equipment,
particularly at low speed, can significantly
decrease the vehicle's range.
Remember to optimise equipment settings
upon achieving the desired level of comfort,
and adjust them if necessary whenever you
start the vehicle.
After an extended period without using the
heating, you may notice a slight odour during
the first few minutes of use.

► Position the strap(s) around the head
restraint(s) (depending on the position of the
partition).
►

T
ighten the strap(s) using the adjustable
section in order to correctly retain the items that
have been loaded inside the cover.
Do not place any load in the passenger
compartment outside the protective cover
(especially over the cover).
Regularly check the condition of the
protective cover.
When signs of wear and tear appear, contact
a CITROËN dealer to have it replaced by a
protective cover that meets the specifications
and qualities required by CITROËN and your
vehicle.
Heating and Ventilation
Advice
Using the ventilation and air
conditioning system
►

T

o ensure that air is distributed evenly,
keep the external air intake grilles at the base
of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents, the
air outlets and the air extractor in the boot
free from obstructions.
►

Do not cover the sunshine sensor located
on the dashboard; this sensor is used to
regulate the automatic air conditioning
system.
►


Operate the air conditioning system for at
least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to
keep it in good working order

.
►

If the system does not produce cold air
,
switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
When towing a large load on a steep gradient
in high temperatures, switching off the air
conditioning increases the available engine
power, enhancing the towing capacity.
Avoid driving for too long with the ventilation off or with prolonged operation
of interior air recirculation. Risk of misting and
deterioration of the air quality!
If the interior temperature is very high
after the vehicle has stood for a long
time in the sunshine, air the passenger
compartment for a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
Condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of
water underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly
normal.
Servicing the ventilation and air
conditioning system
►

Ensure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly

.
We recommend using a composite passenger
compartment filter. Its specific active additive
helps protect against polluting gases and bad
smells.
►

T

o ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, have it checked
according to the recommendations in the
Manufacturer’s service schedule.

74
Ease of use and comfort
Rapid heating of the passenger
compartment
► Press button 3c.
► Set knob 1 to a high temperature
(minimum 21).
►

Set knob
2 to at least position 3. In cold
weather (around 0°C), the heating of the
passenger compartment is optimal when
ventilation is at level 5.
►

Press button
4 to produce quicker results
(do not leave air recirculation active for too
long: risk of misting the windows).
►

Do not press any of the other buttons.


Contains R134A fluorinated
greenhouse gases
Depending on version and country of sale, the
air conditioning system may contain R134A
fluorinated greenhouse gases.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems
only operate when the engine is running.
Temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system to maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment.
For more information on the Stop &

Air flow
► Turn knob 2 to obtain sufficient air flow to
ensure your comfort.
The maximum level of ventilation is to be
reserved for defrosting or to cool the
temperature in the vehicle if it is too high.
If the air flow control knob is set to the
minimum position (system deactivated),
the temperature in the vehicle will no longer
be controlled. A slight flow of air can still be
felt, due to the forward movement of the
vehicle.
Temperature
► Turn the thumbwheel 1 from "LO" (cold)
to "HI" (hot) to adjust the temperature to your
requirements.
A setting of around 21 provides optimum comfort. Depending on your
requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is
normal.
In addition, we recommend avoiding left/right
setting differences of more than 3.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is significantly colder or
warmer than the comfort value setting, there
is no need to alter the value displayed in
order to reach the required level of comfort.
The system compensates automatically and
corrects the temperature difference as quickly
as possible.
