ECO-DRIVING
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emis-
sions.

Optimise the use of your
gearbox

With a manual gearbox, move off
gently, change up without waiting
and drive by changing up quite soon.
If your vehicle has the system, the
gear effi ciency indicator invites you to
change up; it is displayed in the instru-
ment panel, follow its instructions.

With an automatic or electronic gear-
box, stay in Drive "D"
or Auto "A"
,
according to the type of gearbox,
without pressing the accelerator pedal
heavily or suddenly.



Drive smoothly


Maintain a safe distance between ve-
hicles, 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
traffi c noise.

If your vehicle has cruise control,
make use of the system at speeds
above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the
traffi c is fl owing 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
(sunroof and 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. 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 con-
necting your multimedia devices
(fi lm, music, video game...), you will
contribute towards limiting the con-
sumption of electrical energy, and so
of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices be-
fore leaving the vehicle.

29COMFORT-
VENTILATION


1.
Windscreen de-icing or
demisting vents.

2.
Front window de-icing or
demisting vents.

3.
Side vents.

4.
Centre vents.

5.
Air outlets to front footwells. The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not pres-
ent any danger to the ozone layer.
Operate the air conditioning system
for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a
month, to keep it in perfect working
order.
The water created by the air condi-
tioning condensation is discharged
via an opening provided for this pur-
pose. Therefore, a puddle of water
may form underneath the vehicle
when stationary.
If the system does not produce
cold air, do not use it and contact a
CITROËN dealer.

De-icing the rear windows and
mirrors
With the engine running, pressing
the control de-ices the rear windows
and mirrors.
It switches off automatically after ap-
proximately twelve minutes.
Pressing the control again switch-
es the de-icing system on again for
twelve minutes.
It is possible to switch off the de-ic-
ing by pressing the control before the
twelve minutes have elapsed.



Advice on operation

Select the air distribution most suited
to your requirements and the climatic
conditions.
Gradually adjust the temperature
setting for your comfort.
Position the air control in the ''Outside
Air'' position.
For perfectly even air distribution,
take care not to obstruct the exterior
air intake grille and the vents. Check
that the passenger compartment fi l-
ter is in good condition.
When the engine is cold, to prevent
too great a distribution of cold air, the
ventilation will increase to its opti-
mum level gradually.
In order to be effective, the air condi-
tioning ( A/C
button), should only be
used with the windows closed.
If the interior temperature remains
very high following a prolonged period
parked in the sun, do not hesitate to
ventilate the passenger compartment
for a few minutes.

COMFORT32 -
Press the switch to activate
the air conditioning. The indi-
cator lamp comes on.
2. Air fl ow adjustment and air
intake control
Turn the control from posi-
tion 1
to position 4
to obtain
an air fl ow suffi cient to ensure
your comfort.
AIR CONDITIONING


The air conditioning does not operate
while the air fl ow adjustment control
is in the minimum position.


Note:
to optimise the operation of
the air conditioning, leave the vents
open.
1. Air conditioning control
The air conditioning is designed to
operate in all seasons. In summer, it
enables the temperature to be lowered
and in winter, above 0 °C, it increases
the effectiveness of the demisting.

33COMFORT-
Centre and side vents.
This setting is recommended for high
temperatures.
Recirculation of interior air.
This position prevents exterior odours
and smoke entering the passenger
compartment.
Used simultaneously with the air con-
ditioning, recirculation enables both
heating and cooling performance to
be improved.
Used without the air conditioning,
recirculation may result in the forma-
tion of mist on the windows.
As soon as possible, position the con-
trol in the exterior air intake position.

3. Temperature adjustment
To be adjusted to your requirements.
From blue (cold when the air condi-
tioning is on) to red (hot).
4. Air distribution adjustment
Windscreen and side windows
(de-icing/demisting).
To quickly de-ice or demist the wind-
screen and side windows:


- turn the temperature and air fl ow
controls to maximum,

- close the centre vents,

- position the air intake control in
the "Outside Air" position,

- start the air conditioning. Footwells.
These settings are recommended for
cold climates. Windscreen, side windows
and footwells. Intake of exterior air.
This is the normal operating position.

69 DRIVING
-
FRONT AIRBAGS
These are folded in the centre of the
steering wheel for the driver and in
the fascia for the front passenger.
They are deployed simultaneously,
except in cases where the passen-
ger airbag is disarmed, in the event
of a serious front impact applied in
the impact zone A
in the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle, on a hori-
zontal plane and from the front of the
vehicle towards the rear. The airbag
infl ates between the front occupant of
the vehicle and the fascia to cushion
his forward movement. The airbags
therefore limit the risk of injury to the
head and chest.
The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of serious collisions. They
work in conjunction with the force-lim-
iting seat belts. The electronic detec-
tors register and analyse any abrupt
deceleration of the vehicle in the im-
pact detection zones (see diagram):
if the triggering threshold is reached,
the airbags infl ate instantly and pro-
tect the occupants of the vehicle.

Impact detection zones


A.
Front impact zone.

B.
Side impact zone. Immediately after the impact, the
airbags defl ate rapidly so that they
do not hinder the visibility of the oc-
cupants nor their exit if necessary
from the vehicle.
The airbags are not deployed in the
case of minor impacts, rear impacts
or in certain roll-over conditions. The
seat belt is suffi cient to ensure maxi-
mum protection in these situations.
The seriousness of a collision de-
pends on the nature of the obstacle
and the speed of the vehicle at the
moment of the collision.

Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.


Note
: the gas escaping from
the airbags can be a minor
irritant.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
78 -
CHECKS
Oil filter

Change the fi lter regularly, in accord-
ance with the servicing schedule.
Only use products recom-
mended by CITROËN or
products of equivalent quality
and specifi cations.
To ensure best performance from
components as important as the
power steering and the braking sys-
tem, CITROËN selects and offers
quite specifi c products.
To prevent damage to the electrical
units, avoid washing the engine.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL)

If you should run out of fuel, it is nec-
essary to re-prime the circuit:


- fi ll the fuel tank with at least fi ve litres
of diesel,

- squeeze and release the manual
re-priming pump, under the bonnet
under the protective cover, until fuel
appears in the transparent pipe,

- operate the starter until the engine
starts.
FUEL SUPPLY CUT-OFF(PETROL)

In a serious collision, a mechanism prevents
fuel from reaching the engine.
To re-establish the fuel supply, press
the switch on the corner of the front
right-hand suspension assembly, under
the bonnet.


Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
Have the fi lter elements replaced regu-
larly. If you drive in dusty conditions,
change them twice as often.



Brake pads

Brake pad wear depends on the style
of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances.
It may be necessary to check the
thickness of the pads, even between
services.


Disc and drum wear status

For any information relating to check-
ing the disc and drum wear status,
contact a CITROËN dealer.


Manual gearbox

This does not require an oil change.
Check the level in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.

To check the main levels and cer-
tain components, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing
schedule, refer to the pages of
the servicing booklet which corre-
spond to your vehicle's engine.



Handbrake

Where the handbrake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the
handbrake should be adjusted, even
between services.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer.


Battery

At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a CITROËN dealer.
