Eco-driving
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  
b

ars,   roof   rack,   bicycle   carrier,   trailer...).   Use   a   roof   box   in   preference.
Remove
  roof   bars   and   roof   racks   after   use.
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:
-
 
b
efore   a   long   journey,
-
 
a
t   each   change   of   season,
-
 
a
fter   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...)   and  
o

bserve   the   schedule   of   operations   recommended   by   the   manufacturer.
When
  refuelling,   do   not   continue   after   the   3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to a
void
 
any
 
over flow.
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.

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines belo w:
F
 
T
o   obtain   an   even   air   distribution,   take   care   not   to   obstruct   the   exterior   air   intake   grilles  
l

ocated   at   the   base   of   the   windscreen,   the   nozzles,   the   vents   and   the   air   outlets,   as   well  
a

s   the   air   extractor   located   in   the   boot.
F
 
O
perate   the   air   conditioning   system   for   at   least   5   to   10   minutes,   once   or   twice   a   month  
t

o   keep   it   in   per fect   working   order.
F
 
E
nsure   that   the   passenger   compartment   filter   is   in   good   condition   and   have   the   filter  
e

lements   replaced   regularly.
F
 
T
o   ensure   correct   operation   of   the   air   conditioning   system,   you   are   also   advised   to   have  
i

t   checked   regularly   as   recommended   in   the   maintenance   and   warranty   guide.
F
 
I
f   the   system   does   not   produce   cold   air,   switch   it   off   and   contact   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w
orkshop.
When
  towing   the   maximum   load   on   a   steep   gradient   in   high   temperatures,   switching   off   the  
a

ir   conditioning   increases   the   available   engine   power   and   so   improves   the   towing   ability.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine, the  i nterior  t emperature  i s  v ery  h igh,  f irst  
v

entilate   the   passenger   compartment   for  
a

  few   moments.
Put
  the   air   flow   control   at   a   setting   high  
e

nough   to   quickly   change   the   air   in   the  
p

assenger
 c
ompartment.
The
  air   conditioning   system   does   not  
c

ontain   chlorine   and   does   not   present  
a

ny   danger   to   the   ozone   layer.
The
  condensation   created   by   the   air  
c

onditioning   results   in   a   discharge  
o

f   water   under   the   vehicle   which   is  
p

er fectly   normal.

  is   selected,   the   vehicle   moves   even  
w

ithout   the   accelerator   being   pressed.
When
  the   engine   is   running,   never  
l

eave   children   in   the   vehicle   without  
sup

Never select position N while the
vehicle
  is   moving.
Never select positions P or R unless the
vehicle
  is   completely   stationary.
Automatic operation
F Select position D for automatic changing o
f   the   four   gears.
The
  gearbox   then   operates   in   auto-adaptive  
m

ode,   without   any   intervention   on   the   part  
o

f   the   driver.   It   continuously   selects   the   most  
s

uitable   gear   according   to   the   style   of   driving,  
t

he   profile   of   the   road   and   the   load   in   the  
v

ehicle.
For
  maximum   acceleration   without   touching  
t

he   selector,   press   the   accelerator   pedal   down  
f

ully   (kick   down).   The   gearbox   changes   down  
a

utomatically   or   maintains   the   gear   selected  
u

ntil   the   maximum   engine   speed   is   reached.
On
  braking,   the   gearbox   changes   down  
a

utomatically   to   provide   efficient   engine  
b

raking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the
gearbox
  will   not   change   to   a   higher   gear   for  
s

afety   reasons.
If
 
the
 
ambient
 
temperature
 
is
