As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your
multimedia devices (film, music, video game
etc.), you will contribute towards limiting the
consumption of electrical energy, and so of
fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before
leaving the vehicle.
Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Optimise the use of
your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently,
change up without waiting and drive by
changing up quite soon.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, stay
in Drive D or Auto A, according to the type
of gearbox, without pressing the accelerator
pedal heavily or suddenly.
The gear efficiency indicator invites you to
engage the most suitable gear: as soon as the
indication is displayed in the instrument panel,
follow it straight away.
For vehicles fitted with an electronic or
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
progressively. These practices contribute
towards a reduction in fuel consumption and
CO
2 emissions and also help to reduce the
background traffic noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of
the system at speeds above 25 mph (40 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 open the air vents.
Remember to make use of equipment that can
help keep the temperature in the passenger
compartment down (window blinds, etc.). Switch off the headlamps and fog lamp 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. Switch off the air conditioning 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.

Warning lights
When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lights come on for a few
seconds when the vehicle's ignition is switched
on.
When the engine is started, these same
warning lights should go off.
If they remain on, before moving off refer to the
information on the warning light concerned.
Associated warnings
Certain warning lights may come on in one of
two modes: fixed (continuous) or flashing.
Only by relating the type of lighting to the
operating status of the vehicle can it be
ascertained whether the situation is normal or
whether a fault has occurred.
In the event of a fault, the illumination of the
warning light may be accompanied by an
audible signal and/or a message.
Warning lights
When the engine is running or the vehicle is
being driven, illumination of one of the following
warning lights indicates a fault which requires
action on the part of the driver.
Any fault resulting in the illumination of a
warning lamp must be investigated further
using the associated message.
If you encounter any problems, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.If one of the following indicator lights comes on
in the instrument panel and/or instrument panel
screen, this confirms that the corresponding
system has come into operation.
Operation indicator lights
Deactivation indicator lights
If one of the following indicator lights comes
on, this confirms that the corresponding system
has been switched off intentionally.
This may be accompanied by an audible signal
and a message being displayed.

On-board computer, some definitions
Range
(miles or km)
The number of miles or
kilometres which can be covered
with the fuel remaining in the
tank. Related to the average fuel
consumption over the last few
miles or kilometres travelled.
This value may vary following a change in
the style of driving or the terrain, resulting
in a significant change in the current fuel
consumption.
When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km),
dashes are displayed. After filling with at least
5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is
displayed if it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
If dashes are displayed continuously while
driving in place of the digits, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l
Calculated over the last few
seconds.
This function is only displayed from
20

mph (30 km/h).
Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated since the last time the
trip was reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
Calculated since the last time the
trip was reset.
Distance travelled
(miles or km)
Calculated since the last time the
trip was reset.
Time counter Stop & Start
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop &
Start, a time counter calculates the
time spent in STOP mode during a
j o u r n ey.
It resets to zero every time the
ignition is switched on.

Electronic engine immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip which has
a special code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a few minutes
after the ignition is switched off, and prevents
the engine being started by anyone who does
not have the key.
or In the event of a fault, you are
informed by the illumination of this
warning light, an audible signal and
a message in the screen.
In this case, your vehicle will not start; contact
a
CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.
Keep safely, away from your vehicle, the
label attached to the keys given to you on

Ignition on position
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric
equipment or portable devices to be charged.
Once the state of charge of the battery drops
to the reserve level, the system switches to
energy economy mode: the power supply is
cut off automatically to preserve the remaining
battery charge.
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the key
or the remote control, which would weigh
down on its blade in the ignition switch
and could cause a malfunction.
It could adversely affect the deployment of
the front airbag.

the engine at idle to warm up but move
off straight away and drive at moderate
speed.
Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion engines
emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon
monoxide. There is a risk of poisoning and
death!
In severe wintry conditions (temperature
below -23°C), the engine should be left at
idle for four minutes before moving off to
ensure the correct operation and life of the
mechanical parts of your vehicle, engine
and gearbox.
