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.

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.

Tyre under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.Under-inflation alert
The under-inflation detection system does
not replace the need for vigilance on the
part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres worsens
road-holding, lengthens braking distances,
causes premature wear of the tyres,
particularly in adverse conditions (heavy
loads, high speeds, long journeys). Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done when the tyres
are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or
after a journey of less than 6 miles (10 km)
at moderate speeds).
Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures
shown on the label. This warning is indicated by
continuous illumination of the light,
an audible signal and a message
displayed on the screen.
F
R
educe speed immediately, avoid
excessive steering movements and sudden
braking.
F
S
top as soon as it is safe to do so.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on a simple visual check.
F I f you have a compressor (such as the
one in the temporary puncture repair kit),
check the pressures of the four tyres when
cold. If it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
or
F
I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).
The warning remains active until the
system is reinitialised.

the engine speed allows.
It is not necessary to release the accelerator
when changing gear.
When braking or slowing down, the gearbox
changes down automatically to allow the
vehicle to accelerate in the correct gear.
Under full acceleration, unless the engine is
close to its maximum speed, gear upshift will
only take place when the driver operates the
gear selector.
Reverse gear
To engage reverse gear, the vehicle must be
immobilised with your foot on the brake pedal.

Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could start at
any time (even with the ignition off).
Checking levels
Engine oil level
To ensure the accuracy of the reading, your
vehicle must be on a level sur face, with the
engine off for at least 30 minutes.
It is normal to top-up the oil level between
services (or oil changes).
CITROËN
recommends that you check the level, and
top up if necessary, every 3,500 miles
(5,000 km). This level is checked using the
dipstick located under the bonnet. To
find this gauge, see the description
of the engine compartment.
Checking using the dipstick
For more information about , and in particular
the dipstick location, refer to the corresponding
section.
