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.
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.
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).

Warning and indicator
lamps
Displayed as symbols, the warning and indicator
lamps inform the driver of the occurrence of a
malfunction (warning lamps) or of the operating
status of a system (operation or deactivation
indicator lamps). Certain lamps light up in two
ways (fixed or flashing) and/or in several colours.
Associated warnings
The illumination of a lamp may be accompanied
by an audible signal and/or a message displayed
in a screen.
Relating the type of alert to the operating status
of the vehicle allows you to determine whether
the situation is normal or whether a fault has
occurred: refer to the description of each lamp
for further information.
When the ignition is switched on
Certain red or orange warning lamps come on
for a few seconds when the ignition is switched
on. These warning lamps should go off as soon
as the engine is started.
For more information on a system or a function,
refer to the corresponding section.
Persistent warning lamp
If a red or orange warning lamp comes on, there
may be fault which needs further investigation.

63
Driving
6The sensors do not systematically detect
obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs)
or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind
spots may not be detected or may no longer
be detected during the manoeuvre.
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
Maintenance
Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and
the field of vision of the cameras regularly.
When washing your vehicle at high pressure,
direct the spray from at least 30
cm away
from the radar, sensors and cameras.
Mats/Pedal trims
The use of mats or pedal trims not
approved by CITROËN may interfere with
the operation of the speed limiter or cruise
control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
–

Ensure that the mat is secured correctly
.
–

Never fit one mat on top of another
.
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed displayed
on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are
those for the country you are driving in.
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is
stationary, set the display to the required
units of speed so that it complies with what is
authorised locally.
In case of doubt, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Speed limiter
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
This system prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by the
driver (speed setting).
The speed limiter is switched on manually.
The minimum speed setting is 19 mph (30
km/h).
The speed setting remains in the system
memory when the ignition is switched off.

Switching on/Pausing
► Turn thumbwheel 1 to the "LIMIT" position
to select speed limiter mode; the function is
paused.
►

If the speed limit setting is suitable (most
recent speed setting programmed in the system),
press button

4-II to switch the speed limiter on.

64
Driving
► Pressing 4-II again temporarily pauses the
function (pause).
Adjusting the limit speed setting
You do not have to switch the speed limiter on in
order to set the speed.
To modify the limit speed setting based on the
vehicle’s current speed:
►

For steps of +/- 1
mph (1 km/h), briefly
press
2-SET- or 3-SET+ repeatedly.
►

For steps of +/- 5
mph (5 km/h), press and
hold
2-SET- or 3-SET+.
Temporarily exceeding the
speed setting
► Fully depress the accelerator pedal.
The speed limiter is temporarily deactivated and
the displayed speed setting flashes.
►

Release the accelerator pedal to return to
below the speed setting.
When exceeding the speed is not due to the
driver's action (e.g.

in case of a steep slope), an
audible signal is triggered immediately.
On a steep descent or in the event of
sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the speed setting.
If necessary, apply the brakes to control your
vehicle’s speed.
When the vehicle speed returns to the speed
setting level, the speed limiter operates again:
the speed setting display becomes fixed again.
Switching off
► Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the "OFF" position:
speed limiter information is no longer displayed.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, dashes are
displayed flashing and then fixed instead of the
speed setting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Cruise control - Specific
recommendations
The cruise control function does not
guarantee compliance with the maximum
authorised speed and the safety distance
between vehicles, the driver remains
responsible for their driving.
In the interest of public safety, only use cruise
control if the traffic conditions enable vehicles
to drive at a steady speed and maintain an
adequate safety distance.
Remain vigilant while cruise control is
activated. If you press and hold one of the
speed setting modification buttons, your
vehicle may change speed very abruptly.
When descending a steep hill , the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the set speed. Brake if
necessary to control the vehicle speed.
On steep climbs or when towing, the set
speed may not be reached or maintained.
Exceeding the programmed speed
setting
You can temporarily exceed the speed
setting by pressing the accelerator pedal (the
programmed speed flashes).
To return to the speed setting, release the
accelerator pedal (when the set speed is
reached again, the displayed speed stops
flashing).
Operating limits
Never use the system in the following
situations:
–

In an urban area with the risk of
pedestrians crossing the road.
–


In heavy traffic (except versions with the
Stop & Go function).
–


On winding or steep roads.
–


On slippery or flooded roads.
–


In poor weather conditions.
–


In the event of restricted visibility for the
driver

.
–

Driving on a speed circuit.
–


Driving on a rolling road.

6– When using a ‘space-saver’ type spare
wheel.
–

When using snow chains, non-slip covers
or studded tyres.
Cruise control
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids and the
Specific recommendations on cruise
control.
This system automatically maintains the vehicle’s speed at the value programmed
by the driver (speed setting), without the use of
the accelerator pedal.
Cruise control is switched on manually.
It requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40

km/h).
With a manual gearbox, fourth gear must be
engaged.
With an automatic gearbox, mode

D
or second
gear or higher in mode

M
must be engaged.
Cruise control remains active after
changing gear on engines fitted with a
manual gearbox and the Stop & Start
function.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
speed setting.

Cruise control can also be paused
temporarily:
–

by pressing the brake pedal.
–


automatically
, if the electronic stability
control (ESC) system is triggered.
Changing the cruise speed
setting
The cruise control must be active.
To change the cruise speed setting, based on
the vehicle’s current speed:
►

For steps of +/- 1
mph (1 km/h), briefly
press
2-SET- or 3-SET+ repeatedly.
►

For steps of +/- 5
mph (5 km/h), press and
hold
2-SET- or 3-SET+.
Pressing and holding 2-SET - or 3-SET+
results in a rapid change in the speed of
the vehicle.
As a precaution, we recommend setting a cruise speed fairly close to the current
speed of your vehicle, to avoid any sudden
acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle.
Switching off
► Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the "OFF" position:
the cruise control information disappears from
the screen.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, dashes are
displayed flashing and then fixed instead of the
speed setting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Rear parking sensors
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .


This system detects and signals the proximity of
obstacles (e.g.
pedestrian, vehicle, tree, gate)
entering the field of detection of sensors located
in the bumper.
Due to blind spots, obstacles of certain types
(posts, roadworks cones, etc.) which were
detected initially won't be any longer by the end
of the operation.
Audible assistance

The system signals the presence of obstacles
within the sensors’ detection zone.
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than about thirty
centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
