Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without waiting. During   acceleration   change   up   early.
With
  an   ETG   electronic   gearbox,   give   preference   to   automatic   (Easy)  
m

ode   and   avoid   pressing   the   accelerator   pedal   heavily   or   suddenly.
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
 ope

n.
Remember
  to   make   use   of   equipment   that   can   help   keep   the
 t

emperature   in   the   passenger   compartment   down   (sunroof   and   window
 b

linds...).
Switch
  off   the   air   conditioning,   unless   it   has   automatic   regulation,   as
 s

oon   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  
d

oes   not   require   their   use.
Avoid
  running   the   engine   before   moving   off,   particularly   in   winter;   your  
v

ehicle   will   warm   up   much   faster   while   driving.
As
  a   passenger,   if   you   avoid   connecting   your   multimedia   devices  
(

film,   music,   video   game...),   you   will   contribute   towards   limiting   the  
c

onsumption   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.
The
 
gear
 
shift
 
indicator
 
invites
 
you
 
to
 
engage
 
the
 
most
 
suitable
 
gear:
 
a

s
 
soon
 
as
 
the
 
indication
 
is
 
displayed
 
in
 
the
 
instrument
 
panel,
 
follow
 
it
 
s

traight
 
away.
For
 
vehicles
 
fitted
 
with
 
an
 
ETG
 
electronic
 
gearbox,
 
this
 
indicator
 
a

ppears
 
only
 
in
 
manual
 
mode.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather t han   the   brake   pedal,   and   press   the   accelerator   progressively.   These  
p

ractices   contribute   towards   a   reduction   in   fuel   consumption   and   CO
2
emissions
 
and
 
also
 
helps
 
reduce
 
the
 
background
 
traffic
 
noise.

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
  bars,   roof   rack...).   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,  
p

assenger   compartment   filter...)   and   observe   the   schedule   of  
o

perations   recommended   in   the   maintenance   and   warranty   guide.
When
  refuelling,   do   not   continue   after   the   third   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.

Recommendations for use
If the interior temperature remains very high after a prolonged period parked in the sun, first ventilate   the   passenger   compartment   for   a   few   minutes.
For
  an   even   air   distribution,   make   sure   that   you   do   not   block   the   outside   air   inlet   grille,   the  
v

ents,   the   air   passages   and   the   air   outlets   to   the   footwells.
Ensure
  that   the   passenger   compartment   filter,   located   behind   the   glove   box   in   the   heater  
u

nit,   is   in   good   condition.   Have   the   filter   elements   replaced   regularly.   If   you   drive   in   dusty  
c

onditions,   change   them   twice   as   often.
Operate
  the   air   conditioning   system   for   5   to   10   minutes,   once   or   twice   a   month,   to   keep   it   in  
p

er fect   working   order.
In
  order   to   ensure   that   your   air   conditioning   system   continues   to   operate   correctly,   you   are  
a

dvised   to   have   it   checked   regularly.
If
  the   system   does   not   produce   cold   air,   do   not   use   it   and   contact   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w
orkshop.
The
  air   conditioning   system   does   not   contain   chlorine   and   does   not   present   any   danger   to  
t

he   ozone   layer.
The
  condensation   created   by   the   air   conditioning   results   in   a   flow   of   water   under   the   vehicle  
w

hen   stationary   which   is   per fectly   normal.
