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. If your vehicle
has the system, the gear shift indicator
invites you to change up; it is displayed
in the instrument panel, follow its instru-
ctions.
With an automatic or electronic gear-
box, stay in Drive "D"
or Auto "A"
, ac-
cording to the type of gearbox, without
pressing the accelerator pedal heavily
or suddenly.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between ve-
hicles, use engine braking rather than
the brake pedal, and press the accel-
erator progressively. These practices
contribute towards a reduction in fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions and
also helps reduce the background traffi c
noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make
use of the system at speeds above
25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffi c is
fl owing 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 leave the air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment
that can help keep the temperature
in the passenger compartment down
(sun roof and window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless
it has automatic digital regulation, as
soon as the desired temperature is at-
tained.
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 fo-
glamps 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.
As a passenger, if you avoid connect-
ing your multimedia devices (fi lm, mu-
sic, video game...), you will contribute
towards limiting the consumption of
electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices be-
fore leaving the vehicle.

MONITORING
Warning lamps
When the engine is running or the ve-
hicle is being driven, the illumination of
one of the following warning lamps in-
dicates 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 by reading the associated message in the multifunction screen.
If you encounter any problems, do not hesitate to contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
STOP
fi xed, alone
or associated
with another
warning lamp,
accompanied
by an audible
signal and a
message on
the screen. Illumination of the warning
lamp is associated with a
serious braking system or
engine coolant temperature
problem. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so as the engine
may cut out when driving.
Park, switch off the ignition and call a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Service
temporarily. Minor problems have
occurred for which there is
no specifi c warning lamp. Identify the problem by reading the message
shown in the screen, such as, for example:
- the engine oil level,
- the screenwash level,
- the remote control battery,
- saturation of the particle emission fi lter on
Diesel vehicles (see "Checks - § particle
emissions fi lter").
For any other faults, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

MONITORING
Maximum
coolant
temperature
fi xed red. The temperature of the
cooling system is too high. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait until the engine has cooled down before
topping up the level, if necessary.
If the problem persists, contact a CITROËN
dealer or qualifi ed workshop.
Engine oil
pressure
fi xed. There is a fault with the
engine lubrication system. You must stop as soon it is safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Battery
charge
fi xed. The battery charging circuit
has a fault (dirty or loose
terminals, slack or cut
alternator belt, ...). The warning lamp should go off when the engine
is started.
If it does not go off, contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
Low fuel level
fi xed. When it fi rst comes on there
remains approximately
5 litres of
fuel
in the tank. You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
This warning lamp will come on every time the
ignition is switched on, until a suffi cient addition
of fuel is made.
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres
(petrol) or 46 litres (Diesel); depending on
version: approximately 30 litres (petrol or Diesel).
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel
as this could damage the emission control and
injection systems.
