C3_en_Chap00c_eco-conduite_ed01-2014
Eco-drivingEco-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 and change up without waiting. during acceleration change up early.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, give preference to automatic 
mode and avoid pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
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 helps 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. The gear shift indicator invites you 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.
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 (sunroof and window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic regulation, 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.
Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps 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 p
assenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices 
(film, music, video game...), you will contribute towards limiting the 
consumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.
dis
connect your portable devices before leaving the vehicle.

 rogrammed speed value.
The cruise control cannot, in any circumstances, 
replace the need to respect speed limits, nor can it 
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Cruise control
The cruise control is switched on  manually: it 
requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph 
(40 km/h), as well as the engagement of:
-
 
f
 ourth gear on a manual gearbox,
-
 
s
 econd gear on a or automatic or electronic 
gearbox, in sequential mode,
-
  position  A on an electronic gearbox or 
position D on an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off  manually 
or by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on 
triggering of the ESP system for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed 
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply 
release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any 
programmed speed value.

Programming
F Turn thumb wheel 1 to the "CRUISE" 
position: the cruise control mode 
is selected but is not switched 
on
 
(P a
U
 S E).
F
 
S
 et the programmed speed by 
accelerating to the required speed,  
then press button 2 or 3 (e.g.: 70 mph 
(110 km/h)).
Exceeding the programmed speed
Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the programmed speed 
results in flashing of this speed in the screen.
Return to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or 
unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the 
flashing of the speed.
Leaving cruise control mode
F Turn thumb wheel 1 to the "0"  position: the cruise control mode is 
deselected. The display returns to the distance recorder.
F
 
S
 witch off the cruise control by pressing button 4
: the screen 
confirms that it has been switched off (PAUSE).
F  
S
 witch the cruise control back on by pressing button 4 again.
Operating fault
In the event of a cruise control malfunction, 
the speed is cleared resulting in flashing of the 
dashes. Have it checked by a CITR
oËn
 dealer 
or a qualified workshop.
When the cruise control is switched on, 
be careful if you maintain the pressure 
on one of the programmed speed 
changing buttons: this may result in a 
very rapid change in the speed of your 
vehicle.
do n
ot use the cruise control on 
slippery roads or in heavy traffic.
on a s
teep descent, the cruise control 
will not be able to prevent the vehicle 
from exceeding the programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the 
pedals:
-
 
e
 nsure that the mat is secured 
c o r r e c t l y,
-
 
n
 ever fit one mat on top of another.
You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 2 and 3
:
-
 
b
y + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press,
-
 
b
y + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press,
-
 
i
n steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.
