DRIVING SAFELY

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 effi -
ciency indicator invites you to change 
up; it is displayed in the instrument panel, 
follow its instructions.  
   
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.  
 
 
 
Maintain a safe distance between vehi-
cles, use engine braking rather than the 
brake pedal, and press the accelerator 
progressively. These practices contrib-
ute towards a reduction in fuel consump-
tion 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
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 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 connecting 
your multimedia devices (fi lm,  music, 
video game...), you will contribute to-
wards limiting the consumption of elec-
trical energy, and so of fuel. 
  Disconnect your portable devices be-
fore leaving the vehicle.

FITTINGS
   
To avoid any risk of jamming of 
the pedals: 
   
 
-   only use mats which are 
suited to the fi xings  already 
present in the vehicle; these 
fi xings must be used, 
   
-  never fi t one mat on top of 
another.  
  The use of mats not approved 
by CITROËN may interfere with 
access to the pedals and hinder 
the operation of the cruise control/
speed limiter.  
 
MATS
 
Removable carpet protection. 
 
 
Refitting 
 
To refi t the mat on the driver's side: 
   
 
 ) 
  position the mat correctly, 
   
 ) 
 refi t the fi xings by pressing, 
   
 ) 
  check that the mat is secured cor-
rectly.  
Fitting 
 
When fi tting the mat for the fi rst  time, 
on the driver's side use only the fi xings 
provided in the wallet attached. 
  The other mats are simply placed on 
the carpet.  
Removal 
 
To remove the mat on the driver's side: 
   
 
 ) 
 
move the seat as far back as possible, 
 
 
 ) 
 unclip the fi xings, 
   
 ) 
  remove the mat.  
 
TICKET HOLDER
 
 
It is located at the top of the dashboard 
central panel. 
  It can be used to hold toll or parking 
tickets.

DRIVING
CRUISE CONTROL
  System which automatically maintains 
the speed of the vehicle at the value 
programmed by the driver, without any 
action on the accelerator pedal. 
  The cruise control is  switched on 
 
manually: it requires a minimum vehicle 
speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the en-
gaging of at least 4th gear. 
  The controls of this system are grouped 
together on control stalk  A 
.   The programmed information is grouped 
together in the instrument panel screen. 
Steering mounted controls   
Displays in the instrument panel 
 
The cruise control cannot, in any 
circumstances, replace the need 
to respect speed limits, nor can 
it replace the need for vigilance 
and responsibility on the part of 
the driver.     The cruise control is  switched off 
 manu-
ally 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 ac-
celerator pedal. 
  To return to the programmed speed, 
simply release the accelerator pedal. 
  Switching off the ignition cancels any 
programmed speed value.

DRIVING
  When the cruise control is 
switched on, be careful if you 
maintain the pressure on one of 
the programmed speed chang-
ing buttons: this may result in a 
very rapid change in the speed 
of your vehicle. 
  Do not use the cruise control on 
slippery roads or in heavy traffi c. 
  On a steep 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: 
   
 
-   ensure that the mat is posi-
tioned correctly, 
   
-  never fi t one mat on top of 
another.  
 
Programming 
 
 
 
 ) 
  Turn dial  1 
 to the  "CRUISE" 
 po-
sition: the cruise control mode is 
selected but is not switched on 
(PAUSE). 
   
Exceeding the programmed speed
 
Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the programmed 
speed results in fl ashing of this speed in the screen. 
  Return to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or 
unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically can-
cels the fl ashing of the speed.  
 
 
Return to normal driving
 
 
 
 ) 
  Turn dial  1 
 to the  "0" 
 position: the cruise control mode is 
deselected. The display returns to the distance recorder.  
 
 
 
Operating fault 
 
In the event of a cruise control malfunc-
tion, the speed is cleared resulting in 
fl ashing of the dashes. 
  Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer 
or a qualifi ed workshop. 
   
 ) 
 Set the programmed speed by 
accelerating to the required 
speed, then press button  2 
 or  3 
 
(e.g.:  70 mph (110 km/h)).  
   
 
 ) 
  Switch off the cruise control by pressing button  4 
: this is 
confi rmed in the screen (PAUSE). 
   
 ) 
  Switch the cruise control back on by pressing button  4 
 
again.  
 
    You can then change the programmed speed using buttons  2 
 
and  3 
: 
   
 
-   by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press, 
   
-   by + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press, 
   
-   in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.
