Familiarisation
Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2emissions.
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 youto change up; it is displayed in the instrumentpanel, follow its instructions.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, stay in Drive "D"or Auto "A"
, according to the type of gearbox, without pressing theaccelerator 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 fuelconsumption and CO2 emissions and also helpsreduce 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.
Control the use of your
electrical equipment
Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it byopening 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 canhelp keep the temperature in the passenger compartment down (sunroof and windowblinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic digital regulation, as soon as thedesired temperature is attained. Switch off the demisting and defrostingcontrols, if not automatic. Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.
Switch off the headlamps and front foglampswhen the level of light does not require their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off,particularly in winter; your vehicle will warmup much faster while driving.
As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, videogame...), you will contribute towards limitingthe consumption of electrical energy, and soof fuel.
Disconnect your por table devices beforeleaving the vehicle.

The point at which the next ser vice is due is
calculated from the last service indicator zero
reset.
It is determined by two parameters:
- the distance travelled (in miles (km)),
- the time elapsed since the last service(in months).
The distance remaining to be travelled may be
wei
ghted by the time factor, depending on theuse made of the vehicle.
Exam
ple: the screen indicates that 7300 miles(kilometres) remain before the next ser vice is due.
Service overdue
Example:the screen indicates that the serviceis overdue. This ser vice must be carried out bya CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Operation
The symbol "--"remains displayed until the first service of a new vehicle has been carried out. Each time the i
gnition is switched on, the"ROUTINE MAINTENANCE REQUIRED"symbol is displayed for a few seconds toindicate that the service must be carried out
without delay. When the i
gnition is switched on, you must press
the INFO
button several times in successionuntil the service indicator is displayed. The
distance recorder display line indicates the
number of miles or kilometres remaining and
the time elapsed line indicates the number of
months remaining before the next ser vice is due.

Monitoring
When the engine is
running, this indicates the
temperature of the coolant.
Range
When the engine isrunning , this indicates
the distance which can still be travelled with thefuel remaining in the tankbased on the average
fuel consumption over the
last few miles/kilometres
travelled.
This value may vary following a change
in the style of driving or the relief,resulting in a large variation in the current fuel consumption.
If you only add a few litres, the value
displayed will be incorrect. Therefore,you must fill the tank whenever possible.
Coolant temperature
gauge
If the bar is close to the criticalposition located
on the right, the temperature is too high.
The symbol flashes when your engine is
overheating.
You must stop your vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.Wait a few minutes before switching off theengine.
When the range is less than 30 miles (50 km),
dashes are displayed.
Refuel as soon as possible. The display of the range is updated.
Wait for the engine to cool beforetopping up the level. The cooling system is pressurised.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap by two turns to allow thepressure to drop. When the pressure has dropped,remove the cap and top up the level, if necessary.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.
When you disconnect the battery, the previous fuel consumption data is lost and the value displayed will be different from that displayed before thebattery was disconnected. The distancedisplayed must be considered anapproximate indication.
