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 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.

The gear shift indicator invites you to change up: as soon as the
indication to change up is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it
straight away.
With an electronic or automatic gearbox, this indicator appears only in
manual mode.



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.


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 passenger, 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.
Disconnect your portable devices before leaving the vehicle.

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.

Starting using the key
Stopping



)
Immobilise the vehicle.

)
Put the gear lever into neutral (vehicles
fitted with a manual gearbox), or in
position P
(vehicles fitted with a CVT
gearbox).

)
While pressing the key, turn it to
position 1 (LOCK)
.

Stop & Start (Auto Stop & Go) function


Operation


Going into engine STOP mode

The "AS &G"
warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel or the instrument
panel screen and the engine goes into
standby after a few seconds:


- with a manual gearbox
, with the vehicle
stationary and your foot on the brake, when
you put the gear lever into neutral and
release the clutch pedal.


Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key or the START/STOP
button.
When the engine is stopped
automatically, the operation of certain
vehicle systems, such as for example,
braking, power steering... are modified.
Ta k e c a r e
.


Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

- the bonnet is open,

- the vehicle has not exceeded 3 mph
(5 km/h) since the last engine start,

- the vehicle has restarted less than
10 seconds ago,

- the engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.

- the "AS &G"
warning lamp is
flashing in the instrument panel.

This operation is per fectly normal.


The Stop & Start (Auto Stop & Go) function puts the engine temporarily into standby during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...).
The engine restarts automatically as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start (Auto Stop & Go) function reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.

148
Safety
Group of supplementary systems which help
you to obtain optimum braking in complete
safety in emergency situations:


- anti-lock braking system (ABS),

- electronic brake force distribution (EBFD).























Braking assistance systems


Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking,
in particular on poor or slippery sur faces.

Activation

The anti-lock braking system is active if the
vehicle speed is higher than 6 mph (10 km/h).
It is deactivated when the vehicle speed falls
below 3 mph (5 km/h).
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk of
wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself
felt by slight vibration of the brake pedal.

Operating fault

When the vehicle is stationary

If this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by
the indication on the instrument panel screen, it
indicates a malfunction of the anti-lock braking
system which could result in a loss of control of
the vehicle when braking.
The vehicle retains normal braking.
Drive carefully at moderate speed and contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.
When braking in an emergency, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure. The warning lamp comes on for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched on
(ON position). If it does not switch off or
does not come on, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Checks
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to have
the condition of the brakes checked,
even between vehicle ser vices.















Brake pads

For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.


Brake disc wear




















Parking brake


If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must be
checked, even between two ser vices.















Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
units as important as those in the
braking system, CITROËN selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness,
or in wintry conditions, ice can form
on the brake discs and pads: braking
efficiency may be reduced. Make light
brake applications to dry and defrost
the brakes.
Checking this system must be done by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.

Petrol weights and towed loads (kg)


The values for maximum towed weights type
approved according to the sales zone (see the
tables on the following pages).
The exact values are given in your vehicle's
registration document as well as on the
manufacturer's plate.
They are also mentioned in sales brochures.
For more details, contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
The kerb weight is equal to the unladen
weight + driver (75 kg).
The GTW and towed load values indicated are
valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres;
the towed load mentioned must be reduced
by 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of
altitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed
60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation
in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a
reduction in the per formance of the vehicle to
protect the engine; if the ambient temperature
is above 37 °C, limit the towed load.

The weight of the braked trailer can be
increased, within the GTW limit, if the
GV W of the towing vehicle is reduced
by an equal amount. Please note that
towing using a lightly loaded towing
vehicle may have an adverse effect
on its road holding
.
