Familiarisation
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.

Monitoring
Service indicator
System which informs the driver when the
next ser vice is due in accordance with the
manufacturer's ser vicing schedule.
The point at which the next ser vice is due is
calculated from the last ser vice indicator zero
reset.
It is determined by two parameters:
- the distance travelled (in miles (km)),
- the time elapsed since the last ser vice
(in months).
The distance remaining to be travelled may be
weighted by the time factor, depending on the
use made of the vehicle.
Example:
the screen indicates that 7300 miles
(kilometres) remain before the next service
is due.
Service overdue
Example:
the screen indicates that the ser vice
is overdue. This ser vice must be carried out by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Operation
The symbol "--
"
remains displayed until
the first ser vice of a new vehicle has
been carried out. Each time the ignition is switched on, the
"ROUTINE MAINTENANCE REQUIRED"
symbol is displayed for a few seconds to indicate
that the ser vice must be carried out without delay. When the ignition is switched on, you must press
the INFO
button several times in succession
until the ser vice 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.

Resetting the service indicator
to zero
After a certain distance and a certain
time, the display of "---
"
is reset

the time remaining before the next
ser vice is due.
Your CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
carries out this operation after each ser vice.
If you have carried out your vehicle's ser vice
yourself, the zero reset procedure is the
following:
)
switch off the ignition,
)
press the INFO
button several times in
succession until the ser vice indicator is
displayed,
)
press and hold the INFO
button for a few
seconds until the spanner flashes
,

button while the spanner
is flashing to change the display "---
"
to
"CLEAR"
then the time remaining before
the next service is due is displayed.

Monitoring
When the engine is
running, this indicates the
temperature of the coolant.
Range
When the engine is
running
, this indicates
the distance which can
still be travelled with the
fuel remaining in the tank
based 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 critical
position 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 the
engine.
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 before
topping up the level. The cooling system
is pressurised.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the
pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap and top up the level,
if necessary.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
When you disconnect the battery,
the previous fuel consumption data
is lost and the value displayed will be
different from that displayed before the
battery was disconnected. The distance
displayed must be considered an
approximate indication.
