Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without waiting. During acceleration change up early.
The
gear efficiency indicator invites you engage the most suitable gear:
a
s soon as the indication is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it
s
traight away.
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
ope
n.
Remember
to make use of equipment that can help keep the
t
emperature in the passenger compartment down (sunroof and window
b
linds...).
To
save energy, do not set the air conditioning at too low a temperature.
As
soon as the desired temperature has been reached, limit the use of
t
he air conditioning, except if regulation is automatic.
Switch
off the demisting and defrosting controls as soon as you consider
p
ossible.
Switch
off the heated seat as soon as possible.
Switch
off the headlamps and foglamp when the level of light does not
r
equire their use.
Avoid
running the engine before moving off, particularly in winter; your
v
ehicle 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
c
onsumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect
your portable devices before leaving the vehicle.
Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
With
an
electronic
gearbox,
do
not
press
the
accelerator
pedal
heavily
o
r
s
uddenly.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather t han the brake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. These
p
ractices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and
CO2 emissions and also help reduce the background traffic noise.
I
f
your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds
a
bove 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well.

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines belo w:
F
T
o obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles
l
ocated at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well
a
s the air extractor located in the boot.
F
D
o not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation
o
f the air conditioning system.
F
O
perate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month
t
o keep it in per fect working order.
F
E
nsure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
e
lements replaced regularly.
W
e recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its
s
pecial active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the
o
ccupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic
s
ymptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
F
T
o ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
i
t checked regularly as recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.
F
I
f the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified
w
orkshop.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine, the i nterior t emperature i s v ery h igh, f irst
v
entilate the passenger compartment for
a
few moments.
Put
the air flow control at a setting high
e
nough to quickly change the air in the
p
assenger
c
ompartment.
The
air conditioning system does not
c
ontain chlorine and does not present
a
ny danger to the ozone layer.
The
condensation created by the air
c
onditioning results in a discharge
o
f water under the vehicle which is
p
er fectly normal.
When
towing
the
maximum
load
on
a
steep
gradient
in
high
temperatures,
switching
off
the
a
ir
conditioning
increases
the
available
engine
power
and
so
improves
the
towing
ability.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning s ystems only work when the engine is
r
unning.
To
maintain a comfortable temperature
i
n the passenger compartment, you can
t
emporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
s
ystem.
