Eco- driving
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.
Adopt a smooth driving style
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 help to reduce 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 by 
opening the windows and air vents before 
using the air conditioning.
Above 31 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, etc.).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has 
automatic regulation, as soon as the desired 
temperature is attained. Switch off the lamps and foglamps when the 
ambient light level does not require their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off, 
particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up 
much faster while driving. Switch off the demisting and defrosting 
controls when not required, if they are not 
automatically controlled.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as 
possible.
As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your 
multimedia devices (film, music, video game, 
etc.), you will contribute towards limiting the 
consumption of electrical energy, and so of 
fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before 
leaving the vehicle.
The gear efficiency indicator invites you to 
engage the most suitable gear: as soon as the 
indication is displayed in the instrument panel, 
follow it straight away.
For vehicles fitted with an electronic or 
automatic gearbox, this indicator appears only 
in manual mode. Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices 
that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel 
consumption and CO
2 emissions.

Warning and indicator 
lamps
Displayed as symbols, visual indicators 
which inform the driver of the occurrence of a 
malfunction (warning lamps) or of the operation 
of a system (operation or deactivation indicator 
lamps). Certain lamps light up in two ways 
(fixed or flashing) and/or in several colours.
Associated warnings
The illumination of a lamp may be accompanied 
by an audible signal and/or a message 
displayed in a screen.
Relating the type of illumination to the 
operating status of the vehicle can determine 
whether the situation is normal or a fault has 
occurred: refer to the description of each lamp 
for further information.
When the ignition is switched on
Certain red or orange warning lamps come on 
for a few seconds when the ignition is switched 
on. These warning lamps should go off as soon 
as the engine is started.
Persistent warning lamp
When the engine is running or the vehicle is 
being driven, the illumination of a red or orange 
warning lamp indicates a fault that needs 
further investigation, using any associated 
message and the description of the warning 
lamp in the documentation.
Where a warning lamp remains lit
The references (1) , (2) and (3)  in the warning 
lamp description indicate whether you should 
contact a qualified professional in addition to 
the immediate recommended actions.
(1 ) : You must stop as soon as it is safe to 
do so and switch off the ignition.
(2): Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
(3) : Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.

Engine oil level indicator
(depending on version)
On versions fitted with an electric oil level 
indicator, the state of the engine oil level is 
displayed in the instrument panel for a few 
seconds, after the servicing information.
The level read will only be correct if the 
vehicle is on level ground and the engine 
has been off for more than 30 minutes.

In the event of a fault with the 
SCR emissions control system
A system that prevents engine starting is 
activated automatically from 685 miles 
(1,100 km) after confirmation of a fault with 
the SCR emissions control system.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as 
possible.
In the event of the detection of a fault
If it is a temporary fault, the alert 
disappears during the next journey, 
after self-diagnostic checks of the SCR 
emissions control system.
These warning lamps come on, accompanied 
by an audible signal and the display of the 
"Emissions fault" message.
The alert is triggered while driving as soon 
as the fault is detected for the first time, then
