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.
Eco-driving

7
Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place
the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot,
as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer, etc.). Preferably, use a
roof box.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and
refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold,
referring to the label in the door aperture,
driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use.
Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan. Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, etc.) and
obser ve the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes
polluting. Visit a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop as soon as possible to
bring your vehicle's nitrogen oxides emissions
back in line with the regulations.
When refuelling, do not continue after the 3
rd
cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 1,900 miles (3,000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a consistent average.

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.
