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: Â
a
s  soon  as  the  indication  is  displayed  in  the  instrument  panel,  follow  it Â
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 Â
r
equire  their  use.
Avoid
 running  the  engine  before  moving  off,  particularly  in  winter;  your Â
v
ehicle  will  warm  up  much  faster  while  driving.
As
 a  passenger,  if  you  avoid  connecting  your  multimedia  devices Â
(
film,  music,  video  game...),  you  will  contribute  towards  limiting  the Â
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
Â
an
Â
electronic
Â
gearbox,
Â
do
Â
not
Â
press
Â
the
Â
accelerator
Â
pedal
Â
heavily
Â
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 Â
p
ractices  contribute  towards  a  reduction  in  fuel  consumption  and  CO
2
emissions
Â
and
Â
also
Â
help
Â
reduce
Â
the
Â
background
Â
traffic
Â
noise.
If
Â
your
Â
vehicle
Â
has
Â
cruise
Â
control,
Â
make
Â
use
Â
of
Â
the
Â
system
Â
at
Â
speeds
Â
a
bove
Â
25
Â

Â
(40
Â
km/h)
Â
when
Â
the
Â
traffic
Â
is
Â
flowing

well.

A few driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations at all times and remain  vigilant  whatever  the  traffic  conditions.
Pay
 close  attention  to  the  traffic  and  keep  your Â
h
ands  on  the  wheel  so  that  you  are  ready  to Â
r
eact  at  any  time  to  any  eventuality.
On
 a  long  journey,  a  break  every  two  hours  is Â
s
trongly
 re
commended.
In
 difficult  weather,  drive  smoothly,  anticipate Â
t
he  need  to  brake  and  increase  the  distance Â
f
rom  other  vehicles.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded roads,  as  this  could  cause  serious  damage Â
t
o  the  engine  or  gearbox,  as  well  as  to  the Â
e
lectrical  systems  of  your  vehicle.If
 you  are  obliged  to  drive  through  water:
- Â
c
heck  that  the  depth  of  water  does  not Â
e
xceed  15  cm,  taking  account  of  waves Â
t
hat  might  be  generated  by  other  users,
- Â
d
eactivate  the  Stop  &  Start  system,
- Â
d
rive  as  slowly  as  possible  without Â
s
talling.  In  all  cases,  do  not  exceed  6  mph  (
10Â km/h),
-  d o  not  stop  and  do  not  switch  off  the Â
e
ngine.
On
 leaving  the  flooded  road,  as  soon  as Â
c
ircumstances  allow,  make  several  light  brake Â
a
pplications  to  dry  the  brake  discs  and  pads.
If
 in  doubt  on  the  state  of  your  vehicle,  contact Â
a
 CITROËN  dealer  or  a  qualified  workshop.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied  -  Risk  of  overheating  and Â
d
amage  to  the  braking  system!
Do
 not  park  or  run  the  engine  when Â
s
tationary  in  areas  where  inflammable Â
s
ubstances  and  materials  (dry  grass, Â
d
ead  leaves...)  might  come  into  contact Â
w
ith  the  hot  exhaust  system  -  Risk  of Â
f
ire!
Never
 leave  a  vehicle  unsupervised Â
w
ith  the  engine  running.  If  you  have Â
t
o  leave  your  vehicle  with  the  engine Â
r
unning,  apply  the  parking  brake Â
a
nd  put  the  gearbox  into  neutral  or Â
p
osition
N or P,
 depending  on  the  type Â

without
 pressing  the  accelerator  pedal,
 u
ntil  the  engine  starts.  Once  the  engine  is
 r
unning,  release  the  key.
In wintry conditions, the warning lamp can  stay  on  for  a  longer  period.  When Â
t
he  engine  is  hot,  the  warning  lamp Â
d
oes  not  come  on. In
 temperate  conditions,  do  not  leave Â
t
he  engine  at  idle  to  warm  up  but  move Â
o
ff  straight  away  and  drive  at  moderate Â
s
peed.
Never  leave  the  engine  running  in Â
a

v
entilation:
 in
ternal

In  very  severe  wintry  conditions Â
(
temperatures  below  -23°C),  to  ensure Â
t
he  correct  operation  and  durability  of Â
t
he  mechanical  components  of  your Â
v
ehicle,  engine  and  gearbox,  it  is Â
n
ecessary  to  leave  the  engine  running Â
f
or  4  minutes  before  moving  off.
If
 the  engine  does  not  start  straight Â
a
way,  switch  off  the  ignition.  Wait  a  few Â
m
oments  before  operating  the  starter Â
m
otor  again.  If  the  engine  does  not Â
