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  of f  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.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a  safe  distance  between  vehicles,  use  engine  braking
 rather  than  the  brake  pedal,  and  press  the  accel -
erator
 
progressively
.  
These
 
practices
 
contribute
 
towards
 
a
 
reduction

  in   fuel   consumption   and   CO
2 emissions and also helps
 
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  of f,  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
 
(sun
-
roof
  and   window   blinds...).
Switch
 
of
f  
the
 
air
 
conditioning,
 
unless
 
it
 
has
 
automatic
 
regu
-
lation,
  as   soon   as   the   desired   temperature   is   attained.
Switch
 
of
f  
the
 
demisting
 
and
 
defrosting
 
controls,
 
if
 
not
 
au
-
tomatic.
Switch
  off   the   heated   seat   as   soon   as   possible.
Switch
 
of
f  
the
 
headlamps
 
and
 
front
 
foglamps
 
when
 
the
 
level of

  light   does   not   require   their   use.
Avoid
 
running
 
the
 
engine
 
before
 
moving
 
of
f,  
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
 
to
-
wards
 
limiting
 
the
 
consumption
 
of
 
electrical
 
energy
,  
and
 
so
 
of

  fuel.
Disconnect
 
your
 
portable
 
devices
 
before
 
leaving
 
the
 
ve
-
hicle.
ECO-DRIVING
The gear  shift  indicator  invites  you  engage  the  most  suit -
able  gear:  as  soon  as  the  indication  is  displayed  in  the  in -
strument
  panel,   follow   it   straight   away.
For
 
vehicles
 
fitted
 
with
 
an
 
electronic
 
or
 
automatic
 
gearbox,
 
this

  indicator   appears   only   in   manual   mode.

11 
ECO-DRIVING
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
 
resis
-
tance
 
(roof
 
bars,
 
roof
 
rack,
 
bicycle
 
carrier
,  
trailer
...).  
Use
 
a
 
roof

  box   in   preference.
Remove
  roof   bars   and   roof   racks   after   use.
At
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
winter
,  
remove
 
snow
 
tyres
 
and
 
refit
 
your
 
sum
-
mer
  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:
-
 
before
  a   long   journey,
-
 
at
  each   change   of   season,
-
 
after
  a   long   period   out   of   use.
Don't
 
forget
 
the
 
spare
 
wheel
 
and
 
the
 
tyres
 
on
 
any
 
trailer
 
or
 
caravan.
Have

 
your
 
vehicle
 
serviced
 
regularly
 
(engine
 
oil,
 
oil
 
filter
,
 air

 
filter
,  
passenger
 
compartment
 
filter
...)  
and
 
observe
 
the schedule

 
of
 
operations
 
recommended
 
in
 
the
 
manufacturer's service

  schedule.
With
 
a
 
BlueHDi
 
Diesel
 
engine,
 
if
 
the
 
SCR
 
system
 
is
 
faulty
 
your

 
vehicle
 
becomes
 
polluting;
 
go
 
to
 
a
 
CITROËN
 
dealer
 
or
 
a

 
qualified
 
workshop
 
without
 
delay
 
to
 
have
 
the
 
emissions
 
of
 
nitrous

  oxides   brought   back   to   the   legal   level.
When
 
refuellin
g,  
do
 
not
 
continue
 
after
 
the
 
third
 
cut-of
f  
of
 
the
 
nozzle

  to   avoid   any   overflow.
At
 
the
 
wheel
 
of
 
your
 
new
 
vehicle,
 
it
 
is
 
only
 
after
 
the
 
first
