Eco- driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices
t hat allow the motorist to optimise their fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions.
Optimise the use of your
gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently
a nd change up without waiting. When
accelerating, change up early.
With an automatic gearbox, give preference
to automatic mode and avoid pressing the
accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
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 automatic gearbox,
this indicator appears only in manual mode.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
u se 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 reduce the
b
ackground traffic noise.
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.
Consider using equipment that can help
keep the temperature in the passenger
compartment down (sunroof blind 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 headlamps and front 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.
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.
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.
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. 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.

Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
These systems improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contribute towards improved control in
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The EBFD system manages the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by
a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and
an increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
This system (also known as Traction Control)
optimises traction in order to limit wheel slip by
acting on the brakes of the driving wheels and
on the engine. It also improves the directional
stability of the vehicle on acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
f ollowed by the vehicle and that required by
the driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
Intelligent traction control
( " Snow motion ")
Depending on version, your vehicle has
a
system to help driving on snow: intelligent
traction control.
This system detects situations of poor sur face
grip that could make it difficult to move off
or make progress on deep fresh snow or
compacted snow.
In these situations, the intelligent traction
control limits the amount of wheel spin to
provide the best traction and trajectory control
for your vehicle.
The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on sur faces offering low
levels of grip.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
When lit up continuously, this
warning lamp indicates a fault with
the ABS.
If this warning lamp comes on, in
conjunction with the STOP and ABS
warning lamps, an audible signal
and a
message, it means that the
electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD) is defective.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at moderate speed.
You must stop the vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.
In both cases, have the system checked by
a

CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
When operating under normal conditions,
the ABS may cause the brake pedal to
vibrate slightly.
