ECO-DRIVING

Optimise the use of your
gearbox

With a manual gearbox, move off
gently, change up without waiting
and drive by changing up quite soon.
If your vehicle has the system, the
gear effi ciency indicator invites you to
change up; it is displayed in the instru-
ment panel, follow its instructions.

With an automatic or electronic gear-
box, stay in Drive "D"
or Auto "A"
, ac-
cording to the type of gearbox, without
pressing the accelerator pedal heavily
or suddenly.



Drive smoothly


Maintain a safe distance between ve-
hicles, 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
traffi c noise.

If your vehicle has cruise control, make
use of the system at speeds above
25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffi c is
fl owing 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 30 mph (50 km/h), close the win-
dows 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...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless
it has automatic digital regulation, as
soon as the desired temperature is at-
tained.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting
controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as
possible.

Switch off the headlamps and front fo-
glamps when the level of light does not
require their use.
Avoid running the engine before mov-
ing off, particularly in winter; your ve-
hicle will warm up much faster while
driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connect-
ing your multimedia devices (fi lm, mu-
sic, video game...), you will contribute
towards limiting the consumption of
electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices be-
fore leaving the vehicle.
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions.

Release
The electric parking brake releases
automatically and progressively

when you press the accelerator:


)
with a manual gearbox
(fi rst
gear or reverse gear engaged),
press down fully on the clutch
pedal then press on the accele-
rator pedal and move off.

)
with an automatic gearbox
, ac-
celerate with the selector in posi-
tion D
, M
or R
.
Full release of the parking brake is
confi rmed by:


- warning lamp P
in the
control lever A
going off,

- display of a message "parking
brake off" in the instrument panel
screen.
When stationary, with the engine
running, do not press the accelera-
tor pedal unnecessarily (particularly
when starting the engine, including
in neutral), as you may release the
parking brake.
Do not place any object (packet of
cigarettes, telephone...) between
the gear lever and the electric park-
ing brake control.
Activation / Deactivation of the
automatic functions
Depending on the country of sale,
automatic application when switch-
ing off the engine and automatic
release when moving off can be de-
activated. The activation / deactiva-
tion is done in the instrument panel
screen confi guration menu. Select
"Vehicle parameters / Comfort / Auto
parking brake".
Deactivation of these func-
tions is signalled by this
warning lamp in the instru-
ment panel.
With the automatic functions deac-
tivated, the parking brake must be
applied and released manually.
In some special circumstanc-
es, with the engine not run-
ning, (towing, icy conditions...) the
automatic parking brake can be
released manually, with the key in
the running position.
Manual operation

Manual application / release of the
parking brake is always possible.

Application
With the vehicle stationary, to apply the
parking brake whether the engine is
running or off, pull
on control lever A
.
The application of the parking brake
is confi rmed by:


- warning lamp P
in the con-
trol lever A
coming on,

- display of a message "parking
brake on" in the instrument panel
screen.
When the driver’s door is opened
with the engine running, a mes-
sage is displayed accompanied
by an audible signal if the parking
brake has not been applied.
-
this warning lamp in the in-
strument panel coming on,

- this warning lamp in the in-
strument panel going off,
If the confi guration menu does not
have the option to activate / deac-
tivate the automatic functions, this
can be done by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

DRIVING
HILL START ASSIST
System which keeps your vehicle
immobilised temporarily (approxi-
mately 2 seconds) when starting on
a gradient, the time to move your
foot from the brake pedal to the ac-
celerator pedal.
This function is only active when:


- the vehicle is completely station-
ary, with your foot on the brake
pedal,

- in certain conditions on a gradient,

- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist function cannot
be deactivated.

Operation


On an ascending gradient, with
the vehicle stationary, the vehicle
is held for a brief moment when
you release the brake pedal:



- provided you are in fi rst gear or
neutral on a manual gearbox,

- provided you are in D
or M
on an
automatic gearbox.
On a descending gradient, with
the vehicle stationary and reverse
gear engaged, the vehicle is held
for a brief moment when you re-
lease the brake pedal.



Do not exit the vehicle while
it is being held in the hill start
assist phase.
If you need to leave the vehicle with
the engine running, apply the park-
ing brake manually and ensure that
the parking brake warning lamp (in
the instrument panel) is on fi xed
(not fl ashing).
