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.
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
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 regulation, as
soon as the desired temperature is attained.
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 foglamps when the level of light
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...), you will contribute towards limiting the
consumption 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.
The gear shift indicator invites you 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.
Drive smoothly
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 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.

Average fuel
consumption

Average speed

Distance travelled
(miles or km)
The distance which can still be travelled
with the fuel remaining in the tank (related to
the average fuel consumption over the last
few

miles (kilometres) travelled).
When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km),
dashes are displayed. After filling with at least
5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is
displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km). Calculated over the last few seconds.
Calculated since the last trip computer reset.
Calculated since the last trip computer reset. Calculated since the last trip computer reset.
Stop & Start time
counter
(minutes / seconds or hours /
m inutes)
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start, a time
counter calculates the time spent in STOP
mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the key.
This function is only displayed from
20

mph (30 km/h).
This value may vary following a change
in the style of driving or the relief,
resulting in a significant change in the
current fuel consumption.
If dashes are displayed continuously
while driving in place of the digits,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

"Hydractive III +" electronic suspension
The suspension automatically and instantly
adjusts to different driving styles and to
the profile of the road, providing the best
compromise between occupant comfort and
vehicle road holding.
The system alternates between soft and firm
suspension settings, maximising comfort at the
same time as constantly ensuring the highest
level of safety. It also automatically corrects
ride height, according to the vehicle load and
driving conditions.
In addition, the "Hydractive III +" system
allows you to choose between two modes of
suspension.
A change of suspension mode can be made
either when the vehicle is moving or when
stationary, by pressing button A.
Display in the instrument panel
The suspension mode selected is displayed in
the instrument panel screen.
Normal mode
This mode favours soft damping for
maximum comfort.
If the speed authorised for a
particular position is exceeded, the
vehicle reverts automatically to the
normal road position.
SPORT mode
This mode favours dynamic driving. T
he warning lamp on button A comes
on in addition to the message in the
instrument panel screen.
SPORT mode is retained when you

Practical information

Checking levels
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles with an electric oil
level gauge, or using the dipstick.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If you find that the level is above the A mark or
below the B mark, do not star t the engine.
-

I
f the level is above the MAX mark (risk
of damage to the engine), contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
-

I
f the level is below the MIN mark, you
must top up the engine oil.
Take care when working under the
bonnet, as certain areas of the engine
may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and
the cooling fan could start at any time
(even with the ignition off).
To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a level sur face
with the engine having been off for more than
30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two services (or oil changes). CITROËN
recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
Checking using the dipstick
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine"
section for the location of the dipstick in the
engine compartment of your vehicle.
