ECO-DRIVING

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 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 instrument panel, follow
its instructions.


With an automatic or electronic gearbox,
stay in Drive "D"
or Auto "A"
, according
to the type of gearbox, without 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 acce-
lerator 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
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 off the air conditioning, unless
it has automatic digital 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 mo-
ving off, particularly in winter; your
vehicle will warm up much faster while
driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting
your multimedia devices (fi lm, 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.

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 accel-
erator 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 "hand-
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 nat place any object (packet of
cigarettes, telephone...) between the
gear lever and the electric parking
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
handbrake".
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 circumstances,
with the engine not running,
(towing, icy conditions...) the au-
tomatic parking brake can be re-
leased 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
control lever A
coming on,

- display of a message "hand-
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
instrument panel going off,
If the confi guration menu does not
have the option to activate/deacti-
vate the automatic functions, this
can be done by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

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 stationary,
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 release 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).
