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.

A few definitions…
Range
(miles or km)
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Average fuel
consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
Distance travelled
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance which
can still be travelled with the fuel re-
maining in the tank in relation to the
average fuel consumption over the
last few miles (kilometres) travelled.
This value may vary following a
change in the style of driving or
the relief, resulting in a signifi cant
change in the current fuel con-
sumption.
When the range falls below 20 miles
(30 km), dashes are displayed. After
fi lling with at least 5 litres of fuel,
the range is recalculated and is dis-
played when it exceeds 60 miles
(100 km).
If dashes are displayed continu-
ously while driving in place of the
digits, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop. This function is only displayed from
20 mph (30 km/h). This is the average fuel consump-
tion during the last few seconds.
This is the average fuel consump-
tion since the last trip computer zero
reset.
This is the average speed calculat-
ed since the last trip computer zero
reset (ignition on). This indicates the distance travelled
since the last trip computer zero reset.
Stop & Start time
counter
(minutes/seconds or hours/minutes)
If your vehicle is fi tted with Stop &
Start, a time counter calculates the
time spent in STOP mode during a
journey.
It resets to zero every time the igni-
tion is switched on with the key.

mode.
)
Press control 7
, with
the engine running,
to demist the rear
screen and the door
mirrors. The indicator
lamp comes on.
Demisting is switched off automatically
to prevent an excessive consumption
of current and in relation to the ambient
temperature.
It may be stopped by pressing
control 7
again or when the engine
is switched off.
7. Rear demisting - defrosting
The heated rear screen operates
independently of the air conditioning
system.
8. Intake of exterior air/
Recirculation of interior air
This function enables you to isolate
the passenger compartment from
exterior fumes and odours.
- When starting with the engine
cold, the fl ow will reach its op-
timum level gradually to pre-
vent an excessive distribution
of cold air.
- When entering the vehicle af-
ter it has been parked for a
fairly long period, if the inte-
rior temperature is very differ-
ent from your comfort setting
there is no need to change
the temperature displayed
in order to quickly reach the
level of comfort required. The
system automatically uses its
maximum performance to cor-
rect the difference in tempera-
ture as quickly as possible.
- The water resulting from the
air conditioning condensation
is discharged via an open-
ing provided for this purpose;
therefore, a puddle of water
may form underneath the ve-
hicle when stationary.
- In all seasons, if the weather
is cool, the air conditioning
is useful as it removes the
humidity from the air and the
condensation. Avoid driving
for prolonged periods with the
air conditioning switched off.
However, demisting resumes when
the engine is switched on again.
Switch off the rear screen and door
mirrors demisting when you consider
this necessary as low current con-
sumption reduces fuel consumption.
)
Press control 8
several
times to set the air in-
take mode, the indica-
tor lamp comes on.
It must be cancelled as soon as
possible to permit renewal of the

"HYDRACTIVE III +"
ELECTRONIC SUSPENSION
The suspension automatically and
instantly adjusts to different driving
styles and to the profi le of the road,
providing the best compromise be-
tween occupant comfort and vehicle
road holding.
The system alternates between soft
and fi rm suspension settings, maxi-
mising comfort at the same time as
constantly ensuring the highest level
of safety. It also automatically cor-
rects ride height, according to the
vehicle load and driving conditions.
In addition, the "Hydractive III +" sys-
tem allows you to choose between
two modes of suspension.

CHECKS
CHECKS
Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance with
the servicing booklet and according to
your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Battery
The battery does not re-
quire any maintenance.
However, check that the
terminals are clean and
correctly tightened, particu-
larly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery,
refer to the "Practical information" sec-
tion for details of the precautions to be
taken before disconnecting the battery
and following its reconnection.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the servicing
booklet for details of the
replacement intervals for
these components.
Depending on the environ-
ment (e.g. dusty atmosphere) and
the use of the vehicle (e.g. city driv-
ing), replace them twice as often
if necessary
(refer to the "Engines"
section).
A clogged passenger compartment
fi lter may have an adverse effect on
the performance of the air condition-
ing system and generate undesirable
odours.
Oil filter
Replace the oil fi lter each
time the engine oil is
changed.
Particle filter system (Diesel)
Complementary to the catalytic con-
verter, this fi lter makes an active
contribution to the preservation of air
quality by the retaining of the unburnt
pollutant particles. Black exhaust
fumes are thus no longer emitted.
After prolonged idling or driving at very
low speeds, you may occasionally no-
tice water vapour being emitted from
the exhaust when accelerating. This is
of no consequence to the running of
the vehicle or to the environment.
If there is risk of blockage, a mes-
sage appears in the instrument
panel screen, accompanied by an
audible signal and illumination of
the service warning lamp.
This alert tells you that the particle
fi lter is starting to fi ll up (in condi-
tions of urban driving of exception-
ally long duration: low speeds, traffi c
jams etc.)
To regenerate the fi lter, it is advised
to drive as soon as possible, when
traffi c conditions permit, at a speed
of 40 mph (around 60 km/h) or
more for at least fi ve minutes (until
the alert message disappears).
If this alert persists, consult a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop. Refer to the servicing booklet for de-
tails of the replacement interval for
this component.
The presence of this label, in par-
ticular with the Stop & Start system,
indicates the use of a specifi c 12 V
lead-acid battery with special tech-
nology and specifi cation, for which
the involvement of a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop is
required when replacing or discon-
necting the battery.
Failure to observe this recommenda-
tion may shorten the life of the battery.
