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.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
CONTROLS
Control stalk for the selection and con-
trol of the various front and rear lamps
providing the vehicle's lighting.
Main lighting
The various front and rear lamps of
the vehicle are designed to adapt
the driver's visibility progressively in
relation to the climatic conditions:
- sidelamps, to be seen,
- dipped beam headlamps to see
without dazzling other drivers,
- main beam headlamps to see
clearly when the road is clear.
Additional lighting
Other lamps are fi tted to fulfi l the re-
quirements of particular driving con-
ditions:
- a rear foglamp to be seen from a
distance,
- front foglamps for even better
forward vision,
- directional headlamps for im-
proved visibility when cornering,
- daytime running lamps to be
seen during the day.
Programming
Various automatic lighting control
modes are also available depending
on options:
- guide-me-home lighting,
- automatic illumination of head-
lamps,
- directional lighting.
Manual controls
Lamps off.
Automatic illumination of
headlamps.
Sidelamps only.
Dipped headlamps or
main beam headlamps.
B.
Stalk for switching headlamps:
pull the stalk towards you to switch the lighting between dipped and
main beam headlamps.
In the lamps off and sidelamps
modes, the driver can switch on the
main beam headlamps temporarily
("headlamp fl ash") by maintaining a
pull on the stalk.
Displays
Illumination of the corresponding indi-
cator lamp in the instrument panel con-
fi rms that the lighting selected is on.
The lighting is controlled directly by
the driver by means of the ring A
and the stalk B
.
A.
Main lighting mode selection ring:
turn it to position the symbol re-
quired facing the mark.
In some weather conditions (e.g.
low temperature or humidity), the
presence of misting on the inter-
nal surface of the glass of the
headlamps and rear lamps is nor-
mal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.

Model with rear foglamps
only
Model with front and rear
foglamps
In good or rainy weather, both day
and night, use of the front foglamps
and the rear foglamps is prohibited.
In these situations, the power of their
beams may dazzle other drivers.
They should only be used in fog or
falling snow.
In these weather conditions, it is
your responsibility to switch on the
foglamps and dipped headlamps
manually as the sunshine sensor
may detect suffi cient light.
Do not forget to switch off the front
and rear foglamps when they are
no longer needed.
Lighting left on
When a front door is opened with
the ignition off and in manual ligh-
ting mode, an audible signal warns
the driver if the vehicle's lighting is
still on.
In this case, switching off the ligh-
ting stops the audible signal.
With the ignition off, if the dipped
headlamps remain on, they will
switch off automatically after thirty
minutes to prevent discharging of
the battery.

Linked with the automatic
"Guide-me-home" lighting
The link with the automatic illumi-
nation of headlamps provides the
"guide-me-home" lighting with the
following additional options:
- selection of the duration of ligh-
ting for 15, 30 or 60 seconds in
the vehicle parameters on the in-
strument panel screen confi gu-
ration menu,
- automatic activation of "guide-
me-home" lighting when auto-
matic illumination of headlamps
is in operation.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the sun-
shine sensor, the lighting comes on
and a message appears in the instru-
ment panel screen, accompanied by
an audible signal.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sen-
sor may detect suffi cient light.
Therefore, the lighting will not
come on automatically.
Do not cover the sunshine sen-
sor, linked with the rain sensor and
located in the centre of the wind-
screen behind the rear view mirror;
the associated functions would no
longer operate.
MANUAL HEADLAMP
ADJUSTMENT
To avoid dazzling other road users,
the height of the halogen bulb head-
lamps must be adjusted according
to the load in the vehicle.

AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT
OF DIRECTIONAL
HEADLAMPS
Do not touch the xenon bulbs.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop. If a fault occurs, this
warning lamp comes
on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an audible signal and a
message in the instru-
ment panel screen.
The system then places your head-
lamps in the lowest position. To avoid causing a nuisance to other
road users, this system corrects
the height of the xenon headlamp
beams automatically and when sta-
tionary, depending on the load in the
vehicle.
