selected.

Display in the instrument panel


Cruise control

Speed limiter


The values must be set with the engine running.


In order to be programmed or activated, the
vehicle speed must be higher than 25 mph
(40 km/h), with at least four th gear engaged
on a manual gearbox (second gear on a
SensoDrive or automatic gearbox).

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 shift 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 gear selector, 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 accelerator progressively. These
attitudes contribute towards a reduction in fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions and also helps
reduce the background traffic noise.

When the traffic is flowing well, and if you
have cruise control, make use of the system at
speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h).



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 compar tment 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.

Fitting
Removal

To remove the mat on the driver's side:


)
move the seat as far back as possible,

)
unclip the fixings,

)
remove the mat.



Refitting

To refit the mat on the driver's side:


)
position the mat correctly,

)
refit the fixings by pressing,

)
check that the mat is secured correctly.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:


- only use mats which are suited
to the fixings already present in
the vehicle; these fixings must be
used,

- never fit one mat on top of another.
The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with access to
the pedals and hinder the operation of
the cruise control/speed limiter.

009
Driving


This section describes the use of the parking brake, the manual,
SensoDrive or automatic gearbox, the gear shift indicator and
Stop & Start to help reduce fuel consumption, the speed limiter to
avoid exceeding a programmed speed, cruise control to maintain a
programmed speed, the rear parking sensors to detect obstacles.

171Driving





Cruise control

System which automatically maintains the
speed of the vehicle at the value programmed
by the driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: it
requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40 km/h), as well as the engagement of:


- four th gear on a manual gearbox,

- second gear on a SensoDrive or automatic
gearbox, in sequential mode,

- position A
on a SensoDrive gearbox or
position D
on an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off
manually
or by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or
on triggering of the ESP system for safety
reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value. The controls of this system are grouped
together on stalk A
.

nor can it replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the par t of the driver.
