Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate   it   by   opening   the   windows   and   air   vents   before   using   the   air  
c

onditioning.
Above
  30   mph   (50   km/h),   close   the   windows   and   leave   the   air   vents  
ope

n.
Remember
  to   make   use   of   equipment   that   can   help   keep   the   temperature
 i

n   the   passenger   compartment   down   (sunroof   and   window   blinds...).
Switch
  off   the   air   conditioning,   unless   it   has   automatic   regulation,   as  
s

oon   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  
d

oes   not   require   their   use.
Avoid
  running   the   engine   before   moving   off,   particularly   in   winter;   your  
v

ehicle   will   warm   up   much   faster   while   driving.
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 and change up without waiting. During   acceleration   change   up   early.
With
  an   automatic   or   electronic   gearbox,   give   preference   to   automatic  
m

ode   and   avoid   pressing   the   accelerator   pedal   heavily   or   suddenly.
The
  gear   shift   indicator   invites   you   engage   the   most   suitable   gear:   as  
s

oon   as   the   indication   is   displayed   in   the   instrument   panel,   follow   it  
s

traight   away.
For
  vehicles   fitted   with   an   electronic   or   automatic   gearbox,   this  
i

ndicator   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  
p

ractices   contribute   towards   a   reduction   in   fuel   consumption   and   CO
2
emissions
 
and
 
also
 
helps
 
reduce
 
the
 
background
 
traffic
 
noise.
Control the use of your electrical
equipment
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds a bove   25   mph   (40   km/h)   when   the   traffic   is   flowing   well.As
  a   passenger,   if   you   avoid   connecting   your   multimedia   devices  
(

film,   music,   video   game...),   you   will   contribute   towards   limiting   the  c
onsumption   of   electrical   energy,   and   so   of   fuel.
Disconnect   your   portable   devices   before   leaving   the   vehicle.

DS3_en_Chap00c_eco-conduite_ed01-2015
Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the bottom   of   the   boot,   as   close   as   possible   to   the   rear   seats.
Limit
  the   loads   carried   in   the   vehicle   and   reduce   wind   resistance   (roof  
b

ars,   roof   rack,   bicycle   carrier,   trailer...).   Use   a   roof   box   in   preference.
Remove
  roof   bars   and   roof   racks   after   use.
At
  the   end   of   winter,   remove   snow   tyres   and   refit   your   summer   tyres.
Observe the recommendations on
maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the   door   aperture,   driver's   side.
Carry
  out   this   check   in   particular:
-
 
b
efore   a   long   journey,
-
 
a
t   each   change   of   season,
-
 
a
fter   a   long   period   out   of   use.
Don't
  forget   the   spare   wheel   and   the   tyres   on   any   trailer   or   caravan.
Have
  your   vehicle   serviced   regularly   (engine   oil,   oil   filter,   air   filter,  
p

assenger   compartment   filter...)   and   observe   the   schedule   of  
o

perations   recommended   in   the   manufacturer's   service   schedule.
With
  a   BlueHDi   Diesel   engine,   if   the   SCR   system   is   faulty   your   vehicle  
b

ecomes   polluting;   go   to   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop  
w

ithout   delay   to   have   the   emissions   of   nitrous   oxides   brought   back   to  
t

he   legal   level.
When
  refuelling,   do   not   continue   after   the   third   cut-off   of   the   nozzle   to  
a

void   any   over flow.
At
  the   wheel   of   your   new   vehicle,   it   is   only   after   the   first   1   800   miles  
(

3 000   kilometres)   that   you   will   see   the   fuel   consumption   settle   down   to  
a

  consistent   average.
Eco-driving

Operating faults
In the event of an impact to the windscreen at the sensor, deactivate
the
  system   and   contact   a   CITROËN  
d

ealer   or   a   qualified   workshop to   have  
y

our   windscreen   replaced.
Never
  try   to   remove,   adjust   or   test  
t

he sensor.
Only
  a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified
 w

orkshop   is   able   to   work   on   the   system.
When
  towing   a   trailer   or   when   the  
v

ehicle   is   being   towed,   the   system   must  
b

e   deactivated.Do not stick or other wise fix any object on the   windscreen   in   front   of   the   sensor.
Sensor fault
The operation of the laser sensor may suffer inter ference   from   accumulations   of   dirt   or  
m

isting   of   the   windscreen.   In   this   case   you   are  
w

arned   by   the   display   of   a   message.
Use
  the   windscreen   demisting   and   regularly  
c

lean the area of the windscreen in front of the
sensor.
System fault
In the event of a malfunction of the system, you a re   warned   by   an   audible   signal   and   the   display  
o

f   the   message   "Automatic braking system
fault" .
Have
  the   system   checked   by   a   CITROËN  
d

ealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
In
 
difficult
 
weather
 
conditions
 
(very
 h
eavy
 
rain,
 
snow,
 
fog,
 
hail...),
 
braking
 
d

istances increase, which can reduce
the
 
ability
 
of
 
the
 
system
 
to
 
avoid
 
a
 
c

ollision.
The
 
driver
 
must
 
therefore
 
remain
 
par

ticularly
 v

igilant.
Never
 
leave
 
accumulations
 
of
 
snow
 
or
 
a

ny
 
object
 
projecting
 
above
 
the
 
bonnet
 
o

r
 
in
 
front
 
of
 
the
 
roof:
 
this
 
might
 
fall
 
into
 
t

he field of vision of the sensor and
generate
 
a
 
detection.

Soft top
Your vehicle is fitted with an electric soft top roof.
The roof is opened and closed by pressing the control at the interior lamp, in the opening direction 1 and in the closing direction 2 .
Electric opening
and closing

3Access
In order to maintain the state of charge of the battery, it is recommended that the roof be operated with the engine running .
Operation of the roof is possible: - engine running, or - ignition on.
During operation of the roof with just the ignition on, starting the engine may cause the roof to stop, depending on the state of charge of the battery. To have the roof continue the operation, operate the control again after the engine has started.
Operating zones
There are two operating zones: Zone A : horizontal operating zone, in manual or automatic mode. Zone B : vertical operating zone, in automatic mode only.
Before operating the roof, ensure that no occupant of the vehicle or person outside the vehicle could be subject to any risk related to the movement of the roof or the rear screen and that no object could inter fere with the operation.
Roof positions
Position 0 : Roof completely closed. Position 1 : Stop position for automatic roof closing. Position 2 : Roof open horizontally. Position 3 : Roof completely open.

4Access
Opening
Manual mode Automatic mode
During automatic operation of the roof in zone A , pressing the control stops the roof. Opening of the roof in zone B can only be done in automatic mode.
 In zone A , press the control beyond the point of resistance to begin opening the roof.
 In zone A , press and hold the control without passing the point of resistance to open the roof.
 The roof stops as soon as you release the control.

5Access
During complete opening of the roof, the rear screen comes down onto the rear shelf. Ensure that no object is left on the shelf which might damage the rear screen or the roof.
Automatic opening of the roof in zone B
is not possible if the boot is open. In the event of a problem, check that the boot is fully closed .
During an operation in zone B , an instruction to stop the roof is not possible. Pressing the control reverses the direction of movement of the roof, whichever direction the control is pressed. This "anti-panic" function allows a quick change in direction of movement of the roof if suddenly required.
 Release the control: opening of the roof continues up to the maximum horizontal position (position 2 ).
 In zone B , a press on the control opens the roof completely (position 3 ).
Closing
Manual mode
 In zone A , press and hold the control without passing the point of resistance to close the roof.

6Access
Automatic mode
 In position 3 , press the control to begin closing the roof.
