Customising kits
These expressive stickers form part  of  a  range  of  kits,  very Â
d
ifferent  one  from  another,  which Â
a
llow  you  to  create  a  unique Â
a
nd  attractive  exterior  for  your Â
v
ehicle.
guide-me-home lighting
After switching off the ignition, under low lighting conditions the headlamps remain  on  for  a  few  seconds  to  help  you  leave  the  vehicle.
Active City Brake
The purpose of this system is to avoid a frontal  collision  or  reduce  the  speed  of  impact Â
i
f  the  driver  does  not  react  or  does  not  react Â
s
ufficiently.

Stop & Start
This system puts the engine t
emporarily  on  standby  during Â
s
tops  in  the  traffic  (red  lights,  traffic Â
j
ams,  etc...).  The  engine  restarts Â
a
utomatically  as  soon  as  you  want  to Â
m
ove  off.  Stop  &  Start reduces  fuel Â
c
onsumption,  exhaust  emissions  and Â
n
oise  levels  when  stationary.

Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate  it  by  opening  the  windows  and  air  vents  before  using  the  air Â
c
onditioning.
Above
 30  mph  (50  km/h),  close  the  windows  and  leave  the  air  vents Â
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 Â
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 Â
d
oes  not  require  their  use.
Avoid
 running  the  engine  before  moving  off,  particularly  in  winter;  your Â
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 Â
m
ode  and  avoid  pressing  the  accelerator  pedal  heavily  or  suddenly.
The
 gear  efficiency  indicator  invites  you  engage  the  most  suitable  gear: Â
a
s  soon  as  the  indication  is  displayed  in  the  instrument  panel,  follow  it Â
s
traight  away.
For
 vehicles  fitted  with  an  electronic  or  automatic  gearbox,  this Â
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 Â
p
ractices  contribute  towards  a  reduction  in  fuel  consumption  and  CO
2
emissions
Â
and
Â
also
Â
helps
Â
reduce
Â
the
Â
background
Â
traffic
Â
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 Â
(
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.

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 Â
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:
-
Â
b
efore  a  long  journey,
-
Â
a
t  each  change  of  season,
-
Â
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, Â
p
assenger  compartment  filter...)  and  observe  the  schedule  of Â
o
perations  recommended  in  the  manufacturer's  service  schedule.
With
 a  BlueHDi  Diesel  engine,  if  the  SCR  system  is  faulty  your  vehicle Â
b
ecomes  polluting;  go  to  a  CITROËN  dealer  or  a  qualified  workshop Â
w
ithout  delay  to  have  the  emissions  of  nitrous  oxides  brought  back  to Â
t
he  legal  level.
When
 refuelling,  do  not  continue  after  the  third  cut-off  of  the  nozzle  to Â
a
void  any  over flow.
At
 the  wheel  of  your  new  vehicle,  it  is  only  after  the  first  1  800  miles Â
(
3 000  kilometres)  that  you  will  see  the  fuel  consumption  settle  down  to Â
a
 consistent  average.
