As a passenger, if you avoid connecting
your multimedia devices (film, 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.
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 gearbox, give preference
to automatic mode and avoid pressing the
accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
The gear efficiency indicator invites you to
engage the most suitable gear: as soon as the
indication is displayed in the instrument panel,
follow it straight away.
For vehicles fitted with an automatic gearbox,
this indicator 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 practices contribute towards a reduction
in fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions and
also help reduce the background traffic noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of
the system at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h)
when the traffic is flowing 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 (sunroof and window
b

linds...).
Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps
when the ambient light level does not require
their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up
much faster while driving.
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has
automatic 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.
Eco-driving

11
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 bars, 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, passenger compartment
filter...) and observe the schedule of operations
recommended in the manufacturer's service
schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty your vehicle becomes
polluting; go to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop without delay to have the
emissions of nitrogen oxides brought back to
the legal level. When refuelling, do not continue after the third
cut-off of the nozzle to avoid 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.

Visual indicators informing the driver that a system is in operation or is switched off (indicator lamp),
or has a fault (warning lamp).
Indicator and warning lamps
When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a few
seconds when the vehicle's ignition is
switched on.
When the engine is started, these same
warning lamps should go off.
If they remain on, before moving off, refer to the
information on the warning lamp concerned.
Associated warnings
Certain warning lamps may come on in one of
two modes: fixed (continuous) or flashing.
Only by relating the type of illumination to the
operation of the vehicle can it be determined
whether the situation is normal or a fault has
occurred. In the event of a fault, the illumination
of the warning lamp may be accompanied by
an audible signal and/or a message.
Warning lamps
When the engine is running or the vehicle is
being driven, illumination of one of the following
warning lamps indicates a fault which requires
action on the part of the driver.
Any fault resulting in the illumination of a
warning lamp must be investigated further
using the associated message.
If you encounter any problems, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Operation indicator lamps
If one of the following indicator lamps comes on
in the instrument panel and/or instrument panel
screen, this confirms that the corresponding
system has come into operation.
Deactivation indicator lamps
If one of the following indicator lamps comes
on, this confirms that the corresponding system
has been switched off intentionally.
This is may be accompanied by an audible
signal and the display of a message.

Warning/indicator lampis on Cause Action/Observations
STOP fixed, alone or
associated with
another warning lamp,
accompanied by an
audible signal and a
message in the screen. Illumination of this warning lamp is
associated with a serious fault with
the braking system, power steering,
engine lubrication system or cooling
system.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so as there is a risk that
the engine will cut out while driving.
Park, switch off the ignition and contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Maximum coolant
temperature fixed.
The temperature of the cooling system
is too high. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait until the engine has cooled down before topping-
up the level, if necessary.
If the problem persists, contact a CITROËN dealer or
qualified workshop.
Engine oil
pressure fixed.
There is a fault with the engine
lubrication system. You must stop as soon it is safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
* Depending on country of sale. Seat belt not
fastened /
unfastened*
fixed, then flashing,
accompanied by an
increasing audible
signal. The driver or front passenger has not
buckled or has unbuckled their seat
belt.
Pull on the belt in question and insert the tongue in the
buckle.
This warning repeats the seat belt information given by
the roof console warning lamps.
At least one rear passenger has
unbuckled their seat belt.
