Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2emissions.
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 youto change up; it is displayed in the instrumentpanel, follow its instructions.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, stay in Drive "D"or Auto "A"
, according to the type of gearbox, without pressing theaccelerator 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 practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2emissions and also helpsreduce 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 windowsand leave the air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment that can help keep the temperature in thepassenger compar tment down (sunroof and window blinds...). Switch off the air conditioning, unless it hasautomatic 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.

35
Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; placethe heaviest items in the bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats. Limit the loads carried in the vehicle andreduce 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 andrefit your summer tyres.



Observe the recommendations
on maintenance


Check the tyre pressures regularly, whencold, referring to the label in the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in par ticular:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.


Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engineoil, oil filter, air filter...) and obser ve theschedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.




When refuelling, do not continue after the 3 rdcut-off of the nozzle to avoid any overflow.

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 settledown to a consistent average.
Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps when the level of light does not require their use.

Avoid running the engine before moving off,particularly in winter; your vehicle will warmup much faster while driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, videogame...), you will contribute towards limitingthe consumption of electrical energy, and soof fuel. Disconnect your por table devices beforeleaving the vehicle.

Visibility








Interior mood lighting The dimmed passenger compar tment lighting improves visibility in the vehicle whenthe light is poor.

At night, the audio system and digital air conditioning illumination, together with the
illumination of the central dashboard storagebox, comes on automatically when the sidelamps are on. The interior mood li
ghting switches off
automatically when the sidelamps areswitched off.
It can be switched off manually by adjusting theinstrument panel lighting dimmer button to one of the lowest settings.
On cer tain versions, three LEDs, located in the rail linking the rear view mirror to the roof come on as well.

For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre par t of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on thedashboard.
If possible, do not smoke as deployment of the airbags can cause burns or the risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.



Lateral airbags

Use only approved covers on the seats,compatible with the deployment the lateral airbags. For information on the range of seat covers suitable for your vehicle, you cancontact a CITROËN dealer (see "Practicalinformation - § Accessories").
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat backs (clothing...). This could cause injury to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag isdeployed.
Do not sit with the upper par t of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.


Curtain airbags

Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This could cause injury to the head if thecurtain airbag is deployed.
If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof, they play a par t in securing the cur tain airbags.


Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the occupantsand the airbags (a child, pet, object...). This could hamper the operation of the airbags or injure the occupants. After an accident or if the vehicle has beenstolen or broken into, have the airbagsystems checked. All work on the airbag system must be carriedout by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are obser ved, a risk of injury or of minor burns to the head, chest or arms when an airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. The
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few milliseconds) then deflates within the sametime discharging the hot gas via openings provided for this purpose.

Fitting roof bars
For safety reasons and to avoid damaging the roof, it is essential to use the transverse barsapproved for your vehicle.
When
fitting roof bars, use only the four fixing points located in the roof frame. The points are
masked by the vehicle doors when closed.
Remove the protective covers, levering them
off with a screwdriver. Take care not to scratch
the paint.
The roof bar fixin
gs include a stud to be fitted to
the hole at each fixing point.
Observe the fitting instructions and theconditions of use in the guide supplied with the bars.
Keep the protective covers safe so that theycan be refitted after removing the roof bars.


Maximum authorised weight on the roof rack, for a loading height not exceeding40 cm (with the exception of bicycle
carriers): 55kg. As this value is subject to change, check the maximum load figure given inthe guide provide d with the roof bars.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt thespeed of the vehicle to the profile of theroad to avoid damaging the roof bars and the fixings on the vehicle.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in order to comply with the regulations for transporting objects which are longer than the vehicle.
