Cruise control

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 mode and avoid
pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or
suddenly.

The gear efficiency indicator invites you
to change up: as soon as the indication to
change up is displayed in the instrument
panel, follow it straight away.
With an electronic or 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
helps 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
blinds...).
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.

A few definitions…

This value may vary following a change
in the style of driving or the relief,
resulting in a significant change in the
current fuel consumption.
If dashes are displayed continuously
while driving in place of the digits,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. This function is only displayed from
20 mph (30 km/h).
The fuel consumption of your vehicle will
be higher than the official figures obtained
by CITROËN during the first 3 000 miles
(5 000 km) of the vehicle's life.


Range

(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
which can still be travelled with the fuel
remaining in the tank in relation to the average
fuel consumption over the last few miles
(kilometres) travelled.
When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km),
dashes are displayed. After filling with at least
5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is
displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).

Current fuel
consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel consumption during the
last few seconds.

Average fuel
consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel consumption since the
last trip computer zero reset.

Average speed

(mph or km/h)
This is the average speed calculated
since the last trip computer zero reset
(ignition on).


Distance travelled

(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
travelled since the last trip computer zero reset.









Stop & Start time
counter
(minutes/seconds or hours/
minutes)
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start, a time
counter calculates the time spent in STOP
mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the key.
