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 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 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
e quipment
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.
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 warm up much faster while driving.
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.

Heating and Ventilation
controls
The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by
the driver, the front passenger and rear
passengers.
The temperature control enables you to obtain
the level of comfort required by mixing the air of
the various circuits.
The air distribution control enables you to
select the air vents used in the passenger
compartment by the combined use of the
associated buttons.
The air flow control enables you to increase or
reduce the speed of the ventilation fan.
These controls are grouped together on control
panel A on the centre console.1.

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F
To o
btain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles
located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well
as the air extractor located in the boot.
F
Do n

ot cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation
of the digital air conditioning system.
F
Op

erate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month
to keep it in per fect working order.
F
En

sure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).
We r

ecommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its
special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the
occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
F
To e

nsure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
it checked regularly as recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.
F
If t

he system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
You can switch off the air conditioning (AC button) and stay in Automatic mode in order
to limit fuel consumption. If misting appears while in this mode, you can switch the air
conditioning back on temporarily to improve the situation.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the
air conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very high, first
ventilate the passenger compartment for
a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge
of water under the vehicle which is
per fectly normal.
If you want to prioritise heating, start
and leave the engine running by
pressing ECO OFF.

Dual-zone digital air conditioning
1. Automatic comfort programme
We recommend the use of one of
the three AUTO modes available:
they provide optimised regulation of
the temperature in the
p
assenger F Pr
ess the "AUTO" button repeatedly:
-
a fi

rst indicator lamp comes on; the "low"
setting mode is selected,
-
a se

cond indicator lamp comes on; the
"medium" setting mode is selected,
-
a th

ird indicator lamp comes on; the
"high" mode setting is selected.
Use the "medium" and "high" settings in
preference to maintain the comfort level at the
r e a r. When the engine is cold, the air
flow will reach its optimum level
progressively, taking account of the
weather and the desired comfort level
so as to avoid too great a distribution
of cold air.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer
than the comfort value, there is no
need to change the value displayed in
order to obtain the comfort required. In
all seasons, with the windows closed
the system corrects the difference
in temperature automatically and as
quickly as possible.
This system is designed to operate effectively
in all seasons, with the windows closed.
Automatic operation

that you have chosen.
These three modes automatically control the
system, according to the desired setting, while
also maintaining the desired comfort value.

respectively to decrease or increase this
value.
A setting around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However, depending on your
requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is
normal.
You are advised to avoid a left / right setting
difference of more than 3.
Manual operation
If you wish, you can make a different choice
from that offered by the system by changing a
setting. The "AUTO" indicator lamps go off; the
other functions, except the air conditioning, will
still be controlled automatically.
F
Pr

essing the "AUTO" button returns the
system to completely automatic operation.
With Stop & Start, when demisting has
been activated, the STOP mode is not
available.
The value indicated on the display corresponds
to a level of comfort and not to a temperature in
degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.

d ecrease the air flow or to the
right to increase the air flow.
The air flow indicator lamps, between the two
fans, come on progressively in relation to the
value requested.
8. Air intake / Air recirculation
Interior air recirculation enables the passenger
compartment to be isolated from exterior
odours and smoke when external pollution is
detected.
It is activated automatically on operation of the
screenwash.
It is inactive when the ambient temperature is
below 5 °C to avoid the risk of misting in the
vehicle. -
Th

e indicator lamp "with "A" on
indicates that recirculation is
controlled automatically.
-
Th

e indicator lamp "without A"
on indicates that recirculation is
forced manually.
-
Bo

th indicator lamps off
indicates that recirculation is
controlled automatically without
taking account of the detection
of pollution.
Avoid prolonged operation in interior
air recirculation mode or driving for
long periods with the system off (risk of
