9Familiarisation





For economical driving, caring for the environment


The fuel consumptionof a vehicle varies greatly:


- according to the driver's style of driving
(moderate, aggressive, fast, ...),

- according to the type of journeys
made (urban, main road, motor way, flowing, heavy traffic, …) and the speed.


Main recommendations for driving economically


Hybrid mode selector

To optimise fuel consumption, use the Automodeof the selector whenever possible (the mode is activated
automatically when starting) including for urban journeys.
This mode optimises the use of the energy sources (internal combustion engine and/or electric) contrary to other modes, which are for use in par ticular cases.


Gear lever
Use the automatic
mode A
as much as possible as this optimises gear changes to suit the requirements.


Causes of high consumption and checks
As with any vehicle, limit overloading, wind resistance (windows open above 30 mph (50 km/h), roof rack, loaded or not, …), the use of power consumers (air conditioning, heated seats, heated rear screen, …).
Obser ve the recommendations on checks (regular check of tyre pressures, correct tyre pressures, …) and routine servicing.



Drive smoothly
Stay in the "eco" zone
displayed in the energy consumption / generation indicator: accelerate gently, drive at steadyspeeds using the speed limiter or cruise control as soon as possible.Use the "charge" zone: anticipate the need to slow down by taking your foot off the accelerator rather than braking.
The movement of the energy consumption / generation indicator needle (into the "charge" zone), shows the level of energy recovery.

Consumption history
See the impact of your style of driving and the type of journey by reviewing the history of your energy consumption.Refer to the "Multifunction screens" section.

Automatic restarting of the Diesel engine or ZEV mode NOT available

Maintaining the performance of
the system



- When the vehicle exceeds 18 mph(30 km/h) after moving off (if the internal
combustion engine has not already star ted since the vehicle was last star ted).

- If the high voltage battery is not sufficiently charged. A minimum of 4 barsin ZEV mode so as to ensure operationover a cer tain distance (in AUTO, electricoperation is accessible for a shor ter period with a lower level of charge).

- When the fuel level enters the reservezone (where rate of consumption of this reser ve is high, ZEV inhibition may continue for some time after refuelling).

- During regeneration of the particleemissions filter, which occursautomatically for 5 to 10 minutes,approximately every 300 miles (500 kms)(or less in extended urban running).

The internal combustion engine may restar t or
ZEV mode may not be available in the variousconditions presented below. The internal combustion engine can beswitched off automatically as soon as these
conditions are lifted. When the conditions described below causethe vehicle to come out of ZEV mode andthe Diesel engine to restar t, the vehicle automatically changes to AUTO mode.
Your vehicle is fitted with the most effective emissions control systems, in par ticular the Particle Emissions Filter (PEF).
At regular intervals your Diesel engine will produce energy for the self-cleaning of this filter.During this PEF regeneration phase, electric running is purposely made unavailable.
Action by the driver
- Moving the gear selector to position M
. - Action on steering mounted control paddles to change gear.- Sustained and sharp acceleration. - Use of demisting.- Use of air conditioning.


Diffi cult weather conditions and
circumstances



- If cer tain conditions or engine temperature requirements make it necessary (such as
an engine temperature that is too low for the ambient conditions).

- When the battery is close to maximumcharge (for example: when going down a long hill), because engine recoverybeing no longer possible, the internalcombustion engine restar ts automatically just to provide engine braking.

- If the vehicle encounters a steep slope(car park ramp, ...).

- If the vehicle has been parked in the sunfor a prolonged period.

- When driving in mountainous conditions(altitude).

43Hybrid system








ECO OFF switch


This function prevents the Diesel engine
being switched off and so ensures that a comfor table temperature can be maintained in
the passenger compar tment (air conditioning
running continuously).
On pressing the switch, the engine restar ts
immediately.
To return to normal operation, press the switch
a
gain.
After switching off the ignition, the vehicle will
return to normal operation (lamp in the switch
off).
*
Except in ZEV mode, which favours electricrunning over assuring a comfortable
temperature.
During electric running and when the engine is
stopped, the hybrid system manages restarting automatically to assure comfor t levels in thepassenger compartment * .
However, variations in temperature may still
be felt in very hot climates. To avoid any
discomfor t in these conditions you can press
the ECO OFF switch.

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
Use automated mode A
as much as possible
as this optimises gear changes to suit thecircumstances.

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 CO2 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.


Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it byopening 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 canhelp keep the temperature in the passenger compartment down (sun roof and windowblinds...). Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic digital regulation, as soon as thedesired temperature is attained. Switch off the demisting and defrostingcontrols, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.


Switch off the headlamps and front foglampswhen the level of light does not require their use.

Avoid running the Diesel engine when stationary, par ticularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up 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.



Control the use of your electrical equipment

113Comfort
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines below: )
To obtain 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 wellas the air extractor located in the boot.
)
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation of the digital air conditioning system. )
Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a monthto keep it in perfect working order. )
Ensure that the passenger compar tment filter is in good condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section). We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by theoccupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).)
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to haveit checked regularly as recommended in the ser vicing booklet. )
If the 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 theair 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, firstventilate the passenger compar tment 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 notcontain chlorine and does not present any danger to the ozone layer.


The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a dischargeof water under the vehicle which is
perfectly normal.

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 passenger compartment according to the comfort value
that you have chosen.
These three modes automatically control the system, according to the desired setting, while also maintaining the desired comfort value.
) Press the "AUTO"
button repeatedly:


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

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

- a third indicator lamp comes on; the
"high" mode setting is selected.

Use the "medium" and "high" settings in
preference to maintain the comfort level at
th
e rear.

When the engine is cold, the air flow will reach its optimum level
progressively, taking account of the weather and the desired comfort levelso as to avoid too great a distributionof cold air. On entering the vehicle, if the interior temperature is much colder or warmer than the comfor t value, there is noneed to change the value displayed in order to obtain the comfor t required. Inall seasons, with the windows closed the system corrects the differencein temperature automatically and asquickly as possible.
This s
ystem is designed to operate effectively
in all seasons, with the windows closed.
Automatic operation
The air conditioning can only operate when the hybrid system is active (Ready lamp on).
Its effectiveness will be reduced when in electric mode (see the ECO OFF section).

The driver and front passenger can each adjust the temperature to their requirements.
The value indicated on the display corresponds to a level of comfor t and not to a
temperature in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
)Turn control 2or 3to the left or to the right respectively to decrease or increase this
value.
A setting around the value 21 provides optimumcomfort. However, depending on your requirements,
a setting between 18 and 24 is normal. You are advised to avoid a left / right settingdifference of more than 3.

Manual operation

If you wish, you can make a different choice from that offered by the system by changing asetting. The "AUTO"
indicator lamps go off; theother functions, except the air conditioning, willstill be controlled automatically.)
Pressing the "AUTO"
button returns the system to completely automatic operation.
With Stop & Start, when demisting hasbeen switched on, the Diesel engine does not stop.

5. Air conditioning On / Off
)Press this button to switch off
the air conditioning.
Switchin
g the system off could result in
discomfort (humidity, condensation).)Press this button again to return to automatic operation of the air conditioning.The indicator lamp in the "A/C"
button comes on.
To obtain cool air more quickly, you can use
recirculation of the interior air for a few moments.
Then revert to the intake of exterior air.


6. Air distribution adjustment
)Press one or more buttons todirect the air flow towards:


- t
he windscreen and side windows,

- the outer and centre air vents,

- th
e footwells.
You can combine the three orientations to obtain the desired air distribution.


7. Air fl ow adjustment
)Turn this control to the left todecrease the air flow or to theright to increase the air flow.
The air flow indicator lamps, between the two
fans, come on pro
gressively in relation to the
value requested.


8. Air intake / Air recirculation
Air recirculation enables the passenger compartment to be isolated from exterior odours
and smoke when external pollution is detected(if your vehicle is fitted with a pollution sensor).
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 mistin
g in the
vehicle.


- The indicator lamp with "A" on
in
dicates that recirculation is controlled automatically.

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

- Both indicator lamps off
indicates that recirculation is controlled automatically without
taking account of the detection
of pollution.

Without pollution sensor
If
your vehicle is not fitted with a
pollution sensor, press this button
to force recirculation manuall
y.
In ZEV mode, the hybrid system maytemporarily inhibit operation of the air conditioning.
