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.

Hybrid system
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 inpreference.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 aper ture, 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.
Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) and obser ve the schedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.
When refuelling, do not continue after the3 rd
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 settledown to a consistent average.

With the hybrid system active or when the vehicle is being driven, illumination of one of the following warning lamps indicates a fault which requires action on the par t of the driver.
Any fault resulting in the illumination of a warning lamp must be investigated further by reading the associated message in the instrument panel screen.
If you encounter any problems, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

STOPfixed, associated with another warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen.It is associated with a punctured wheel,
the brakin

the engine oil pressure, the enginecoolant temperature, the hybrid system
or a major electrical fault.Stop as soon as it is safe to do so as the en
gine may cut out.
Park, switch off the ignition and call a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Serviceon temporarily. A minor fault has occurred for which
there is no specific warning lamp. Identify the fault by reading the message shown in the screen, such as, for example:
- the closing of the doors, boot or bonnet,
- the engine oil level,
- the screenwash level,
- the remote control battery,
- the tyre pressures,
- saturation of the par ticle emission filter (Diesel). - ...For any other faults, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl ation detection System which automatically checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.
Sensors fitted in each valve trigger a warning in
the event of malfunction (speed above 12 mph(20 km/h)).
The spare wheel is not fitted with a sensor.
All repairs and changing of tyres on a wheel fitted with this system must becarried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you install a wheel which is not detected by your vehicle (example: fitting of snow tyres),you must have the system reinitialised by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifiedworkshop.
This message is also displayed whenone of the wheels is away from thevehicle (being repaired) or when one or more wheels without a sensor are fitted.
The tyre under-inflation detectionsystem is an aid to driving which doesnot replace the need for the driver to bevigilant or to drive responsibly.
This system does not avoid the needto have the tyre pressures checkedregularly (refer to "Identification markings") to ensure that the optimumdynamic per formance of the vehicle is maintained and prevent premature wear of the tyres, particularly inarduous driving conditions (heavy load,high speed). The tyre pressures must be checked cold, at least once a month. Remember to check the pressure of the spare wheel.
The tyre under-inflation detectionsystem may experience temporary inter ference due to electromagnetic signals on a frequency close to thatused by the system.
A message appears in the instrument panel screen, accompanied by an audible signal,
to identify the wheel concerned.
Under-infl ated tyre
This warning lamp andthe STOPwarning lamp come on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in the instrument
panel screen identifying the wheel concerned. ) Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden
movement of the steering wheel and thebrakes. ) Change the damaged wheel (punctured or
very deflated tyre), and have the tyre pressure checked as soon as possible.
Puncture
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen, accompanied by an audible signal,
to identi
fy the wheel or wheels which are not
detected or to indicate a fault in the system.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to replace the faulty sensor(s).
Sensor(s) not detectedor faulty
)Check the tyre pressures as soon as possible. This check must be carried out when the tyres are cold.

Intelligent traction control
s
ystem ("Snow motion")
Your vehicle has a system to help driving onsnow: intelligent traction control.This system detects situations of difficult surface adhesion that could make it difficult to move off or make progress on deep fresh snow
or compacted snow.In these situations, the intelligent traction control
limits the amount of wheel slip to provide the best traction and trajectory control
for your vehicle.
Operation
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution
(EBFD)
In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasing the pressure.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),make sure that these are approved for your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake pedal. When this warnin
g lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, it indicates that
there is a fault with the ABS, which
could cause loss of control of the vehicle whenbraking.
When this warnin
g lamp comes on, coupled with the STOPwarning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, it indicates that
th
ere is a fault with the electronic brake forcedistribution (EBFD), which could cause loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so. In both cases, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
The use of snow tyres is stronglyrecommended on sur faces offering low
levels of adhesion.
