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
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.
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.

Where the vehicle locks itself again
automatically (occurs 30 seconds after
unlocking, if a door or the boot is not
opened), the monitoring system is not
reactivated automatically.
To reactivate it, the vehicle must be
unlocked and locked again, using the
remote control or the "Keyless Entry
and Starting" system. To be effective, this deactivation must
be carried out each time the ignition is
switched off.

Warning triangle (stowing)
Use the straps on the interior boot trim to stow
the folded triangle or its storage box.Placing the triangle on the road
Place the triangle behind the vehicle, as
required by the legislation in force in your
c o unt r y.

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F
T
o 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 well
as the air extractor located in the boot.
F

D
o not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation
of the digital air conditioning system.
F

O
perate 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

E
nsure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).
W

e 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 the
occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
F

T
o ensure 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

I
f 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 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.
