9Familiarisation
      
For economical driving, caring for the environment 
  The  fuel   consumption  of 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  Auto    mode  of 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 particular 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 bars, loaded or not, …), the use of power consumers (air conditioning, heated seats, heated rear screen, …).  Observe 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 steady speeds 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.

35Hybrid system
         Hybrid4 mode selector  
  The selector allows the user to choose between 4 drive modes for the vehicle.  Turn the dial to the right or left; the mode selected is confirmed by illumination of the corresponding i n d i c a t o r.  
ZEV  mode, to force electric running.  
SPORT  mode, to make use of the maximum per formance of the vehicle.  
4WD  mode, to force the vehicle into 4x4 mode.   
AUTO  mode, for normal use and optimised fuel consumption.  
  On starting the vehicle: with the gear selector in position  N , press the brake pedal and press the START/STOP button to activate the hybrid system.  This lamp comes on when the vehicle is ready to move off ("Auto" mode is on by default) and so the driver can press the accelerator.  This lamp comes on more or less instantly but may take a few seconds in some cases (in particular, the time needed for pre-heating the Diesel engine in cold weather or, for example, in energy economy mode, ...).  
         Ready lamp 
  With the vehicle stationary, press the START/STOP button and check that the  Ready  lamp is off when leaving the vehicle, other wise the hybrid system will still be active. 
  For more information, refer to the section on "Underbonnet precautions / warnings".

  Observe  the  recommendations 
on maintenance 
  Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the door aperture, driver's side.  Carry out this check in particular:    -   before  a  long  journey,   -   at each change of season,   -   after a long period out of use.   
  Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of operations recommended in the maintenance and  warranty  guide.    
  When refuelling, do not continue after the 3 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 settle down to a consistent  average.   
  At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.   
  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 in preference.  Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.  
  Limit the causes of excess 
consumption

Car washing machine or tunnel 
  Some car washing machines or tunnels (where the vehicle is moved for wards on a travelling track) require that the parking brake be "released" during the wash. 
 With the hybrid system active,  Ready  lamp on, parking brake released:    -   Place the gear selector in position  N .   -   Switch off the engine (press on START/STOP). The parking brake is applied automatically and the  Ready  lamp goes off in the instrument panel.   -   Switch on the ignition again (press on START/STOP) without your foot on the brake pedal. The  Ready  lamp remains off.   -   Release the parking brake using the manual control on the centre console, while keeping your foot on the brake pedal.   -   Switch off the ignition (press on START/STOP without your foot on the brake pedal) checking that the parking brake 
remains  released.     
  If the Diesel engine is not running, it restarts.  If the Diesel engine is running, it remains running without time limit.   
 With the hybrid system active,  Ready  lamp on, parking brake released:    -   Place the gear selector in position  N  (Auto or Sport mode).   -   Press the brake pedal then the ECO OFF button.

Engine oil level indicator 
  Lack  of  oil 
 This is indicated by the flashing of  " O I L"   or an alert message in the instrument panel, accompanied by illumination of the service warning lamp and an audible signal.  If the lack of oil is confirmed by a check using the dipstick, it is essential that the level is topped up to prevent damage to the engine.  Refer to the "Checking levels" section.  
  Indicator  fault 
 This is indicated by the flashing of  "OIL- -"   or the appearance of an alert message in the instrument  panel.  Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.  In the event of a fault with the electric gauge, the oil level is no longer monitored.  If the system is faulty, you should check the engine oil level using the dipstick under the bonnet.  Refer to the "Checking levels" section.   
 This information is displayed for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on, at the same time as the service information. 
 The check of this level is only valid if the vehicle is on a level sur face, with the engine having been off for more than 30 minutes.

  Low  fuel  level 
 When the low fuel level in the tank is reached, this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible warning and a message in the instrument panel screen. 
  Fuel  supply  cut-off 
 Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a 
collision.  
 It remains possible to use a fuel can to fill the tank.  In order to ensure a good flow of fuel, do not place the nozzle of the fuel can in direct contact with the flap of the misfuel prevention device and pour 
s l ow l y. 
                 Misfuel  prevention  (Diesel) *  
 Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of engine damage that can result from filling with the wrong fuel.  Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention device appears when the filler cap is removed. 
 When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes into contact with the flap. The system remains closed and prevents filling. Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type filler nozzle.
  Operation 
   Travelling  abroad 
 As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different in other countries, the presence of the misfuel prevention device may make refuelling impossible.  Before travelling abroad, we recommend that you check with the CITROËN dealer network, whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuel pumps in the country in which you want to  travel.   
  *    According  to  country  of  sale.  
 When it first comes on, around 6 litres of fuel remain in the tank.  Until sufficient fuel has been added, this warning lamp comes on every time the ignition is switched on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message. This audible signal and message are repeated with increasing frequency as the fuel levels drops and approaches "0".  You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid running  out.

123Comfort
 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 well as 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 month to keep it in per fect working order.    Ensure that the passenger compartment 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 the occupants 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 have it checked regularly as recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.    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 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.
