25Familiarisation


















































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 or electronic 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.
With an electronic or 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.

31Monitoring






Indicator and warning lamps

When the engine is started, these same
warning lamps should go off.
If they remain on, before moving off, refer to the
information on the warning lamp concerned.


Associated warnings

The switching on of certain warning lamps may
be accompanied by an audible signal and a
message in the instrument panel screen.
The warning lamps may come on continuously
(fixed) or flash.
Certain warning lamps may come on in
one of two modes: fixed (continuous) or
flashing.
Only by relating the type of illumination
to the operation of the vehicle can it
be determined whether the situation is
normal or a fault has occurred.
Refer to the tables on the following
pages for more information.
Visual indicators informing the driver that a
system is in operation, switched off or has a
fault.

When the ignition is switched on

Certain warning lamps come on for a few
seconds in the instrument panel and/or
instrument panel screen when the vehicle's
ignition is switched on.

Warning / indicator lamp



State



Cause



Action / Observations









Automatic
wiping


fixed. The wiper control is pushed
downwards. Automatic front wiping is activated.
To deactivate automatic wiping, operate the control
stalk downwards or put the stalk into another position.





Passenger's
airbag system
fixed in the seat belt
and passenger's front
airbag warning lamps
display. The control switch, located in the glove
box, has been placed in the "ON"
position.
The passenger's front airbag is activated.
In this case, do not install a "rear facing"
child seat. Move the control switch to the "OFF"
position to
deactivate the passenger's front airbag.
In this case, you can install a "rear facing" child seat.




Stop & Start


fixed. When the vehicle stops (red lights,
traffic jams, ...) the Stop & Start
system has put the engine into STOP
mode. The warning lamp goes off and the engine restarts
automatically in START mode, as soon as you want to
move off.

flashes for a few
seconds, then goes
off. STOP mode is temporarily
unavailable.
or
START mode is invoked
automatically. For more information on special cases with STOP
mode and START mode, refer to the "Stop & Start"
section.

System for manual adjustment of the
brightness of the instruments and controls in
relation to the exterior brightness.









Lighting dimmer


Activation

When the lighting is on:



press the button to change the brightness
of the instruments and controls,


when the level of brightness required is
reached, release the button.



Deactivation

When the lighting is off, or in day mode on
vehicles fitted with daytime running lamps,
pressing the button does not have any effect.
The total and trip distances are displayed for thirty seconds when the ignition is switched off, when
the driver's door is opened and when the vehicle is locked or unlocked.












Distance recorders


Total distance recorder

System which measures the total distance
travelled by the vehicle since its first
registration.

To conform to legislation in the country
you are crossing, change the units
of distance (miles or km) via the
configuration menu.


Trip distance recorder

System which measures a distance travelled
during a day or other period since it was reset
to zero by the driver.



With the ignition on, press the button until
zeros appear.

51Monitoring
If dashes are displayed continuously
while driving in place of the digits,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. This value may vary following a change
in the style of driving or the relief,
resulting in a significant change in the
current fuel consumption.






Trip computer, a few definitions…


Range

(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
which can still be travelled with
the fuel remaining in the tank
in relation to the average fuel
consumption over the last few
miles (kilometres) travelled.
When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km),
dashes are displayed. After filling with at least
5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is
displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km). This function is only displayed from
20 mph (30 km/h).


Current fuel consumption

(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel consumption
during the last few seconds.

Average fuel
consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel
consumption since the last trip
computer zero reset.


Average speed

(mph or km/h)
This is the average speed calculated
since the last trip computer zero
reset (ignition on).









Stop & Start time
counter
(minutes / seconds or hours /
minutes)
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start, a time
counter calculates the time spent in STOP
mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the START/STOP button.

71Access

Safety anti-pinch


If the blind stops and immediately opens again
during a closing manoeuvre:



operate the control until the blind is fully
open,


then operate the control until the blind is
fully closed.

The safety anti-pinch function is not
operational during these operations.


If the blind meets an obstacle during
operation, you must reverse the
movement of the blind. To do this, press
the control concerned.
When the driver operates the blind
control, they must ensure that no one is
preventing correct closing of the blind.
The driver must ensure that passengers
use the blind correctly.
Be aware of children when operating
the blind.



Reinitialisation

If power to the blind is cut off while it is moving,
the safety anti-pinch must be reinitialised:



operate the control until the blind is fully
closed,


continue to press for at least 3 seconds. A
slight movement of the blind will then be
noticeable, confirming the reinitialisation.
In automatic mode and at the end of its travel,
if the blind meets an obstacle while closing it
stops and moves back slightly.

79Comfort

Switch on the ignition or start the engine if the vehicle has gone into
economy mode.
The electric functions of the driver's seat are active for about 45 seconds
after opening the front door. They are deactivated about 45 seconds after
switching off the ignition and in economy mode.
To reactivate them, switch on the ignition.
