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,
change up without waiting and drive by
changing up quite soon. If your vehicle
has the system, the gear efficiency
indicator invites you to change up; it is
displayed in the instrument panel, follow
its instructions.

With an automatic or electronic gearbox,
stay in Drive "D"
or Auto "A"
, according to
the type of gearbox, without pressing the
accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.



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 electricalequipment


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 digital 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.

Resetting to zero
The stopping of the permanent flashing of
the indicator is carried out by an repairer
equipped with a diagnostic tool.

Refer to the list of checks in the
servicing booklet which was given to
you on handover of the vehicle. For 3.0 litre HDi engines, the engine speed
is restricted to 3 000 rpm, then 1 500 rpm
until the oil change is done. Have the engine
oil changed to avoid any risk of damage.

This 2 nd warning lamp, coupled with
the 1 st , comes on in the instrument
panel when the oil has not been
changed and the deterioration of the
oil has reached another threshold. To
avoid the risk of damage, have the oil
changed without waiting for this level.

clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedal:


- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,

- never fit one mat on top of another.

Avoid leaving your hand on the gear knob as
the force exerted, even if slight, may wear
the internal components of the gearbox over
time.
GEARBOX AND STEERING WHEELSTEERING WHEEL REACH ADJUSTMENT

With the vehicle stationary, first adjust your
seat to the most suitable position.

Parking sensors


AUDIBLE REAR PARKING SENSORS

If fitted on your vehicle, the system consists
of four proximity sensors, installed in the
rear bumper.
They detect any obstacle: person, vehicle,
tree, fence, behind the vehicle during the
manoeuvre.
However, objects the size or thickness of
which are detected at the beginning of the
manoeuvre will no longer be detected at the
end of the manoeuvre: blind spots between
and below the sensors. Examples: stake,
roadworks cone or pavement post. Engage reverse gear
The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal of increasing frequency as the
vehicle approaches the obstacle.
When the distance between the rear of
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately thirty centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous.
The system cannot, in any circumstances,
take the place of the vigilance and
responsibility of the driver.
Stop the assistance

Change to neutral.


Malfunction

If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, contact a
CITROËN dealer.
If your vehicle is fitted
with this screen, a
message appears.


Good practice

In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow.

Reversing camera

Initial settings
With reverse gear not engaged,
press and hold the ON/OFF
button for approximately
3 seconds. The button flashes
twice to confirm the reinitialisation.

Alarm display on the screen
In the ON position, information in text
format accompanies the manoeuvre and is
displayed on the screen:


- each time reverse gear is engaged, a
message appears before the first view is
transmitted,

- at 11 mph (18 km/h) in reverse gear,
the rear view disappears and the
screen switches to "Stand by". The view
appears again when the vehicle returns
to a speed below 9 mph (15 km/h).


Change of language
With reverse gear not engaged, press
the ON/OFF button and any other button
simultaneously.
Scroll through the languages by pressing
ON/OFF.
When the language has been selected, wait
approximately 3 seconds for it to be stored.
Good practice
When vehicle conditions are optimum
(position on the road, loading level) the
maximum area of visibility covered by the
camera has a field depth approximately 3 m
long and 5.5 m wide.
The area of visibility may vary depending on
the external weather conditions (brightness,
rain, snow, fog, ...), the load in the vehicle
and the position of the vehicle on the road.
Please store the screen in its housing when
no longer in use.
When cleaning the camera and the screen,
avoid using a detergent or a tool which may
scratch the glass.
Use a non-abrasive cloth or a small brush.
Following a collision, if the screen glass has
cracked and allows liquid crystal to flow out:
do not touch it.
If you have come into contact with it, quickly
wash the contaminated part of the body with
soapy water.
Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the
screen repaired.

section of chapter 2.
Good practice

Driving with the suspension set too high or
too low risks damaging components under
the body.
The height may be adjusted automatically to
take account of changes of temperature or
loading.
You must avoid using this control in the
following circumstances:


- when working underneath the vehicle,

- when changing a wheel,

- when the vehicle is being transported by
lorry, train, ferry, boat, ...
Above 3 mph (5 km/h), the system
reactivates automatically.

Checks


CHECKS
Air filter and passenger compartment filter

A clogged passenger compartment fi lter may
reduce the performance of the air conditioning
system and generate undesirable odours. The
replacement intervals for these components
are indicated in the servicing booklet.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as often
if necessary, refer to the "Under the bonnet"
section of chapter 7.


Manual gearbox

Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
To check the main levels and certain
components, in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule, refer to
the pages of the servicing booklet which
correspond to your vehicle's engine.
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units as
important as the braking system, CITROËN
selects and offers specific products.
In order to avoid damaging the electrical
units, high pressure washing to clean the
engine compartment is strictly prohibited.
Parking brake

Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer.

Bleeding the water contained in
the Diesel filter
If this warning lamp comes on,
bleed the filter, otherwise bleed
regularly each time the engine oil
is changed.
To drain the water out, unscrew the bleed
screw or the water in Diesel sensor, located
at the base of the filter. Leave open until
all of the water has been drained out. Then
tighten the bleed screw or the water sensor.
HDi engines use advanced technology. All
work requires a special qualification which is
guaranteed by a CITROËN dealer.

Battery

At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Brake pads

Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
Unless there is a leak on the system, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear status

For any information relating to checking
the brake disc/drum wear status, contact a
CITROËN dealer.


Oil filter

Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the servicing schedule.
