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.
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 to
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 help 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
b

linds...).
Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps
when the ambient light level does not require
their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up
much faster while driving.
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.

A few definitions…
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.
If dashes are displayed continuously
while driving in place of the digits,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.This function is only displayed from
20
mph (30 km/h).
Range
(miles or km)
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 if it
exceeds 60 miles (100 km).

appear in succession on the
instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the
gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then
the actual gear engaged is displayed.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox selects gear 1
automatically.
It is not necessary to release the accelerator
when changing gear.
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M (manual) at any time.

Operating fault
In some cases, such as the maintaining of a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment, it may be useful to deactivate the
Stop & Start.
Deactivation can be requested at any time once
the ignition has been switched on.
If the engine is in STOP mode, it restarts
straight away.
The Stop & Start is reactivated automatically
each time the ignition is switched on.
Deactivation / Reactivation
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall. All of the instrument panel
warning lamps come on.
Depending on version, an alert message may
also be displayed asking you to put the gear
lever into position N and put your foot on the
brake pedal.
It is then necessary to switch off the ignition,
then restart the engine.
The Stop & Start requires a 12
V
battery with special technology and
specifications. All work on this type of
battery must be carried out exclusively
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
For more information on the 12 V
battery , refer to the corresponding
section. In the event of a malfunction with
the system, the "ECO OFF" switch
warning lamp flashes, then comes on
continuously.
With the switch on the dashboard
Pressing the switch again reactivates
the system. F

P
ress this switch.
Deactivation is confirmed by the illumination of
the indicator lamp in the control switch and the
display of a message. Driving on flooded roads
Before driving through a flooded road,
it is strongly recommended that you
deactivate the Stop & Start system.
For more information on Driving
advice
, particularly on flooded roads,
refer to the corresponding section. Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
system to avoid the risk of injury
related to an automatic change to
START mode.

qualified workshop.
The indicator lamp in the switch goes off,
accompanied by the display of a message.

Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Engine oil level
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two services (or oil changes). CITROËN
recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles so equipped, or
using the dipstick.
Take care when working under the
bonnet, as certain areas of the engine
may be extremely hot (risk of burns)
and the cooling fan could start at any
time (even with the ignition off).
The location of the dipstick is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.

To ensure that the reading is correct,
your vehicle must be parked on a level
sur face with the engine having been off
for more than 30 minutes.
Oil grade
Before topping up the oil or changing the oil,
check that the oil is the correct grade for your
engine and conforms to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Checking using the dipstick
F Refit the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to make the visual check:
the correct level is between the marks A
and B .
