2010 CITROEN DS4 fuel consumption

10
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.

Limit the causes of excess
consumption
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.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and
refit your summer tyres.
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:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment
filter...) and observe the schedule of operations
recommended in the manufacturer's service
schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty your vehicle becomes
polluting; go to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop without delay to have the
emissions of nitrogen oxides brought back to
the legal level. When refuelling, do not continue after the third
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.

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).
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
Stop & Star t time counter
(minutes / seconds or hours /
minutes)
Calculated since the last trip computer reset.
Calculated over the last few seconds.
The distance which can still be travelled with
the fuel remaining in the tank (at the average
fuel consumption seen over the last few miles
(kilometres) travelled).
Calculated since the last trip computer reset.
Distance travelled
(miles or km)
Calculated since the last trip computer reset.
A time counter calculates the time spent in
STOP mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on.
