ECO-DRIVING
  Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emis-
sions. 
   
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 effi ciency indicator invites you to 
change up; it is displayed in the instru-
ment panel, follow its instructions.  
   
With an automatic or electronic gear-
box, 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 ve-
hicles, use engine braking rather than 
the brake pedal, and press the accel-
erator progressively. These practices 
contribute towards a reduction in fuel 
consumption and CO
2 emissions and 
also helps reduce the background 
traffi c noise.  
   
If your vehicle has cruise control, 
make use of the system at speeds 
above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the 
traffi c is fl owing 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 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 con-
necting your multimedia devices 
(fi lm, music, video game...), you will 
contribute towards limiting the con-
sumption of electrical energy, and so 
of fuel. 
  Disconnect your portable devices be-
fore leaving the vehicle.  
  

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
78 -
CHECKS   
Oil filter 
 
Change the fi lter regularly, in accord-
ance with the servicing schedule.  
  Only use products recom-
mended by CITROËN or 
products of equivalent quality 
and specifi cations. 
  To ensure best performance from 
components as important as the 
power steering and the braking sys-
tem, CITROËN selects and offers 
quite specifi c products. 
  To prevent damage to the electrical 
units, avoid washing the engine.  
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL)
 
If you should run out of fuel, it is nec-
essary to re-prime the circuit: 
   
 
-  fi ll the fuel tank with at least fi ve litres 
of diesel, 
   
-   squeeze and release the manual 
re-priming pump, under the bonnet 
under the protective cover, until fuel 
appears in the transparent pipe, 
   
-   operate the starter until the engine 
starts.  
FUEL SUPPLY CUT-OFF(PETROL) 
 
In a serious collision, a mechanism prevents 
fuel from reaching the engine. 
 To re-establish the fuel supply, press 
the switch on the corner of the front 
right-hand suspension assembly, under
the bonnet.
 
   
Air filter and passenger 
compartment filter 
  Have the fi lter elements replaced regu-
larly.  If you drive in dusty conditions, 
change them twice as often.   
 
 
 
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.  
 
 
Disc and drum wear status 
 
For any information relating to check-
ing the disc and drum wear status, 
contact a CITROËN dealer.  
 
 
Manual gearbox 
 
This does not require an oil change. 
Check the level in accordance with the 
manufacturer's servicing schedule. 
   
To check the main levels and cer-
tain components, in accordance 
with the manufacturer's servicing 
schedule, refer to the pages of 
the servicing booklet which corre-
spond to your vehicle's engine. 
 
 
 
Handbrake 
 
Where the handbrake travel is too 
great or there is a reduction in the 
performance of the system, the 
handbrake should be adjusted, even 
between services. 
  Have the system checked by a 
CITROËN dealer.  
 
 
Battery 
 
At the start of winter, have your battery 
checked by a CITROËN dealer.   

95 PRACTICAL INFORMATION
-
   
Without lifting
(four wheels on the ground) 
  You must always use a towbar.  
   
By lifting
(two wheels only on the ground) 
  It is preferable to lift the vehicle by 
the wheels.  
 
TOWING YOUR VEHICLE  
 
 
From the front or the rear 
  Attach the towbar to the towing eye.     
Never use the radiator cross-
member. 
  When towing another vehicle, 
it must freewheel. 
  Place the gearbox in "neutral". 
  Failure to observe this instruction 
may result in damage to certain brak-
ing components and the absence of 
braking assistance when the engine 
is started again.
