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.

Limit the causes of excess 
consumption 
   
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; 
place the heaviest items in the bot-
tom 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 refi t 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: 
   
 
-   before a long journey, 
   
-   at each change of season, 
   
-   after 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 fi lter,  air fi lter...)  and 
observe the schedule of operations 
recommended by the manufacturer.  
 
    
When refuelling, do not continue after 
the 3 rd  cut-off of the nozzle to avoid 
any overfl ow.  
   
At the wheel of your new vehicle, 
it is only after the fi rst 1 800 miles 
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see 
the fuel consumption settle down to 
a consistent average.  
  

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
92 -
ECONOMY MODE FUNCTION 
  After the engine has stopped, with 
the key in the "accessories" position, 
certain functions (windscreen wiper, 
electric windows, courtesy lights, 
audio equipment, etc.) can only be 
used for a combined duration of ap-
proximately thirty minutes, to prevent 
discharging the battery. 
  Once the thirty minutes are over, a 
switching to economy mode mes-
sage appears on the multi-function 
display and the active functions are 
put on standby. 
  These functions are reactivated au-
tomatically next time the vehicle is 
driven. 
  In order to resume the use of these 
functions immediately, the engine 
must be started and left to run for a 
few minutes. 
  The time available to you will then 
be double the duration for which the 
engine is left running. However, this 
period will always be between fi ve 
and thirty minutes. 
BATTERY
   
It is advisable to disconnect the 
battery if the vehicle is not to be 
used for a period of more than 
one month. 
 
 
 
Before disconnecting the bat-
tery, you must wait 2  minutes 
after switching off the ignition. 
  Never disconnect a terminal 
when the engine is running. 
  Never charge a battery without fi rst 
disconnecting the terminals. 
  Close the windows and the roof before 
disconnecting the battery. 
  After every reconnection of the bat-
tery, switch on the ignition and wait 
1 minute before starting to allow the 
electronic systems to be initialised. If 
slight diffi culties are experienced af-
ter this, please contact a CITROËN 
dealer.  
 
  A fl at battery prevents the 
engine from starting.    
To start the vehicle from 
another battery: 
   
 
-   Connect the red cable to the posi-
tive (+) terminals of the two bat-
teries, 
   
-   Connect one end of the green or 
black cable to the negative (-) ter-
minal of the slave battery, 
   
-   Connect the other end of the 
green or black cable to an earth 
point on the broken down vehi-
cle as far as possible from the 
battery (for example, right-hand 
engine mounting).  
 Operate the starter, let the engine run. 
 
Wait for the engine to return to idle, 
then disconnect the cables. 
   
To charge the battery using a 
battery charger: 
   
 
-   Disconnect the battery, 
   
-   Follow the instructions for use 
given by the battery charger man-
ufacturer, 
   
-   Reconnect starting with the nega-
tive (-) terminal, 
   
-   Check that the terminals and 
connectors are clean. If they are 
covered with sulphate (white or 
greenish deposit), disconnect 
them and clean them.

ommended accessories and original 
parts is offered. 
   
The fi tting of electrical equip-
ment or accessories which

Automobiles CITROËN may 
result in the failure of your vehicle's 
electronic system. Please note this 
specifi c warning. You are advised 
to contact a representative of the 
Marque to be shown the range of 
recommended equipment and ac-
cessories. 
  Depending on the country in which 
the vehicle is sold or operated, it is 
compulsory to have a high visibility

  Regardless of the audio and telemat-
ic equipment offered on the market, 
the technical constraints linked with 
the fi tting of equipment of these fami-
lies of products mean that the spe-
cial features of the equipment and 
its compatibility with the capacities 
of the your vehicle's standard equip-
ment must be taken into account. 
Please contact a CITROËN dealer 
for information before fi tting  such 
equipment.

-   ensure that the mat and its fi xings 
are positioned correctly, 
   
-  
never fi t one mat on top of another.  
 
 
 
For any work on your vehicle, 
use a qualifi ed workshop that 
has the technical information, 
competence and equipment 
required, which a CITROËN dealer 
is able to provide.    The CITROËN Network will inform 
you of the specifi cations  (frequency 
band, maximum output power, aerial 
position, specifi c installation condi-
tions) of the transmitters which can be 
fi tted, in accordance with the Motor 
Vehicle Electromagnetic Compatibility 
Directive (2004/104/CE).
