For economical driving, caring for the environment


The fuel consumptionof a vehicle varies greatly:


- according to the driver's style of driving
(moderate, aggressive, fast, ...),

- according to the type of journeys
made (urban, main road, motor way, flowing, heavy traffic, …) and the speed.


Main recommendations for driving economically


Hybrid mode selector

To optimise fuel consumption, use the Automodeof the selector whenever possible (the mode is activated
automatically when starting) including for urban journeys.
This mode optimises the use of the energy sources (internal combustion engine and/or electric) contrary to other modes, which are for use in par ticular cases.


Gear lever
Use the automatic
mode A
as much as possible as this optimises gear changes to suit the requirements.


Causes of high consumption and checks
As with any vehicle, limit overloading, wind resistance (windows open above 30 mph (50 km/h), roof rack, loaded or not, …), the use of power consumers (air conditioning, heated seats, heated rear screen, …).
Obser ve the recommendations on checks (regular check of tyre pressures, correct tyre pressures, …) and routine servicing.



Drive smoothly
Stay in the "eco" zonedisplayed in the energy consumption/generation indicator: accelerate gently, drive at steady speeds
using the speed limiter or cruise control as soon as possible. Use the "charge"zone: anticipate the need to slow down by taking your foot off the accelerator rather than braking. Themovement of the energy consumption/generation indicator needle (into the "charge" zone), shows the level of energy recovery.


Consumption history
See the impact of your style of driving and the type of journey by reviewing the history of your energy consumption.Refer to the "Multifunction screens" section.

Automatic restarting of the Diesel engine or ZEV
mode NOT available
- when maintaining a comfortabletemperature in the passenger compar tment (air conditioning, ...),- when using the vehicle after prolonged parking in a sunny area,- when demisting, - during sustained and sharp acceleration - in mountainous conditions (altitude), - when using the vehicle on a steep slope(car park ramp, ...),- when regenerating the par ticle emissionsfilter, for around 5 to 10 minutes every 300 miles (500 km) (or less for extended urban running. )- in certain engine temperature conditions or requirements, such as an enginetemperature that is too low for the ambientconditions. In ZEV mode, these conditions lead to animmediate change to AUTO mode.The Diesel engine is switched off automatically as soon as these conditions are lifted.
The main conditions are:


- if the gear lever is in position M,

- if the steering mounted gear change controlpaddles are operated,

- if the high voltage battery is not sufficientlycharged. At least 4 bars in ZEV mode soas to provide a cer tain distance (in AUTO mode, electric operation is available morebriefly with a lower state of charge),

- at 18 mph (30 km/h) after setting off (if the internal combustion engine has not already star ted since setting off),

- when the vehicle is on a slope, to retain engine braking from the internal combustion engine when the battery is fullycharged,

- when using engine braking from the internal combustion engine,

- when the fuel level enters the reserve zone(in the event of high consumption of this reser ve, inhibition of ZEV can continue for some time after refuelling).


Your vehicle is fitted with the most effectiveemissions control systems, in par ticular theParticle Emissions Filter (PEF). At regular inter vals your Diesel engine will produce energy for the self-cleaning of this filter.
During this PEF regeneration phase, electric running is purposely made unavailable.

43Hybrid system








ECO OFF switch


This function prevents the Diesel engine
being switched off and so ensures that a comfor table temperature can be maintained in
the passenger compar tment (air conditioning
running continuously).
On pressing the switch, the engine restar ts
immediately.
To return to normal operation, press the switch
a
gain.
After switching off the ignition, the vehicle
will return to normal operation (lamp in
the switch off).

Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2emissions.
Optimise the use of your
gearbox
Use automatic mode Aas much as possible
as this optimises gear changes to suit the circumstances.
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 CO2 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.


Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it byopening 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 canhelp keep the temperature in the passenger compartment down (sun roof and windowblinds...). Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic digital regulation, as soon as thedesired temperature is attained. Switch off the demisting and defrostingcontrols, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.


Switch off the headlamps and front foglampswhen the level of light does not requiretheir use.

Avoid running the Diesel engine when stationary, par ticularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, videogame...), you will contribute towards limitingthe consumption of electrical energy, and soof fuel.
Disconnect your por table devices beforeleaving the vehicle.

111Comfort
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines below: )
To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as wellas the air extractor located in the boot.
)
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation of the digital air conditioning system. )
Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a monthto keep it in perfect working order. )
Ensure that the passenger compar tment filter is in good condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section). We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by theoccupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).)
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to haveit checked regularly as recommended in the ser vicing booklet. )
If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
You can switch off the air conditioning (AC button) and stay in Automatic mode in order to limit fuel consumption. If misting appears while in this mode, you can switch the air conditioning back on temporarily to improve the situation.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off theair conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.












Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning


If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very high, firstventilate the passenger compar tment for a few moments. Put the air flow control at a setting high enough to quickly change the air in the passenger compartment. The air conditioning system does notcontain chlorine and does not present any danger to the ozone layer.


The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a dischargeof water under the vehicle which is
perfectly normal.

Dual-zone digital air conditioning
1. Automatic comfort programme

We recommend the use of one of
the three AUTO modes available:
they provide optimised regulation of
the temperature in the passenger compartment according to the comfort value
that you have chosen.
These three modes automatically control the system, according to the desired setting, while also maintaining the desired comfort value.
) Press the "AUTO"
button repeatedly:


- a first indicator lamp comes on; the "low"
setting mode is selected,

- a second indicator lamp comes on; the"medium" setting mode is selected,

- a third indicator lamp comes on; the
"high" mode setting is selected.

Use the "medium" and "high" settings in
preference to maintain the comfort level
at the rear.


When the engine is cold, the air flow will reach its optimum levelprogressively, taking account of the weather and the desired comfort levelso as to avoid too great a distributionof cold air. On entering the vehicle, if the interior temperature is much colder or warmer than the comfort value, there is noneed to change the value displayed in order to obtain the comfor t required.In all seasons, with the windows closedthe system corrects the differencein temperature automatically and asquickly as possible.
This s
ystem is designed to operate effectively
in all seasons, with the windows closed.
Automatic operation
The air conditioning can only operate when the hybrid system is active, except in STOP mode of Stop & Start.
