2011 Citroen DS3 ECO mode

A few definitions…


Range

(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
which can still be travelled with the fuel
remaining in the tank in relation to the average
fuel consumption over the last few miles
(kilometres) travelled.

Current fuel consumption

(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)

This is the average fuel consumption
during the last few seconds.

Average fuel
consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel consumption since the
last trip computer zero reset.


Average speed

(mph or km/h)
This is the average speed calculated
since the last trip computer zero reset
(ignition on).


Distance travelled

(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
travelled since the last trip computer zero reset.









Stop & Start time
counter
(minutes /sec onds or hour s /minutes)
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start, a time
counter calculates the time spent in STOP
mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the key.
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).
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 when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).


Distance remaining to
destination
(miles or km)
This is the distance remaining to be travelled
to the final destination. It can be entered by
the user.
If the distance is not entered, dashes are
displayed in place of the digits.

Automatic operation


1. Automatic "comfort"
programme
Press the "AU TO "
button. The
"AU TO "
symbol is displayed.
We recommend that you use
this mode. It provides optimised
automatic control of all of the following
functions: passenger compar tment
temperature, air flow, air distribution and air
intake, in accordance with the comfort value
that you have chosen.
This system is designed to operate effectively
in all seasons, with the windows closed. For your comfor t, when the engine is
switched off, the settings are retained
until the engine is switched on again.
To prevent too great a distribution of
cold air when the engine is cold, the air
flow will only reach its optimum level
gradually.


2. Temperature adjustment

The value indicated on the display corresponds
to a level of comfor t and not to a temperature in
degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. On entering the vehicle, if the interior
is very cold or hot, there is no need to
change the value displayed in order
to reach the required level of comfor t.
The system corrects the temperature
difference automatically and as quickly
as possible.
Press the "



"
and "



"
buttons to
change this value. A setting around
the value 21
enables optimum
comfor t to be obtained. However,
depending on your requirements, a
setting between 18 and 24 is usual.

may not be sufficient for rapid
demisting or defrosting of the

Gear shift indicator *
System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up on vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox.


Operation

The system inter venes only when driving
economically.
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one or more gears. You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory. In fact, the
configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors when
choosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.

- The system may suggest that you engage a
higher gear, if appropriate.
The information appears in the instrument
panel screen in the form of an arrow
accompanied by the suggested gear.

In the case of driving which makes
particular demands on the performance
of the engine (firm pressure on the
accelerator pedal, for example, when
over taking...), the system will not
recommend a gear change.
The system never suggests:


- engaging first gear,

- engaging reverse gear,

- engaging a lower gear.



*
According to engine.
Example:


- You are in third gear.

- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
