2011 Citroen DS3 fuel consumption

Exterior


Customising kits

These expressive stickers form par t of a range
of kits, very different one from another, which
allow you to create a unique and attractive
exterior for your vehicle.

Guide-me-home lighting

After switching off the ignition, under low
lighting conditions the headlamps remain on for
a few seconds to help you leave the vehicle.

Rear parking sensors

This system provides a warning when reversing
by detecting obstacles located behind the
vehicle.

Temporary puncture repair kit

This kit is a complete system consisting of a
compressor and a sealant cartridge, to allow
the temporary repair of a tyre.

Stop & Start

This system puts the engine
temporarily on standby during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic
jams, etc...). The engine restarts
automatically as soon as you want to
move off. The Stop & Star t system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions, and offers the comfor t of
complete silence when stationary.

Interior


Interior mood lighting

This subdued passenger compar tment lighting
improves visibility inside the vehicle in low
lighting conditions. It comprises several
lamps, located in the footwells and in the lower
dashboard storage compar tment.

Gear shift indicator

Associated with the manual gearbox, this
system suggests when to change up to obtain
optimum fuel consumption.

Scented air freshener

The scented air freshener diffuses the
selected fragrance throughout the passenger
compartment from its location in the ventilation
system.

Digital air conditioning

After setting the desired level of comfor t, the
system then automatically controls this level
according to the exterior climatic conditions.

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,
change up without waiting and drive by
changing up quite soon. If your vehicle has
the system, the gear shift indicator invites you
to change up; it is displayed in the instrument
panel, follow its instructions.

With an automatic or electronic gearbox, stay
in Drive "D"
or Auto "A"
, according to the
type of gear selector, without pressing the
accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.



Drive smoothly


Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use
engine braking rather than the brake pedal,
and press the accelerator progressively. These
attitudes contribute towards a reduction in fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions and also helps
reduce the background traffic noise.

When the traffic is flowing well, and if you
have cruise control, make use of the system at
speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h).



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 compar tment down (sun roof 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.

23

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 par ticular:


- 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 ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter...) and obser ve 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 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.

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 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.

more than two seconds.
Trips "1"
and "2"
are independent but their use
is identical.
For example, trip "1"
can be used for daily
figures, and trip "2"
for monthly figures.

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.

Languages

Once the "Languages" menu has been selected,
you can change the language used by the display
(Français, Italiano, Nederlands, Portugues,
Portugues-Brasil, Deutsch, English, Espanol).


Units

Once the "Units" menu has been selected,
you can change the units of the following
parameters:


- temperature (°C or °F),

- fuel consumption (l/100 km, mpg or km/l).
Once the fuel consumption units have
been set to mpg, the information in the
instrument panel screen on speed and
distance will also be in mph and miles. For safety reasons, configuration by the
driver of the multifunction screen must
only be done when stationary.


Display settings

Once the "Display settings" menu has been
selected, you can gain access to the following
settings:


- year,

- month,

- day,
