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
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 youto change up; it is displayed in the instrumentpanel, follow its instructions.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, stay in Drive "D"or Auto "A"
, according to the type of gearbox, without pressing theaccelerator 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 practices contribute towards a reductionin fuel consumption and CO2emissions andalso helps reduce the background traffic noise.


If your vehicle has cruise control, make useof the system at speeds above 25 mph(40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well.
Control the use of your electrical equipment


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 foglamps when the level of light does not require their use.

Avoid running the engine before moving off,particularly in winter; your vehicle will warmup 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.

Comfort
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 Maintenance and Warranty Guide. )
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.



If you want to prioritise heating, star tand leave the engine running bypressing ECO OFF.

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 comfort required. Inall seasons, with the windows closed the system corrects the differencein temperature automatically and asquickly as possible.
This s
ystem is designed to operate effectivelyin all seasons, with the windows closed.
Automatic operation
The air conditioning system operates when the engine is running.

4. Automatic visibilityprogramme


For maximum cooling or heating of thepassenger compar tment, it is possibleto exceed the minimum value 14 or themaximum value 28.)
Turn control 2or 3
to the left until "LO"is displayed or to the right until "HI"
is displayed. See "Front demistin
g - defrosting".


3. Driver's-passenger's side
settings
The driver and front passenger can each adjust the temperature to their requirements.
The value indicated on the display corresponds to a level of comfor t and not to a
temperature in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
)Turn control 2or 3to the left or to the right respectively to decrease or increase this
value.

A setting around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However, depending on your
requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 isnormal.
You are advised to avoid a left /right settingdifference of more than 3.

Manual operation

If you wish, you can make a different choice from that offered by the system by changing asetting. The "AUTO"
indicator lamps go off; theother functions, except the air conditioning, willstill be controlled automatically.)
Pressing the "AUTO"
button returns the system to completely automatic operation.
With Stop & Star t, when demisting hasbeen activated, the STOP mode is not available.

5. Air conditioning On/Off
)Press this button to switch off
the air conditioning.
Switchin
g the system off could result in
discomfort (humidity, condensation).)Press this button again to return to automatic operation of the air conditioning.The indicator lamp in the "A/C"
button comes on.


6. Air distribution adjustment
)Press one or more buttons todirect the air flow towards:


- t
he windscreen and side windows,

- the outer and centre air vents,

- th
e footwells.

You can combine the three orientations to obtain the desired air distribution.


7. Air fl ow adjustment
)Turn this control to the left todecrease the air flow or to theright to increase the air flow.
The air flow indicator lamps, between the two
fans, come on pro
gressively in relation to the
value requested.


8. Air intake/Air recirculation
Air recirculation enables the passenger compartment to be isolated from exterior odours
and smoke when external pollution is detected(if your vehicle is fitted with a pollution sensor).
It is activated automatically on operation of the screenwash.
It is inactive when the ambient temperature is
below 5 °C to avoid the risk of mistin
g in the
vehicle.


- The ri
ght hand indicator lamp on indicates that recirculation is controlled automatically.

- The left hand indicator lamp onindicates that recirculation is forced manually.

- Both indicator lamps off
indicates that recirculation is controlled automatically without
taking account of the detection
of pollution.

Without pollution sensor
If
your vehicle is not fitted with a
pollution sensor, press this button
to force recirculation manuall
y.

89Comfort
Switching the system off
)Turn the air flow control to theleft until all of the indicator lamps go off.
Avoid prolonged operation in interior air recirculation mode or driving for long periods with the system off (risk of condensation and deterioration of air quality). This action switches o
ff the air conditioning and
the ventilation.
Temperature related comfor t is no longer assured but a slight flow of air, due to the
movement of the vehicle, can still be felt.
) Modify the settings (temperature, air flow or
air distribution) or press the "AUTO"button
to reactivate the system with the values setbefore it was switched off.

9. Maximum air conditioning
)
If you want to quickly cool
the air in the passenger compartment, press this
button; "LO"is displayed.

To return to the previous settings, press the button again.
