FAMILIARISATION
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 gearbox, without pressing
the accelerator pedal heavily or
suddenly.



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 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.


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 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.


As a passenger, if you avoid
connecting your multimedia devices
(fi lm, 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.
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.

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 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.

Good practice

Take care not to allow the remote
control to come into contact with
grease, dust, rain or a damp
environment.
A heavy object attached to the key
(keyring, ...) weighing on the shaft of
the key in the switch, may cause a
malfunction.

REMOTE CONTROL
Reinitialising the remote control

Following changing of the remote
control battery or disconnection of the
vehicle battery, the remote control may
have to be reinitialised.
Wait at least one minute before using
the remote control.
Insert the key in the ignition switch with
the buttons (padlocks) of the remote
control facing you.
Switch on the ignition.
Press the locking padlock for at
least fi ve seconds within the next
ten seconds.
Switch off the ignition.
Wait at least one minute before using
the remote control.
The remote control is now working
again. Use only identical batteries or
batteries of an equivalent type to those
recommended by CITROËN dealers.
Do not discard the remote control
batteries, they contain metals which
are harmful to the environment.
Deposit them at a CITROËN
dealership, or at an authorised
collection point.


Folding/unfolding the key

Changing the battery

Battery ref.: CR1620 / 3 volts.
The "battery fl at" information is given
by an audible signal, accompanied by
a message in the screen.
To replace the battery, unclip the
casing using a coin at the ring.
If the remote control does not work
after the battery has been changed,
reinitialise the remote control.
There is a risk of damage if the
replacement battery is not the correct
type Press this button to release
the key from its housing.
To fold the key, press this
chromed button then fold

Good practice

Do not make any modifi cations to the
electronic immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even
when it is in your pocket, may result in
involuntary unlocking of the doors.
The simultaneous use of other
high frequency equipment (mobile
telephones, domestic alarms…), may
interfere with the operation of the
remote control temporarily.
The remote control does not operate
while the key is in the ignition, even if
the ignition is off.
ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER

All of the keys contain an electronic
immobiliser device.
This device locks the engine supply
system. It is activated automatically
when the key is removed from
the ignition.
After the ignition is switched on, a
dialogue is established between the
key and the electronic immobiliser
system.
The metal part of the key must be
unfolded correctly for correct dialogue
to take place.

If you lose your keys
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the
vehicle's V5 registration document and
your identifi cation document.
A CITROËN dealer will be able
to retrieve the key code and
the transponder code so that a
replacement key can be ordered.
When leaving the vehicle, check that
the lamps are off and nothing of value
is visible.
As a safety precaution (with children
on board), remove the key from the
ignition when leaving the vehicle, even
for a short time.
When purchasing a second-hand
vehicle:



- have the keys memorised by a
CITROËN dealer to ensure that
the keys in your possession are
the only ones which can start the
vehicle.

From the inside

Unlock and open the side door using
this handle, guiding the rearward
sliding to the point of resistance. Pass
this point to hold the door open.


Good practice

Take care not to block the guide space
on the fl oor to allow the door to slide
correctly.
If your vehicle is parked on a slope,
guide the sliding of the side door. In
fact, the door could open or close more
rapidly due to the slope of the ground
and could cause injury.
For safety and operation reasons, do
not drive with the sliding side door
open.


From the outside

Pull the handle towards you then
towards the rear and open the side
door, guiding the rearward sliding to
beyond the point of resistance to hold
it open.







Operation in the event of a
battery failure

Front and side passenger doors
In the event of a battery or of the
central locking fault, use the lock to
lock the doors mechanically.


- To open the door and get out of the
vehicle, pull the interior control.

- To lock the door, insert the key in
the lock, located on the edge of the
door, then turn it one eighth of a
turn
.


Driver's door


- Insert the key in the lock, then turn
it to the right to lock or to the left to
unlock.

Access

In practice

It is possible to drive with the right-
hand door open to make it easier to
carry long loads. The left-hand door is
kept closed by the distinctive "yellow"
lock, positioned at the base of the door.
This closed door must not be used as
a load retainer.
Driving with the right-hand door open
is a special dispensation. Comply with
the usual safety indications to warn
other drivers.

HINGED REAR DOORS


From outside

Pull the lever to open the right-hand
door.
To close, start with the right-hand door
then close the left-hand door.
To open, pull the handle towards you. The hinged rear doors are
asymmetrical (2/3 - 1/3), with the
smaller door on the right.
They are fi tted with a central lock.
With the roof rear fl ap, the rear
bumper has been reinforced to
serve as a footrest when entering
the vehicle.
