ECO-DRIVING
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2emis-sions.
Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gen-tly, 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 sud-denly.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between ve-hicles, use engine braking rather than the brake pedal, and press the accel-erator progressively. These practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions and also helps reduce the background traf-22
fi 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.
Control the use of your electrical equipment
Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate itby opening the windows and air ventsbefore using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close thewindows and leave the air ventsopen.
Remember to make use of equipmentthat can help keep the temperaturein the passenger compartment down(sun roof and window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unlessit has automatic digital regulation, assoon as the desired temperature is at-tained.
Switch off the demisting and defrost-ing controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon aspossible.
Switch off the headlamps and frontfoglamps when the level of light doesnot require their use.
Avoid running the engine before mov-ing off, particularly in winter; your ve-hicle will warm up much faster whiledriving.
As a passenger, if you avoid connect-ing your multimedia devices (fi lm, mu-sic, video game...), you will contributetowards limiting the consumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices be-fore leaving the vehicle.

SERVICE INDICATOR Resetting the service indicator to zero
Your CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop carries out this operation
after each service.
If you have carried out your vehicle's
service yourself, the zero reset
procedure is the following:
)
switch off the ignition.
)
press the INFO
button several times
in succession until the service indi-
cator is displayed.
)
press and hold the INFO
button for
a few seconds until the spanner
fl ashes
.
)
press the INFO
button while the
spanner is fl ashing to change the dis-
play "---"
to "CLEAR"
then the time
remaining before the next service is
due is displayed.
Service overdue
O
peration
When the ignition is switched on, you
must press the INFO
button several
times in succession until the service
indicator is displayed. The distance
recorder display line indicates the
number of miles (kilometres) remaining
and the time elapsed line indicates the
number of months remaining before the
next service is due.
After a certain distance and a certain
time, the display of "---"
is reinitialised
and the display indicates the time
remaining before the next service is
due. System which informs the driver when
the next service is due in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
The point at which the next service is
due is calculated from the last service
indicator zero reset.
It is determined by two parameters:
- the distance travelled (in miles (km)),
- the time elapsed since the last ser-
vice (in months).
The distance remaining to be travelled
may be weighted by the time factor,
depending on the user's driving habits.
Example:
the display indicates that
7 300 miles (kilometres) remain before
the next service is due.
The symbol "--"
remains displayed
until the fi rst service of a new vehicle
has been carried out.
Example:
the display indicates that the
service is overdue. This service must
be carried out by a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop. Each time the ignition is switched on,
the display "PERIODIC INSPECTION"
is displayed for a few seconds to
indicate that the service must be carried
out without delay.

TRIP COMPUTER Average fuel consumption (l/100 km or km/l or mpg)
This is the average fuel
consumption since the
last zero reset.
This fi gure may change following
a change in the style of driving or
the relief resulting in an increase
or decrease in the current fuel
consumption.
Average speed (km/h
or mph)
This is the average
speed calculated since
the last zero reset.
Resetting the information to zero
When the ignition is switched on, the
zero reset switches automatically from
manual mode to automatic mode.
If dashes "---" are displayed for long
periods in place of the digits while
driving, contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
Current fuel consumption(l/100 km or km/l or mpg)
This is the average fuel
consumption during the
last few seconds of driving.
Information display
With the ignition on, press the INFO
button on the dashboard, to the left
of the instrument panel, several times
in succession to display the different
information:

displayed, press the INFO
button for
more than two seconds to reset all of
the information to zero.
