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.

CVT GEARBOX

The six-speed automatic gearbox of-
fers a choice between the comfort of
automatic regulation or the pleasure of
manual gear changing.
This gearbox has two driving modes:


- an automated mode for automatic
control of the gears by the gearbox
and therefore without any action on
the part of the driver,

- a sequential mode for manual
changing of the gears by the driver
using the steering mounted controls
or the gear lever.
It consists of the following controls:


- a gear lever 1
on the centre console
for selecting the driving mode, reverse
gear and neutral or for changing gear
in sequential mode,

Stopping - Starting on a slope


Do not use the accelerator pedal to im-
mobilise the vehicle on a slope, apply
the parking brake instead.
When starting on a slope, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking
brake.


Switching to sequential mode

Once you have moved off, you can
switch to sequential mode by selecting
position +/-
.

"D"
disappears and the gears engaged
appear in succession in the instrument
panel screen.
The gear change requests are only carried
out if the engine speed permits it.
Take your foot off the accelerator pedal
gently to engage the gear.

Switching to automated mode


Automated mode
After using the sequential mode, you
can return to the automated mode by
selecting position D
.

"D"
appears in the instrument panel
screen.
The gearbox then operates in auto-active
mode, without any action on the part of
the driver.
It continuously selects the gear most
suited to the conditions of:


- driving style,

- road characteristics,

- vehicle load.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain
the most suitable gear, avoid sharp
variations in the pressure on the accel-
erator pedal.

Auto sequential mode
In the automated mode, you can take
over control temporarily at any time using
the steering mounted controls.
The use of these controls permits manual
selection of the gears in situations which
require a faster changedown than that
offered in automated mode (arrival at a
roundabout, exit from a car park with a
steep gradient, overtaking...). Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you
can:


- move to position N
to leave the
gearbox in neutral.

- leave a gear engaged, such as fi rst
or reverse.
In both cases, you must apply the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle.
Operating anomaly

With the ignition on, if the message "Slow
down"
or "Maintenance required"
ap-
pears in the multifunction screen, this indi-
cates a gearbox malfunction.
When a message is displayed, carry
out the following operations:


- slow down and stop your vehicle in
a safe place,

- place the lever in position N
and let
the engine run,

- open the bonnet to allow the engine
to cool.
If the message disappears for a long
period, you can set off again.
If the message remains displayed or
appears frequently, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop without
delay.
Press the brake pedal fi rmly
while starting the engine.

Start the engine. "N"
appears in the in-
strument panel screen.

Select fi rst gear (position D
or +/-
) or reverse
(position R
).

Release the parking brake.
Release the brake pedal then accelerate.

"D"
or "1"
or "R"
appear in the instrument
panel screen. The gearbox engages the gear re-
quested if the engine speed permits it.
The gear engaged appears.
To return to the automated mode, press
the back of the "+/OFF"
control for ap-
proximately 2 seconds.
At low speeds, when approaching a
stop or traffi c lights for example, the
gearbox changes down to fi rst gear au-
tomatically.

DCS GEARBOX
The six-speed electronically controlled
gearbox offers a choice between the
comfort of automatic regulation or the
pleasure of manual gear changing.
This gearbox has three driving modes:


- a manual
mode for changing of the
gears by the driver using the steering
mounted controls or the gear lever,

- a " Normal
" automatic mode for eco-
nomical control of the gears (every-
day use),

- a " Sport
" automatic mode which
permits a more dynamic style of
driving, with improved acceleration
and optimised engine braking.
When you move the lever in the gate
to select a position, the corresponding
indicator or message is displayed in the
instrument panel.

P.
Park.

R.
Reverse.

N.
Neutral.

D.
Drive (Automatic mode).

NORMAL.
Normal mode.

SPORT.
Sport mode.

"Normal" automatic mode


Select position D
.

"D"
appears in the instrument panel
screen.
The gearbox then operates in automatic
mode, without any action on the part of
the driver.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain the
most suitable gear, avoid sharp variations
in the pressure on the accelerator pedal.

"Temporary" manual mode
In automatic mode, you can take control
temporarily at any time using the steering
mounted controls.
The use of these controls permits man-
ual selection of the gears in situations
which require a faster change down
than that offered in automatic mode
(arrival at a roundabout, exit from a
car park with a steep gradient, overtak-
ing...).
The gearbox engages the gear re-
quested if the engine speed permits it.
The gear engaged appears.
To return to the automatic mode, press
the back of the "+/OFF"
control for at
least 2 seconds.



"Sport" automatic mode

From automatic mode, you can engage
"Sport" mode.
With the vehicle moving or stationary,
push the thumb wheel A
forward.

"SPORT"
appears in the instrument
panel screen.

Switching off "Sport" automatic mode
You can return to "Normal" automatic
mode at any time:
Push the thumbwheel A
rearward
once.
Before switching off the engine, you
must engage position P
or N
to place
the gearbox in neutral.
You must apply the parking brake to im-
mobilise the vehicle.
The gear lever must be in position P
to
remove the ignition key.
Stopping the vehicle
Hill start assist
To assist you when starting on a gradi-
ent, your vehicle is fi tted with a system
which immobilises it briefl y (approxi-
mately 2 seconds), the time required to
move your foot from the brake pedal to
the accelerator pedal. This function is
only active when the vehicle has been
completely immobilised with your foot
on the brake pedal and on certain gra-
dients.

Do not get out of the vehicle during
the hill start assist temporary immo-
bilisation phase.

To immobilise the vehicle on a gradient
for a longer period, you must use the
parking brake, not the accelerator.
When starting on a gradient, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking
brake.
