2012 CITROEN C-CROSSER fuel consumption

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.

Limit the causes of excess consumption

Spread loads throughout the vehicle;place the heaviest items in the bottomof the boot, as close as possible to therear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicleand reduce wind resistance (roof bars,roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Usea roof box in preference.

Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.

At the end of winter, remove snowtyres and refi t your summer tyres.


Observe the recommendations on maintenance

Check the tyre pressures regularly,when cold, referring to the label in thedoor 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 thetyres on any trailer or caravan.


Have your vehicle serviced regularly(engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and ob-serve the schedule of operations rec-ommended by the manufacturer.
When refuelling, do not continue after the 3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoidany overfl ow.


At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is onlyafter the fi rst 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres)that you will see the fuel consumption set-tle down to a consistent average.

With the ignition on, press the INFO

button, located on the dashboard to the
right of the instrument panel, to display
the various information in succession:


- distance recorder A,

- distance recorder B,

- service indicator,

- coolant temperature,

- range,

- trip computer,

- setting menu. This displays the dis-
tance and the number of
months remaining before
the next service in line
with with the manufac-
turer’s servicing sched-
ule (refer to the "Service
indicator" section).
Service indicator
When the engine is run-
ning, this indicates the
temperature of the cool-
ant (refer to the "Coolant
temperature indicator"
section).
Coolant temperature When the engine is
running, this indicates
the number of miles
(kilometres) which can
still be travelled with the
fuel remaining in the tank
based on the average
fuel consumption over
the last few miles (kilometres) travelled
(refer to the "Range" section).
Range
This indicates the aver-
age fuel consumption,
the average speed and
the current fuel con-
sumption (refer to the
"Trip computer" section).
Trip computer

When the vehicle is sta-
tionary
, this allows the
user to change the follow-
ing settings (refer to the
"Setting menu" section):


- the display language,

- the temperature dis-
play units,

- the fuel consumption units,

- the option to reset the average
fuel consumption and the average
speed,

- the break (rest) reminder display in-
terval.

DISTANCE RECORDERS (A/B)

System for measuring the total distance
travelled by the vehicle during its
service life and the distance travelled in
a day or other period until it is reset to
zero by the driver.
Zero reset
With the ignition on, press the INFO
button for more than 2 seconds until
zeros appear. When the engine is
running, this indicates
the temperature of the
coolant.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE
If the bar is close to the critical
position
located on the right, the temperature is
too high.
The symbol fl ashes when your engine
is overheating.

You must stop your vehicle as soon
as it is safe to do so.


Wait a few minutes before switching
off the engine.

Wait for the engine to cool before
topping up the level. The cooling
system is pressurised.
When the engine is
running
, this indicates
the distance which can
still be travelled with the
fuel remaining in the tank
based on the average
fuel consumption over the
last few miles/kilometres
travelled.
RANGE
When the range is less than 30 miles
(50 km)
, dashes are displayed.
Refuel as soon as possible. The display
of the range is updated.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the
pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap and top up the level, if
necessary.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop. This fi gure may increase following a
change in the style of driving or the
relief, resulting in a reduction in the
current fuel consumption.
If you only add a few litres, the
value displayed will be incorrect.
Therefore, you must fi ll the tank
whenever possible.
When you disconnect the
battery, the previous fuel
consumption data is lost and the
value displayed will be different from
that displayed before the battery was
disconnected. The distance displayed
must be considered an approximate
indication.

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 a change in the cur-
rent 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 fuelconsumption (l/100 kmor km/l or mpg)

This is the average fuel
consumption during the
last few seconds of driving.
Information display
