Tyre under-inflation detection

The tyre under-infl ation detection sys-
tem is a driving aid which informs you
of the state of your tyres.
It does not replace either vigilance or
responsibility on the part of the driver.

Economy mode

After switching off the engine, some sys-
tems (radio, wipers, electric windows,
opening roof, electric seats, telephone,
video, interior lighting, motorised tail-
gate, etc.) are supplied electrically for a
maximum of no more than around one
hour, so as to avoid discharging the
battery.
This period may be reduced considerably
if the battery's state of charge is low.
Once this period is over, a message
is displayed in the instrument panel
screen and the active functions are
placed on standby.
These functions will be automatically re-
activated when the vehicle is restarted.

ECO-DRIVING

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 effi ciency indicator invites you to
change up; it is displayed in the instru-
ment panel, follow its instructions.

With an automatic or electronic gear-
box, stay in Drive "D"
or Auto "A"
, ac-
cording to the type of gearbox, without
pressing the accelerator pedal heavily
or suddenly.



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 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.



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 win-
dows 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 air conditioning, unless
it has automatic digital regulation, as
soon as the desired temperature is at-
tained.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting
controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as
possible.

Switch off the headlamps and front fo-
glamps when the level of light does not
require their use.
Avoid running the engine before mov-
ing off, particularly in winter; your ve-
hicle will warm up much faster while
driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connect-
ing your multimedia devices (fi lm, mu-
sic, video game...), you will contribute
towards limiting the consumption of
electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices be-
fore leaving the vehicle.
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions.

TRIP COMPUTER
System which provides current in-
formation concerning your journey
(range, consumption, etc.)



Information displays
Trip zero reset
The trip computer is displayed in the
instrument panel screen.


)
Turn the left-hand thumb wheel A

on the steering wheel to display
the various trip computer tabs in
succession:


- the current information tab is
displayed in zone B
of the in-
strument panel screen, with:


●
the range,

●
the current fuel consumption,

●
the digital speed reading or
the Stop & Start time counter.

- the trip "1"
tab is displayed in
zone C
of the instrument panel
screen, with:


●
the distance travelled,

●

the average fuel consumption,


●
the average speed,
for the fi rst trip.

- the trip "2"
tab is displayed in
zone C
of the instrument panel
screen, with:


●
the distance travelled,

●

the average fuel consumption,


●
the average speed,
for the second trip.




)
When the trip required is dis-
played, press the left-hand thumb
wheel on the steering wheel for
more than two seconds.
Trips "1"
and "2"
are independent
but their use is identical.
For example, trip "1"
can be used for
daily fi gures and trip "2"
for monthly
fi gures.

A few definitions
(trip computer)

Range
(miles or km)
Current fuel
consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)

Average fuel
consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)

Average speed
(mph or km/h)
Distance travelled
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance which
can still be travelled with the fuel re-
maining in the tank in relation to the
average fuel consumption over the
last few miles (kilometres) travelled.
This value may vary following a
change in the style of driving or
the relief, resulting in a signifi cant
change in the current fuel con-
sumption.
When the range falls below 20 miles
(30 km), dashes are displayed. After
fi lling with at least 5 litres of fuel,
the range is recalculated and is dis-
played when it exceeds 60 miles
(100 km).
If dashes are displayed continu-
ously while driving in place of the
digits, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop. This function is only displayed from
20 mph (30 km/h). This is the average fuel consump-
tion during the last few seconds.
This is the average fuel consump-
tion since the last trip computer zero
reset.
This is the average speed calculated
since the last trip computer zero reset
(ignition on). This indicates the distance travelled
since the last trip computer zero reset.








Stop & Start time
counter
(minutes / seconds or hours /
minutes)
If your vehicle is fi tted with Stop &
Start, a time counter calculates the
time spent in STOP mode during a
journey.
It resets to zero every time the igni-
tion is switched on with the key.
