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 effi ciency
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.



Drive smoothly


Maintain a safe distance between
vehicles, use engine braking rather than
the brake pedal, and press the acce-
lerator 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
windows and leave the air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment
that can help keep the temperature in
the passenger compartment down (sun
roof and window blinds...).
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.

Switch off the headlamps and front
foglamps when the level of light does
not require their use.
Avoid running the engine before mo-
ving off, particularly in winter; your
vehicle will warm up much faster while
driving.

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.

A few definitions…


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 calculat-
ed 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.

MONITORING












Total distance recorder

System which measures the total
distance travelled by the vehicle
during its life.
The total and trip distances are dis-
played for thirty seconds when the
ignition is switched off, when the
driver's door is opened and when
the vehicle is locked or unlocked.

In order to observe legislation,
change the units of distance (miles
or km) to those for the country you
are passing through, using the con-
fi guration menu.











Lighting dimmer

System for manual adjustment of
the brightness of the instruments
and controls in relation to the exte-
rior brightness.

Operation


)

mode on vehicles fi tted with daytime
running lamps, pressing the buttons
does not have any effect.



Trip distance recorder

System which measures a distance
travelled during a day or other pe-
riod since it was reset to zero by the
driver.


)
With the ignition on, press the
button until zeros appear.

COMFORT
It controls the temperature, air fl ow
and intake and distributes the ven-
tilation to the windscreen and front
side windows.
Resuming manual control exits from
"Demisting" mode. It must be can-
celled to permit renewal of the air
in the passenger compartment and
demisting.

Once the screen is clear, pressing
control 1
returns the system to "AUTO"

mode.



)
Press control 7
, with
the engine running,
to demist the rear
screen and the door
mirrors. The indicator
lamp comes on.
Demisting is switched off automatically
to prevent an excessive consumption
of current and in relation to the ambient
temperature.
It may be stopped by pressing
control 7
again or when the engine
is switched off.
7. Rear demisting - defrosting
The heated rear screen operates
independently of the air conditioning
system.
8. Intake of exterior air/
Recirculation of interior air
This function enables you to isolate
the passenger compartment from
exterior fumes and odours.


- When starting with the engine
cold, the fl ow will reach its op-
timum level gradually to pre-
vent an excessive distribution
of cold air.

- When entering the vehicle af-
ter it has been parked for a
fairly long period, if the inte-
rior temperature is very differ-
ent from your comfort setting
there is no need to change
the temperature displayed
in order to quickly reach the
level of comfort required. The
system automatically uses its
maximum performance to cor-
rect the difference in tempera-
ture as quickly as possible.

- The water resulting from the
air conditioning condensation
is discharged via an open-
ing provided for this purpose;
therefore, a puddle of water
may form underneath the ve-
hicle when stationary.

- In all seasons, if the weather
is cool, the air conditioning
is useful as it removes the
humidity from the air and the
condensation. Avoid driving
for prolonged periods with the
air conditioning switched off.

However, demisting resumes when
the engine is switched on again.
Switch off the rear screen and door
mirrors demisting when you consider
this necessary as low current con-
sumption reduces fuel consumption.


)
Press control 8
several
times to set the air in-
take mode, the indica-
tor lamp comes on.


It must be cancelled as soon as
possible to permit renewal of the
air in the passenger compartment
and demisting.








With Stop & Start, when demisting
has been activated, the STOP mode
is not available.

ACCESS





ALARM *

System which protects and provides
a deterrent against theft and break-
ins. It provides the following types of
monitoring:


- Exterior perimeter
The system checks for opening of
the vehicle.
The alarm is triggered if anyone tries
to open a door, the boot, the bonnet...




- Interior volumetric
The system checks for any variation
in the volume in the passenger com-
partment.
The alarm is triggered if anyone breaks a window, enters the passenger com-
partment or moves inside the vehicle.




- Tilt
The system checks for any change
in the attitude of the vehicle.
The alarm is triggered if the vehicle
is lifted, moved or knocked.



Self-protection function
The system checks for the
putting out of service of its
components.
The alarm is triggered if the bat-
tery, the central control or the si-
ren wiring are put out of service or
damaged.
For all work on the alarm system,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.

interior volumetric and anti-tilt moni-
toring after a delay of 45 seconds.
If an opening (door, boot...) is not
closed fully, the vehicle is not locked
but the exterior perimeter monitor-
ing will be activated after a delay of
45 seconds at the same time as the
