DRIVING

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 sys-
tem, 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 gear selector, 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 accelerator progres-
sively. These attitudes contribute
towards a reduction in fuel con-
sumption and CO
2 emissions and
also helps reduce the background
traffi c noise.
When the traffi c is fl owing well,
and if you have cruise control,
make use of the system at speeds
above 25 mph (40 km/h).
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 defrost-
ing 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
moving off, particularly in winter;
your vehicle will warm up much
faster while driving.
As a passenger, if you avoid con-
necting 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.

CENTRAL UNLOCKING
A press on button A unlocks your vehicle.
This operation is confi rmed b
y the rapid fl ashing of the direction indicators
and the lighting of the interior lamp (if the function is activated). It can alsodeploy the exterior rear view mirrors.
CENTRAL LOCKING - CLOSING OF WINDOWS AND SUN
ROOF - DEADLOCKINGA short presson buttonB locks your vehicle.
Along presson buttonB locks your vehicle and closes the windows and the sun roof.Two successive presses on button Bdeadlocks the vehicle. It is then
impossible to open the doors from either inside or outside the vehicle.
This operation is confi rmed b
y the direction indicators illuminating for approx.
2 seconds and by the interior lamp switching off. This also folds the exterior
rear view mirrors.
If any of the doors, or the boot, is open or not properly closed, the centrallocking does not operate.



If closing the windows and sun roof using the remote control,the user must make sure that no person is preventing thewindows and/or sun roof from closing properly.
It is dangerous to operate the deadlocking when a personis in the vehicle as unlocking is impossible from the inside(without the remote control).

control on the ASSISTA NCE card. Keep this in a safe place.
Do not throw away the old batteries. They should be returned to aCITROËN dealer or deposited at a recognised collection point (a camerarshop, for example).
Except when reinitialising, the remote control cannot function while the key is in the ignition,even when switched off.
Warning: by inadvertently actioning the remote control, when for example it is in your pocket,you can unlock the vehicle without your realising it.
However, if none of the doors are opened within thirty seconds following an unlocking, the doorswill automatically relock.
Warning: there is a risk of damage if the replacement battery is not the correct one.
Only use batteries that are identical or equivalent to those approved by CITROËN.

OPERATING THE ALARM
First make sure all the doors are closed.
The alarm is armed by pressing button Bon the remote control.
With the alarm armed, the protections are active after 5 seconds (perimeter) and 45 seconds (volumetric).
When the alarm is armed (on standby), any intrusion
will trigger the siren for 30 seconds, accompanied by
the direction indicators lighting up.
The alarm then
goes back on standby, but the triggering remains memorised and is signalled by the rapid fl ashing
of the warning lamp on control1 after you have deacti-
vated the alarm with a press on the unlocking button A.The fl ashing stops when you switch on the ignition.
The siren is also triggered if there is a cutting of the electrical supply. To stop it, restore the electrical supply
then press on the unlocking button A.Note:If you want to lock your vehicle without arming the
alarm, just lock with the key only.
If you lock your vehicle and a door, or the boot, is still open, the central locking does not operate but the alarm will arm itself after approx. 45 seconds.Note:The siren is automatically deactivated (for exam-ple for disconnecting the battery) as soon as the vehicle is unlocked using the remote control.

Deactivating the volumetric detection
You can operate the alarm with perimeter protection
only, by deactivating the volumetric protection (if for example you wish to leave an animal in the vehicle).
For this, switch o
ff the ignition then immediately pressbutton1 for at least one second.
The warning lamp on button1should come perma-nently on. It will start to fl ash when the alarm is armed.
Arm the alarm b
y locking your vehicle with the remotecontrol.
It is recommended to deactivate the volumetric detec-
tion when washing the vehicle in order to prevent the
random triggering of the alarm.
Automatic activation (according to destination)
The alarm is armed automatically, 2 minutes after the
last door, or the boot, has been closed.
In order to prevent the alarm from triggering when you
open one of the doors or the boot, it is essential to press
the unlocking button A again on the remote control.
