In order to be programmed or activated, the
vehicle speed must be higher than 25 mph (40 km/h), with at least fourth gear engaged on a manual gearbox (second gear for the 6 -speed
electronic gearbox system or automatic gearbox).

Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2emissions.
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 shift indicator invites youto change up; it is displayed in the instrumentpanel, follow its instructions.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, stay in Drive "D"or Auto "A"
, according to the type of gearbox, without pressing theaccelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather than the brake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. These practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2emissions and also helpsreduce the background traffic noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing 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 windowsand leave the air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment that can help keep the temperature in thepassenger compar tment down (sunroof and window blinds...). Switch off the air conditioning, unless it hasautomatic 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.

Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; placethe heaviest items in the bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats. Limit the loads carried in the vehicle andreduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference. Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres andrefit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, whencold, referring to the label in the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in par ticular:
- before a long journey,
- at each change of season,
- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engineoil, oil filter, air filter...) and obser ve theschedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.
When refuelling, do not continue after the 3 rdcut-off of the nozzle to avoid any overflow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settledown to a consistent average.
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 warmup much faster while driving.
As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, videogame...), you will contribute towards limitingthe consumption of electrical energy, and soof fuel. Disconnect your por table devices beforeleaving the vehicle.

Reminder of the ser vicing information.
These functions are displayed successively
on switching on the ignition, after the
welcome sequence and before display of
the active available functions.
Alert or information messages may be displayed temporarily.
This
group of controls allows:
-
when stationary
, configuration of theyvehicle, central screen and instrument
panel parameters (driving and comfor t
systems, language, units, sounds...),
-
when stationary and while driving,scrolling the active functions available(trip computer, navigation-guidance...).
Controls
There is a button and a thumb wheel to control
the central screen in the instrument panel:
A.button on the end of the wiper stalk: run through the various active functionsavailable. B.thumb wheel on the left of the steering column,
- rotation (other than menu): scroll through
the list of active functions available,
- press: main menu, confirm the selection,
- rotation
(in a menu): move up or down in
the menu.

Approaching the maximum engine speed,
the bars are displayed in red and flash,
to indicate to you the need to change up a gear.

Choice of sounds
This menu allows you to choose a family of polyphonic sounds from the four available.
These sounds are grouped together in a familyand are adapted to suit the situation andcontext (alert, confirmation, rejection, direction
indicators, lighting left on, key in ignition...).
Display confi guration
This menu is used to configure:
- the display language of the central screen,
from a pre-defined list,
- the units: temperature
(°Celsius or °Fahrenheit) and fuel consumption(l/100 km, mpg or km/l),
- the graphical presentation of the central
screen, from a pre-defined list.

43Monitoring
Visual indicators which inform the driver of theoccurrence of a malfunction (warning lamp)or of the operation of a system (operation or
deactivation indicator lamp).
Warning and indicator lamps
When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched on. When the engine is started, these warninglamps should go off.
If they remain on, before moving off, refer to the information on the warning lamp in question.
Associated warnings
The illumination, fixed or flashing, of cer tain
warning lamps may be accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in the
multifunction screen or in the type 2 instrument
panel central screen.
Page 46 of 396
When the engine is running or the vehicle is
being driven, the illumination of one of the following warning lamps indicates a malfunction
which requires action on the par t of the driver.
The warning comes on in the instrument panel
or appears in the t
ype 2 instrument panel central screen.
If your vehicle has a screen, a warning lamp coming on is always accompanied by the display of an additional message, to assist you in identifying the problem.If you encounter any problems, do not hesitate to contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

fixed, alone or associated with
another warning lamp,
accompanied by an
audible si
gnal and a
message in the screen. Illumination o
f this warning lamp is
associated with a serious brakingsystem, power steering, enginelubrication or cooling system
malfunction or a punctured tyre.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so as there is a risk that
the engine will cut out while driving.
Park, switch off the ignition and contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Maximum coolanttemperature
fixed red. The temperature of the cooling system is too high. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait until the engine has cooled down before toppingup the level, if necessary.
If the problem persists, contact a CITROËN dealer or qualified workshop.
Engine oil pressure
fixed. There is a fault with the enginelubrication system. You must stop as soon it is safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
