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 and change up without waiting.
During acceleration change up early.

With an automatic or electronic gearbox, give preference to automatic
mode and avoid pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.

The gear efficiency indicator invites you engage the most suitable gear:
as soon as the indication is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it
straight away.
With an electronic or automatic gearbox, this indicator appears only in
manual mode.



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 CO
2
emissions and also helps reduce 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 windows 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 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 moving off, particularly in winter; your
vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices
(film, 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.

Operation indicator lamps

If one of the following indicator lamps comes on in the instrument panel and/or instrument panel screen, this confirms that the corresponding system has come into operation.

Lane departure warning system

System which, using a camera which
recognises solid or broken lines, detects the
involuntary crossing of longitudinal traffic lane
markings on the ground.
To provide safe driving, the camera analyses
the image then, if the driver's attention drops,
triggers a warning if the vehicle drifts over
a lane marking (speed higher than 50 mph
(80 km/h)).
This system is par ticularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.

Activation




Press this button, the indicator
lamp comes on.

The lane departure warning system
cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need for vigilance and responsibility
on the part of the driver.

Deactivation

You are warned by the vibration of the driver's
seat cushion:


- on the right-hand side, if the marking on
the ground has been crossed on the right,

- on the left-hand side, if the marking on the
ground has been crossed on the left.
No warning is transmitted while the direction
indicator is active and for approximately
20 seconds after the direction indicator is
switched off.


Detection - alert
Operating fault


The detection may be impeded:


- if the markings on the ground
are worn,

- if there is little contrast between the
markings on the ground and the
road surface,

- if the windscreen is dirty,

- in certain severe weather
conditions: fog, heavy rain, snow,
bright sunlight or direct exposure
to the sun (low sun, leaving a
tunnel, ...) and shade.





Press this button again, the
indicator lamp goes off. In the event of a fault, the indicator lamp in the
button flashes.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The status of the system remains in the
memory when the ignition is switched off.
It is necessary to obser ve the driving
regulations and to take a break every
two hours.

Lighting controls
System for selection and control of the various front and rear lamps providing the vehicle's lighting and signalling.


Main lighting

There are various lamps on the vehicle:


- sidelamps, to be seen,

- dipped beam headlamps to see without
dazzling other drivers,

- main beam headlamps to see clearly when
the road is clear,

- directional headlamps for improved
visibility when cornering.



Additional lighting

Other lamps are installed to fulfil the
requirements of particular driving conditions:


- rear foglamps to better signal the presence
of the vehicle in foggy conditions,

- front foglamps for better visibility in foggy
conditions and to improve lighting at
intersections and when parking,

- daytime running lamps to be seen during
the day.



Automatic lighting functions

Various automatic lighting functions are also
available depending on options:


- guide-me-home lighting,

- directional headlamps,

- welcome lighting,

- daytime running lamps,

- automatic illumination of headlamps,

- automatic headlamp dipping.

Foglamps selection ring

The foglamps operate with dipped and main beam headlamps.









Front and rear foglamps

Rotate and release the ring:



for wards a first time to switch on the front
foglamps,


for wards a second time to switch on the
rear foglamps,


rear wards a first time to switch off the rear
foglamps,


rear wards a second time to switch of the
front fog lamps. When the headlamps switch off with automatic
illumination of headlamps (AUTO model)
or when the dipped beam headlamps are
switched off manually, the foglamps and
sidelamps remain on.



Turn the ring rear wards to switch off
the foglamps, the sidelamps will then
switch off.








In good or rainy weather, both day
and night, the front foglamps and the
rear foglamps are prohibited. In these
situations, the power of their beams
may dazzle other drivers. They should
only be used in fog or snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility to switch on the foglamps
and dipped headlamps manually as the
sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light.
Do not forget to switch off the front
foglamps and the rear foglamps when
they are no longer needed.

The sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are
switched on automatically, without any action on
the part of the driver, when a low level of external
light is detected or in certain cases of activation of
the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to a sufficient
level or after the windscreen wipers are switched
off, the lamps are switched off automatically.












Automatic illumination of headlamps


Activation




Turn the ring to the "AUTO "
position,
automatic illumination of headlamps is
activated and a message is displayed in
the screen.



Deactivation




Turn the ring to another position.
Deactivation is accompanied by a message
in the screen.



Association with the automatic
"Guide-me-home" lighting
Association with the automatic lighting provides
the "guide-me-home" lighting with the following
additional options after the ignition is switched
off:


- selection of the lighting duration of 15, 30
or 60 seconds in the vehicle parameters in
the vehicle configuration menu,

- automatic activation of "guide-me-home"
lighting when automatic illumination of
headlamps is in operation.



Operating fault

In the event of a malfunction
of the sunshine sensor,
the lighting comes on, this
warning lamp is displayed in the instrument
panel and/or a message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor
may detect sufficient light. In this
case, the lighting will not come on
automatically.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor,
coupled with the rain sensor and
located in the centre of the windscreen
behind the rear view mirror; the
associated functions would no longer
be controlled.

Parking lamps

Side markers for the vehicle by illumination of
the sidelamps on the traffic side only.



Within one minute of switching off the
ignition, operate the lighting control stalk
up or down depending on the traffic side
(for example: when parking on the left;
lighting control stalk upwards; the right
hand sidelamps are on).
This is confirmed by an audible signal and
illumination of the corresponding direction
indicator warning lamp in the instrument panel.
To switch off the parking lamps, return the
lighting control stalk to the middle position or
switch on the ignition. Temporarily keeping the dipped beam
headlamps on after the vehicle's ignition has
been switched off makes the exit of the vehicle's
occupants easier when the light is poor.






Manual guide-me-home
lighting

Switching on




Within one minute after switching of the
ignition, "flash" the headlamps using the
lighting stalk.


A further "headlamp flash" switches the
function off.



Switching off

The manual guide-me-home lighting switches
off automatically after a set time (this time is
programmable in the configuration menu).

The system may suffer inter ference or
not work correctly:


- under conditions of poor visibility
(for example, snowfall, heavy rain
or thick fog, ...),

- if the windscreen is dirty, misted or
obscured (by a sticker, ...) in front of
the camera,

- if the vehicle is facing highly
reflective signs.


The system is not able to detect:


- road users that do not have their
own lighting, such as pedestrians,

- road users whose lighting is
obscured, such as vehicles running
behind a safety barrier (on a
motor way, for example),

- road users at the top or bottom of
a steep slope, on twisty roads, on
crossroads.
