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.



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 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.


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 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.


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.
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.

18

Limit the causes of excess
consumption

Spread loads throughout the
vehicle; place the heaviest items in
the bottom of the boot, as close as
possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the
vehicle and reduce 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 and refi t your summer tyres.



Observe the recommendations
on maintenance

Check the tyre pressures regularly,
when cold, referring to the label in the
door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:


- 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 serviced regularly
(engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and
observe the schedule of operations
recommended by the manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after
the third cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overfl ow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle,
it is only after the fi rst 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see
the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.

Instruments and controls


Puncture

The STOP warning lamp comes on.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so,
avoiding any sudden movement of the
steering wheel and the brakes.
Make a temporary repair to the tyre
using the puncture repair kit or by
fi tting the spare wheel.
Change the damaged wheel, and have
the tyre pressures checked as soon as
possible.

Sensor(s) fault or not detected

The Service warning lamp comes on.
When changing a wheel or in the
event of a sensor fault, the tyre
pressure is no longer monitored.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop to replace the faulty
sensor(s).
All repairs and changing of tyres on a
wheel fi tted with this system must be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
If when changing a tyre, you fi t a
wheel not detected by your vehicle
(for example: fi tting snow tyres), you
must have the system reinitialised
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

The tyre under-infl ation detection
system is a driving aid which does
not take the place of vigilance or the
responsibility of the driver.



TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION EMISSIONS CONTROLS
Deflated tyre

The Service warning lamp comes on.
Following a warning, the under-infl ation
of the tyre will not necessarily be
visible.
Check the tyre pressure as soon as
possible.
Refer to the "Changing a wheel"
section of chapter 7.
If the damaged wheel is replaced by
one without a sensor (for example,
the spare wheel), the message
is maintained to indicate that the
pressure of the wheel cannot be
monitored, so providing a reminder that
the damaged wheel with sensor must
be repaired. Sensors continuously monitor the tyre
pressures and trigger a warning in the
event of under-infl ation, a puncture or
a fault with a sensor.
Any anomaly is
indicated by visual and
audible information and
is accompanied by a
message in the screen.
EOBD (European On Board
Diagnosis) is a diagnostics
system which complies with,
among others, the standards
concerning authorised
emissions of:


- CO (carbon monoxide),

- HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),

- NOx (nitrous oxides) or particles,
detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream and downstream of the
catalytic converters.
The driver is warned of any malfunction
of this emission control system by the
illumination of this specifi c warning
lamp in the instrument panel.
There is a risk of damage to the
catalytic converter. Have it checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

Good practice

This system does not avoid the need
to have the tyre pressures checked
regularly (including the spare wheel), to
ensure that the dynamic performance
of the vehicle remains at its best and
to avoid premature wear of the tyres,
in particular in the case of heavy loads
and high speeds.
Observing the recommended tyre
pressures helps reduce the vehicle's
fuel consumption.
The system may temporarily be
disturbed by electro-magnetic
emissions on a frequency close to that
used by it.

GEARBOX


5-speed gearbox - reverse



To change gear easily, always press
the clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedal:


- ensure that the mat and its fi xings
on the fl oor are positioned correctly,

- never fi t one mat on top of another.
When driving, avoid leaving your hand
on the gear knob as the force exerted,
even if slight, may wear the internal
components of the gearbox over time.


Engaging 5 th
gear.

Push the gear lever fully to the right to
engage 5 th gear.
GEAR EFFICIENCY INDICATOR


This system allows fuel consumption
to be reduced by suggesting when to
change up.
With an electronic gearbox, the system
is only active in Manual mode.
Depending on the driving conditions
and the equipment of your vehicle,
the system may recommend skipping
one or more gears. You can follow this
indication without going through the
intermediate gears.
The gear engagement
recommendations should not be
considered to be compulsory. This
because the confi guration of the road,
the traffi c density and safety remain
determining factors when choosing
the best gear. Therefore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding
whether or not to follow the advice
given by the system.
This system cannot be deactivated.


Engaging reverse

To engage reverse gear, wait until the
vehicle is stationary then push the gear
lever to the right then back.
The lever should be moved slowly to
reduce the noise on engaging reverse
gear.

Stop & Start

STOP & START

The Stop & Start system puts the
engine temporarily on standby - STOP
mode - during stops in the traffi c (red
lights, traffi c jams, or other...). The
engine restarts automatically - START
mode - as soon as you want to move
off. The restart takes place instantly,
quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise
level when stationary.

Operation


Going into engine STOP mode

The "ECO"
warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and
the engine goes into standby:


- with a manual gearbox
, at speeds
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you
put the gear lever into neutral and
release the clutch pedal,

- with the 6-speed electronic
gearbox
, at a speed below 5 mph
(8 km/h), when you press the brake
pedal or put the gear selector into
position N
. If your vehicle is fi tted with the system,
a time counter calculates the sum of
the periods in STOP mode during a
journey. It rests itself to zero every time
the ignition is switched on with the key.
With the electronic gearbox,
for your comfort during parking
maoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch off
the ignition with the key.
Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not
fastened,

- the vehicle has not exceeded
6 mph (10 km/h) since the last
engine start using the key,

- the parking brake is applied or
being applied,

- the engine is needed to maintain
a comfortable temperature in the
passenger compartment,

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature,
braking assistance, ambient
temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a
system.
In this case, the "ECO"

warning lamp fl ashes for a
few seconds, then goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.
