Eco-driving
Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently, change up without waitingand drive by changing up quite soon. If your vehicle has the system,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 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 accelerator progressively. Thesepractices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2emissions and also helps reduce the background traffic noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speedsabove 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well.
Control the use of your electrical
equipment
Before moving off, if the passenger compar tment 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 ventsopen.
Remember to make use of equipment that can help keep the temperature in the passenger compar tment down (sunroof and windowblinds...).
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 lightdoes 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 theconsumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your por table devices before leaving the vehicle.
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2emissions.

Fuel tank
Low fuel levelFillin
g
A label affixed to the inside of the flap reminds you of the type of fuel to be used depending on your engine.
Wh
en the low fuel level is reachedthis warning lamp comes on in theinstrument panel. When it first comeson there remains approximately5 litresof fuel in the tank. To fill the tank safel
y: )the engine must be switched off, ) open the fuel filler flap,
)
inser t the key in the cap, then turn it to the left,
)
remove the cap and hook it onto the cliplocated on the inside of the flap, )
fill the tank, but do not continue after the3rd cut- off of the pump
; this could cause
malfunctions.
When
you have filled the tank: ) put the cap back in place, )
turn the key to the right, then remove it
from the cap,
) close the flap.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to be registered by the fuelgauge.
The key cannot be removed from thelock until the cap is refitted.
Opening the filler cap may create anoise caused by an inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely normal and results from the sealing of the fuel system. With Stop & Star t, never refuel with the system in STOP mode; you must switchoff the ignition with the key. Fuel tank capacit
y: approximately 50 litres (petrol) or 48 litres (Diesel); (Dependingon version: approximately 30 litres(petrol or Diesel)). For the LPG version:
approximately 33 litres.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also to the
"Checks" section.

Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines
The petrol engines are perfectly compatible
with E10 or E24 type petrol bio
fuels (containing
10 % or 24 % ethanol), conforming to Europeanstandards EN 228 and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 % ethanol) are reserved exclusively for vehicles marketed
for the use of this type of fuel (BioFlex
vehicles). The quality of the ethanol mustcomply with European standard EN 15293.For Brazil only, special vehicles are marketedto run on fuels containing up to 100 % ethanol (E10 0 type).
For Russia only, the use of RON 92 unleaded petrol is possible.
Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines
The Diesel engines are perfectly compatible
with
biofuels which conform to current andfuture European standards (Diesel fuel whichcomplies with standard EN 590 mixed with abiofuel which complies with standard EN 14214)available at the pumps (containing up to 7 %Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
The B30 biofuel can be used in cer tain Diesel engines; however, this use is subject to strict
application of the special ser vicing conditions.Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of
damage to the engine and fuel system).

Misfuel prevention (Diesel) *
Operation
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
into contact with the flap. The system remainsclosed and prevents filling.Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type filler nozzle.
*
According to country of sale.
It remains possible to use a fuel can tofill the tank. In order to ensure a good flow of fuel,do not place the nozzle of the fuel can in direct contact with the flap of the misfuel prevention device and pour slowly.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different in other countries, the presence of the misfuel prevention device may make refuelling impossible.Before travelling abroad, we
recommend that you check with the CITROËN dealer network, whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuel pumps in the country in which you want to travel.
Mechanical device which prevents fillin
g the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of engine damage that can result from filling with the wrong fuel.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention device appears when the filler cap is removed.
