Rear parking sensors / reversing camera
These systems detect and warn you of anyobstacle located behind the vehicle.
Stop & Start
This system puts the engine temporarily into standby during stops
in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc...). The engine restar ts assoon as you want to move off. The Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption, exhaust emissions and the noise level when stationary.
Temporary puncture
repair kit
This kit is a complete system consisting of a compressor and a sealant cartridge, for the temporary repair of a tyre.
Zenith windscreen
This large windscreen provides incomparable
visibility and light in the passenger
compartment.

Interior mood lighting

This subdued passenger compar tment lighting
improves visibilit
y inside the vehicle in low
lighting conditions. It comprises several lamps,
located in the automatic day/night mirror support and in the lower dashboard storagecompartment.

Gear effi ciency indicator

Depending on the driving conditions and your style of driving, this system may suggest when
to change up to reduce your fuel consumption.

Scented air freshener

The scented air freshener diffuses the
selected fragrance throughout the passenger compartment from its location in the ventilation system.


Digital air conditioning
After setting the desired level of comfor t, the system then automatically controls this level
according to the ambient conditions.
Audio and communication
systems
These systems benefit from the latest
technology: MP3 compatible Audio system,
USB por t, Bluetooth hands-free system, eMyWay with 16/9 colour screen, auxiliary

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 efficiency indicator invites you to change up; it is displayed in theinstrument 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 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 temperaturein the passenger compar tment down (sunroof 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 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, par ticularly 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.

22
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 refit 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 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 (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) andobser ve the schedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle toavoid any over flow.


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 settle down toa consistent average.

Tr ip computer, a few definitions
Range
(miles or km)The distance which can still be
travelled with the fuel remainingin the tank. Related to theaverage fuel consumption over
the last few miles (kilometres)
travelled.
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l) Calculated over the last few seconds.


Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated since the last trip
computer reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)Calculated since the last trip computer reset.

Distance travelled
(miles or km)
Calculated since the last tripcomputer reset.

When the ran
ge falls below 20 miles (30 km),
dashes are displayed. After filling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is
displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (10 0 km).


Distance remaining to destination
(miles or km)
This is the distance remaining to be
travelled to the final destination. Itcan be entered by the user.
If the distance is not entered, dashes
are displayed in place of the digits.

Stop & Start time counter
(minutes / seconds or hours /
minutes) If your vehicle is fitted with Stop &Start, a time counter calculates the
time spent in STOP mode during ajourney. It resets to zero every time the
ignition is switched on with the key.



If dashes are displayed continuously while driving in place of the digits, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.


This value may vary following a changein the style of driving or the relief,resulting in a significant change in thecurrent fuel consumption.
This function is only displayed from 20 mph (30 km/h).

Once the "Languages" menu has been selected,you can change the language used by the display (Français, Italiano, Nederlands, Portugues,
Portugues-Brasil, Deutsch, English, Espanol).

Units
Once the "Units" menu has been selected, you can change the units of the followingparameters:


- temperature (°C or °F),

- fuel consumption (l/100 km, mpg or km/l).
For safety reasons, configuration by thedriver of the multifunction screen must only be done when stationary.
Once the fuel consumption units have been set to mpg, the information in the instrument panel screen on speed and distance will also be in mph and miles.
