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.

Fuel tank


Low fuel level
When the fuel tank minimum level is
reached this warnin
g lamp comes on on the instrument panel. When it first comes on there remains approximately
5 litres of fuel in the tank.


Filling
A label affixed to the inside of the flap remindsyou of the type of fuel to be used depending onyour engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 7 litres, in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge.To
fill the tank safely:)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.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
runnin
g out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also to the
"Checks" section.
Fuel tank capacity: approximately
50 litres (petrol) or 46 litres (Diesel) or 37 litres (LPG); (Depending on version:
approximately 30 litres (petrol or Diesel)).
With Stop & Star t, never refuel with the system in STOP mode; you must switchoff the ignition with the key.

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, resulting from the sealing of the fuel system.

Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines
The petrol engines are per fectly compatible
with E10 or E24 type petrol biofuels (containing10 % 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 marketed
to run on fuels containing up to 100 % ethanol (E10 0 type).
Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines

The Diesel engines are per fectly 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).

Mechanical device which prevents filling the
tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids
the risk of en
gine 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.
















Misfuel prevention (Diesel) *
Operation
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comesinto contact with the flap. The system remains closed and prevents filling. Do not persist but introduce a Diesel typefiller 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.
Tr a v e l l i ng 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.
