Familiarisation

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.


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 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, 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 the
consumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your por table devices before leaving the vehicle.

















































Eco-driving

Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.


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 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.



The gear shift indicator invites you to change up: as soon as theindication to change up is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it straight away.
With an electronic or automatic gearbox, this indicator appears only in manual mode.

vehicles with an electronic gearbox, Por Nfor vehicles with an automatic gearbox or neutral with a manual gearbox. )Inser t the electronic key in the reader.)Press the brake pedal for vehicles with an electronic or automatic gearbox, or
fully declutch for vehicles with a manualgearbox.

Starting the engine
For Diesel vehicles, intemperatures below zero theengine will not star t until the preheater warning lamp has gone off.
If this warning lamp comes on after pressing "STA R T/STOP", you should hold the brake or clutch pedal down
until the warning lamp goes off and do not press the START/STOP buttonagain.



If one of the star ting conditions is notmet, a reminder message appears in the instrument panel screen. In somecircumstances, it is necessary to turnthe steering wheel slightly while pressingthe "STA R T/STOP" button to assistunlocking of the steering; a messagewarns you when this is needed.

The presence in the defined zone of theelectronic key for the "Keyless Entry and Starting" system is essential. For safety reasons, do not leave this zone with the vehicle running.


If the electronic key is not detected in the zone, a message is displayed. Movethe electronic key into the zone so thatthe engine can be started.

Driving














Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp comes onin the instrument panel and the enginegoes into standby automatically:
-with a manual gearbox
, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), when you place the gear lever in neutral, and you release the clutch pedal, - with an electronic gearbox,at speeds
below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press the
brake pedal or place the gear selector lever in position N ,
- with an automatic gearbox,
with the
vehicle stationary, when you press the brake pedal or place the gear selector lever in position N.If your vehicle is fitted with the system, a timecounter calculates the sum of the periods in STOP mode during a journey. It resets itself to
zero every time the ignition is switched on with
the STA R T/STOP button.
Never refuel with the engine in STOPmode; you must switch off the ignition with the STA R T/STOP button.
For your comfor t, during parkingmanoeuvres, 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 for example, braking, power steering...


Special cases: STOP mode not
available
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 usingthe START/STOP button,

- the electric parking brake is applied or being applied,

- the engine is needed to maintain acomfor table temperature in the passenger compartment,

- demistin
g is active,

- some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance,ambient temperature...) where the engine isneeded to assure control of a system.

In this case, the "ECO"
warning lampflashes for a few seconds then goesoff.This operation is per fectly normal.
The Stop & Star t system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine restar ts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Star t system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.

Safety
Intelligent traction control
s
ystem ("Snow motion")
When this warning lamp comes on,coupled with the STOPwarning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal and a
message, it indicates that there is a fault
with the electronic brake force distribution(EBFD), which could cause loss of control of the vehicle when braking.

Operation
When this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signaland a message, it indicates that there
is a fault with the ABS, which could cause loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
Your vehicle has a system to help driving onsnow: intelligent traction control.This system detects situations of difficult surface adhesion that could make it difficult to move off or make progress on deep fresh snow
or compacted snow.
In these situations
, the intelligent traction control limits the amount of wheel slip to provide the best traction and trajectory controlfor your vehicle.
In extremely severe conditions (deep snow,mud, ...), when it proves impossible to move off,
it may be useful to temporarily deactivate theESP/ASR systems to allow the wheels to spin
freely and so allow movement of the vehicle.
The use o
f snow tyres is strongly recommended on sur faces offering low levels of adhesion.

Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution
(EBFD)

When changing wheels (tyres and rims),make sure that these are approved for your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasing the pressure.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
