TRIP COMPUTER
Press the MODE button several
times in succession until the tripcomputer is displayed.Ran
ge:displays the distance which can travelled with the remaining
fuel detected in the tank, basd on the average consumption over the
last few miles (kilometres).
This displa
yed value may vary signifi cantly following a change in the
vehicle speed or the relief of the route.
When the range
falls below 20 miles (30 km), dashes are displayed.
After fi lling with at least 10 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and
is displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
If, whilst driving, dashes are displayed continuously in place of the digits, contact a CITROËN dealer.g

Each press of the button at the end of the wiper stalk displays the
different trip computer information in succession, according to the screen.

- The "1"
(trip 1) tab with:
The average speed, the average fuel consumption and the distance travelled calculatedover route "1".
- The "2"
(trip 2) tab with the same
functions for a second route. Current fuel consum
ption: only calculated and displayed above
20 mph (30 km/h).
Avera
ge fuel consumption: this is the average fuel consumptionsince the last trip computer zero reset.

Distance travelled: calculated since the last tri
p computer zero
reset.
Distance remaining to the destination:calculated with reference
to the fi nal destination, entered by the user. If guidance is activated,
the navigation system calculates it as a current value.

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 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 pro-
gressively. 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.



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 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, particularly in
winter; your vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.

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.

Environment




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 recom-
mended 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.
