18ECO-DRIVING
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel
consumption and CO
2 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.
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.
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.
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
CO
2 emissions 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.
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 portable devices before
leaving the vehicle.
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.

this selectivity of opening between the cab
and the load space; contact a CITROËN
dealer.
REMOTE CONTROL
This is confirmed by fixed lighting of the
direction indicators for approximately
two seconds.
ACCESS
Unlocking the cab
Press this button once to unlock
your vehicle's cab.
The direction indicators flash
twice.
Press this button a second time
to unlock the side door(s) and the rear
doors.
This selective door locking function is
active when the vehicle is delivered. At your
request, the dealer network can deactivate
Unlocking the load
space
Press this button to unlock all of
the rear doors.
This separation of the locking
of the cab and load space is an
operating security feature. It enables you
to prevent access to the part of the vehicle
from which you are absent.
Central locking
Press this button to lock your
vehicle, cab and rear doors.
The direction indicators flash
once.
If one of the front doors is open or is not
closed correctly, the central locking will not
work.
Deadlocking
If your vehicle is fitted with deadlocking,
a second press
on the closed padlock on
the remote control within five seconds after
locking changes the locking to deadlocking. Deadlocking renders the exterior and interior
door opening handles inoperative: do not
leave anyone inside the vehicle when it is
deadlocked.
If deadlocking is activated from inside the
vehicle, it will change to normal locking
when the vehicle is started.
Folding / unfolding the key
Press this button to release the
key from its housing.
To fold the key, press the
chromed button then fold the key
into the housing. If you do not press the
button, the mechanism may be damaged.
Good practice
Take care not to allow the remote control to
come into contact with grease, dust, rain or
a damp environment.
A heavy object attached to the key (key
ring, ...) weighing on the shaft of the key in
the switch, may cause a malfunction.

Access
ALARM
If fitted on your vehicle, this provides two
types of protection:
- exterior protection: it sounds if a front/
rear door or the bonnet is opened.
- interior protection: it sounds if
the volume inside the passenger
compartment changes (breaking of
a window or a movement inside the
vehicle).
Good practice
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even when it
is in your pocket, may result in involuntary
unlocking of the doors.
The simultaneous use of other high
frequency equipment (mobile telephones,
domestic alarms…), may interfere with the
operation of the remote control temporarily.
The remote control does not operate while
the key is in the ignition, even if the ignition
is off.
If your vehicle is fitted with a separation
partition, the interior protection is not active
in the load space.
Locking the vehicle with complete
alarm
Setting the alarm
- Switch off the ignition and get out of the vehicle.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle:
- have the keys memorised by a
CITROËN dealer to ensure that the keys
in your possession are the only ones
which can start the vehicle.
- Set the alarm within five minutes of
getting out of the vehicle, by locking or
deadlocking using the remote control.
The red LED, located on the centre
console, flashes once per second.
Disarming
- Unlock the vehicle with the remote
control or switch on the ignition, the red
LED goes off.
Locking the vehicle with exterior
protection only
If, while you are away from the vehicle, you
wish to leave a window partially open or a
pet inside the vehicle, you should choose
exterior protection only.
- Switch off the ignition.
- In the next ten seconds, press
this button, located on the
centre console, until the red
LED is on continuously.
- Get out of the vehicle.
- Within the next five minutes, set the
alarm by locking or deadlocking using
the remote control (the red LED flashes
once a second).
When leaving the vehicle,
check that the lamps are
off and nothing of value is
visible.
As a safety precaution (with
children on board), remove
the key from the ignition
when leaving the vehicle,
even for a short time.

Changing into 5 th
or 6 th
gear
Move the gear lever fully to the right to
engage 5 th or 6 th
gear. To change gear easily, always depress the
clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedal:
- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,
- never fit one mat on top of another.
When driving, avoid leaving your hand on
the gear knob as the force exerted, even if
slight, may wear the internal components of
the gearbox over time.

Engaging reverse gear
In the 6-speed configuration, raise the collar
under the gear knob to engage reverse gear.
Never engage reverse gear before the
vehicle is completely stationary.
The lever should be moved slowly to reduce
the noise on engaging reverse gear.

Manual mode
Manual sequential gear changing.
- Select gear lever position M
,
- push the gear lever towards the + sign
to change up, from 1 through to 6,
- conversely, push the gear lever towards
the - sign to change down.
You can change from position D
(automatic mode) to position M
(manual mode) at any time.
In manual mode, it is only possible to
change from one gear to another if the
vehicle speed and engine speed permit.
If they do not, the vehicle will operate
temporarily in automatic mode.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox automatically
selects first gear.
Good practice
Never select position N
when the vehicle is
moving.
Never select positions P
or R
unless the
vehicle is stationary.
Never change between positions to optimise
braking on a slippery surface.
There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
- if you press the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time,
- if you force the gear lever from
position P
to another position in the
event of a battery failure.
When the engine is at idle, brakes not
applied, if position R
, D
or M
is selected the
vehicle moves even without the accelerator
being pressed.
For this reason, do not leave children
unsupervised inside the vehicle, with the
engine running
.
Operating fault
Any operating fault is indicated by an
audible signal, accompanied by the
message "Automatic gear fault"
in the
screen.
In this situation the gearbox operates in
downgrade mode (locked in 3rd gear). You
may feel a substantial knock when changing
from P
to R
and from N
to R
(this will not
cause any damage to the gearbox).
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), keeping
within the limit of local speed restrictions.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.

Driver or passenger side comfort value
The value indicated on the display
corresponds to a level of comfort and
not a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.
Automatic operation
Do not cover the sunshine sensor,
located on the windscreen behind the
mirror, it is used for regulation of the air
conditioning.
AUTO comfort programme
This is the normal air conditioning system
operating mode.
Press this button, the AUTO
symbol is
displayed.
Depending on the comfort value selected,
the system controls the distribution,
the fl ow and the intake of air to guarantee comfort
and a suffi cient circulation of air in the passenger
compartment. No further action on your part is required.
When the engine is cold, to prevent an
excessive diffusion of cold air, the ventilation
will reach its optimum level gradually.
For your comfort, the settings are stored
when the ignition is switched off and are
reinstated the next time the vehicle is
started, if the temperature in the passenger
compartment has not changed significantly;
otherwise, operation resumes in automatic
mode. Turn this control to the left or to
the right to decrease or increase
the value. A setting around the
value 21 provides optimum
comfort.However, depending on your
requirements, a setting between 18 and 24
is usual.
