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.

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.
GEARBOXES AND STEERING WHEEL

6-speed gearbox
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.

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
This system allows fuel consumption to be
reduced by suggesting when to change up.
With an electronic gearbox, the system is
only active in Manual mode.
Depending on the driving conditions and the
equipment of your vehicle, the system may
recommend skipping one or more gears.
You can follow this indication without going
through the intermediate gears.
Illumination of this symbol
indicates that the driver can
change up.
On vehicles with a manual gearbox,
the arrow may be accompanied by the
recommended gear.
The system adapts its gear change
recommendations according to the driving
conditions (slope, load,...) and demands
from the driver (for power, acceleration,
braking,...). The gear engagement recommendations
should not be considered to be compulsory.
This because the configuration of the
road, the traffic density and safety remain
determining factors when choosing the
best gear. Therefore, the driver remains
responsible for deciding whether or not to
follow the advice given by the system.
This system cannot be deactivated.
The system never recommends engaging
first gear or reverse, or changing down.

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
Selecting positions
- Move the lever select a position.
Once the position is selected, the
corresponding indicator lamp appears in
the instrument panel screen.
Park: position of the lever for
parking.
To immobilise the vehicle or start
the engine. Reverse: position of the lever for
reverse gear.
To reverse the vehicle.
Neutral: position of the lever for
neutral.
To park the vehicle (parking brake
on) and start the engine. Drive: position of the lever for
driving.
To move the vehicle forwards in
automatic mode.
Manual: selection of the gears by
pushing or pulling the gear lever
(+ or -).
To move the vehicle forwards in
manual mode.

Gearboxes and steering wheel
Moving off
With the engine running, to move off from
position P
.
For immediate maximum acceleration
without touching the gear lever,
depress the accelerator pedal to the extent
of its travel, passing the point of resistance
(kickdown). The gearbox will automatically
change down or maintain the gear selected
until maximum engine speed is reached.
On a descent, the gearbox will automatically
change down in order to provide efficient
engine braking and good pickup.
If you take your foot off the accelerator
suddenly, the gearbox will not change to a
higher gear for reasons of safety.
When stationary with the gear lever in
position D
(drive), a vibration limiting device
is activated by pressing the brake pedal.
- gradually release the
pressure on the brake pedal;
the vehicle then moves off.
- Press the brake pedal to
come out of position P
,
- select position R
or D
,
- gradually release the
pressure on the brake pedal;
the vehicle then moves off.
You can also move off from position N
.
- With your foot on
the brake, release
the parking brake,
- select position R
, D
or M
,
- Select position D
. The gearbox always selects the most
suitable gear taking account of the following:
- the style of driving,
- the road profile,
- the vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in auto-
adaptive mode, without any action on your
part.
Reverse gear
- Select position R
, with the
vehicle stationary and the
engine at idle.
Stopping the vehicle, starting the
engine
- Select position P
to
immobilise the vehicle
or
to start the engine
, with the
parking brake on or off.
If the battery is flat and the gear lever
is in position P
, it will be impossible to
change to another position.
- You can also select position N
to park
or to start the
engine
, with the parking
brake on.
If position N
is engaged inadvertently
while driving, allow the engine to return
to idle before engaging position D
to restore
drive.

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.
