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 gear selector, 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. These attitudes contribute
towards a reduction in fuel consumption and
CO
2 emissions and also helps reduce the
background traffi c noise.

When the traffi c is fl owing well, and if you
have cruise control, make use of the system
at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h).



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 (sun roof 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.

KEY

This locks and unlocks the doors on the
vehicle, opens and closes the fuel filler cap,
as well as starting and stopping the engine. REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY

-
put the battery holder housing 2 back
inside the key and secure it by turning the

There is a risk of damage if the
replacement battery does not conform.
Only use batteries which are
identical or of an equivalent type to those
recommended by a CITROËN dealer. Take
used batteries to an approved collection
point.

Fuel

FILLING WITH FUEL

Capacity of the fuel tank: approximately
45 litres.


Low fuel level

When the minimum fuel tank level
is reached, this warning lamp
comes on. When it first comes on,
you have approximately 6
litres
of fuel remaining. Refuel without delay to
avoid running out of fuel. Refuelling must be done with the engine
off.


- Open the fuel filler flap.

- Hold the filler cap with one hand.

- With the other hand, insert the key, then
turn it a third of a turn.

- Remove the filler cap and hang it on the
hook, located on the inside of the filler
flap.

FUEL CIRCUIT DEACTIVATED

In the event of a serious collision, a device
automatically cuts off the fuel supply to the
engine and the vehicle's electrical supply.
It also triggers the automatic unlocking of
the doors and switching on of the courtesy
lights. A message appears on the instrument
panel display according to version.
Turn the key to the STOP position to prevent
discharging of the battery.
Check that there is no smell or leak of fuel
outside the vehicle.






With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.
When the fuel filler flap is open, a
safety system prevents sliding of the
side door (Combi).
A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used.
Opening the filler cap may cause a noise
resulting from the inrush of air. This vacuum
is quite normal and results from the sealing
of the fuel system.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue
after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle; this could
cause malfunctions.
After filling the fuel tank, lock the filler cap
and close the flap.

fully,

- place it in the "Off" position,

- press the direction indicators control
down fully,

- return it to the "Off" position,

Quality of the fuel used for petrol
engines

The petrol engines are perfectly compatible
with E10 type petrol biofuels (containing
10 % ethanol), conforming to European
standards 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 must comply with European
standard EN 15293.
For Brazil only, special vehicles are
marketed to run on fuels containing up to
100 % ethanol (E100 type).














Quality of the fuel used for Diesel
engines

The Diesel engines are perfectly compatible
with biofuels which conform to current
and future European standards (Diesel
fuel which complies with standard EN 590
mixed with a biofuel 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 certain
Diesel engines; however, this use is subject
to strict application of the special servicing
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).
