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  of f  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.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a  safe  distance  between  vehicles,  use  engine  braking
 rather  than  the  brake  pedal,  and  press  the  accel -
erator
 
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.
Control the use of your electrical equipment
Before moving  of f,  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
 
of
f  
the
 
air
 
conditioning,
 
unless
 
it
 
has
 
automatic
 
regu
-
lation,
  as   soon   as   the   desired   temperature   is   attained.
Switch
 
of
f  
the
 
demisting
 
and
 
defrosting
 
controls,
 
if
 
not
 
au
-
tomatic.
Switch
  off   the   heated   seat   as   soon   as   possible.
Switch
 
of
f  
the
 
headlamps
 
and
 
front
 
foglamps
 
when
 
the
 
level of

  light   does   not   require   their   use.
Avoid
 
running
 
the
 
engine
 
before
 
moving
 
of
f,  
particularly
 
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
 
to
-
wards
 
limiting
 
the
 
consumption
 
of
 
electrical
 
energy
,  
and
 
so
 
of

  fuel.
Disconnect
 
your
 
portable
 
devices
 
before
 
leaving
 
the
 
ve
-
hicle.
ECO-DRIVING
The gear  shift  indicator  invites  you  engage  the  most  suit -
able  gear:  as  soon  as  the  indication  is  displayed  in  the  in -
strument
  panel,   follow   it   straight   away.
For
 
vehicles
 
fitted
 
with
 
an
 
electronic
 
or
 
automatic
 
gearbox,
 
this

  indicator   appears   only   in   manual   mode.

VENTILATION
Air intake
The air circulating  in  the  passenger  compartment
 is  filtered  and  originates  
either

 
from
 
the
 
outside
 
via
 
the
 
grille lo
-
cated
 
at
 
the
 
base
 
of
 
the
 
windscreen
 
or
 
from

 
the
 
inside
 
in
 
air
 
recirculation
 
mode.
Air treatment
The incoming air  follows  various  routes  depending
 on  the  controls  selected  by  
the

  driver:
-
 
direct
 
arrival
 
in
 
the
 
passenger
 
com
-
partment
  (air   intake),
-
 
passage
 
through
 
a
 
heating
 
circuit
 
(heating),
-

 
passage
 
through
 
a
 
cooling
 
circuit
 
(air

  conditioning).

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILA TION AND AIR CONDITIONING
In order for  these  systems  to  be  fully  ef fective,  follow  the  operation  and  maintenance
  guidelines   below:
F
 
T
o  
obtain
 
an

take
 
care
 
not
 
to
 
obstruct

located
 
at
 
the
 
base
 
of
 
the
 
windscreen,
 
the
 
nozzles,
 
the
 
vents

 
and
 
the
 
air
 
outlets,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
the
 
air
 
extractor
 
located
 
in
 
the
 
boot.
F

 
Do
 
not
 
cover
 
the
 
sunshine
 
sensor
,  
located
 
on
 
the
 
dashboard;
 
this
 
is
 
used

  for   regulation   of   the   air   conditioning   system.
F
 
Operate
 
the
 
air
 
conditioning
 
system
 
for
 
at
 
least
 
5
 
to
 
10
 
minutes,
 
once
 
or
 
twice

  a   month   to   keep   it   in   perfect   working   order.
F
 
Ensure
 
that
 
the
 
passenger
 
compartment
 
filter
 
is
 
in
 
good
 
condition
 
and
 
have

  the   filter   elements   replaced   regularly.
  W

e  
recommend
 
the
 
use
 
of
 
a
 
combined
 
passenger
 
compartment
 
filter
.  
Thanks

 
to
 
its
 
special
 
active
 
additive,
 
it
 
contributes
 
to
 
the
 
purification
 
of
 
the

 
air
 
breathed
 
by
 
the
 
occupants
 
and
 
the
 
cleanliness
 
of
 
the
 
passenger
 
compartment

 
(reduction
 
of
 
allergic
 
symptoms,
 
bad
 
odours
 
and
 
greasy
 
deposits).
F

 
T
o  
ensure
 
correct
 
operation
 
of
 
the
 
air
 
conditioning
 
system,
 
you
 
are
 
also
 
advised

 
to
 
have
 
it
 
checked
 
regularly
 
as
 
recommended
 
in
 
the
 
mainte
-
nance
  and   warranty   guide.
F
 
If
 
the
 
system
 
does
 
not
 
produce
 
cold
 
air
,  
switch
 
it
 
of
f  
and
 
contact
 
a
 
CITROËN

  dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
When
 
towing
 
the
 
maximum
 
load
 
on
 
a
 
steep
 
gradient
 
in
 
high
 
temperatures,
 
switching

 
of
f  
the
 
air
 
conditioning
 
increases
 
the
 
available
 
engine
 
power
 
and
 
so

  improves   the   towing   ability. If
 
after
 
an
 
extended
 
stop
 
in
 
sun
-
shine,  
the
 
interior
 
temperature
 
is
 very
 high,  first  ventilate  the  pas -
senger  compartment  for  a  few  moments.
Put
 
the

at
 
a
 
set

ting
 
high
 
enough
 
to
 
quickly
 
change

 
the
 
air
 
in
 
the
 
passenger
 
compartment.
The

 
air
 
conditioning
 
system
 
does

 
not
 
contain
 
chlorine
 
and
 
does

 
not
 
present
 
any
 
danger
 
to
 
the

  ozone   layer.
The
 
condensation
 
created
 
by
 
the

 
air
 
conditioning
 
results
 
in
 
a
 
discharge

 
of
 
water
 
under
 
the

hicle
  which   is   perfectly   normal.
Stop & Start
The
 
heating
 
and
 
air
 
conditioning
 
systems
 
only
 
work
 
when
 
the
 
engine
 
is
 
running.

 
T
o  
maintain
 
a
 
comfortable
 
temperature
