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 and change up without waiting. During   acceleration   change   up   early.
With
  an   automatic   or   electronic   gearbox,   give   preference   to   automatic  
m

ode   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   accelerator   progressively.   These  
p

ractices   contribute   towards   a   reduction   in   fuel   consumption   and  
C

o
2 emissions and also helps reduce the background traffic noise.
I
f
 
your   vehicle   has   cruise   control,   make   use   of   the   system   at   speeds  
a

bove   25   mph   (40   km/h)   when   the   traffic   is   flowing   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
 ope

n.
Remember
  to   make   use   of   equipment   that   can   help   keep   the
 t

emperature   in   the   passenger   compartment   down   (sunroof   and   window
 b

linds...).
Switch
  off   the   air   conditioning,   unless   it   has   automatic   regulation,   as
 s

oon   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  
d

oes   not   require   their   use.
Avoid
  running   the   engine   before   moving   off,   particularly   in   winter;   your  
v

ehicle   will   warm   up   much   faster   while   driving.
As
  a   passenger,   if   you   avoid   connecting   your   multimedia   devices  
(

film,   music,   video   game...),   you   will   contribute   towards   limiting   the  
c

onsumption   of   electrical   energy,   and   so   of   fuel.
Disconnect
  your   portable   devices   before   leaving   the   vehicle.
Eco-driving
The gear efficiency indicator invites you engage the most suitable gear: as   soon   as   the   indication   is   displayed   in   the   instrument   panel,   follow   it  
s

traight   away.
For
  vehicles   fitted   with   an   electronic   or   automatic   gearbox,   this  
i

ndicator   appears   only   in   manual   mode.

Group of supplementary systems which help you   to   obtain   optimum   braking   in   complete  
s

afety   in   emergency   situations:
-
 
a
nti-lock   braking   system   (ABS),
-
 
e
lectronic   brake   force   distribution   (EBFD),
-
 
e
mergency   braking   assistance   (EBA).
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability and manoeuvrability   of   your   vehicle   when   braking,   in p

articular   on   poor   or   slippery   sur faces.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes into operation   automatically   when   there   is   a   risk   of  
w

heel   lock.
Normal
  operation   of   the   ABS   may   make   itself  
f

elt   by   slight   vibration   of   the   brake   pedal.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on, accompanied   by   an   audible   signal  
a

nd   a   message   in   the   screen,   it  
i

ndicates   a   malfunction   of   the   anti-
lock
  braking   system   which   could  
r

esult in loss of control of the vehicle
when
 b

raking.
If
  this   warning   lamp   comes   on,
 t

ogether   with   the   STOP
 
and   ABS
warning
  lamps,   accompanied   by   an
 a

udible   signal   and   a   message   in   the
 s

creen,   it   indicates   a   malfunction   of
 t

he   electronic   brake   force   distribution
 w

hich   could   result   in   loss   of   control   of
 t

he   vehicle   when   braking.
Emergency braking
assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you to   obtain   the   optimum   braking   pressure   more  
q

uickly,   thus   reducing   the   stopping   distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake pedal   is   pressed.
The
  effect   of   this   is   a   reduction   in   the  
r

esistance   of   the   pedal   and   an   increase   in  
b

raking
 e
fficiency.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In
 
either
 
case,
 
contact
 
a
 
CITROËN
 
dealer
 
or
 
a
 
q

ualified
 w

orkshop.
When
 
braking
 
in
 
an
 
emergency,
 
press
 
v

ery
 
firmly
 
without
 
releasing
 
the
 
p

ressure. When
  braking   in   an   emergency,   press  
f

irmly   without   releasing   the   pressure.
When
 
replacing
 
wheels
 
(tyres
 
and
 
r

ims),
 
ensure
 
that
 
they
 
conform
 
to
 
the
 
ma

nufacturer's
 r

ecommendations.

A few driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations at all times and remain   vigilant   whatever   the   traffic   conditions.
Pay
  close   attention   to   the   traffic   and   keep   your  
h

ands   on   the   wheel   so   that   you   are   ready   to  
r

eact   at   any   time   to   any   eventuality.
On
  a   long   journey,   a   break   every   two   hours   is  
s

trongly
 re
commended.
In
  difficult   weather,   drive   smoothly,   anticipate  
t

he   need   to   brake   and   increase   the   distance  
f

rom   other   vehicles.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded roads,   as   this   could   cause   serious   damage  
t

o   the   engine   or   gearbox,   as   well   as   to   the  
e

lectrical   systems   of   your   vehicle.
Important!If you are obliged to drive through water:
-  
c
heck   that   the   depth   of   water   does   not  
e

xceed   15   cm,   taking   account   of   waves  
t

hat   might   be   generated   by   other   users,
-
 
d
eactivate   the   Stop   &   Start   system,
-
 
d
rive   as   slowly   as   possible   without  
s

talling.   In   all   cases,   do   not   exceed   6   mph  
(

10 km/h),
-
 
d
o   not   stop   and   do   not   switch   off   the  
e

ngine. Never
  drive   with   the   parking   brake  
a

pplied   -   Risk   of   overheating   and  
d

amage   to   the   braking   system!
Do
  not   park   or   run   the   engine   when  
s

tationary   in   areas   where   inflammable  
s

ubstances   and   materials   (dry   grass,  
d

ead   leaves...)   might   come   into   contact  
w

ith   the   hot   exhaust   system   -   Risk   of  
f

ire!
Never
  leave   a   vehicle   unsupervised  
w

ith   the   engine   running.   If   you   have  
t

o   leave   your   vehicle   with   the   engine  
r

unning,   apply   the   parking   brake  
a

nd   put   the   gearbox   into   neutral   or  
p

osition

N or P,
  depending   on   the   type  
o

f   gearbox.
On
  leaving   the   flooded   road,   as   soon   as  
c

ircumstances   allow,   make   several   light   brake  
a

pplications   to   dry   the   brake   discs   and   pads.
If
  in   doubt   on   the   state   of   your   vehicle,   contact  
a

  CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
