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.

Warning and indicator lamps
When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.
When
the engine is started, these warning
l
amps should go off.
If
they remain on, before moving off, refer to the
i
nformation on the warning lamp in question.
Associated warnings
The illumination, fixed or flashing, of certain warning lamps may be accompanied by an
a
udible signal and the display of a message.

Engine oil level
indicator*
Oil level correct
This is indicated by the flashing of "O IL" or the
display of a message, accompanied by the
s
ervice warning lamp and an audible signal.
If
the low oil level is confirmed by a check using
t
he dipstick, the level must be topped up to
a
void damage to the engine.
Refer
to the "Checking levels" section.
Oil level indicator fault
In the event of a fault with the electric indicator, the oil level is no longer monitored.
If
the system is faulty, you must check the
e
ngine oil level using the manual dipstick
l
ocated under the bonnet.
Refer
to the "Checking levels" section.Oil level incorrect
This is signalled by the flashing of "O IL--" or
the display of a message.
Contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
w
