2014.5 Citroen NEMO RHD fuel consumption

23ECO-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 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.
The gear shift indicator invites you engage the most suitable gear: as
soon as the indication is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it
straight away.
For vehicles fitted with an electronic or automatic gearbox, this
indicator appears only in manual mode.
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 C o
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 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 (sunroof and window
blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic 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
(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.

Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the
bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof\

bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in
the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
before a long journey
,
-

at each change of season,
-


after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter

, air filter,
passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
operations recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid any overflow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to
a consistent average.

56Stopping the vehicle
To switch off the engine, with your foot on
the brake pedal, you should:
-
select first gear or reverse.
-


apply the parking brake to immobilise the

vehicle.
-

switch of
f the ignition.
Temporarily changing gear in AUTO mode
You can also request a gear change using
the gear lever.
This action does not deactivate the
automated mode, but allows temporary
use of the sequential mode functions (for
example: for overtaking another vehicle...).
"AUTO" remains displayed in the instrument
panel screen.
"ECO" economy programme
This programme works with the automated
mode to reduce fuel consumption.
Press button E
to activate the programme.
Sequential mode
After using the automated mode, you can
return to the sequential mode by selecting
position A /M again.
"E" appears in the instrument
panel screen, next to "AUTO"
and the gear selected by the
gearbox.
The gearbox then selects the best gear for
the speed of the vehicle, the engine speed
and the accelerator pedal position to reduce
fuel consumption. "AUTO" disappears and the
gears engaged appear in
succession in the instrument
panel screen.
t is not necessary to take your foot off the
accelerator pedal to change the gear.
The gear change requests are only carried
out if the engine speed permits it. The
system gives an audible signal if a gear
change is not possible.
At low speeds, when approaching a stop
or traffic lights for example, the gearbox
changes down to first gear automatically.
Release the brake pedal after the display
of the gear engaged has disappeared
from the instrument panel screen.
n

ever leave the vehicle with the
gearbox in neutral (position N ). In this
case, there is an audible signal on switching
off the ignition (ignition key in the STOP
position).

58GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR*
* According to engine.
Operation
The system intervenes only when driving
economically.
The gear change recommendations must
not be considered compulsory, as the
configuration of the road, the volume of
traffic 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.Example:
System which reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most suitable gear.
Display in the level 2 instrument panelIn the case of driving which
makes particular demands on the
performance of the engine (firm pressure
on the accelerator pedal, for example,
when overtaking...), the system will not
recommend a gear change.
The system will never suggest:
-

engaging first gear
,
-

engaging reverse.
-


Y
ou are in third gear.
-
Y
ou press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
-
The
system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear, if appropriate. On vehicle fitted with a manual gearbox,
the arrow may be accompanied by the gear
recommended.
With an electronic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual mode. The information appears in the form of the
word
SHIFT in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by an up arrow to changing up.

- with a manual gearbox, with the vehicle
stationary, put the gear lever into neutral,
then release the clutch pedal,
-

with an electronic gearbox
, with the
vehicle stationary, hold the brake pedal
down. Special cases: STOP mode unavailable
The STOP mode is not invoked when:
-

the driver's door is open,
-

the driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-

reverse gear is engaged,
-

some special conditions (battery

charge, engine temperature, particle
filter regeneration, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a system.
In this case, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by the "S" warning
lamp, which flashes for a few
seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
STOP & S TART
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - ST OP mode -
during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic
jams, or other...). The engine restarts
automatically - START mode - as soon as
you want to move off. The restart takes
place instantly, quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption, exhaust
emissions and the noise level when
stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "S" warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby: Automatic stopping of the engine is
only possible after the vehicle has
exceed a speed of about 6 mph (10 km/h),
to avoid repeated stopping of the engine
when driving slowly.
In the ST
o
P mode Stop & Start, hill
start assist is inactive.
n
ever leave your vehicle with out first
turning off the ignition with the key.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key.
