Eco-driving
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 CO
2
emissions and also helps reduce the background traffic noise.
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 p
assenger, 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.
dis
connect your portable devices before leaving the vehicle.
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions.
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.

the spanner goes off; the distance recorder
resumes its normal operation. The display then
indicates the total and trip distances.
Less than 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
Example: 400 miles (900 km) remain before
the next service is due.
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched

and 1800 miles (3 000 km) remain
before the next service is due
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the spanner symbolising the service
operations comes on. The distance recorder
display line indicates the distance remaining
before the next service is due.
Example: 1 739 miles (2 800 km) remain
before the next service is due.
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the display indicates:
More than 1800 miles (3000 km)

When the ignition is switched on, no service
information appears on the display. System which informs the driver when the
next service is due, in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
The point at which the service is due is
calculated from the last indicator zero reset. It
is determined by two parameters:
-
t
he distance travelled,
-
t
he time elapsed since the last service.

Therefore, the spanner may also come
on if you have exceeded the time
interval since the last service, indicated
in the servicing and warranty booklet. Following this operation, if you wish to
disconnect the battery, lock the vehicle
and wait at least five minutes for the
zero reset to be taken into account.

Engine oil level indicator*
Oil level correct
Oil level lowOil level indicator fault
In the event of a fault with the electric oil
gauge, the engine oil level is no longer
monitored.
While the system is faulty, you should
check the engine oil level using the
dipstick located under the bonnet.
Refer to the "Checking levels" section.
This is indicated by the flashing of " O I L"
, linked
with the service warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message in the
multifunction screen.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using
the dipstick, the level must be topped up to
prevent damage to the engine.
Refer to the "Checking levels" section. This is signaled by the flashing of "OIL- -"
.
Contact a CITR
oËn
dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The level shown will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for more than
30
minutes.
On versions fitted with an electric oil level
gauge, information on the engine oil level is
displayed for a few seconds in the instrument
panel when the ignition is switched on, after the
