Eco-drivingEco-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.
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.
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 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.
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.

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.Between 600 miles (1 000 km)
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: 1 700 miles (2 800 km) remain
before the next service is due.
Less than 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
Example: 560 miles (900 km) remain before
the next service is due.
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the display indicates:
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the screen indicates:
A few seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the spanner goes off ; the distance recorder
resumes its normal operation. The screen then
indicates the total and trip distances. A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The spanner remains on
to
indicate that a service must be carried out
soon.
More than 1800 miles (3000 km)
remain before the next service is due
When the ignition is switched on, no service
information appears in the screen.

A few seconds after the ignition is switched

Service indicator zero reset
after each service, the service indicator must
be reset to zero.
The procedure for resetting to zero is as
follows:

zero reset button,
F

s
witch on the ignition; the distance recorder
display begins a countdown,
F

the button; the spanner disappears.
Retrieving the service
information
You can access the service information at any
time.

button.
T

he service information is displayed for a
few seconds, then disappears.
The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, depending
on the driver's driving habits.
Therefore, the spanner may also come
on if you have exceeded the period
since the last service, indicated in the
maintenance and warranty guide. 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*
On vehicles fitted with an electric oil level
indicator, information on the oil level is
displayed in the instrument panel for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched on, after
the service information.
Oil level correct
This is indicated by the flashing of " O I L",
accompanied by illumination of the service
warning lamp, an audible signal and a
message.
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.
Oil level low
This is signaled by the flashing of "OIL- -" .
Contact a CITRoËn dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In the event of a fault with the electric oil level
indicator, the engine oil level is no longer
monitored.
While the system is faulty, you should check
the engine oil level using the manual dipstick
located under the bonnet.
Refer to the "Checking levels" section.
Oil level indicator fault
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.
