2014 CITROEN DS3 CABRIO change time

Before moving off, if the passenger compar tment 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 compar tment down (sunroof and windowblinds...). 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 lightdoes not require their use.


Avoid running the engine before moving off, par ticularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.
















































Eco-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 efficiency indicator invites you to change up: as soon as the indication to change up is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it straight away.
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 andCO2emissions and also helps reduce the background traffic noise.


Control the use of your electrical
equipment


If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speedsabove 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well.



As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, video game...), you will contribute towards limiting theconsumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your por table devices before leaving the vehicle.

Range
(miles or km)
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Stop & Start timecounter
(minutes / seconds or hours /
minutes)
This value may vary following a changein the style of driving or the relief,resulting in a significant change in thecurrent fuel consumption.

If dashes are displayed continuously while driving in place of the digits, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. When the ran
ge falls below 20 miles (30 km),
dashes are displayed. After filling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is
displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (10 0 km).


Distance remaining to
destination
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance which can still betravelled with the fuel remaining in the tank inrelation to the average fuel consumption over
the last few miles (kilometres) travelled. This is the avera
ge fuel consumption during the last few seconds.

This is the distance remaining to be travelledto the final destination. It can be entered by the user.
If the distance is not entered, dashes are
displayed in place of the digits.

I
f your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Star t, a timecounter calculates the time spent in STOP mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the key.



Distance travelled
(miles or km)

This indicates the distance travelled since thelast trip computer zero reset.

Average speed
(mph or km/h)

This is the average speed calculated since the last trip computer zero reset (ignition on).
Average fuelconsumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)

This is the average fuel consumption since the last trip computer zero reset.
This function is only displayed from 20 mph (30 km/h).
