Stop & Start
This system puts the engine
temporarily on standby during
stops in the traffic (red lights, trafficjams, etc...). The engine restartsautomatically as soon as you want tomove off. Stop & Star t reduces fuel consumption, exhaust emissions andnoise levels when stationary.

Interior mood lighting
This subdued passenger compartment lightingimproves visibility inside the vehicle in low lighting conditions. It comprises several
lamps, located in the footwells and in the lower
dashboard storage compar tment.

Gear effi ciency indicator

Depending of the driving conditions and your style of driving, this system maysuggest changing up to reduce your fuel fuel consumption.

Scented air freshener

The scented air freshener diffuses theselected fragrance throughout the passenger compartment from its location in the ventilation
system.
Digital air conditioning
After setting the desired level of comfor t, the system then automatically controls this levelaccording to the ambient conditions.

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.

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 inthe door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in par ticular:


- 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 ser viced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) andobser ve the schedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle toavoid any over flow.


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 toa consistent average.

When the trip required is displayed, press
the button on the end of the wiper stalk for more than two seconds.
Trips "1"
and "2"are independent but their useis identical.
For example, trip "1"can be used for daily figures, and trip "2"for monthly figures.

A few definitions…

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).

Languages
Once the "Languages" menu has been selected,
you can change the language used by the display
(Français, Italiano, Nederlands, Portugues,
Portugues-Brasil, Deutsch, English, Espanol).

Units
Once the "Units" menu has been selected, you can change the units of the followingparameters:


- temperature (°C or °F),

- fuel consumption (l/100 km, mpg or km/l).

Once the fuel consumption units have
been set to mpg, the information in the instrument panel screen on speed anddistance will also be in mph and miles.

For safety reasons, configuration by the driver of the multifunction screen mustonly be done when stationary.
