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 shift indicator invites you engage the most suitable gear: as
soon as the indication 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 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.
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.

51Monitoring
If dashes are displayed continuously
while driving in place of the digits,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. This value may vary following a change
in the style of driving or the relief,
resulting in a significant change in the
current fuel consumption.
Trip computer, a few definitions…
Range
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
which can still be travelled with
the fuel remaining in the tank
in relation to the average fuel
consumption over the last few
miles (kilometres) travelled.
When the range 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 (100 km). This function is only displayed from
20 mph (30 km/h).
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel consumption
during the last few seconds.
Average fuel
consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel
consumption since the last 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).
Stop & Start time
counter
(minutes / seconds or hours /
minutes)
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start, a time
counter calculates the time spent in STOP
mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the START/STOP button.

Automatic headlamp dipping
Switching on
System which automatically changes between
dipped and main beam according to the lighting
and traffic conditions, using a camera located
in the rear view mirror.
Put the lighting control stalk ring
in the "AUTO" position.
This automatic headlamp dipping
system is a driving aid. The driver
remains responsible for the vehicle's
lighting, its correct use for the prevailing
conditions of light, visibility and traffic
and obser vation of driving and vehicle
regulations.
Flash the headlamps (pull
the stalk beyond the point
of resistance) to activate
the function.

on in the instrument panel
to confirm activation.
Press the button, its indicator
lamp comes on.
Switching off
Press the button, its indicator
lamp goes off, the lighting
system changes to "automatic
illumination of headlamps" mode.
Pause
Flashing the headlamps
again pauses the
function and the lighting
system changes to
"automatic illumination of
headlamps" mode.
Flash the headlamps
again to reactivate the
system.
The system will be operational as soon as
you have exceeded 15 mph (25 km/h).
If the speed drops below 9 mph (15 km/h),
the system no longer operates.
Operation
If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
Once activated, the system operates as follows:
- if there is adequate light and/or if the traffic
conditions do not allow the use of main
beam, then dipped beam is maintained,
- if the light level is low and the traffic
conditions allow, main beam comes on
automatically.

Dynamic stability control (DSC)
and anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
As soon as they detect a problem of grip or
trajectory, these systems act on the operation if
the engine and brakes.
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Deactivation
Operating fault
Illumination of this warning lamp and
the lamp in the deactivation button,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, indicate a fault with
the system.
Reactivation
Press this button.
The indicator lamp in the button comes on.
The DSC and ASR systems no longer act
on the operation of the engine and on the
brakes in the event of a involuntary change of
trajectory.
Press this button again.
Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of
grip permits.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked. In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the DSC and ASR, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip. The systems are reactivated automatically each
time the ignition is switched back on or from
30 mph (50 km/h).
Below 30 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate
them manually:

Main beam headlamps
(xenon model)
Remove the protective plastic cover by
pulling on the tab.
Remove the connector with the bulb by
pressing on the lug at the bottom.
Remove the bulb and change it.
For reassembly, carry out these operations in
reverse order.
The headlamps are fitted with
polycarbonate glass with a protective
coating:
do not clean them using a dr y
or abrasive cloth, nor with a
detergent or solvent product,
use a sponge and soapy water or a
pH neutral product,
when using a high pressure washer
on persistent marks, do not keep
the lance directed towards the
lamps or their edges for too long,
so as not to damage their protective
coating and seals.
Changing a bulb should only be done
after the headlamp has been switched
off for a few minutes (risk of serious
burns).
Do not touch the bulb directly with
your fingers, use a lint-free cloth.
It is imperative to use only anti-
ultraviolet (UV) type bulbs to avoid
damaging the headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a
new bulb with the same type and
specification.
Dipped beam headlamps
(xenon model)
D1S xenon bulbs must be changed
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop, as there is a risk of
electrocution.
It is recommended that the D1S bulbs
are changed at the same time when
one of them fails.
