Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and Co
2 emissions.
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
 
CO2 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.

Motoring & the Environment
Berlingo-2-VP_en_Chap02_eco-conduite_ed02-2015
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   in   the   door   aperture,   driver's   side.
Carry
  out   this   check   in   particular:
-
 
before
  a   long   journey,
-

at each change of season,
-

 
after
  a   long   period   out   of   use.
d

on't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or
caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil
filter,
  air   filter,   passenger   compartment   filter...)   and  
observe

  the   schedule   of   operations   recommended   in   the  
manufacturer's

  service   schedule.
With
  a   BlueHDi   Diesel   engine,   if   the   SCR   system   is  
faulty

  your   vehicle   becomes   polluting;   go   to   a   CITROËN  
dealer

  or   a   qualified   workshop   without   delay   to   have   the  
emissions

  of   nitrous   oxides   brought   back   to   the   legal   level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of
the
  nozzle   to   avoid   any   overflow.
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   to   a   consistent   average.

EMISSIONS CONTROLS
EoBd (European on Board diagnosis) is a diagnostics
system
  which   complies  
with,

  among   others,   the  
standards on the authorised
emissions of:
-

 
CO

 
(carbon   monoxide),
-

HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
-

no
x (nitrous oxides) or particles,
detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream
  and   downstream   of   the  
catalytic

  converters.
The
 
driver
 
is
 
warned
 
of
 
any
 
malfunction
 
of

 
this
 
emission   control   system   by   the  
illu

mination   of   this   specific   warning  
lamp

 
in
 
the   instrument   panel.
There
 
is
 
a   risk   of   damage   to   the  
catalytic

 
converter.   Have   it   checked  
by

 
a
 
CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
workshop.
UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
This system continuously  monitors  
the pressures of the four
tyres, as soon as the
vehicle

  is   moving.
a pressure sensor is located in the
valve of each tyre (except the spare
wheel).
The

 
system
 
triggers   an   alert   if   a   drop  
in

 
pressure
 
is
 
detected   in   one   or   more  
tyres.The

 
tyre
 
under-inflation   detection  
system

 
is
 
an   aid   to   driving   which  
does not replace the need for
vigilance

 
on   the   part   of   the   driver.This
  system   does   not   avoid   the  need
  to   check   the   tyre   pressures  
regularly (including the spare
wheel)

  and   before   a   long   journey.
Driving
  with   under-inflated   tyres  
adversely af

fects road holding,
extends
  braking   distances   and   causes  
premature

  tyre   wear,   particularly   under  
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high

  speed,   long   journey).
Driving
  with   under-inflated   tyres  
increases

  fuel   consumption.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle
can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
Refer
  to   chapter   9,   "Identification  
markings"

  section.
The
  tyre   pressures   must   be   checked  
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after driving for less then
6

  miles   (10   km)   at   moderate   speed).
Otherwise,
  add   0.3   bar   to   the   values  
indicated

  on   the   label.

UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION WITH REINITIALISATION
System which automatically checks the pressures  of   the   tyres   while   driving.
The
  system   monitors   the   pressures  
in the four tyres, once the vehicle is
moving.
It

  compares   the   information   given   by  
the four wheel speed sensors with
reference values, which must be
reinitialised every time the tyre
pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed

.
The
  system   triggers   an   alert   as   soon  
as

  it   detects   a   drop   in   the   inflation  
pressure

  of   one   or   more   tyres. The   under-inflation   detection  system
  does   not   replace   the   need  
for vigilance on the part of the
driver

.
This
  system   does   not   avoid   the   need   to  
check

  the   tyre   pressures   (including   the  
spare

  wheel)   every   month   as   well   as  
before

  a   long   journey.
Driving
  with   under-inflated   tyres  
impairs

  road   holding,   extends   braking  
distances

  and   causes   premature  
tyre wear

, particularly under arduous
condition (high loading, high speed,
long
  journey).
Driving
  with   under-inflated   tyres  
increases

  fuel   consumption.The
  inflation   pressures   defined   for  your vehicle can be found on the
tyre
  pressure   label.
For
  more   information   on   the  
identification

  markings,   refer   to   the  
corresponding

  section.
Tyre
  pressures   should   be   checked  
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped

  for   1   hour   or   after   a   journey   of  
less

  than   6   miles   (10   km)   at   moderate  
speeds).
Otherwise

  (when   hot),   add   0.3   bar   to  
the

  pressures   shown   on   the   label.

The information appears in the  instrument   panel   in   the  
form

  of   an   arrow.
The
  system   adapts   its   gear  
change

  recommendation  
according to the driving conditions
(slope,

 
load, ...)   and   the   demands  
of the driver (power

, acceleration,
braking, ...).
The
 
system   never   suggests:
-
 
engaging
  first   gear,
-
 
engaging
  reverse   gear.
With
 
an
 
electronic
 
gearbox,
 
the
 
system
 
is

 
only
 
active
 
in
 
manual
 
mode.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
System which reduces fuel consumption   by   recommending   the  
most

  appropriate   gear.
Operation
depending on the driving situation and
your   vehicle's   equipment,   the   system  
may

  advise   you   to   skip   one   (or   more)  
gear(s).

 
Y
ou   can   follow   this   instruction  
without

  engaging   the   intermediate  
gears.
The

  gear   engagement  
recommendations

  must   not   be  
considered

  compulsory.   In   fact,   the  
configuration

  of   the   road,   the   amount  
of

  traffic   and   safety   remain   determining  
factors when choosing the best
gear

.  
Therefore,
  the   driver   remains  
responsible for deciding whether or
not to follow the advice given by the
system.
This

  function   cannot   be   deactivated.

Acceleration
For optimum acceleration (e.g. to overtake  another   vehicle),   simply  
press the pedal beyond the point of
resistance at the end of its travel, by
pressing

  down   firmly.
Vehicle stationary, with the
engine running
In the event of a prolonged stop with
the engine running, the gearbox
changes  automatically   to   neutral   N.
Stopping the vehicle
Before stopping the engine, put the
gear selector in position N.
In all cases, it is essential to apply
the
  parking   brake.   Check   that   the  
parking

  brake   warning   lamp   is   on   in   the  
instrument

  panel.
Before doing anything in the
engine
  compartment,   check   that  
the gear selector is in neutral

N.
Changing gear
In situations of high engine speeds
(heavy acceleration), a change
up will not occur unless the driver
operates the electronic gearbox control
paddle. Pull on the "+" control
paddle
  to   change   up.
Pull on the "-" control
paddle to change
down.
-

If the vehicle stops or reduces
speed

  (for   example   when  
approaching a stop sign),
the gearbox changes down
automatically

,   to   first   gear   if  
needed.
-


It is not necessary to release the
accelerator

  completely   during   gear  
changes.
-

a
gear change instruction is
accepted only if the engine speed
permits.
-


For safety reasons, depending on
the engine speed, a change down
may

  be   performed   automatically.

STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
  temporarily   on   standby   -   STOP mode

  -   during   stops   in   the   traffic   (red  
lights,

  traffic   jams,   or   other...).  
The
 
engine

  restarts   automatically   -   START

  -   as   soon   as   you   want   to   move  
of

f.  
The
  restart   takes   place   instantly,  
quickly

  and   silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system
  reduces   fuel   consumption   and  
exhaust

  emissions   as   well   as   the   noise  
level

  when   stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"  warning  lamp  comes on
  in   the   instrument   panel   and the

  engine   goes   into   standby:
- with a manual gearbox , at speeds
below   12   mph   (20   km/h),   when   you  
put the gear lever into neutral and
release the clutch pedal,
-


with
a 6-speed electronic
gearbox,
  at   speeds   below   5   mph  
(8

  km/h),   when   you   press   the   brake  
pedal or put the gear lever into
position

N. If
  your   vehicle   is   fitted   with   the   system,  
a

  time   counter   calculates   the   sum   of  
the

  periods   in   STOP
 
mode   during   a  
journey

.   It   rests   itself   to   zero   every   time  
the

  ignition   is   switched   on   with   the   key.
With   a   6-speed   electronic  
gearbox,

  for   your   comfort   during  
parking

  manoeuvres,   STOP
 
mode  
is not available for a few seconds after
coming

  out   of   reverse   gear.
STOP
 
mode   does   not   affect   the  
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking,

  power   steering,   for   example.
n

ever refuel with the engine in
STOP
 
mode;   you   must   switch   off  
the

  ignition   with   the   key.Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
STOP
 
mode   is   not   invoked   when:
-
the driver's door is open,
-

the driver's seat belt is not
fastened,
-

the vehicle has not exceeded
6 mph

  (10   km/h)   since   the   last  
engine

  start   using   the   key,
-  
the
  engine   is   needed   to   maintain  
a

  comfortable   temperature   in   the  
passenger

  compartment,
-  
demisting
  is   on,
-  
some
  special   conditions   (battery  
charge,

  engine   temperature,  
braking

  assistance,   ambient  
temperature...)

  where   the   engine  
is needed to assure control of a
system.
In this case, the
"ECO"
warning   lamp   flashes   for   a  
few

  seconds,   then   goes   off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
