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

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.

CONTROL
Unlocking the cab or the vehicle Unlocking the load spaceLocking
Press this button to lock the
vehicle completely.
The direction indicators flash once.
If one of the doors is open
(transportation of long loads) or is not
closed correctly, the central locking will
not work.
Deadlocking
A second press on the closed padlock
on the remote control within five
seconds after locking changes the
locking to deadlocking.
This is confirmed by fixed lighting
of the direction indicators for
approximately two seconds.
Deadlocking renders the exterior

Good practice
Take care not to allow the remote
control to come into contact with
grease, dust, rain or a damp
environment.
A heavy object attached to the key
(key ring, ...) weighing on the shaft
of the key in the switch, may cause a
malfunction.
REMOTE CONTROL
Reinitialising the remote
control
Following changing of the remote
control battery or disconnection of the
vehicle battery, the remote control may
have to be reinitialised.
Wait at least one minute before using
the remote control.
Insert the key in the ignition switch with
the buttons (padlocks) of the remote
control facing you.
Switch on the ignition.
Press the locking padlock for at
least five seconds within the next
ten
seconds.
Switch off the ignition.
Wait at least one minute before using
the remote control.
The remote control is now working
again.
Use only identical batteries or
batteries of an equivalent type to those
recommended by CITROËN dealers.
Do not discard the remote control
batteries, they contain metals which
are harmful to the environment.
Deposit them at a CITROËN
dealership, or at an authorised
collection point.
Unfolding / folding
Changing the battery
Battery ref.: CR1620 / 3 volts.
The "battery flat" information is given
by an audible signal, accompanied by
a message in the screen.
To replace the battery, unclip the
casing using a coin at the ring.
If the remote control does not work
after the battery has been changed,
reinitialise the remote control.
There is a risk of damage if the
replacement battery is not the correct
type. If you do not press the button,
the mechanism of the key
may be damaged.

Good practice
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even
when it is in your pocket, may result in
involuntary unlocking of the doors.
The simultaneous use of other
high frequency equipment (mobile
telephones, domestic alarms…), may
interfere with the operation of the
remote control temporarily.
The remote control does not operate
while the key is in the ignition, even if
the ignition is off.
ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER
All of the keys contain an electronic
immobiliser device.
This device locks the engine supply
system. It is activated automatically
when the key is removed from the
ignition.
a
fter the ignition is switched on, a
dialogue is established between the
key and the electronic immobiliser
system.
The metal part of the key must be
unfolded correctly for correct dialogue
to take place.
If you lose your keys
Visit a CITR
o Ë n dealer with the
vehicle's V5 registration certificate and
your identification document.
a CITR
o Ë n dealer will be able
to retrieve the key code and
the transponder code so that a
replacement key can be ordered.
Don't forget
When leaving the vehicle, check that
the lighting is off and nothing of value
is visible.
a
s a safety precaution (with children
on board), remove the key from the
ignition when leaving the vehicle, even
for a short time.
When purchasing a second-hand
vehicle, have the keys memorised by
a CITR
o Ë n dealer, so as to be sure
that the keys in your possession are
the only ones that can be used to start
the vehicle.
ALARM
If fitted on your vehicle, this provides
two types of protection:
-
exterior protection: it sounds if a
front/rear door or the bonnet is
opened.
-
interior protection: it sounds if
the volume inside the passenger
compartment changes (breaking of
a window or a movement inside the
vehicle).
If
your vehicle is fitted with a separation
partition, the interior protection is not
active in the load space.
Locking the vehicle with
complete alarm
Setting the alarm
- Switch of f the ignition and get out of
the vehicle.
-
Set the alarm within five minutes of
getting out of the vehicle, by locking
