Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without 
waiting. While accelerating changing up early. If your vehicle has 
the system, the gear shift indicator invites you to engage the most 
suitable gear; follow its instructions as soon as it is displayed in 
the instrument panel.
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 20 mph (30 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 (window 
blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic digital 
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.
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to \
optimise their fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions.
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.

To prevent the mat from becoming caught 
under the pedal:
- 
ensure that the mat is positioned
  
correctly,
-
 
never fit one mat on top of another

everse gear
Raise the collar under the gear knob to 
engage reverse gear. Never engage reverse gear before the 
vehicle is completely stationary.
The lever should be moved slowly to reduce 
the noise on engaging reverse gear.
If your vehicle is fitted with parking 
sensors, the system comes into 
operation when reverse gear is engaged; an 
audible signal is heard.

GEAr EFFIcIEncY  I nd I c AtO r
Depending on the engine or version, this 
system allows fuel consumption to be 
reduced by suggesting when to change up.
The gear engagement recommendations 
should not be considered to be compulsory. 
This because the configuration of the 
road, the traffic density 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.
The system never recommends engaging 
first gear or reverse, or changing down.

following circumstances:
-
 
when working underneath the vehicle,
-
 
when changing a wheel,
-
 
when the vehicle is being transported by
  
lorry, train, ferry, boat, ...
To avoid damaging the vehicle or injuring 
anyone, check that there is nothing or no 
person that might be close to or come into 
contact with the vehicle, before raising or 
lowering the suspension.

The presence of this label, in particular 
with the Stop & Start system, indicates the 
use of a specific 12 V lead-acid battery 
with special technology and specification. 
The involvement of a CITROËN dealer 
or a qualified workshop is essential when 
replacing or disconnecting the battery.These operations will keep your vehicle 
in good running order. Ask for advice 
from a CITROËN dealer or refer to the 
maintenance and warranty guide included in 
the handbook pack.

Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery 
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Bleeding water from the diesel 
filter
If this warning lamp comes on, 
bleed the filter, or bleed regularly 
each time the engine oil is 
changed.
To drain the water out, unscrew the bleed 
screw or the water in Diesel sensor, located 
at the base of the filter. Leave open until 
all of the water has been drained out. Then 
tighten the bleed screw or the water sensor.
Air filter and passenger 
compartment filter
A clogged passenger compartment filter 
may reduce the performance of the 
air conditioning system and generate 
undesirable odours. The replacement 
intervals for these components are given in 
the maintenance and warranty guide.
Depending on the environment (dusty 
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle 
(urban driving...), change them twice as 
often if necessary.
Refer to the "Checks - Under the 
bonnet" section.
HDi engines use advanced technology. 
All work requires a special qualification 
which is guaranteed by a CITROËN dealer 
or a qualified workshop.
