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.
d
isconnect 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.

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.

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

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.
Manual mode
Changing to manual mode
Move the gear selector to M. Automatic mode Changing to automatic
mode
Move the gear selector to A.
The gearbox then operates in
automatic
mode,
without
any
action
on
your
part.
It constantly selects the gear that is
best
suited
to
the
following
conditions:
-
driving style,
-
road
profile,
-
optimum
fuel
consumption.

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
mode
- 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.
