16Eco-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.

STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the
engine temporarily on standby - ST OP
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
off. 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 the 6-speed electronic gear
control gearbox
, at a speed 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 the automatic gearbox
system, 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.
Never 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.

Good practice
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible
to exceed the value 15 by turning until
LO is displayed or the value 27 by
turning until HI is displayed.
On entering the vehicle, the inside
temperature may be much colder (or
warmer) than is comfortable. There is
no advantage in changing the value
displayed in order to quickly reach the
level of comfort required. The system
will use its maximum performance to
reach the comfort value set.

AUTO comfort programme
This is the normal air conditioning
system operating mode. Driver or passenger side comfort
value
The value indicated in the screen
corresponds to a level of comfort and
not a temperature in degrees Celsius
or Fahrenheit.
Turn this control to the left
or to the right to decrease or
increase the value. A setting
around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However,
depending on your requirements, a
setting between 18 and 24 is usual.
d
o not cover the sunshine sensor
located on the dashboard.
Press this button, the AUTO
symbol is displayed.
In accordance with the
comfort value selected,
the system controls the
distribution, the flow and the intake
of air to guarantee comfort and a
sufficient circulation of air in the
passenger compartment. No further
action on your part is required. When the engine is cold, to prevent
an excessive diffusion of cold air, the
air diffuser will reach its optimum level
gradually.
For your comfort, the settings are
stored when the ignition is switched off
and are reinstated the next time the
vehicle is started.
The automatic function will no longer
be maintained if you change a setting
manually (AUTO is cleared).

"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion
of hot or cool air in the passenger
compartment, there are adjustable
central and side vents which can
be directed sideways (right or left)
or vertically (up or down). For your
comfort while driving, do not close
them and direct the flow of air towards
the windows instead.
Air vents in the footwells and directed
towards the windscreen complete the
equipment.
Do not block the vents located at the
windscreen or the air extractor located
in the boot.
Dust filter, odour filter (activated
carbon)
This filter traps certain dust and limits
odours.
Ensure that this filter is in good
condition and have all of the filter
elements replaced regularly.
Refer to the "Checks" section of
chapter 7.
Air conditioning
In all seasons, the air conditioning
should only be used with the windows
closed. However, if the interior
temperature remains high after a
prolonged period parked in the sun, do
not hesitate to ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few minutes.
Use the AUTO mode as much as
possible as it permits optimised
control of all of the functions: air flow,
passenger compartment comfort
temperature, air distribution, air
intake mode or air recirculation in the
passenger compartment.
Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,
to keep it in good working order.
If the system does not produce cold air,
do not use it and contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Automatic mode: visibility
programme
The comfort programme (AUTO) may
not be sufficient to quickly demist or
defrost the windows (humidity, several
passengers, ice).
In this case, select the visibility
programme. The visibility programme
indicator comes on.
It activates the air conditioning, the air
flow and provides optimum distribution
of the ventilation to the windscreen and
side windows.
It deactivates the air recirculation. It is normal that the condensation
created by the air conditioning system
results in a flow of water which may
form a puddle under the vehicle when
parked.
