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 ETG electronic gearbox, give preference to automatic (Easy)
mode and avoid pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
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.
Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
The gear efficiency 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 ETG electronic 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.

Comments
The function has been activated (green indicator).
The system has identified a marking on the ground (green
indicator).
The system is alerting you that a road marking is being crossed
(green and orange warning).
The display of this warning is accompanied by an audible signal.
The detection may be impeded:
-

i
f the ground markings are worn,
-

i
f there is little contrast between the markings on the ground and the road sur face,
-

i
f the windscreen is dirty,
-

i
n certain extreme weather conditions: fog, heavy showers, bright sunlight or direct
exposure to the sun (low sun, leaving a tunnel...) and shadows. F

P
ress this button again.
The status of the system remains in the
memory when the ignition is switched off.
In the event of a malfunction, this
(orange) warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.

Exterior lighting control stalk
Main lighting
The various front and rear lamps of the vehicle
are designed to adapt the driver's visibility
progressively according to the ambient light
level and weather:
-
s
idelamps, to be seen,
-

d
ipped beam headlamps to see without
dazzling other drivers,
-

m
ain beam headlamps to see clearly when
the road is clear.
Additional lighting
Other lamps are provided to meet the
requirements of particular driving conditions:
-

a r
ear foglamp,
-

d
aytime running lamps to be more visible
during the day. In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.Travelling abroad
If using your vehicle in a country that
drives on the other side of the road, the
headlamps must be adjusted to avoid
dazzling on-coming drivers.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

When the lighting is switched off automatically
(with AUTO model) or when the dipped beam
headlamps are switched off manually, the
foglamp and the sidelamps will remain on.
F

T
urn the ring rear ward and release to
switch off all the lamps. Rear foglamp. In good or rainy weather, both day
and night, use of the rear foglamp is
prohibited. In these situations, the
power of its beam may dazzle other
drivers. It should only be used in fog or
snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility to switch on the foglamp
and dipped beam headlamps manually
as the sunshine sensor may detect
sufficient light.
Do not forget to switch off the rear
foglamp when it is no longer needed.
Switching off the lamps when
the ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of the
lamps turn off immediately, except for
dipped beam if guide-me-home lighting
is activated.
Switching on the lamps after
the ignition is switched off
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate
the ring to the "0"
position - lamps off,
then to the desired position.
On opening the driver's door a
continuous audible signal warns the
driver that the lighting is on.

Automatic illumination of
headlamps
Switching on
F Turn the ring to the "AUTO" position.
Using a sunshine sensor, if a low level of
ambient light level is detected, the sidelamps
and dipped beam headlamps come on
automatically, without any action by the driver.
When the ambient light returns to a sufficient
level or the wipers are switched off, the lighting
is switched off automatically.
The sensor is located at the base of the
windscreen.
Switching off
F Turn the ring to another position. In foggy weather or in snow, the
sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light. The lighting will not come on
automatically.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, the
associated functions will no longer be
controlled.

Unwanted triggering of the system
It is possible for the system to detect a risk of
imminent collision and start working, in the
following conditions in particular:
-
d
etection of an object located close to the
outer edge of a bend (safety barrier, lamp
post or road sign),
-

d
etection of an object located at the top or
bottom of a steep slope,
-

d
etection of reflective objects (central
reservation...) in the road,
-

d
etection of the upper bar of a bridge or a
traffic light gantry,
-

d
etection of a vehicle on a bend travelling
in the other direction,
-

d
etection of a vehicle traveling in the other
direction, at a crossroads, when your
vehicle is turning left or right,
-

i
f the vehicle ahead of you sends up water
or snow,
-

i
f your vehicle stops very close to a wall or
other vehicles,
-

w
hen your vehicle closes rapidly on the
vehicle ahead,
-

i
f the vehicle is raised or lowered,
-
i

f the vehicle passes through a plastic curtain,
-

i
f driving through mist or smoke,
-

i
f the sensor is misaligned (following
replacement after a collision).
Never leave accumulations of snow or
any object projecting above the bonnet
or in front of the roof: this might fall into
the field of vision of the sensor and
generate a detection.
Operating limits
The system only detects
vehicles (cars, lorries)
that are stationary or moving in the same
direction as your vehicle. In difficult weather conditions (very
heavy rain, snow, fog, hail...), braking
distances increase, which can reduce
the ability of the system to avoid a
collision.
The driver must therefore remain
particularly vigilant.
The system is not triggered or is interrupted if
the driver:
-

a
ccelerates strongly (even if the speed
limiter is on),
-

o
r turns the steering wheel suddenly
(avoiding manoeuvre).
Detection capability is less effective if:
-

y
ou are driving on roads with pronounced
bends and/or on roads in poor condition,
-

y
our vehicle is excessively loaded, as
this changes the horizontal attitude of the
vehicle. It does not detect small vehicles
(bicycles, motorcycles), pedestrians or
animals, nor non-reflective stationary
objects.
