Eco-drivingEco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
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 to change up: as soon as the
indication to change up is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it
straight away.
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.
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.
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.

Lighting controls
Stalk for selecting and switching the vehicle's
front and rear exterior lamps.Main lighting
The various front and rear lamps of the vehicle
are designed to adapt the lighting progressively
in relation to the climatic conditions and so
ensure the best visibility for the driver:
-
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 fulfil the
requirements of particular driving conditions:
-
r
ear foglamps to be seen from a distance,
-
f
ront foglamps for even better visibility,
-
d
aytime running lamps to be seen 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. Other lighting functions are also available:
-
a
utomatic illumination of
headlamps,
-
g
uide-me-home lighting,
-
w
elcome lighting.
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.

Automatic switching off
When the lighting control stalk is at "dipped or
main beam headlamps", if the ignition switch
is at "LOCK" or "ACC" or if the key has been
removed from the ignition switch, the lamps
switch off automatically when the driver's
door is opened .
Daytime running lamps
Daytime lighting which comes on automatically
when the engine is started making the vehicle
more visible to other users.
This function is assured by special lamps.
The lighting control stalk must be placed in
position "0" or "AUTO" (day mode).
Automatic illumination of headlamps
The sidelamps and the dipped beam headlamps
come on automatically, without any action on the
part of the driver, if a low level of exterior light is
detected or if the wipers are switched on.
When the 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.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
to adjust the sensitivity of the sensor.

Changing a bulb
For bulbs that have alignment
lugs (H1, H7...) ensure that they are
fitted correctly for the best lighting
performance.
The headlamps have polycarbonate
lenses with a protective coating:
F
d
o not clean them using a dr y
or abrasive cloth, nor with a
detergent or solvent product,
F
u
se a sponge and soapy water,
F
w
hen using a high pressure washer
on persistent marks, do not keep
the lance directed towards the
lamps or their edges for too long,
so as not to damage their protective
coating and seals.
F
D
o not touch the bulb directly with
your fingers, use lint-free cloths.
Changing a bulb should only be done
after the headlamp has been switched
off for several minutes (risk of serious
burns).
It is imperative to use only anti-
ultraviolet (UV) type bulbs in order not
to damage the headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a
new bulb with the same type and
specification.
Risk of electrocution
Replacement of the xenon bulbs
(D1S-35W) must be carried out by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
