Eco-driving is a range of everyday
practices that allow the motorist to
optimise
their fuel consumption and
C
o
2 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
to
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
help
to
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
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.
a
s 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.
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.

Don't forget
When leaving the vehicle, check that
the lighting is of
f and nothing of value
is
visible.
a
s a safety precaution (with children
on
board), remove the key from the
ignition when leaving the vehicle, even
for
a short time.
Good practice
Do not make any modifications to the electronic immobiliser system.
Operating
the remote control, even
when
it is in your pocket, may result in
involuntary
unlocking of the doors.
The
simultaneous use of other
high
frequency equipment (mobile
telephones,
domestic alarms…), may
interfere with the operation of the
remote
control temporarily.
The
remote control does not operate
while
the key is in the ignition, even if
the
ignition is off.
ELECTRONIC
IMMOBILISER
If you lose your keys
Visit a CITRo Ë n dealer with the
vehicle's
V5 registration certificate and
your
identification document.
a CITR
o Ë n dealer will be able
to
retrieve the key code and
the transponder code so that a
replacement
key can be ordered.When purchasing a second-hand
vehicle,
have the keys memorised by
a CITR
o Ë n dealer, so as to be sure
that the keys in your possession are
the only ones that can be used to start
the
vehicle.
ALARM
If fitted on your vehicle, this provides two
types of protection:
-
exterior
protection: it sounds if a
front/rear
door or the bonnet is
opened.
-
interior
protection: it sounds if
the
volume inside the passenger
compartment
changes (breaking of
a
window or a movement inside the
vehicle).
If
your
vehicle
is
fitted
with
a
separation
partition, the interior protection is not
active
in the load space.
Locking the vehicle with
complete alarm
Setting the alarm
- Switch off the ignition and get out of
the vehicle.
-
Set
the alarm within five minutes of
getting
out of the vehicle, by locking
or
deadlocking using the remote
control.
The
red LED, located in the
button,
flashes once per second.
All of the keys contain an electronic immobiliser device.
This
device locks the engine supply
system.
It is activated automatically
when
the key is removed from the
ignition.
a
fter the ignition is switched on, a
dialogue
is established between the key
and
the electronic immobiliser system.
The
metal part of the key must be
unfolded correctly for correct dialogue
to
take place.

Instruments and controls
UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION WITH REINITIALISATION
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The
system monitors the pressures
in the four tyres, once the vehicle is
moving.
It
compares the information given by
the four wheel speed sensors with
reference values, which must be
reinitialised every time the tyre
pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed
.
The
system triggers an alert as soon
as
it detects a drop in the inflation
pressure
of one or more tyres. The under-inflation detection system
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 (including the
spare
wheel) every month as well as
before
a long journey.
Driving
with under-inflated tyres
impairs
road holding, extends braking
distances
and causes premature
tyre wear
, particularly under arduous
condition (high loading, high speed,
long
journey).
Driving
with under-inflated tyres
increases
fuel consumption.The
inflation pressures defined for your vehicle can be found on the
tyre
pressure label.
For
more information on the
identification
markings, refer to the
corresponding
section.
Tyre
pressures should be checked
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped
for 1 hour or after a journey of
less
than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speeds).
Otherwise
(when hot), add 0.3 bar to
the
pressures shown on the label.

MANUAL GEARBO x
5-speed
6-speed
To change gear easily, always depress
the
clutch
pedal fully.
To
prevent
the
mat from becoming
caught
under
the pedal:
-
ensure
that
the mat is positioned
and
secured correctly on the floor,
-
never
fit
one mat on top of another.
When driving, avoid leaving your hand
on
the
gear
knob as the force exerted,
even
if
slight,
may wear the internal
components
of
the gearbox over time.
Changing into 5th or 6th gear
To engage the gear correctly, move the gear lever fully to the right.
Engaging reverse gear
The lever should be moved slowly to reduce noise.
To engage reverse gear, wait until the
vehicle
has come to a complete stop.
STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
When the vehicle is stationary,
release
the steering wheel adjustment
mechanism
by pulling the lever.
Adjust
the steering wheel for height
and
reach, then lock the mechanism by
pushing
the lever fully forward. In
the 6-speed configuration, raise the collar
below the gear knob.
