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.

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

Switch off the air conditioning, unless
it
 
has
 
automatic
 
regulation,
 
as
 
soon
 
as
 
the

 
desired
 
temperature
 
is
 
attained.

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 BlueH

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.

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.

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.

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

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 modeThe "ECO"   warning   lamp  
comes

  on   in   the   instrument  
panel and the engine goes
into

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.
