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.
Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently, change up without waiting and
drive by changing up quite soon.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, stay in Drive "D" or
a
u
to "A",
according to the type of gearbox, without pressing the accelerator pedal
heavily or suddenly.
The gear shift indicator invites you to select the most suitable gear:
once the indication is displayed in the instrument panel, follow the
advice straight away.
For vehicles fitted with an electronic or automatic gearbox, this indicator
only appears 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 (window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning 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 foglamp 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.
Eco-driving

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:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) and
observe the schedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.
When refuelling, do not continue after the 3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles
(3

000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to
a consistent average.

Engine oil
pressure fixed.
There is a fault with the engine
lubrication system. You must stop as soon it is safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Battery charge fixed. The battery charging circuit has a
fault (dirty or loose terminals, slack or
cut alternator belt, ...). The warning lamp should go off when the engine is
started.
If it does not go off, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Door(s) open /

fixed and accompanied
by an audible signal
if the speed is above
6
mph (10 km/h).
Low fuel level
fixed. When it first comes on there remains
approximately 5 litres of fuel in the
tank. You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out of fuel.
This warning lamp will come on every time the ignition
is switched on, until a sufficient addition of fuel is
made.
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres.
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel as
this could damage the emission control and injection
systems.

If dashes are displayed continuously
while driving in place of the digits,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.This function is only displayed from
30
km/h.
This value may vary following a change
in the style of driving or the relief,
resulting in a significant change in the
current fuel consumption.
Trip computer, a few definitions
Range
(k m)
The number of kilometres which
can be covered with the fuel
remaining in the tank. Related
to the average fuel consumption
over the last few kilometres
travelled.
When the range falls below 30 km, dashes are
displayed. After filling with at least 5 litres of
fuel, the range is recalculated and is displayed
when it exceeds 100 km.
Current fuel consumption
(l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated during the last
few seconds.

Automated mode
AUTO and the gear engaged appear
in the instrument panel.
Manual mode
The gears engaged appear in
succession in the instrument panel.
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any action on the part of the
driver. It continuously selects the most suitable
gear taking account of:
-

o

ptimisation of fuel consumption,
-

d

riving style,
-

r

oad conditions,
-

v

ehicle load.
For optimum acceleration, when overtaking
another vehicle for example, press the
accelerator pedal fully down, beyond the point
of resistance. The gear change requests are only carried out
if the engine speed permits.
It is not necessary to release the accelerator
pedal during gear changes.
When braking or slowing down, the gearbox
changes down automatically so that the vehicle
picks up in the right gear.
Under full acceleration, the change up will
not take place unless the driver operates the
gear lever (unless the engine is close to its
maximum speed).
