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 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 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.
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions.
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.

Engine oil level indicator*
Oil level correct
Oil level lowOil level indicator fault
In the event of a fault with the electric oil
gauge, the engine oil level is no longer
monitored.
While the system is faulty, you should
check the engine oil level using the
dipstick located under the bonnet.
Refer to the "Checking levels" section.
This is indicated by the flashing of " O I L"
, linked
with the service warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message in the
multifunction screen.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using
the dipstick, the level must be topped up to
prevent damage to the engine.
Refer to the "Checking levels" section. This is signaled by the flashing of "OIL- -"
.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The level shown will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for more than
30


minutes.
On versions fitted with an electric oil level
gauge, information on the engine oil level is
displayed for a few seconds in the instrument
panel when the ignition is switched on, after the
service information.
* Depending on version.

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the guidelines on operation and
maintenance below:
F
I
f the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been parked in the
sun for a considerable time, first ventilate the passenger compartment for a
few minutes.
P

lace the air flow control at a sufficient level to provide an adequate renewal of air in
the passenger compartment.
F

T
o obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles
located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well
as the air extractor located in the passenger compartment on both sides of the rear shelf.
F

D
o not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard (behind the instrument
panel); this is used for regulation of the air conditioning system.
F

O
perate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep it
in good working order.
F

E
nsure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly (see the "Checks" section).


W
e recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its
second special active filter, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the
occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
F

T
o ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
it checked regularly.
F

I
f the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop. The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the
air conditioning saves engine power and so improves towing capacity.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge
of water under the vehicle which is
perfectly normal.

Reinitialisation
Deactivating the rear window and
door controls
F For the safety of your children, press switch 5 to prevent operation of the rear
windows irrespective of their position.
With the indicator lamp on, the rear controls are
deactivated.
With the indicator lamp off, the rear controls are
activated.
When the function is activated,
this warning lamp lights up on the
instrument panel for a few seconds.
This control also deactivates the interior
rear door controls.
For more information, refer to the
"Electric child lock" section. In the event of contact during operation
of the windows, you must reverse the
movement of the window. To do this,
press the switch concerned.
When the driver operates the
passenger electric window switches,
they must ensure that no one is
preventing correct closing of the
windows.
The driver must ensure that the
passengers use the electric windows
c o r r e c t l y.
Be particularly aware of children when
operating the windows.
Safety anti-pinch
The one-touch electric windows are fitted with
a safety anti-pinch function.
When the window rises and meets an obstacle,
it stops and partially lowers again.
In the event of unwanted opening of the
window on closing (for example in the
presence of frost):
F

p
ress the switch until it opens
completely,
F

t
hen pull it immediately until it
closes,
F

c
ontinue to hold the switch for
approximately one second after the
window has closed.
The safety anti-pinch function is not
active during these operations. In the event of a malfunction you must reinitialise
the operation of the electric windows:
F
r elease the switch and pull it again until the
window closes completely,
F

h
old the switch for approximately
one


second after closing,
F

p
ress the switch to lower the window
automatically.
The safety anti-pinch function is not active
during these operations.
Always remove the key from the ignition when
leaving the vehicle, even for a short time.

Fuel tank
Low fuel levelFilling
A label affixed to the inside of the flap reminds
you of the type of fuel to be used depending on
your engine.
When the low fuel level is reached
this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel. When it first comes
on there remains approximately
5

litres of fuel in the tank. To fill the tank safely:
F

t
he engine must be switched off,
F

o
pen the fuel filler flap,
F

i
nsert the key in the cap, then turn it to the
left,
F

r
emove the cap and hook it onto the clip
located on the inside of the flap,
F

f
ill the tank, but do not continue after the
3rd cut- off of the pump ; this could cause
malfunctions.
When you have filled the tank:
F

p
ut the cap back in place,
F

t
urn the key to the right, then remove it
from the cap,
F

c
lose the flap.
Additions of fuel must be of at least
5

litres to be registered by the fuel
gauge.
The key cannot be removed from the
lock until the cap is refitted.
Opening the filler cap may create a
noise caused by an inrush of air. This
vacuum is entirely normal and results
from the sealing of the fuel system.
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres
(petrol) or 48 litres (Diesel); (Depending on
version: approximately 30 litres (petrol or
Diesel)).
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also to the
"Checks" section.
