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.
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
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
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.
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.

A few definitions…
Range
(miles or km)
The distance which can still be 
travelled with the fuel remaining 
in the tank (at the average fuel 
consumption seen over the last 
few miles (kilometres) travelled).
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated over the last few seconds.
Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated since the last trip 
computer reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
Calculated since the last trip 
computer reset.
When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km), 
dashes are displayed. After filling with at least 
5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is 
displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
Stop & Start time 
counter
(minutes / seconds or hours / 
minutes)
If your vehicle is fitted with 
Stop & Start, a time counter 
calculates the time spent in 
STOP mode during a journey. 
It resets to zero every time the 
ignition is switched on with 
the key.
This function is only displayed from 
20 mph (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.
If dashes are displayed continuously 
while driving in place of the digits, 
contact a CITR oËn dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Distance travelled
(miles or km)
Calculated since the last trip 
computer reset.
The fuel consumption of your vehicle 
will be higher than the official figures 
obtained by CITROËN during the first 
1 800 miles (3 000 km) of the vehicle's 
life.
