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.

Exterior lighting controls
Main lighting
The various front and rear lamps of the 
vehicle are designed to adapt the driver's 
visibility progressively in relation to the climatic 
conditions:
- sidelamps, to be seen,
-  dipped beam headlamps to see without 
dazzling other drivers,
-  main beam headlamps to see clearly when 
the road is clear.
Additional lighting
Other lamps are fitted to fulfil the requirements 
of particular driving conditions:
- a rear foglamp to be seen from a distance,
-  front foglamps for even better for ward 
vision,
-  directional headlamps for improved 
visibility when cornering,
-  daytime running lamps to be seen during 
the day.
Settings
Various automatic lighting control modes are 
also available depending on options:
- daytime running lamps,
-  automatic illumination of headlamps,
-   directional lighting,
-  guide-me-home lighting.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low 
temperature or humidity), the presence 
of misting on the internal sur face of the 
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps 
is normal; it disappears after the lamps 
have been on for a few minutes.
Control stalk for the selection and control of the various front and rear lamps providing the vehicle's lighting.

and rear foglamps
In good or rainy weather, both day and 
night, use of the front foglamps and the 
rear foglamps is prohibited. In these 
situations, the power of their beams 
may dazzle other drivers. They should 
only be used in fog or falling snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your 
responsibility to switch on the foglamps 
and dipped headlamps manually as the 
sunshine sensor may detect sufficient 
light.
Do not forget to switch off the front and 
rear foglamps when they are no longer 
needed.

The link with the automatic illumination of 
headlamps provides the guide-me-home 
lighting with the following additional options:
- selection of the duration of lighting for 15, 
30 or 60 seconds in the vehicle parameters 
menu,
-  automatic activation of the guide-me-home 
lighting when automatic illumination of 
headlamps is in operation.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the sunshine sensor, 
the lighting comes on and a message appears 
in the instrument panel screen, accompanied 
by an audible signal.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Automatic illumination of headlamps
Activation
F Turn ring A  to the "AUTO"  position. The automatic 
illumination of headlamps is accompanied by a 
message in the instrument panel screen.
Deactivation
F  Turn ring A to a position other than 
"AUTO" . Deactivation is accompanied by a

The sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are 
switched on automatically, without any action 
on the part of the driver, when a low level of 
external light is detected or in certain cases of 
activation of the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to a sufficient 
level or after the windscreen wipers are switched 
off, the lamps are switched off automatically.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor 
may detect sufficient light. Therefore, 
the lighting will not come on 
automatically.
do not cover the sunshine sensor, 
linked with the rain sensor and located 
in the centre of the windscreen behind 
the rear view mirror; the associated 
functions would no longer operate.
