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 and change up without waiting.
During acceleration change up early.
With an automatic gearbox, give preference to automatic mode and
avoid pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
The gear efficiency 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 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.
control the use of your electrical
e quipment
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.

Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "EcO" w arning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
-
wi

th a manual gearbox , at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h) or vehicle stationary with
the THP 120 petrol and BlueHDi 115 and
120 Diesel versions, when you place the
gear lever in neutral and you release the
clutch pedal,
-
wi

th an automatic gearbox , vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or put the gear selector in position N .If your vehicle is fitted with the
system, a time counter calculates
the sum of the periods in STOP
mode during a journey. It resets itself
to zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the START/STOP

button.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the START/STOP button.
For your comfort, during parking
maoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
Stop & Start does not affect the
operation of vehicle systems such as
braking, power steering...
The Stop & Start
s

ystem puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, ...). The engine
restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.

The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
fastened before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as
they will not fulfil their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
permitting automatic adjustment of the
length of the strap to your size. The seat belt
is stowed automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fitted with an automatic
locking device which comes into operation in
the event of a collision, emergency braking
or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release
the device by pulling the strap firmly and
then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is
less than 12 years old or shorter than one
and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more
than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap.
For more information on child seats, refer to
the corresponding section.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
- be t
ightened as close to the body as
possible,
-
be p

ulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it does not
twist,
-
be u

sed to restrain only one person,
-
no

t bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
-
no

t be converted or modified to avoid
affecting its performance.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle's
seat belts, go to a qualified workshop with
the skills and equipment needed, which a
CITROËN dealer is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop,
particularly if the straps show signs of
damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product, sold by
CITROËN dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly.
In the event of an impact
depending on the nature and
s eriousness of the impact , the
pretensioning device may be deployed
before and independently of the airbags.
Deployment of the pretensioners is
accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat belts
system checked, and if necessary replaced,
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Airbags
General information
System designed to contribute towards
improving the safety of the occupants (with
the exception of the rear centre passenger)
in the event of violent collisions. The airbags
supplement the action of the seat belts fitted
with force limiters (all except the centre rear
passenger belt).
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-
in t
he case of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the occupants
of the vehicle (with the exception of the
rear centre passenger); immediately after
the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly so
that they do not hinder visibility or the exit
of the occupants,
-
in t

he case of a minor or rear impact or in
certain roll-over conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt
alone contributes towards ensuring your
protection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off. Deployment of one or more of the
airbags is accompanied by a slight
emission of smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight
irritation.
The noise of detonation related to the
deployment of one or more airbags may
result in a slight loss of hearing for a
short time.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Si de impact zone.
Front airbags
deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the
passenger's front airbag if it is deactivated, in the
event of a serious front impact to all or part of the
front impact zone A , in the longitudinal centreline
of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed
from the front to the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the thorax and
head of the front occupant of the vehicle and the
steering wheel, driver's side, and the dashboard,
passenger's side to cushion their for ward
movement. System which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious front impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the head and
thorax.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
This equipment will only deploy once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
airbag will not be deployed again.

15Hybrid4 system

Starting the Hybrid4 system


Activation of the Hybrid4 system

On activation of the Hybrid4 system, the
instrument panel lights up, the power indicator
needle is placed at position " 0
". The steering
column automatically unlocks (perceptible
noise and movement of the steering column).
Depending on certain parameters, such as the
state of charge of the high voltage battery or
the ambient temperature, the Hybrid4 system
itself determines whether it is necessary to
start the HDi Diesel engine.
The mode selector is at the AUTO
position.

In wintry conditions with the
engine cold, the Diesel pre-
heating warning lamp can stay
on for a few seconds; wait until
it goes off before releasing the
brake pedal.






























Starting - switching off the Hybrid4 system


Never leave children alone inside the
vehicle when the Hybrid4 system is
active.



)
Place the gear selector at position N
.

)
Insert the electronic key in the reader.
or


)
With Keyless Entry and Starting, simply
having the electronic key inside the vehicle
is sufficient.
)
Press the brake pedal firmly.


)
Make a single short press (about one
second) on the " START/STOP
" button.

)
Maintain pressure on the brake pedal until
the READY
lamp comes on, signalling
activation of the Hybrid4 system, confirmed
by an audible signal.

If the Hybrid4 system does not activate:


)
If N
is flashing in the instrument
panel, move the gear selector to
position A
then to position N
.

)
If the " Foot on the brake
" is
displayed, press the brake pedal
firmly.


The READY
lamp may come on after
a few seconds if there is a demand
for activation of the Hybrid4 system
after energy economy mode has been
entered.

Moving off


For more information on the
electric parking brake, refer to the
corresponding section in the handbook
for the vehicle.

You can change the operating mode of the
Hybrid4 system at any time using its mode
selector.
Driving in ZEV
mode requires that particular
conditions be met.

When your vehicle vehicle moves off
in electric mode, it makes no noise. Be
very careful of pedestrians, cyclists...
as, because of this, they will not hear
you coming.

Head-up display

The colour of the speedometer varies
according to the drive train used:


- white display: Diesel engine
running,

- blue display: Diesel engine
stopped.

Using automatic mode with the
electronic gearbox optimises gear
changes and so gives more economical
driving.


)
If automatic operation of the electric
parking brake has been deactivated, pull
then release the control lever to release the
parking brake manually.

)
Progressively release the brake pedal.

)
With the parking brake released, the
vehicle then moves off.
If the parking brake is still applied and is in
automatic mode, accelerate progressively.

)
Move the gear selector to
position A
(automatic mode) or M
(manual
mode) or R
(reverse).

29Hybrid4 system
This ventilation system does not operate at
the same speed at all times: it is continuously
adjusted to suit the cooling requirements of the
battery.
The noise of its operation can be heard,
particularly at the rear, after the Hybrid4 system
is switched off (post-ventilation).









Ventilation of the high voltage battery


Safety recommendations

Do not obstruct the air intake with
objects such as clothes or bags, in
order to avoid any risk of the battery
overheating, which could cause a loss
of per formance of the Hybrid4 system,
even damage to the battery.
Do not spill fluids, as this may damage
the battery and cause a short-circuit.






The high voltage battery has an air cooling
system.
This comprises an air intake (located on
the side of the left hand rear seat) and a fan
(located behind the left hand boot trim panel).
