Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without
waiting. While accelerating changing up early. If your vehicle has
the system, the gear shift indicator invites you to engage the most
suitable gear; follow its instructions as soon as it is displayed in
the instrument panel.
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 20 mph (30 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, unless it has automatic digital
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.
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to \
optimise their fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions.
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.

34under-inflation alert
The alert is given by the fixed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
and depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
In the event of a problem on one of the
tyres, the symbol or the message appears,
according to equipment, to identify it.
-
Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering
movements or harsh brake applications.
-
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
-
In the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the
spare wheel (according to equipment).
-
In the event of under-inflation:
●
if you have a compressor
, the one
in the temporary puncture repair
kit for example, check the four tyre
pressures when cold,
or
●
if it is not possible to check the
tyre pressures at the time, drive
carefully at reduced speed and go
to the nearest CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of the tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
The alert is maintained until the tyre or
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by the illumination
of the service warning lamp, and
depending on equipment, the display of a
message indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures
is not assured.
This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels is not fitted with a sensor.
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop
to have the system checked or,
following the repair of a puncture, to have
the original wheel, equipped with a sensor,
refitted.

This indicator lamp goes of

and the engine restarts.
If following an automatic restart in START
mode, the driver takes no action on the
the vehicle during the next
3 minutes, the
system stops the engine definitively. The
engine can then only be restarted using
the
key. Special cases: S
tA rt invoked
automatically
The START mode is invoked automatically
when:
-
the vehicle's is free wheeling on a slope,
-
the windscreen wiper is on fast wipe,
-
the air conditioning is running,
-
the engine has been stopped for around
3 minutes with Stop & Start,
-
some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the
engine is needed to assure control of a
system.
In this case, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by this indicator
lamp, which flashes for a
few
seconds, then goes off.Good practice
With a manual gearbox in STOP mode, if a
gear is engaged without fully depressing the
clutch pedal, restarting may not take place.
An indicator lamp and/or message is
displayed in the instrument panel asking
you to fully depress the clutch pedal to allow
restarting.
t
his operation is perfectly normal.
With the vehicle in gear, automatic engine
restarting is only allowed by fully depressing
the clutch pedal.
With the engine stopped in STOP
mode, if the driver unfasten's
their seat belt and opens a front
door, the engine can only be
restarted using the ignition key. There is
an audible signal, accompanied by flashing
of this indicator lamp and the display of a
message.

In order to be programmed or activated,
the vehicle speed must be greater than
approximately 18 mph (30 km/h), with 2nd gear

"This is the selected speed which the driver
does not wish to exceed".
This selection is made with the vehicle
stationary and the engine running or with
the vehicle moving and 2
nd gear or higher
engaged.
The lowest speed that can be programmed
is 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed of the vehicle responds to the
pressure of the driver's foot as far as the
accelerator pedal point of resistance which
indicates that the programmed speed has
been reached. However, pressing the pedal beyond this
point of resistance to the floor permits
exceeding of the programmed speed. To
resume use of the limiter, simply reduce
the pressure on the accelerator pedal
gradually and return to a speed below that
programmed.
t
he operating actions may be carried out
with the vehicle stationary and the engine
