Berlingo2VP_en_Chap02_eco-conduite_ed02-2016
Eco-driving is a range of everyday
practices that allow the motorist to
optimise their fuel consumption and
CO
2 emissions.
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   efficiency   indicator   invites  
you

  to   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 help to 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 equipment
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.
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.

Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle;
place the heaviest items in the bottom
of the boot, as close as possible to
the  rear   seats.
Limit the loads carried in the
vehicle and reduce wind resistance
(roof
  bars,   roof   rack,   bicycle  
carrier

,   trailer...).   Use   a   roof   box   in  
preference.
Remove

  roof   bars   and   roof   racks  
after

  use.
At the end of winter, remove snow
tyres
  and   refit   your   summer   tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the
door  aperture,   driver's   side.
Carry
  out   this   check   in   particular:
-
 
before
  a   long   journey,
-

at each change of season,
-

 
after
  a   long   period   out   of   use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the
tyres
  on   any   trailer   or   caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly
(engine
  oil,   oil   filter,   air   filter,   passenger  
compartment

  filter...)   and   observe   the  
schedule of operations recommended
in

  the   manufacturer's   service   schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the
SCR system is faulty your vehicle
becomes polluting; go to a CITROËN
dealer
  or   a   qualified   workshop   without  
delay to have the emissions of nitrogen
oxides

  brought   back   to   the   legal   level.When refuelling, do not continue after
the third cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any
  overflow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle,
it
  is   only   after   the   first   1   800   miles  
(3 000

  kilometres)   that   you   will   see  
the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent

  average.

EMISSIONS CONTROLS
EOBD (European On Board
Diagnosis) is a diagnostics
system which complies with,
among others, the standards
on  emissions   limits   of:
-

CO (carbon monoxide),
-


HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
-


NOx (nitrogen oxides), detected
by oxygen sensors placed
downstream of the catalytic
converters,
-

 
particles.
UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
This system
continuously monitors
the pressures of the four
tyres, as soon as the
vehicle   is   moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the
valve of each tyre (except the spare
wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop
in pressure is detected in one or more
tyres.
The
 
tyre
 
under-inflation   detection  
system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the need for
vigilance

 
on   the   part   of   the   driver.
The driver is warned of any
malfunction of this emissions
control system by the illumination
of this warning lamp in the instrument
panel.
If this warning lamp comes on, have
it
 
checked
 
by
 
a
 
CITROËN
 
dealer
 
or
 
a
 
qualified

 
workshop. This system does not avoid the
need
  to   check   the   tyre   pressures  
regularly (including the spare
wheel)

  and   before   a   long   journey.
Driving
  with   under-inflated   tyres  
adversely af

fects road holding,
extends
  braking   distances   and   causes  
premature tyre wear

, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high
  speed,   long   journey).
Driving
  with   under-inflated   tyres  
increases

  fuel   consumption.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle
can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
Refer
  to   chapter   9,   "Identification  
markings"

  section.
The
  tyre   pressures   must   be   checked  
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after driving for less then
6

  miles   (10   km)   at   moderate   speed).
Otherwise,
  add   0.3   bar   to   the   values  
indicated

  on   the   label.

UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION WITH REINITIALISATION
System which automatically checks the pressures  of   the   tyres   while   driving.
The system monitors the pressures
in the four tyres, once the vehicle is
moving.
It compares the information given by
the four wheel speed sensors with
reference values, which must be
reinitialised every time the tyre
pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon
as
  it   detects   a   drop   in   the   inflation  
pressure

  of   one   or   more   tyres. The   under-inflation   detection  system does not replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the
driver
.
This system does not avoid the need to
check
  the   tyre   pressures   (including   the  
spare wheel) every month as well as
before

  a   long   journey.
Driving
  with   under-inflated   tyres  
impairs

  road   holding,   extends   braking  
distances and causes premature
tyre wear

, particularly under arduous
condition (high loading, high speed,
long
  journey).
Driving
  with   under-inflated   tyres  
increases

  fuel   consumption.The
  inflation   pressures   defined   for  your vehicle can be found on the
tyre
  pressure   label.
For more information on the
identification
  markings,   refer   to   the  
corresponding

  section.
Tyre
  pressures   should   be   checked  
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped

  for   1   hour   or   after   a   journey   of  
less

  than   6   miles   (10   km)   at   moderate  
speeds).
Otherwise

  (when   hot),   add   0.3   bar   to  
the

  pressures   shown   on   the   label.

The information appears
in the instrument panel
in  the   form   of   an   arrow.   It  
may be accompanied by a
recommended

  gear.
The system adapts its gear
change recommendation
according to the driving conditions
(slope,
 
load, ...)   and   the   demands  
of the driver (power

, acceleration,
braking, ...).
The
 
system   never   suggests:
-
 
engaging
  first   gear,
-
 
engaging
  reverse   gear.
With an electronic gearbox, the system
is
 
only
 
active
 
in
 
manual
 
mode.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
Depending on the driving situation and
your vehicle's equipment, the system
may   advise   you   to   skip   one   (or   more)  
gear(s).

 
Y
ou   can   follow   this   instruction  
without engaging the intermediate
gears.
The gear engagement
recommendations must not be
considered

  compulsory.  
This
  is  
because

  the   configuration   of   the   road,  
the

  traffic   density   and   safety   remain  
determining factors when choosing
the

  best   gear.  
Therefore,
  the   driver  
remains responsible for deciding
whether or not to follow the indications
given.
This

  function   cannot   be   deactivated.

Acceleration
For optimum acceleration (e.g. to overtake  another   vehicle),   simply  
press the pedal beyond the point of
resistance at the end of its travel, by
pressing

  down   firmly.
Vehicle stationary, with the
engine running
In the event of a prolonged stop with
the engine running, the gearbox
changes automatically to neutral N.
Stopping the vehicle
Before stopping the engine, put the
gear selector in position N.
In all cases, it is essential to apply
the  parking   brake.   Check   that   the  
parking

  brake   warning   lamp   is   on   in   the  
instrument

  panel.
Before doing anything in the
engine
  compartment,   check   that  
the gear selector is in neutral

N.
Changing gear
In situations of high engine speeds
(heavy acceleration), a change
up will not occur unless the driver
operates the electronic gearbox control
paddle. Pull on the "+" control
paddle
  to   change   up.
Pull on the "-" control
paddle to change
down.
-

If the vehicle stops or reduces
speed (for example when
approaching a stop sign),
the gearbox changes down
automatically

,   to   first   gear   if  
needed.
-


It is not necessary to release the
accelerator completely during gear
changes.
-


A
gear change instruction is
accepted only if the engine speed
permits.
-

For safety reasons, depending on
the engine speed, a change down
may

  be   performed   automatically.
Manual mode

STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the
engine temporarily on standby - ST OP
mode
  -   during   stops   in   the   traffic   (red  
lights,

  traffic   jams,   or   other...).
The engine restarts automatically -
START mode - as soon as you want to
move
  off.
The
  restart   takes   place   instantly,  
quickly

  and   silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise
level
  when   stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP modeThe "ECO" warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel and the engine goes
into
  standby:
-

with a manual gearbox
, at speeds
below
  12   mph   (20   km/h),   when   you  
put the gear lever into neutral and
release the clutch pedal,
-


with a 6-speed electronic
gearbox

, at speeds below 5 mph
(8
  km/h),   when   you   press   the   brake  
pedal or put the gear lever into
position

N. If
  your   vehicle   is   fitted   with   the   system,  
a time counter calculates the sum of
the periods in ST

OP mode during a
journey.   It   rests   itself   to   zero   every   time  
the

  ignition   is   switched   on   with   the   key.
With a 6-speed electronic
gearbox, for your comfort during
parking   manoeuvres,   STOP
 
mode  
is not available for a few seconds after
coming

  out   of   reverse   gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking,   power   steering,   for   example.
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch off
the   ignition   with   the   key.Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
STOP
 

mode   is   not   invoked   when:
-
the vehicle is on a steep slope
(rising or fallin

g),
-
the driver's door is open,
-

the driver's seat belt is not
fastened,
-

the vehicle has not exceeded

6   mph   (10   km/h)   since   the   last  
engine

  start   using   the   key,
-
the engine is needed to maintain
a comfortable temperature in the
passenger compartment,
-

demisting is on,
-

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, the
"ECO"
warning
  lamp   flashes   for   a  
few

  seconds,   then   goes   off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
