2017 Citroen BERLINGO RHD gearbox

16Eco-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.

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). You 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.
With an electronic gearbox, the system
is only active in manual mode. 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
.
The information appears
in the instrument panel
in the form of an arrow. It
may be accompanied by a
recommended gear.
System which reduces fuel
consumption by recommending the
most appropriate gear.

-

optimum fuel consumption.
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

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

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 mode
The "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 STOP 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.
