Eco- driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices
t hat allow the motorist to optimise their fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions.
Optimise the use of your
gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently
a nd change up without waiting. When
accelerating, 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 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 automatic gearbox,
this indicator appears only in manual mode.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
u se 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 reduce the
b
ackground traffic noise.
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 31
mph (50 km/h), close the windows
and leave the air vents open.
Consider using equipment that can help
keep the temperature in the passenger
compartment down (sunroof blind and window
blinds, etc.).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has
automatic regulation, as soon as the desired
temperature is attained. Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps
when the ambient light level 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
etc.), you will contribute towards limiting the
consumption of electrical energy, and so of
fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before
leaving the vehicle.
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.
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. Switch off the demisting and defrosting
controls when not required, if they are not
automatically controlled.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as
possible.

In good or rainy weather, by both day
and night, the front foglamps and the
rear foglamps are 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.
Switch off the front and rear foglamps
when they are no longer necessary.
Switching off of the lighting when the
ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of the
lighting turns off immediately, except for
dipped beam headlamps if automatic
guide-me-home lighting is activated.Switching on the lighting after the
ignition is switched off
To reactivate the lighting control stalk,
rotate ring A to the 0
position – lamps off,
then to the desired position.
On opening the driver's door a
temporary
audible signal warns the driver that the
lighting is on.
It will go off automatically after a
period of
time that depends on the state of charge
in battery (entering energy economy

Automatic illumination of
headlamps
To switch off the parking lamps, return the
lighting control stalk to the central position.
When the ring is at the "AUTO" position and
a
low level of ambient light is detected by the
sunshine sensor, the number plate lamps,
sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are
switched on automatically, without any action
on the part of the driver. They can also come
on if rain is detected, at the same time as
automatic operation 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.Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the
s unshine sensor, the lighting comes
on, this warning lamp is displayed in
the instrument panel accompanied
by an audible signal and/or
a


message.
Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor may
detect sufficient light. In this case, the
lighting will not come on automatically.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor,
integrated with the rain sensor and located
at the top of the windscreen behind the
rear view mirror; the associated functions
would no longer be controlled.
Front daytime running
lamps (LEDs)
The temporary illumination of the dipped beam
headlamps after the vehicle's ignition has been
switched off makes the driver's exit easier

heavy rain, etc.),
-

i
f the windscreen is dirty, misted or
obscured (by a
sticker, etc.) in front of
the camera,
-

i
f the vehicle is facing highly reflective
signs.
When the system detects thick fog, it
temporarily deactivates the function.
The system is not able to detect:
-

oad users that do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians,
-

v
ehicles whose lighting is obscured
(for example: vehicles running behind
a
safety barrier on a motor way),
-

v
ehicles at the top or bottom of
a
steep slope, on winding roads, on
crossroads. Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the camera.
The internal sur face of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
conceal the detection camera.
Clean the front bumper, especially around
the radar, removing mud, snow, etc.
Headlamp adjustment
To avoid causing a nuisance to other road
u sers, the headlamp beams should be adjusted
for height according to the vehicle's load.

Cornering lighting
If your vehicle is equipped with it, this system
makes use of the beam from a
front foglamp
to illuminate the inside of a
bend, when the
main or dipped beam headlamps are on and
the vehicle speed is below 25
mph (40 km/h)
(urban driving, winding road, junctions, parking
manoeuvres, etc.).
Lighting and visibility

The speed limit units (mph or km/h)
depend on the country you are driving in.
This should be taken into account in order
to obser ve the speed limit.
For the system to operate correctly when
you change country, the units for speed in
the instrument panel must be those for the
country you are driving in.
The automatic reading of road signs is
a driving assistance system and does not
always display speed limits correctly.
The speed limit signs present on the road
always take priority over the display by the
system.
The system cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
The driver must observe the driving
regulations and must adapt the speed of
the vehicle to suit the weather and traffic.
The system may not display the speed
limit if it does not detect a
speed limit sign
within a
preset period.
The system is designed to detect signs
that conform to the Vienna Convention on
road signs. To maintain correct operation of the
system: regularly clean the area in front of
the camera.
The internal sur face of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Activation/Deactivation
Activation and deactivation of the system is
done in the touch screen's Driving
menu.
Select the " Vehicle settings " tab, then
" Security "/ "Safety " and "Recommended
speed display ".
Displays in the instrument panel
1.Detected speed limit indication.
or
2. Indication of the end of the speed limit. The system is active but is not detecting speed
limit information.
On detection of speed limit information, the
system displays the value.
