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.
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 (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 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...), you will contribute towards limiting the 
consumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before leaving the vehicle.
Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
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 reduce the background traffic noise.
I
f your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds 
above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well. 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.

Low fuel levelfixed, accompanied by 
an audible signal and 
a message. When it first comes on there remains 
approximately 6 litres of fuel
 in the 
tank.
You are then using the fuel reserve. You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid running 
out of fuel.
Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp will 
come on every time the ignition is switched on, 
accompanied by an audible signal and a message.
This audible signal and message are repeated with 
increasing frequency as the fuel level drops towards "0".
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 57 litres (petrol) or 
55 litres (Diesel).
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel as 
this could damage the emission control and injection 
systems.

Motorised tailgate
General points
Never place a finger in the locking 
mechanism of the motorised tailgate - 
Risk of serious injury!
Anti-pinch
The motorised tailgate includes a system 
for detecting obstacles, which automatically 
interrupts and reverses the movement by a few 
degrees, to allow the obstacle to be cleared.
Note that this anti-pinch system does not 
operate at the end of the closing movement 
(around 1 cm before complete closure).
The motorised operation of the tailgate can 
be activated or deactivated by selecting 
"
Motorized tailgate " in the Driving menu of 
the touch screen.
Bicycle carrier / Towbar
The tailgate is not designed to be fitted with a 
bicycle carrier.
If a bicycle carrier is fitted to a towbar with a 
wiring harness connected to a towbar socket, 
the motorised operation of the tailgate is 
automatically deactivated.
If using a towbar or bicycle carrier not approved 
by CITROËN, it is essential to deactivate the 
motorised operation of the tailgate.
Tailgate operation commands must be made 
with the vehicle stationary.
Ensure that there is enough free space to allow 
the motorised tailgate to open. To avoid the risk of injury through 
pinching or trapping, before and during 
operation of the tailgate:
-
 
e
nsure that there is no person close 
to the rear of the vehicle,
-
 w
atch the behaviour of rear 
passengers, particularly children.
