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.

Trip computer
Range
(miles or km)
The distance which can still be
travelled with the fuel remaining in
the tank (related to the average fuel
consumption over the last few miles
(kilometres) travelled).
This value may vary following a change
in the style of driving or the relief,
resulting in a significant change in the
current fuel consumption.
When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km),
dashes are displayed. After filling with at least
5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is
displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km). If dashes are displayed continuously
while driving in place of the digits,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. This function is only displayed from
20
mph (30 km/h).
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated over the last few seconds.
Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated since the last trip reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
Calculated since the last trip reset.
Distance travelled
(miles or km)
Calculated since the last trip reset.
Stop & Star t time counter
(minutes / seconds or hours /
minutes)
A time counter calculates the time spent in
STOP mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on.

Invalid value in manual operationThis symbol is displayed if a gear is
not engaged correctly (gear selector
between two positions).
You can temporarily take control of gear
changes using the

"
+ " and " -" steering mounted
control paddles. If the engine speed allows, the
instruction to change gear is acted on.
This function allows you to anticipate certain
situations such as overtaking another vehicle or
approaching a bend.
After a few moments with no action on the
control paddles, the gearbox manages the
gears automatically again.
Temporary manual control of the
gears
Manual mode
D and the gear engaged are displayed in the
instrument panel.
The gearbox operates in auto-active
mode, without any action from the driver. It
continuously selects the most appropriate gear
according to the following conditions:

Automated mode
F Select position D .
For maximum acceleration, without touching
the gear selector, press the accelerator fully
down (kick down). The gearbox changes down
automatically and maintains the gear selected
until the maximum engine speed is reached.
When braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically for more effective engine braking.
When you take your foot off the accelerator
pedal suddenly, the gearbox does not change
up, so as to improve safety. F

The gears engaged are displayed successively
in the instrument panel.
When stationary or at very low speed, the
gearbox automatically engages 1st g e a r.
In manual mode, it is not necessary to release
the accelerator pedal when changing gear.
The change from one gear to another is only
effected if the conditions of vehicle speed and
engine speed allow; other wise the automatic
laws of operation are imposed temporarily.
If the engine speed is too high or too low,
the display of the gear selected flashes for a
few seconds, then the new gear engaged is
displayed.
It is possible to change mode at any
time, by moving the gear selector
from
D to M or the other way round.

Dynamic cruise control
System that allows, in addition to maintaining your vehicle's speed at a value that you have defined, the inter-vehicle time you have selected between
your vehicle and the one in front to be maintained.
Principles of operation
Using a radar with a range of about 100 metres,
located at the front of the vehicle, this system
detects a vehicle running in front of your
vehicle.
It automatically adapts the speed of the vehicle
to that of the vehicle in front.
If the vehicle in front is running more slowly,
the system progressively reduces the speed of
your vehicle using just engine braking (as if the
driver had pressed the "-" button).
If your vehicle is too close to or approaching
the vehicle in front too quickly, the dynamic
cruise control is automatically deactivated.
The driver is then alerted by an audible signal,
accompanied by a message.
Choice of the type of cruise control
The choice between the "dynamic" and
"standard" cruise control is done in the Driving
menu.
F

I
n the Driving menu, select the " Driving
function " tab, then " Cruise control
active " to activate or deactivate the
dynamic cruise control.
For more information on the Cruise
control , refer to the corresponding
section. F

P
lace the cruise control
thumbwheel at "CRUISE". If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes
lane, the dynamic cruise control progressively
accelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed speed.
If the driver operates a direction indicator to
the left (left-hand drive) or the right (right-
hand drive), to overtake a slower vehicle, the
dynamic cruise control allows your vehicle to
temporarily approach the vehicle in front to
assist the overtaking manoeuvre, though never
exceeding the programmed speed.

Comments
No vehicle detected:
the system operates as a standard cruise control.
Detection of a vehicle, at the limit of the range of the radar:
the system operates as a standard cruise control.
"SPEED ADJUSTED" Detection of a vehicle that is too close or running at a speed lower than your
vehicle's cruise speed setting.
The system uses engine braking to slow your vehicle and then hold it at the speed of
the vehicle in front so as to maintain the programmed inter-vehicle time.
The regulation range is limited to a maximum difference of 20 mph (30 km/h)
between the speed setting and the speed of the vehicle ahead.
"SPEED ADJUSTED" When the adjusted speed reaches the control limit (speed setting - 20 mph
(30
km/h)), the adjusted speed flashes together with the speed setting, to signal that
automatic deactivation of the system is imminent.
"Cruise control
paused" If the system exceeds the limit of speed adjustment possible by the system and
in the absence of any reaction by the driver (operation of the direction indicator,
change of lane, reduction of the speed of the vehicle), the system is automatically
paused.
The display of the deactivation message is accompanied by an audible signal.
