Eco-driving
Eco-driving
Eco-driving refers to a range of everyday 
practices that allow the motorist to optimise 
the vehicle's energy consumption (fuel and/or 
electricity) and CO
2 emissions.
Optimise your use of the gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and 
change up promptly. While accelerating, change 
up early.
With an automatic gearbox, favour automatic 
mode. Do not depress the accelerator pedal 
heavily or suddenly.
The gear shift indicator prompts you to engage 
the most suitable gear. Whenever this indication 
is displayed on the instrument panel, follow it 
straight away.
With an 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 gradually. These practices 
help to save on energy consumption, reduce 
CO
2 emissions and decrease general traffic 
noise.
Favour the use of the "Eco" driving mode.
With an EAT8 gearbox, with the gear selector 
in mode D, favour "free-wheeling" by gradually 
lifting your foot fully off the accelerator pedal in 
order to save fuel. When the traffic is flowing smoothly, select the 
cruise control.
Control the use of 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.
At speeds 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 (e.g.
  sunroof blind, window blinds).
Unless automatically regulated, switch off the air 
conditioning as soon as the desired temperature 
has been reached.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting functions, 
if they are not managed automatically.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.
Adapt your use of the headlamps and/or 
foglamps to the level of visibility, in accordance 
with current legislation in the country in which 
you are driving.
Avoid running the engine before moving off, 
particularly in winter (other than in severe wintry 
conditions: temperature below -23°C). The 
vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.
As a passenger, avoid connecting your 
multimedia devices (e.g.
  film, music, video 
game) to help reduce the consumption of energy.
Disconnect all portable devices before leaving 
the vehicle.
Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle. Place the 
heaviest items in the boot as close as possible to 
the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and 
minimise wind resistance (e.g.
  roof bars, roof 
rack, bicycle carrier, trailer). Preferably, use a 
roof box.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit 
summer tyres.
Comply with the servicing instructions
Check tyre pressures regularly, with the tyres 
cold, referring to the label in the door aperture on 
the 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.
Do not forget the spare wheel and, where 
applicable, the tyres on your trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (e.g.
  engine 
oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment 
filter, etc.). Observe the schedule of operations in 
the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system 
has a fault, your vehicle will emit pollution. Visit 
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop 
as soon as possible to restore your vehicle's 
nitrogen oxide emissions to legal levels.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue after 
the third cut-out of the nozzle, to avoid overflow.

AdBlue® range indicators (BlueHDi)
The Diesel BlueHDi engines are equipped with 
a system that associates the SCR (Selective 
Catalytic Reduction) emissions control system 
and the Diesel particle filter (DPF) for the 
treatment of exhaust gases. They cannot 
function  without AdBlue
® fluid.
When the level of AdBlue® falls below the 
reserve level (between 1,500 and 0 miles (2,400 
and 0
 
km)), a warning lamp lights up when 
the ignition is switched on and an estimate 
of the distance that can be travelled before 
engine starting is prevented is displayed in the 
instrument panel.
The engine starting prevention system  required by regulations is activated 
automatically once the AdBlue
® tank is empty. 
It is then no longer possible to start the 
engine until the minimum level of AdBlue
® has 
been topped up.

Safety
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) / Dynamic stability control 
(DSC)
Anti-slip regulation (or traction control) optimises 
traction by using engine braking and by applying 
the brakes on the driving wheels to avoid one 
or more wheels spinning. It also enhances the 
vehicle's directional stability.
If there is a difference between the vehicle’s 
trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the 
dynamic stability control system automatically 
uses engine braking and the brakes on one or 
more wheels to return the vehicle to the desired 
path, within the limits of the laws of physics.
These systems are activated automatically every 
time the vehicle is started.
These systems are activated in the event of a problem with grip or trajectory 
(confirmed by this warning lamp flashing on the 
instrument panel).
Deactivation / Reactivation 
 
In exceptional conditions (moving a vehicle that 
is bogged down in mud, stuck in snow, on loose 
soil, etc.), it may prove useful to deactivate the  DSC/ASR systems, so that the wheels can move 
freely and regain grip.
However, it is recommended that the system be 
reactivated as soon as possible.
These systems are reactivated automatically 
every time the ignition is switched off, or from 31 
mph (50
  km/h).
At speeds below 31 mph (50   km/h), the systems 
can be reactivated manually.
Press this button or turn the thumbwheel 
to this position.
The indicator lamp in the button or thumbwheel 
comes on: the DSC/ASR systems no longer 
have an effect on engine operation.
To reactivate the system:
Press this button.  
Or
Turn the thumbwheel to this position. 
The indicator lamp in the button or thumbwheel 
goes off.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning 
lamp lights up on the instrument panel, 
accompanied by the display of a message and 
an audible signal.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
ASR/DSC
These systems enhance safety during 
normal driving, but should not encourage 
the driver to take extra risks or drive at high 
speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain, snow, 
ice) that the risk of loss of grip increases. It 
is therefore important for your safety to keep 
these systems activated in all conditions, and 
particularly in difficult conditions.
Correct operation of these systems depends 
on compliance with the manufacturer's 
recommendations relating to the wheels 
(tyres and rims), braking and electronic 
components, as well as the assembly and 
repair procedures provided by CITROËN 
dealers.
In order to ensure that these systems remain 
effective in wintry conditions, the use of snow 
or all-season tyres is recommended. All four 
wheels must be fitted with tyres approved for 
your vehicle.
All tyre specifications are listed on the 
tyre/paint label. For more information 
on Identification markings , refer to the 
corresponding section.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the 
vehicle or trailer snaking.

Practical information
Compatibility of fuels  
Petrol fuels conforming to the EN228 standard 
containing up to 5% and 10% ethanol 
respectively.
  
Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590, EN16734 
and EN16709 standards and containing up to 
7%, 10%, 20% and 30% fatty acid methyl ester 
respectively. The use of B20 or B30 fuels, even 
occasionally, imposes special maintenance 
conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".
  
Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the EN15940 
standard.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel (e.g.   pure or diluted vegetable or animal 
oils, domestic fuel) is strictly prohibited - risk 
of damaging the engine and fuel system!
The only fuel additives authorised for use  are those that meet the B715001 (petrol) 
or B715000 (Diesel) standards.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the 
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel  fuels could prevent the engine from operating 
correctly
. In these temperature conditions, use 
winter-type Diesel fuel and keep the fuel tank 
more than 50   % full.
At temperatures below -15   °C (+5   °F) to avoid 
problems starting, it is best to park the vehicle 
under shelter (heated garage).
Travelling abroad
Certain fuels could damage your vehicle’s 
engine.
In certain countries, the use of a particular 
fuel may be required (specific octane rating, 
specific trade name, etc.) to ensure correct 
operation of the engine.
For all additional information, consult a dealer.
Refuelling
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 61 litres 
(Petrol) or 50 litres (Diesel).
Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.
Low fuel level
/2 
1 1When the low fuel level is reached, 
this warning lamp lights up on the 
instrument panel, accompanied by the display of 
a message and an audible signal. When it first 
comes on, about 6 litres of fuel remain.
Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp 
appears every time the ignition is switched on, 
accompanied by the message and the audible 
signal. When driving, this message and audible 
signal are repeated with increasing frequency as 
the fuel level drops towards  0.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid 
running out of fuel.
For more information on  Running out of fuel 
(Diesel), refer to the corresponding section.
A small arrow by the warning lamp  indicates which side of the vehicle the 
fuel filler flap is located on.
Stop & Start
Never refuel with the engine in STOP 
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Refuelling
At least 10 litres of fuel must be added, in order 
to be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may create a noise caused 
by an inrush of air. This is entirely normal and 
results from the sealing of the fuel system.
To refuel in complete safety:
►
 
Always switch off the engine.
►
 
Unlock the vehicle using the Keyless Entry 
and Start.
►
 
Open the fuel filler flap.

accordance with the manufacturer's service 
schedule. Top them up if required, unless 
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the 
corresponding system checked by a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The fluids must comply with the  manufacturer's requirements and with 
the vehicle's engine.
Take care when working under the  bonnet, as certain areas of the engine 
may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the 
cooling fan could start at any time (even with 
the ignition off).
