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.

Eco-driving
You will only see the fuel consumption of your 
new vehicle settle down to a consistent average 
after the first 1,900 miles (3,000 kilometres).
Optimising the driving range (Electric)
The vehicle's consumption of electrical energy 
greatly depends on the route, speed and driving 
style, as well as the use of the heating/air 
conditioning.
Try to remain in the "ECO" zone on the power 
indicator, by driving smoothly and maintaining a 
steady speed.
Anticipate the need to slow down, and brake 
smoothly, whenever possible using engine 
braking with the regenerative braking function, 
which will move the power indicator into the 
"CHARGE" zone.
Use the air conditioning rather than the heating 
to demist the passenger compartment.

Indicators
Service indicator
The servicing information is expressed in terms 
of distance (miles or kilometres) and time 
(months or days).
The alert is given at whichever of these two 
terms is reached first.
The servicing information is displayed in the 
instrument panel. Depending on the version of 
the vehicle:
–
 
The distance recorder display line indicates 
the distance remaining before the next service 
is due, or the distance travelled since it was due 
preceded by the "-" sign.
–
 
An alert message indicates the distance 
remaining, as well as the period before the next 
service is due or how long it is overdue.
The value indicated is calculated  according to the distance covered and 
the time elapsed since the last service.
The alert may also be triggered close to a 
due date.
Service spannerOn temporarily when the ignition is 
switched on.
Between 620 and 1,860 miles (1,000 and 3,000 
km) remain before the next service is due.
Fixed, when the ignition is switched on.
The next service is due in less than 620 
miles (1,000 km).
