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.

Access
 
 
 
The system checks for any variation in volume in 
the passenger compartment.
The alarm is triggered if anyone breaks a 
window, enters the passenger compartment or 
moves inside the vehicle.
(with partition)
The system only checks for a variation in volume 
inside the  cab.
The alarm is triggered if anyone breaks a 
window or enters the vehicle’s cab.
It will not be triggered if someone enters the 
loading area.
If your vehicle is fitted with an Additional 
heating/ventilation system, interior 
volumetric monitoring is not compatible with it.
For more information on the  Additional 
heating/ventilation system, refer to the 
corresponding section.
Anti-tilt 
The system checks for any change in the attitude 
of the vehicle.
The alarm is triggered if the vehicle is lifted or 
moved.
When the vehicle is parked, the alarm 
will not be triggered if the vehicle is 
knocked.
Locking the vehicle with full 
alarm system
Activation
► Switch off the ignition and exit the vehicle.
►  Lock the vehicle using the remote control or 
with the "Keyless Entry and Start" system.
The monitoring system is active: the red indicator 
lamp in the button flashes every second and 
the direction indicators come on for about 2 
seconds.
Following an instruction to lock the 
vehicle, the exterior perimeter monitoring 
is activated after 5 seconds and the interior 
volumetric and anti-tilt monitoring after 45 
seconds.
If a door, the tailgate or the bonnet is not 
closed properly, the vehicle is not locked 
but the exterior perimeter monitoring will be 
activated after 45 seconds at the same time 
as the interior volumetric and anti-tilt 
monitoring.
Deactivation
► Press the remote control unlocking button.
or
►  Unlock the vehicle with the "Keyless Entry 
and Start" system.
The monitoring system is deactivated: the 
indicator lamp in the button goes off and the 
direction indicators flash for about 2 seconds.
If the vehicle automatically locks itself 
again (as happens if a door or the boot is 
not opened within 30 seconds of unlocking), 
the monitoring system is also reactivated 
automatically.
Locking the vehicle 
with exterior perimeter 
monitoring only
Deactivate the interior volumetric and anti-tilt 
monitoring to avoid the unwanted triggering of 
the
  alarm,   in certain cases such as:
–
 
Slightly open window or sunroof. 
–
 
W
 ashing the vehicle.
–
 
Changing a wheel.
–
 
T
 owing the vehicle.
–
 
T
 ransport on a ship or ferry.
Deactivating the interior volumetric 
and anti-tilt monitoring
► Switch off the ignition and within 10 seconds 
press the alarm button until its red indicator lamp 
is on fixed.
►
 
Get out of the vehicle.

12Voice commands
Steering wheel-mounted 
controls 
Voice commands:
Voice commands can be issued from any 
screen page after a short press on the "Voice 
commands" button located on the steering 
wheel or at the end of the lighting control stalk 
(depending on equipment), as long as there is no 
telephone call in progress.
To ensure that voice commands are  always recognised by the system, please 
follow these recommendations: 
–
 
use natural language in a normal tone 
without breaking up words or raising your 
voice.
–
 
always wait for the "beep" (audible signal) 
before speaking.
–
 
for best results, closing the windows and 
sunroof is recommended, to avoid extraneous 
interference (depending on version).
–
 
before issuing a voice command, ask any 
other passengers to refrain from speaking.
First steps
Example of a "voice command" for 
navigation:
"Navigate to address 11 regent street, 
London"
Example of a "voice command" for the radio and 
media:
"Play artist Madonna"
Example of a "voice command" for the 
telephone:
"Call David Miller"
The voice commands, with a choice of 17  languages (Arabic, Brazilian, Czech, 
Danish, Dutch, English, Farsi, French, 
German, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, 
Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, 
Turkish), are made using the language 
previously chosen and set in the system.
For some voice commands, there are 
alternative synonyms.
Example: Guide to / Navigate to / Go to / ...
The voice commands in Arabic for: "Navigate 
to address" and "Display POI in the city", are 
not available.
Information - Using the 
system
When voice commands are activated, by 
briefly pressing the button, help is 
displayed on the touch screen, offering various 
menus and enabling voice-based interaction with 
the system.
 
 
A number of commands are available when a 
menu is selected.
 
 
Press the Push To Talk button and tell me 
what you'd like after the tone. Remember 
you can interrupt me at any time by pressing this 
button. If you press it again while I'm waiting for 
you to speak, it'll end the conversation. If you 
need to start over, say "cancel". If you want to 
undo something, say "undo". And to get 
information and tips at any time, just say "help". 
If you ask to me do something and there's some 
information missing that I need, I'll give you 
some examples or take you through it step by
