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.

1.Left-hand front
2. Right-hand front
3. Right-hand rear (depending on version)
4. Left-hand rear (depending on version)
5. Deactivation of electric window controls 
located by rear seats (depending on version)
Manual operation
► To open/close the window, press/pull the 
switch without passing the point of resistance; 
the window stops as soon as the switch is 
released.
Automatic operation
(Depending on version)
►
 T o open/close the window, press/pull the 
switch past its resistance point: the window 
opens/closes completely when the switch is 
released.
Operating the switch again stops the movement 
of the window.
Window controls remain operational for 
approximately 45 seconds after switching 
off the ignition or after locking the vehicle.
After that time, the controls are disabled. 
To reactivate them, switch on the ignition or 
unlock the vehicle.
Anti-pinch
(Depending on version)
If the window meets an obstacle while rising, it 
stops and immediately partially lowers again.
Deactivating the rear 
controls for the rear electric 
windows
(Type 2) 
 
For your children's safety, press control 5 to 
deactivate the controls for the rear electric 
windows, irrespective of their positions.
The red indicator lamp in the button comes 
on and a confirmation message is displayed. 
The lamp will remain lit until the controls are 
reactivated.
The rear electric windows can still be controlled 
using the driver's controls.
Reinitialising the electric 
windows
After reconnecting the battery, or in the event 
of abnormal window movement, the anti-pinch 
function must be reinitialised.
The anti-pinch function is disabled during the 
following sequence of operations.
For each window:
►
 
Lower the window fully
 , then raise it; it will 
rise in steps of a few centimetres each time the 
control is pressed. Repeat the operation until the 
window is fully closed.
►
 
Continue to pull the control for at least one 
second after the window reaches the closed 
position.
If an electric window meets an obstacle 
during operation, the movement of the 
window must be reversed. To do this, press 
the relevant control.
When the driver operates the passengers’ 
electric window controls, it is important to 
ensure that nothing can prevent the window 
from closing properly.
It is important to ensure that passengers use 
the electric windows correctly.
Pay particular attention to children when 
operating the windows.

Ease of use and comfort
General 
recommendations for the 
seats
For safety reasons, seat adjustments 
must only be made when the vehicle is 
stationary.
Folding or unfolding the seat backrests 
must only be done with the vehicle 
stationary.
Before moving the seat backwards, 
ensure that there is no person or object 
that might prevent the full travel of the seat.
There is a risk of trapping or pinching 
passengers if present in the rear seats or of 
jamming the seat if large objects are placed 
on the floor behind the seat.
Do not place hard or heavy objects on 
the backrests forming a table. They could 
become dangerous projectiles in the event of 
sudden braking or a collision.
–
 
Do not remove a head restraint without 
stowing it; secure it to a support inside the 
vehicle.
–
 
Check that the seat belts remain accessible 
to the passenger and easy to fasten.
–
 
Passengers must never take their seat 
without adjusting and fastening their seat belt.
– In row 3, be careful not to leave your feet 
under the row 2 seat while it is being tilted.
–
 
When a row 3 seat is in the fully folded 
position, ensure that the strap is correctly 
hooked to the 
Top Tether fixing of the row 2 
backrest: risk of unexpected tipping of the 
seat.
Before carrying out the manoeuvres, 
check that nothing and no one is 
obstructing the moving elements and their 
locking.
To avoid sudden folding, take care to hold the 
backrest and support it until it is horizontal.
Never  put your hand underneath the seat 
cushion to guide the seat downwards or 
upwards, you could get your fingers trapped. 
Place your hand on the grip/strap (depending 
on equipment) at the top of the seat cushion.
Please note: an incorrectly latched 
backrest compromises the safety of 
passengers in the event of sudden braking or 
an impact.
The contents of the boot may be thrown 
forward - risk of severe injury!
Front seats
Correct driving position
Before taking to the road and to make the most 
of the ergonomic layout of the instruments and 
controls, carry out these adjustments in the 
following order:
–
 
head restraint height.
–
 
seat backrest angle.
–
 
seat cushion height.
–
 
longitudinal seat position.
–
 
steering wheel height and reach.
–
 
rear view mirror and door mirrors. 
 
Once these adjustments have been 
made, check that the instrument panel 
can be viewed correctly from your driving 
position.

Ease of use and comfort
3switch the function off; reducing electrical 
consumption in turn decreases energy 
consumption.
Prolonged use of heated seats is not 
recommended for people with sensitive 
skin.
There is a risk of burns for people whose 
perception of heat is impaired (e.g.
  illness, 
taking medication).
To keep the heated pad intact and to prevent 
a short circuit:
–
 
Do not place heavy or sharp objects on the 
seat.
–
 
Do not kneel or stand on the seat.
–
 
Do not spill liquids onto the seat.
–
 
Never use the heating function if the seat 
is damp.
Steering wheel 
adjustment
 
 
► When stationary , pull the control lever to 
release the steering wheel.
►
 
Adjust the height and reach.
►
 
Lower the control lever to lock the steering 
wheel.
As a safety precaution, these operations  must only be carried out while the vehicle 
is stationary.
Mirrors
Door mirrors
Adjustment 
 
► Move control  A or turn control C (depending 
on the version you have) to the right or to the left 
to select the corresponding mirror.
►
 
Move control 
 B or C (depending on the 
version you have) in any of the four directions to 
adjust.
►
 
Return control  A 
or C (depending on the 
version you have) to its centre position.
As a safety measure, the mirrors should  be adjusted to reduce the blind spots.
The objects observed are, in reality, closer 
than they appear.
Take this into account when assessing the 
distance of vehicles approaching from behind.   

55
Ease of use and comfort
3A child-monitoring mirror is installed above 
the interior rear view mirror. It allows the 
vehicle's rear passengers to be observed and 
facilitates discussion between the front and rear 
passengers without changing the mirror setting 
and without turning around. It can be folded 
easily to avoid dazzle.
2-seat front bench seat 
 
Central seat
Table position 
 
► To lower the backrest, pull the tab on the 
lower edge of the seat.
 
 
The backrest of the central seat of the bench 
seat tilts to form a work table, creating a mobile 
office (for use while stationary).
 
 
The vehicle may also be fitted with a pivoting 
table.
► 
T
 o return the backrest to the sitting position, 
stow the table, then guide it until it locks.
Take care not to jam the tab under the seat 
cushion while moving the backrest.
 
 
Never use the table while the vehicle is 
being driven.
In the event of sudden braking or impact, any 
objects on the table might become dangerous 
projectiles that could cause injury.
Storage compartment under seats 
 
► Lift the central seat to access the storage 
compartment.  This space can be secured by 
fitting a padlock (not supplied).
Each time you lock the seat in the sitting 
position, make sure that passengers 
have access to the seat belt end pieces and 
the associated straps.
