As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your
m ultimedia devices (film, music, video game,
etc.), 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.
Optimise the use of your
gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently
an d 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.
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.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
u se 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
.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of
the system at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h)
when the traffic is flowing well.
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.
Consider using equipment that can help
keep the temperature in the passenger
compartment down (sunroof blind and window
blinds, etc.). 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. Unless it has automatic regulation, switch off
the air conditioning as soon as the desired
temperature has been reached.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting
controls, if these are not automatically
managed.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as
possible.

Lighting controls
Selection and control of the various front and
rear lamps providing the vehicle's lighting.In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is
normal; it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a
few minutes.
Travelling abroad
If using your vehicle in a
country that
drives on the other side of the road, the
headlamps must be adjusted to avoid
dazzling oncoming drivers.
Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

The foglamps may only be used in fog or
when snow is falling.
In clear weather or in rain, both day and
night, rear foglamps dazzle and their use
is prohibited.
Do not forget to switch them off when they
are no longer necessary.
LED daytime running
lamps
On starting the vehicle, in daylight the LED
daytime running lamps come on automatically.
If the sidelamps, dipped or main beam
headlamps are switched on manually or
automatically, the daytime running lamps
"go out.
Programming
For countries where exterior lighting by day is
not a legal requirement, you can activate or
deactivate the function via the configuration
menu.
Automatic illumination of
headlamps
If your vehicle is fitted with this function, the
dipped beam headlamps are switched on
automatically if the light is poor.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor may
detect sufficient light. In this case, the
lighting will not come on automatically. If
necessary, you must switch on the dipped
beam headlamps manually.
They are switched off when the light
returns to a
sufficient level.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor at the
top centre of the windscreen.
Activation
F Turn the ring to this position.
The lamps are switched off automatically when
the ignition is switched off.
Guide-me-home lighting
If your vehicle is fitted with this function: when
you leave your vehicle, the dipped beam
headlamps remain on for the selected duration
(when leaving a car park for example).

If the ambient light level is very low and the
traffic conditions permit:
If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
Flashing the headlamps again pauses the
function and the system changes to "automatic
illumination of headlamps" mode.
The function is disabled automatically below
9
mph (15 km/h).
If main beam is nevertheless necessary, flash
the headlamps again; main beam will then
remain on until the vehicle reaches a
speed of
25
mph (40 km/h).
Above 25
mph (40 km/h), the function is
reactivated automatically (provided that the
headlamps have not been flashed again in the
meantime, to change to dipped beam).
Deactivation
F Turn the lighting control stalk ring to the " Dipped beam "
position. The system may suffer inter ference or not
work correctly:
-
u
nder conditions of poor visibility
(falling snow, heavy rain or thick fog,
e t c .),
-
i
f the windscreen in front of the
camera is dirty, misted or obscured (by
a sticker, etc.),
-
i
f the vehicle is facing highly reflective
signs.
The system is not able to detect:
-
r
oad users that do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians,
-
v
ehicles whose lighting is obscured,
such as when driving behind a safety
barrier on a motor way, for example,
-
v
ehicles at the top or bottom of
a steep slope, on winding roads, on
crossroads.
Parking lamps
This system enables you to leave the lamps on
when parked; with the ignition off, key in the
STOP position or key removed.
This indicator lamp comes on in
the instrument panel.
The lamps will remain on while you
are parked.
Leaving the lighting on for long periods
may significantly reduce the state of
