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.

When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a few
s econds when the vehicle's ignition is switched

For more information on Vehicle
configuration
, refer to the corresponding
section.Associated warnings
Certain warning lamps may come on in one of
two modes: fixed (continuous) or flashing.
Only by relating the type of lighting to the
operating status of the vehicle can it be
ascertained whether the situation is normal or
whether a
fault has occurred.
In the event of a
fault, the illumination of the
warning lamp may be accompanied by an
audible signal and/or a
message.
Visual indicators informing the driver
that a
system is in operation (operation
or deactivation indicator lamps) or of the
occurrence of a fault (warning lamps).

Warning lamps
When the engine is running or the vehicle is
being driven, illumination of one of the following
warning lamps indicates a fault which requires
action on the part of the driver.
Any fault resulting in the illumination of
a
warning lamp must be investigated further
using the associated message.
If you encounter any problems, contact
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Operation indicator lamps
The lighting of one of the following indicator
lamps confirms that the corresponding system
is on.
Deactivation indicator lamp
If this indicator lamp comes on, this confirms
that the corresponding system has been
switched off intentionally.
This may be accompanied by an audible signal
and a message being displayed.

In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic
conditions, the needle may move close to the
red graduations. If the needle remains in the red zone,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Check the coolant level regularly.

2. Adjusting the temperature.
3. Adjusting the air flow.
4. Adjusting the air distribution.
5. Air intake/Air recirculation.
Air conditioning
The air conditioning only works with the engine
running.
The fan must be set to at least 1.
Pressing the button switches the air
conditioning on; the LED is lit.
Pressing the button again switches the function
off; the LED goes out.
Temperature
F Turn the dial to select a position between blue
(cold) and red (hot) so as to
adjust the temperature to your
requirements.
Air flow
F Turn the control to your chosen position to obtain sufficient air
flow for your comfort.
If you place the air flow control at
position 0 (off), the thermal comfort is no
longer controlled. However, a slight flow of
air can still be felt due to the movement of
the vehicle.
Air distribution
The air supply distribution is directed by the
control turned towards: the footwells,
the windscreen, footwells and side
windows,
the windscreen and side windows.
Air intake/Air recirculation
The intake of exterior air prevents the formation
of mist on the windscreen and side windows.
Recirculation of the interior air isolates the
passenger compartment from exterior odours
and fumes.
Used with the air conditioning switched on
and the fan setting (from 1
to 4), recirculation
enables you to obtain the required ambient air
comfort level with both hot or cold settings.
Return to exterior air intake as soon as possible
to avoid deterioration of the air quality and the
formation of mist.
