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.

automatically.
Deactivate this control by keeping the stalk
pulled towards the steering wheel for more than
2
seconds.
Automatic headlamps
System which automatically changes to main
beam according to the ambient light level and
the driving conditions, using a camera located
at the top of the windscreen.
This system is a
driving aid.
The driver remains responsible for the
vehicle's lighting, its correct use for the
prevailing conditions of light, visibility
and traffic, and obser vation of driving
regulations.

Operation
Once activated, the system operates as
follows:
If the ambient light level is sufficient and/or if
the traffic conditions do not allow illumination of
the main beam headlamps:
-

ipped beam is maintained; this
indicator lamp lights up in the

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
charge of your vehicle's battery.

Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to
react at any time to any eventuality.
As a safety measure, the driver should only
carry out any operations that require close
attention when the vehicle is stationary.
On a
long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance
from other vehicles.
Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion engines
emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon
monoxide. There is a
risk of poisoning and
death!
In very severe wintry conditions
(temperatures below -23°C), to guarantee
correct operation and the longevity of
the mechanical elements of your vehicle,
engine and gearbox, the engine must be
left running for 4
minutes before driving.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.
Important!
If you are obliged to drive through water:
- c heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15
cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users,
-
d
eactivate the Stop & Start system,
-
d
rive as slowly as possible without stalling.
Under no circumstances exceed 6
mph
(10
km/h),
-
d
o not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads. If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Never drive with the parking brake
applied – risk of overheating and damage
to the braking system!
Do not park and do not run the engine
with the vehicle stationary, in areas where
substances and combustible materials
(dry grass, leaves, etc.) can come into
contact with the hot exhaust system – risk
of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsuper vised with
the engine running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running, apply
the parking brake and put the gearbox into
neutral or position N or P , depending on
the type of gearbox.
To assure the durability of your vehicle and
your safety, remember that certain precautions,
described hereafter, should be taken when
driving your vehicle:
