As a passenger, avoid connecting your
multimedia devices (film, music, video game,
etc.) to contribute towards reducing the
consumption of electrical energy, and so of
fuel.
Disconnect all portable devices before leaving
the vehicle.
Eco- driving
Optimise the use of your
gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and
change up without waiting. While accelerating,
change up early.
With an electronic gearbox, favour automatic
mode, without pressing the accelerator pedal
heavily or suddenly.
With an automatic gearbox, favour automatic
mode, without pressing the accelerator pedal
heavily or suddenly.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
use engine braking rather than the brake
pedal and press the accelerator gradually.
These practices contribute towards a
reduction in fuel consumption and CO
2
emissions and also help to reduce the
background traffic noise.
If your vehicle has the steering-mounted
"CRUISE" control, make use of cruise control
at speeds above 25
mph (40
km/h) when the
traffic is flowing well.
Be proficient in 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.
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 Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps
when the visibility conditions do not require
their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter
; your vehicle will warm
up much faster while driving. compartment down (sunroof blind and window
blinds, etc.).
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.
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions.
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.
With an electronic gearbox, this indicator
appears only in manual mode.
With an automatic gearbox, this indicator

Range
(miles or km)
T he distance which can still be
travelled with the fuel remaining in
the tank (depending on the average
fuel consumption over the last
few
miles (kilometres) travelled). When the range falls below 19
miles (30 km),
dashes are displayed.
After filling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the
range is recalculated and is displayed if it
exceeds 62 miles (100 km).
If dashes instead of figures continue to be
displayed when driving, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
This value may vary following a change in
the style of driving or the terrain, resulting
in a significant change in the current fuel
consumption.

Heating and Ventilation
Advice
Using the ventilation and air
conditioning system
F
T
o ensure that the air is distributed
evenly, keep the external air intake
grilles at the base of the windscreen,
the nozzles, the vents, the air outlets
and the air extractor in the boot free
from obstructions.
F
D
o not cover the sunshine sensor,
located on the dashboard
; this is
used for regulation of the automatic air
conditioning system.
F
O
perate the air conditioning system for
at least 5 to 10
minutes once or twice
a month to keep it in per fect working
o r d e r.
F
I
f the system does not produce cold air,
switch it off and contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a
steep gradient in high temperatures,
switching off the air conditioning increases
the available engine power and so
improves the towing ability. Avoid driving for too long with the
ventilation off or with prolonged operation
of the recirculation of interior air - risk of
misting and deterioration of the air quality!
If the interior temperature is very high
after the vehicle has stood for a long
time in the sunshine, air the passenger
compartment for a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of
water under the vehicle which is per fectly
normal.

Automatic headlamp
dipping
This system automatically changes between
dipped and main beam headlamps according to
the brightness and 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 for obser vation of driving and
vehicle regulations.
The system will be operational as soon as
you exceed 16 mph (25
km/h).
If the speed drops below 9 mph (15
km/h),
the system no longer operates.

All-terrain (mud, damp grass,
etc.)
This mode, when moving off, allows
considerable spin on the wheel with
the least grip to optimise clearing of the
mud and to regain grip. At the same
time, the wheel with the most grip is
controlled in such a way as to transmit
as much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully
as possible.
(mode active up to 31 mph (50
km/h))
Sand
This mode allows little spin on the two
driving wheels at the same time to allow
the vehicle to move for ward and limit
the risks of getting stuck in the sand.
(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))
Do not use the other modes on sand as
the vehicle may become stuck. The ASR and DSC systems can be
deactivated by turning the knob to
the "
OFF" position.
Recommendations
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to
occasionally drive on other less passable
terrain.
However, it does not permit off-road
driving such as:
-
c
rossing and driving on terrain which
could damage the underbody or strip
away components (fuel pipe, fuel
cooler, etc.) due to obstacles or stones
in particular,
-
d
riving on terrain with steep gradients
and poor grip,
-
c
rossing a stream.
The ASR and DSC systems will no longer
have an effect on engine operation or
the brakes in the event of an involuntary
change of trajectory.
These systems are reactivated
automatically from 31 mph (50
km/h) or
every time the ignition is switched on.
Seat belts
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic
pretensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front seats
in the event of a front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly
tightens the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.

Safety

From approximately 12 mph (20 km/h), the
w arning lamp(s) flashes for two minutes,
accompanied by an audible signal. Beyond
these two
minutes, the warning lamp(s)
remains on if the driver or front passenger do
not fasten their seat belt(s). Advice
The driver must ensure that passengers
use the seat belts correctly and that they
are all fastened before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for
short journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles
as they will not fulfil their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia
reel permitting automatic adjustment of
the length of the strap to your size. The
seat belt is stowed automatically when not
in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the
pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels have an automatic
locking device at the time of a collision,
during sudden braking or if the vehicle
turns over. You can release the device by
pulling the strap firmly and then releasing
it so that it reels in slightly.Advice
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
-
b
e tightened as close to the body as
possible,
-
b
e pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it does not
twist,
-
b
e used to restrain only one person,
-
n
ot show any signs of cuts or fraying,
-
n
ot be converted or modified to avoid
affecting its performance.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all repairs on your
vehicle's seat belts, go to a qualified
workshop with the skills and equipment
needed, which a CITROËN dealer is able
to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop, particularly if the straps show
signs of damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product, sold by
CITROËN dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is
positioned and reeled in correctly.
