Eco-driving
Eco-driving
Eco-driving refers to a range of everyday
practices that allow the motorist to optimise their
fuel consumption and CO
2emissions.
Optimise your use of the gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and
change up promptly. While accelerating, change
up early.
The gear efficiency indicator prompts you to
engage the most suitable gear: whenever this
indication is displayed on the instrument panel,
follow it straight away.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use
engine braking rather than the brake pedal and
press the accelerator gradually. These attitudes
help to save fuel, reduce CO
2 emissions and
decrease general traffic noise.
If the vehicle has the steering-mounted
"CRUISE" control, use cruise control at speeds
above 19 mph (30 km/h) when traffic is flowing
smoothly.
Use electrical equipment wisely
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.
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.
Switch off the headlamps and 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.
As a passenger, avoid connecting your
multimedia devices (film, music, video game,
etc.) to help reduce consumption of electrical
energy, and hence fuel.
Disconnect all portable devices before leaving
the vehicle.
Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
minimise wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer, etc.). 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 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 overlook the spare wheel and, where
applicable, the tyres on your trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil,
oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment filter,
etc.) and observe the schedule of operations in
the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system
is faulty, 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 regulatory
compliance.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue after
the third nozzle cut-out, to avoid overflow.
You will only see the fuel consumption of your
new vehicle settle down to a consistent average
after the first 1,900 miles (3,000 kilometres).

Ease of use and comfort
3If the air flow control is in
position 0 (system deactivated), thermal
comfort is no longer managed. A slight flow of
air can still be felt, due to the forward
movement of the vehicle.
Air distribution
The distribution of incoming air is directed by
turning the control towards:
the side vents and central vents,
the side vents, central vents and
footwells,
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.
Recirculating the interior air isolates the
passenger compartment from exterior odours
and fumes.
Used simultaneously with the air conditioning
switched on and the setting for the blown air
strength (from 1 to 4), recirculation makes it
possible to achieve the desired ambient air
comfort for both hot and cold settings. Return to exterior air intake as soon as possible
to avoid deterioration of the air quality and the
formation of mist.
► Put the control in this position to
activate interior air recirculation.
► Put the control in this position to
restore exterior air intake.

automatic air conditioning system.
– Using the moving ring surrounding the AUTO
control, adjust the comfort temperature to be
reached according to a scale between: • HI (High up to ≈32) and
• LO (Low until ≈16).
The system manages the air distribution, flow
and intake to ensure the comfort equivalent
to the graduation displayed and sufficient air
recirculation in the passenger compartment.
Customisable AUTO mode
In AUTO mode, some settings can be changed:
distribution, air flow, air conditioning and air
intake/recirculation.
The display changes from FULL AUTO to
AUTO.
► To return to fully automatic operation, press
button 1 again. The control panel display
changes from AUTO to FULL AUTO.
If after manual adjustments, the system cannot
maintain the selected graduation, this will flash
and AUTO will then go out. Press control 1 to
return to the automatic settings.

loop of the Diesel engine to facilitate starting.
It improves the performance of the defrosting
and demisting and, if fitted to the vehicle, that of
the heated seats.
The passenger compartment’s temperature rises
more quickly.
This system must be programmed to be started
before entering the vehicle.
Automatic additional heating
This is an additional system that starts
automatically when the ignition is switched on. Its
activation depends on the outside temperature
and the temperature inside the vehicle.
It switches off automatically as soon as the
heating is manually switched on.
Supplementary heating
On 2-3 seat versions, it is located under the
driver's seat with air diffusion directed towards
the front.
Complete switch-off
► Press button 3 to switch off the system. The
LED and the display go out.
Temperature
The scale is between:
– a rise in interior air temperature HI (High),
which heats up to a maximum graduation of 32,

which decreases to a graduation of 16.
Air distribution
► Press one of the buttons 4 to direct the air
flow towards:
the windscreen and front side window
vents (demisting - defrosting windows),
the central and side vents (chest and
face),
the diffusers of the front and rear zones
(footwells).
Combining buttons makes it possible to refine
the air distribution.
Air flow
► Press one of the buttons 5 to increase or
decrease the air flow.
Air intake/Air recirculation
The intake of exterior air prevents the formation
of mist on the windscreen and side windows.
Recirculating the interior air isolates the
passenger compartment from exterior odours
and fumes.
This function allows hot or cold air to be delivered selectively and more quickly.
Return to exterior air intake as soon as possible
to avoid deterioration of the air quality and the
formation of mist.
► Press button 6 to activate interior air
recirculation. The indicator lamp comes on.
Pressing this button again restores exterior air
intake. The indicator lamp goes off.
Pressing button 1 also restores exterior
air intake. Returning to this position
allows the air in the passenger compartment
to be renewed and demisting. Pressing button

Driving
Never leave the vehicle without first
switching the ignition off with the key.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
using the key.
Special cases: STOP mode
not available
STOP mode is not activated when:
– the system is initialising,
– the driver's door is open,
– the driver's seat belt is not fastened,
– the air conditioning is on,
– the rear screen demisting is on,
– the windscreen wipers are on fast wipe,
– the reverse gear is engaged for the parking
manoeuvre,
– some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, particle filter regeneration,
braking assistance, exterior temperature, etc.)
where the engine is needed to assure control of
a system.
– during intensive use of Stop & Start, it may
be deactivated to conserve starting ability;
go to a CITROËN dealer to have the function
reactivated.
This indicator lamp in the instrument panel flashes for a few seconds, then
goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Going into engine START
mode
With a gear engaged, the automatic restarting of
the engine is only possible by fully depressing
the clutch pedal.
This indicator lamp goes off and the engine restarts.
If, after an automatic restart in START mode, the
driver does not perform any action on the vehicle
within 3 minutes, the system stops the engine
permanently. The engine can only be restarted
with the ignition key.
Special cases: START mode
activated automatically
The START mode may be invoked automatically
in the following circumstances:
– the vehicle is free-wheeling on a gradient,
– the windscreen wipers are on fast wipe,
– the air conditioning is on,
– the engine has been stopped for around 3
minutes with Stop & Start,
– some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance, air
conditioning setting, etc.) where the engine is
needed for control of the system or vehicle.
In this case, a message appears in the
instrument panel screen, accompanied by
this indicator lamp, which flashes for a few
seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
While in STOP mode with a manual
gearbox, if a gear is engaged without
fully depressing the clutch pedal, restarting
may not take place.
An indicator lamp and/or message is
displayed in the instrument panel asking
you to fully depress the clutch pedal to allow
restarting.
With the engine stopped in STOP mode,
if the driver unfastens their seat belt and
opens a front door, the engine can only be
restarted using the ignition key. There is an
audible signal, accompanied by flashing of this
indicator lamp, and the display of a message.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, the Stop &
Start is deactivated and this warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by a message on the
instrument panel display.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
In the event of a malfunction in STOP mode, the
engine can be restarted by fully depressing the
clutch pedal or putting the gear lever in neutral.
Hill start assist
This system keeps your vehicle briefly stationary
(for approximately 2 seconds) when making a hill
start, while you transfer your foot from the brake
pedal to the accelerator pedal.
This system (also called HHC - Hill Hold
Control), integrated with the dynamic stability
control system, is activated in the following
conditions:
– the vehicle must be stationary, engine running,
foot on the brake,
– the gradient of the road must be steeper than
5%,
– uphill, the gearbox must be in neutral or in a
gear other than reverse,
– downhill, reverse gear must be engaged.
The hill start assist system is a driving
aid. It is not an automatic vehicle parking
function or an automatic parking brake.
Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal pressed,
from the time you release the brake pedal,
