Eco-driving
Eco-driving
Eco-driving refers to a range of everyday 
practices that allow the motorist to optimise 
the vehicle's energy consumption (fuel and/or 
electricity) and CO
2 emissions.
Optimise your use of the gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and 
change up promptly. While accelerating, change 
up early.
With an automatic gearbox, favour automatic 
mode. Do not depress the accelerator pedal 
heavily or suddenly.
The gear shift indicator prompts you to engage 
the most suitable gear. Whenever this indication 
is displayed on the instrument panel, follow it 
straight away.
With an automatic gearbox, this indicator 
appears only in manual mode.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use 
engine braking rather than the brake pedal and 
press the accelerator gradually. These practices 
help to save on energy consumption, reduce 
CO
2 emissions and decrease general traffic 
noise.
Favour the use of the "Eco" driving mode.
With an EAT8 gearbox, with the gear selector 
in mode D, favour "free-wheeling" by gradually 
lifting your foot fully off the accelerator pedal in 
order to save fuel. When the traffic is flowing smoothly, select the 
cruise control.
Control 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.
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 (e.g.
  sunroof blind, window blinds).
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.
Adapt your use of the headlamps and/or 
foglamps to the level of visibility, in accordance 
with current legislation in the country in which 
you are driving.
Avoid running the engine before moving off, 
particularly in winter (other than in severe wintry 
conditions: temperature below -23°C). The 
vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.
As a passenger, avoid connecting your 
multimedia devices (e.g.
  film, music, video 
game) to help reduce the consumption of energy.
Disconnect all portable devices before leaving 
the vehicle.
Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle. Place the 
heaviest items in the boot as close as possible to 
the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and 
minimise wind resistance (e.g.
  roof bars, roof 
rack, bicycle carrier, trailer). 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 the 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 forget the spare wheel and, where 
applicable, the tyres on your trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (e.g.
  engine 
oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment 
filter, etc.). Observe the schedule of operations in 
the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system 
has a fault, 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 legal levels.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue after 
the third cut-out of the nozzle, to avoid overflow.

Safety
Snow
This mode adapts its strategy to the conditions of grip encountered for each of 
the two front wheels on moving off.
(mode active up to 50 mph (80
  km/h))
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 forward 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.
Deactivation
You can deactivate the ASR and DSC systems by turning the knob to the "OFF" 
position.
The ASR and DSC systems will no  longer act on the operation of the engine 
or of the brakes in the event of a change of 
trajectory.
These systems are reactivated automatically 
from 31 mph (50
  km/h) and whenever the 
ignition is switched on.
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:
–
 
crossing 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,
–
 
driving on terrain with steep gradients and 
poor grip,
–
 
crossing a stream.
Hill Assist  Descent 
Control
Hill Assist Descent Control system for medium to 
steep slopes, on tarmac or other road surfaces 
(e.g.   gravel, mud).
This system reduces the risk of slip or loss of 
control of the vehicle when descending, whether 
going forward or in reverse.
During a descent, the system assists the driver 
in maintaining a constant speed, depending on 
the gear engaged, while progressively releasing 
the brakes.
For the system to activate, the gradient 
must be greater than 5%.
The system can be used with the gearbox in 
neutral.
Otherwise, engage a gear corresponding to 
the speed to prevent the engine stalling.
With an automatic gearbox, the system can 
be used with the selector at  N, D or R.
When the system is regulating, the Active 
Safety Brake system is automatically 
deactivated.
The system is no longer available if the  speed of the vehicle is:
–
 
above 43 mph (70
   km/h).
–
 
managed by the 
 Adaptive cruise control, 
depending on the type of gearbox.
Switching on
By default, the system is not selected.
The state of the function is not saved when the 
ignition is switched off.   

130
Driving
an audible signal sounds and a message 
appears.
► 
Return the drive selector to position  P
; 
the audible signal stops and the message 
disappears.
When positioned on a steep slope with a 
loaded vehicle,  depress the brake 
pedal, select position P, apply the parking 
brake, unless it is set to automatic mode (with 
electric parking brake), then release the brake 
pedal.
In all circumstances, ensure that the 
selector is in position  P before leaving 
your vehicle.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning 
lamp comes on and a message is 
displayed, when the ignition is switched on.
In this case, the gearbox goes into back-up 
mode and is locked in 3
rd gear. You may feel a 
significant jolt (without risk to the gearbox) when 
changing from
 
P
 to R and from N to R.
Do not exceed 62 mph (100
  km/h), local speed 
restrictions permitting.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer 
or a qualified workshop.
There is a risk of damaging the gearbox: –  If the accelerator and brake pedals are 
depressed simultaneously
.
–
 
In the event of a battery failure, forcing the 
selector from position  P
 to another position.
Automatic gearbox
Never try to start the engine by pushing 
the vehicle.

Steering-mounted controls
(Depending on equipment)
In mode  M or   D, the steering-mounted control 
paddles can be used to change gear manually.
They cannot be used to select neutral or to 
engage or disengage reverse gear.
 
 
► Pull the " +" or "-" paddle towards you and 
release to shift up or down a gear, respectively.
Information displayed on 
the instrument panel
When the ignition is switched on, the gearbox 
status is displayed on the instrument panel:
P Parking
R Reverse
N Neutral
D1...8 Automatic forward gear
M1...8 Manual forward gear
The state of the gearbox remains displayed on 
the instrument panel for a few seconds after 
switching off the ignition.
Operation
Only appropriate mode change instructions are 
validated.
With the engine running, if it is necessary to 
depress the brake pedal to change modes, 
an alert message will be displayed on the 
instrument panel.
With the engine running and the brakes 
released, if R, D or M is selected, the 
vehicle moves off, even without pressing the 
accelerator pedal.
Never depress the accelerator and brake 
pedals at the same time - risk of damage to 
the gearbox!
If you open the driver's door while mode 
N is engaged, an audible signal will 
sound and mode  P will be engaged. The 
audible signal stops when the driver's door is 
closed.
At speeds below 3 mph (5 km/h), 
opening the driver ’s door will engage 
mode P
  - risk of sudden braking!
In the event of battery failure, it is 
essential to place the chock(s) supplied 
with the tool kit against one of the wheels to 
immobilise the vehicle.
Special aspects of automatic mode
The gearbox selects the gear that provides 
optimal performance based on ambient 
temperature, road profile, vehicle loading and 
driving style.
For maximum acceleration, press the accelerator 
fully down (kick-down). The gearbox changes 
down automatically or holds the selected gear 
until the maximum engine speed is reached.
Steering mounted controls allow the driver to 
temporarily select a gear, if the vehicle speed 
and engine speed conditions permit.
Special aspects of manual mode
The gearbox only changes from one gear to 
another if the vehicle speed and engine speed 
conditions permit.
