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.

Checking levels
Check all of the following levels regularly in 
accordance with the manufacturer's service 
schedule. Top them up if required, unless 
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the 
corresponding system checked by a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The fluids must comply with the  manufacturer's requirements and with 
the vehicle's engine.
Take care when working under the  bonnet, as certain areas of the engine 
may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the 
cooling fan could start at any time (even with 
the ignition off).
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or  fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health and 
very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into 
sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers reserved 
for this purpose at a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Engine oil
The level is checked, with the engine  having been switched off for at least 30 
minutes and on level ground, either using the oil 
level indicator in the instrument panel when the

Practical information
7Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap 
and top up to the required level.
Vehicle with electric motorDo not top up the coolant. 
If the level is close to or below 
the  "MIN"   mark, it is essential to contact a 
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Screenwash fluid
Top up to the required level when  necessary.
Capacity of the tank:
–
 
5.3 litres for "very cold climate" versions.
–
 
2.2 litres for other versions.
Fluid specification
The fluid must be topped up with a pre-mixed 
product.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a fluid 
containing an anti-freeze agent which is 
appropriate for the temperature conditions 
must be used in order to protect the system's 
components (pump, tank, ducts, jets).
Filling with pure water is prohibited in all 
circumstances (risk of freezing, 
limescale, etc.).
Diesel fuel additive (Diesel 
with particle filter)
On reaching the minimum level in 
the particle filter additive tank, one 
of these warning lamps comes on fixed, 
accompanied by an audible signal and a warning 
message.
Topping up
The topping up of this additive must be carried 
out quickly.
Visit a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
An alert is triggered when the reserve level is 
reached.
For more information on the  Indicators and in 
particular the AdBlue range indicators, refer to 
the corresponding section.
To avoid the vehicle being immobilised in 
accordance with regulations, you must top up the 
AdBlue tank.
For more information on  AdBlue
® (BlueHDi), 
and in particular the supply of AdBlue, refer to 
the corresponding section.
Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these 
components in accordance with the 
manufacturer's service schedule and according 
to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by 
CITROËN or products of equivalent 
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of 
components as important as those in the 
braking system, CITROËN selects and offers 
very specific products.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any  maintenance.
Check regularly that the terminals are correctly 
tightened (versions without quick-release 
terminals) and that the connections are clean.
For more information on the precautions 
to take before any work on the 12   V 
battery, refer to the corresponding section.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are 
fitted with a 12   V lead-acid battery with 
special technology and specifications.
Its replacement should be carried out only by 
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.   

197
Practical information
7brake must be adjusted, even between two 
services.
This system must be checked by a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any routine servicing. However, in the event of a 
problem, do not hesitate to have the system 
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
For more information on the  Electric 
parking brake, refer to the 
corresponding section.
Wheels and tyres
The inflation pressure of all tyres,  including the spare wheel, must be 
checked on "cold” tyres.
The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure 
label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven 
for more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles 
(10 kilometres) at over 31 mph (50
  km/h), add 
0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the 
label.
Under-inflation increases energy 
consumption. Non-compliant tyre 
pressures cause tyres to wear prematurely 
and have an adverse effect on the vehicle's 
road holding - risk of accident! Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the 
braking and road holding performance of the 
vehicle. Regularly check the condition of the 
tyres (tread and sidewalls) and rims as well as 
the presence of the valve caps.
When the wear indicators no longer appear set 
back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is 
less than 1.6 mm; replace the tyres as soon as 
possible.
Using different size wheels and tyres from those 
specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel 
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer 
reading and have an adverse effect on road 
holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles 
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Always mark the direction of rotation on the tyres 
that will be stored when fitting winter or summer 
tyres. Store them in a cool, dry place and away 
from direct exposure to the sun's rays.
Winter or 4-seasons tyres can be 
identified by this symbol on their 
sidewalls.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
To respect the environment and ensure  compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without 
adversely affecting the performance or fuel 
consumption of its Diesel engines, CITROËN 
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles with 
a system that combines SCR (Selective Catalytic 
Reduction) with a Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) for 
the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains 
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of 
the nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and 
water, which are harmless to health and the 
environment.
The AdBlue® is contained in  a special 
tank holding about 17 litres.
Its capacity allows a driving range of 
approximately 3,000
  miles (5,000   km) (which 
may vary considerably  depending on your 
driving style and the vehicle). An alert system 
is automatically triggered when the remaining 
range reaches 1,500 miles (2,400
  km), i.e. once 
the reserve level has been reached.
Several alerts are triggered successively during 
the remaining 1,500 miles (2,400
  km) until the 
tank is empty and the vehicle is immobilised.
For more information on the  Warning 
and indicator lamps  and the associated 
alerts, or the Indicators, please refer to the 
corresponding sections.
Once  the AdBlue® tank is empty, a device 
required by law prevents the engine from 
being restarted.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of 
emissions from the vehicle will no longer meet
