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.

Practical information
ignition is switched on (for vehicles equipped 
with an electric gauge), or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two 
services (or oil changes). It is recommended 
that you check the level, and top up if necessary, 
every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
In order to maintain the reliability of the 
engine and emissions control system, 
never use additives in the engine oil.
Checking using the dipstick
For the location of the dipstick, please refer 
to the illustration of the corresponding engine 
compartment.
►
 
Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and 
pull it out completely
.
►
 
Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean, 
lint-free cloth.
 
 
► Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down, 
then pull it out again to visually check the oil 
level: the correct level is between marks
 
A
  (max) 
and
  B (min).
Do not start the engine if the level is:
–
 
above mark
   A: contact a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
– below mark  B : top up the engine oil 
immediately.
Oil grade
Before topping up or changing the 
engine oil, check that the oil is suitable 
for your engine and complies with the 
recommendations in the service schedule 
supplied with the vehicle (or available from 
your CITROËN dealer or qualified workshop).
Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate 
your warranty in the event of engine failure.
Topping up the engine oil level
For the location of the engine oil filler cap, please 
refer to the corresponding engine compartment 
illustration.
►
 
Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills 
on engine components (risk of fire).
►
 
W
 ait a few minutes before checking the level 
again using the dipstick.
►
 
T
 op up the level if necessary.
►
 
After checking the level, carefully screw the 
oil filler cap back on
  and replace the dipstick in 
its tube.
The oil level indication displayed on the  instrument panel when the ignition is 
switched on is not valid for 30 minutes 
following an addition of oil. 
Brake fluid
The level of this fluid should be  close to 
the "MAX" mark. If not, check the brake 
pads for wear.
To know how often the brake fluid should be 
replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing 
schedule.
Clean the cap before removing it to refill. 
Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed 
container.
Engine coolant
It is normal to top up this fluid between 
two services.
The check and top-up must only be done with 
the engine cold.
A level of coolant that is too low risks causing 
major damage to the engine; the coolant level 
must be close to the "MAX" mark without ever 
going above it.
If the level is close to or below the " MIN" mark, it 
is essential to top it up.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of the 
coolant is regulated by the fan.
As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at 
least one hour after switching off the engine 
before carrying out any work.
In order to avoid the risk of scalding if you need 
to top up in an emergency, wrap a cloth around 
the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to 
allow the pressure to drop.

Practical information
Passenger compartment 
filter
Depending on the environment and the 
use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere, 
city driving), change it twice as often, if 
necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment filter 
can adversely affect air conditioning 
system performance and generate 
undesirable odours.
Air filter
Depending on the environment and the 
use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere, 
city driving), change it twice as often, if 
necessary .
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the engine 
oil is changed.
Particle filter (Diesel)
 / The start of clogging of the 
particle filter is indicated by the 
temporary lighting of this warning lamp, 
accompanied by an alert message.
As soon as traffic conditions allow, regenerate 
the filter by driving at a speed of at least 37
  mph 
(60
 
km/h), with an engine speed above 2,500 
rpm, for about 15 minutes (until the warning lamp 
goes out).
If it is not possible to reach 37 mph (60 km/h), 
leave the engine running at idle for about 15 
minutes, then drive with an engine speed
  above 
2,500 rpm for 15 minutes.
Do not switch off the engine until the filter 
is fully regenerated; repeated intervals 
can degrade the engine oil prematurely.
Regenerating the filter while the vehicle is 
stationary is not recommended.
If the warning lamp stays on, this 
indicates a low Diesel additive level.
For more information on  Checking levels, 
refer to the corresponding section.
Following prolonged operation of the 
vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you 
may, in exceptional circumstances, notice 
water vapour coming from the exhaust while 
accelerating. These emissions have no 
impact on the vehicle’s behaviour and the 
environment.
New vehicle
During the first few particle filter 
regeneration operations, you may notice a 
"burning" smell. This is perfectly normal.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any  maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Drive selector
The drive selector does not require any maintenance.
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style of 
driving, particularly in the case of vehicles 
used in town, over short distances. It may be 
necessary to have the condition of the brakes 
checked, even between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the 
brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads 
are worn.
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in  wintry conditions, ice can form on the 
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may 
be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and 
defrost them.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake disc 
wear, contact a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Manual parking brake
If you notice excessive brake lever travel 
or decreased effectiveness, the parking

In the event of a breakdown
All of these tools are specific to your vehicle and may vary depending on 
equipment.
Do not use them for any other purposes.
The jack must only be used to change a  wheel with a damaged or punctured tyre.
The jack does not require any maintenance.
The jack meets European standards, as 
defined in the Machinery Directive 2006/42/
EC.
Some parts of the jack such as the 
screws and hinges could cause injury: 
avoid touching them.
Carefully remove any traces of grease.
Temporary puncture  repair kit
Scan the QR Code on page 3 to view 
explanatory videos.
Made up of a compressor and a sealant 
cartridge,
  it allows you to carry out a  temporary 
repair of the tyre so that you can drive to the 
nearest garage.
It is designed to repair most punctures located 
on the tyre tread.
The vehicle's electric system allows the  connection of the compressor to the 12 V 
power supply for long enough to repair a tyre 
after a puncture.
Only the 12 V socket located at the front 
of the vehicle can be used to power the 
compressor.
For more information on the  Tool kit, 
refer to the corresponding section.
Repair procedure
Do not remove any foreign body 
(e.g.   nail, screw) which has penetrated 
the tyre.
►
 
Park the vehicle without obstructing traffic 
and apply the parking brake.

the compressor
.
►
 
Connect the compressor's electric plug to the 
vehicle's 12
  V socket.
► Affix the speed limit sticker .
The speed limit sticker must be affixed 
inside the vehicle in the area close to the 
driver, to remind them that a wheel is in 
temporary use.
►
 
Switch the ignition on.

► Switch on the compressor by moving the 
switch to position " I
" until the tyre pressure 
reaches 2 bar. The sealant product is injected 
under pressure into the tyre; do not disconnect 
the pipe from the valve during this operation (risk 
of blowback).
If after approximately 7 minutes, the 
pressure of 2 bar is not reached, this 
indicates that the tyre is not repairable; 
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop for assistance.
►
 
Move the switch to position " O
".
►
 
Disconnect the compressor's electric plug 
from the vehicle's 12
  V socket.
►
 
Remove the kit.
►
 
Refit the cap on the valve.
►
 
Remove and store the bottle of sealant.
The sealant product is harmful if  swallowed and causes irritation to the 
eyes.
Keep this product out of the reach of children.
The use-by date of the fluid is marked on the 
bottle.
After use, do not discard the bottle into the 
environment; take it to a CITROËN dealer or 
an authorised waste disposal site.
Do not forget to obtain a new bottle of 
sealant, available from a CITROËN dealer or 
a qualified workshop.
 
 
► Drive immediately for approximately 3   miles 
(5   kilometres) at reduced speed (between 
12 and 37 mph (20 and 60
  km/h)) to plug the 
puncture.
►
 
Stop to check the repair 
 and the tyre 
pressure  using the kit.
With a tyre repaired using this type of kit, 
do not exceed a speed of 50
  mph 
(80
 
km/h) and do not drive more than 
50
 
miles (80   km).
You must contact a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop to have the repair checked 
and the tyre changed.
Checking/adjusting tyre 
pressures
The compressor can be used,  without injecting 
sealant, to check and, if necessary, adjust the 
tyre pressures.
►
 
Remove the valve cap from the tyre and keep 
it in a clean place.
►
 
Uncoil 
 the pipe stowed under the compressor.
►
 
Screw the pipe onto the valve and tighten 
firmly
