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.
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 the use of headlamps and/or foglamps
depending on visibility conditions.
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
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 legal levels.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue after
the third cut-out of the nozzle, 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).
Optimising the driving range (Electric)
The vehicle’s electrical consumption depends
heavily on the route, the vehicle speed and your
driving style.
Try to remain in the "ECO" zone on the power
indicator, by driving smoothly and maintaining a
steady speed.
Anticipate the need to slow down, and brake
smoothly, whenever possible using engine
braking with the regenerative braking function,
which will move the power indicator into the
"CHARGE" zone.

Access
To preserve the battery charge in the electronic key and the vehicle's battery,
the "hands-free" functions are set to
hibernation mode after 21 days without use.
To restore these functions, press one of the
remote control buttons or start the engine with
the electronic key in the reader.
For more information on starting with the
Keyless Entry and Starting system, refer to
the corresponding section.
Electrical interference
The electronic key may not operate if
close to certain electronic devices such as
telephones (switched on or on standby) or
laptop computers, strong magnetic fields, etc.
Accumulations (water, dust, grime, salt, etc.) on the inner surface of the door
handle may affect detection.
If cleaning the inner surface of the door
handle using a cloth does not restore
detection, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
A sudden splash of water (stream of water,
high pressure jet washer, etc.) may be
identified by the system as the desire to open
the vehicle.
► Keep this button 1 pulled while removing key
2 from the housing.
If the alarm is activated, the audible
signal triggered on opening a door with
the key (integral with the remote control) will
stop when the ignition is switched on.
"Keyless Entry and Starting" on your
person
It allows the unlocking, locking and starting of the
vehicle while carrying the remote control on your
person in recognition zone " A".
In the ignition on (accessories) position,
with the "START/STOP" button, the
hands-free function is deactivated and it is
impossible to open the doors.
For more information on Starting/switching
off the engine,
Keyless Entry and Starting
and in particular the "ignition on" position,
refer to the corresponding section.
Locating the vehicle
Helps you to locate your vehicle from a distance,
with the vehicle locked:
–
The direction indicators flash for approximately
10 seconds.
–
The courtesy lamps come on.
► Press this button.
Remote operation of lighting
If fitted to the vehicle.A short press on this button switches on
the lighting remotely (lighting of
sidelamps, dipped beam headlamps and number
plate lamps).
A second press on the button before the end of
the timed period cancels the remote lighting.
Advice
Remote control
The remote control is a sensitive, high-
frequency device; avoid handling it in your
pocket, due to the risk of unintentionally
unlocking the vehicle.
Avoid pressing the remote control buttons
while out of range of the vehicle, due to
the risk of rendering the remote control
inoperative. It would then be necessary to
reset it.
The remote control does not work
when the
key is in the ignition switch, even when the
ignition is switched off.
Anti-theft protection
Do not modify the electronic vehicle
immobiliser, as this might result in
malfunctions.
For vehicles with a key ignition switch,
remember to remove the key and turn the
steering wheel to engage the steering lock.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked could make
it more difficult for the emergency services
to enter the passenger compartment in an
emergency.
As a safety precaution, remove the key from
the ignition or take the electronic key with you
when leaving the vehicle, even for a short
time.
Purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the key codes memorised by a
CITROËN dealer, to ensure that the keys in
your possession are the only ones able to
start the vehicle.
