Eco-driving

Eco-driving

Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

Optimise the use of your gearbox

With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without waiting.

During acceleration change up early.

With an automatic or electronic gearbox, give preference to automatic mode and avoid pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.

The gear shift indicator invites you engage the most suitable gear: as soon as the indication is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it straight away.

For vehicles fitted with an electronic or 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 progressively. These practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions and also helps reduce the background traffic noise.

If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well.

Control the use of your 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. Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows and leave the air vents open.

Remember to make use of equipment that can help keep the temperature in the passenger compartment down (sunroof and window blinds...). Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic regulation, as soon as the desired temperature is attained.

Switch off the demisting and defrosting controls, if not automatic. Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.

Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps when the level of light does 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, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices

(film, music, video game...), you will contribute towards limiting the consumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.

Disconnect your portable devices before leaving the vehicle.

8

Eco-driving .

Limit the causes of excess consumption

Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.

Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference. Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.

At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.

Observe the recommendations on maintenance

Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the door aperture, 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.

Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.

Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of operations recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.

With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle becomes polluting; go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop without delay to have the emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to the legal level.

When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any overflow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to a consistent average.

Indicator and warning lamps

Visual indicators informing the driver that a system is in operation (operation or deactivation indicator lamps) or of the occurrence of a fault

(warning lamp).

When the ignition is switched on

Certain warning lamps come on for a few seconds when the vehicle's ignition is switched on.

When the engine is started, these same warning lamps should go off.

If they remain on, before moving off, refer to the information on the warning lamp concerned.

Associated warnings

The illumination of certain warning lamps may be accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the multifunction screen.

The warning lamps may come on continuously

(fixed) or flash.

Certain warning lamps may come on in one of two different modes. Only by relating the type of illumination to the operating status of the vehicle can it be ascertained whether the situation is normal or whether a fault has occurred.

Monitoring

Service indicator

System which informs the driver when the next service is due, in accordance with the manufacturer's servicing schedule.

The point at which the service is due is calculated from the last indicator zero reset. It is determined by two parameters:

-the distance travelled,

-the time elapsed since the last service.

More than 1800 miles (3000 km) remain before the next service is due

When the ignition is switched on, no service information appears in the screen.

Between 600 miles (1 000 km) and 1800 miles (3 000 km) remain before the next service is due

For a few seconds after the ignition is switched on, the spanner symbolising the service operations comes on. The distance recorder display line indicates the distance remaining before the next service is due.

Example: 1 700 miles (2 800 km) remain before the next service is due.

For a few seconds after the ignition is switched on, the screen indicates:

A few seconds after the ignition is switched on, the spanner goes off; the distance recorder resumes its normal operation. The screen then indicates the total and trip distances.

Less than 600 miles (1 000 km) remain before the next service is due

Example: 560 miles (900 km) remain before the next service is due.

For a few seconds after the ignition is switched on, the display indicates:

A few seconds after the ignition is switched on, the distance recorder resumes its normal operation. The spanner remains on to indicate that a service must be carried out soon.

22

Service overdue

For a few seconds after the ignition is switched on,the spanner flashes to indicate that the service must be carried out as soon as possible. Example: the service is overdue by 180 miles (300 km).

For a few seconds after the ignition is switched on, the display indicates:

A few seconds after the ignition is switched on, the distance recorder resumes its normal operation. The spanner remains on.

The distance remaining may be weighted by the time factor, depending on the driver's driving habits. Therefore, the spanner may also come on if you have exceeded the period since the last service, indicated in the maintenance and warranty guide.

Service indicator zero reset

After each service, the service indicator must be reset to zero.

The procedure for resetting to zero is as follows:

Fswitch off the ignition,

Fpress and hold the trip distance recorder zero reset button,

Fswitch on the ignition; the distance recorder display begins a countdown,

Fwhen the display indicates "=0", release the button; the spanner disappears.

Monitoring 1

Following this operation, if you wish to disconnect the battery, lock the vehicle and wait at least five minutes for the zero reset to be taken into account.

Retrieving the service information

You can access the service information at any time.

FPress the trip distance recorder zero reset button.

The service information is displayed for a few seconds, then disappears.

23

Monitoring

Engine oil level indicator*

On vehicles fitted with an electric oil level indicator, information on the oil level is displayed in the instrument panel for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on, after the service information.

The level shown will only be correct if the vehicle is on level ground and the engine has been off for more than

30minutes.

*Depending on version.

Oil level correct

Oil level low

This is indicated by the flashing of "OIL", accompanied by illumination of the service warning lamp, an audible signal and a message.

If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using the dipstick, the level must be topped up to prevent damage to the engine.

Refer to the "Checking levels" section.

Oil level indicator fault

This is signaled by the flashing of "OIL--". Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

In the event of a fault with the electric oil level indicator, the engine oil level is no longer monitored.

While the system is faulty, you should check the engine oil level using the manual dipstick located under the bonnet.

Refer to the "Checking levels" section.
