Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
.Eco-driving
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 efficiency 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 CO
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.
2
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.
13
Eco-driving
14
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 recommendat ions 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 manufacturer's service schedule.
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.

Monitoring
Indicators
Service indicator
This information is displayed for a few seconds
when the ignition is switched on. It 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 2 000 miles (3 000 km)
remain before the next service is
due
When the ignition is switched on, no service
information appears on the instrument panel
central screen.
Between 600 miles (1 000 km)
and 2 000 miles (3 000 km) remain
before the next service is due
For 7 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the
spanner symbolising the service operations comes
on. The instrument panel central screen indicates the
distance remaining before the next service is due.
Example: 1 900 miles remain before the next service
is due.
For 7 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the
central screen indicates:
1
Less than 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
Example: 500 miles remain before the next
service is due.
For 7 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the central screen indicates:
The spanner remains on in the screen to
indicate that a service must be carried out
soon.
21
Monitoring
For 7 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.
For 7 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the central screen indicates:
The spanner remains on in the screen to
indicate that a service should have been
carried out.
Service indicator zero resetService overdue
The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, depending
on the driver's driving routine.
Therefore, the spanner may also come
on if you have exceeded the period
since the last service, indicated in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
After each service, the service indicator must
be reset to zero.
The procedure for resetting to zero is as
follows:
F switch off the ignition,
F press and hold the trip distance recorder
zero reset button,
F switch on the ignition; the distance recorder
display begins a countdown,
F when the display indicates "=0", release
the button; the spanner disappears.
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.
22
Engine oil level indicator*
On versions fitted with an electric oil level
indicator, the state of the engine oil level is
displayed in the instrument panel for a few
seconds, after the servicing information.
The level read will only be correct if the vehicle
is on level ground and the engine has been off
for more than 30 minutes.
Oil level correct
Oil level incorrect
Monitoring
1
Oil level indicator fault
This is signalled by the display of the message
"Oil level measurement invalid" in the
instrument panel.

workshop.
* Depending on version.
This is indicated by the display of the message
"Oil level incorrect" in the instrument panel
screen, accompanied by the service warning
lamp and an audible signal.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using
the dipstick, the level must be topped up to
avoid damage to the engine.
Refer to the "Checking levels" section.
In the event of a fault with the electric
indicator, the oil level is no longer
monitored.
If the system is faulty, you must check
the engine oil level using the manual
dipstick located under the bonnet.
