Customise your vehicle

Using expressive stickers

These styling stickers are treated to give good resistance to ageing and tearing. They have been designed to allow you to customise your vehicle's bodywork. Available also as accessories, we recommend that you have them fitted by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

When using a high pressure jet wash, keep the end of the lance at least 30 centimetres from the stickers

Driving safely

Stop & Start

Going into engine STOP mode

The "ECO" warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel and the engine automatically goes into standby:

- with a manual gearbox: at speeds below

12 mph (20 km/h), when you put the gear lever in neutral, and you release the clutch pedal.

In certain circumstances, the STOP mode may not be available; the "ECO" warning lamp flashes for a few seconds, then goes off.

166

Going into engine START mode

The "ECO" warning lamp goes off and the engine restarts automatically:

- with a manual gearbox: when you fully

depress the clutch pedal.

In certain circumstances, START mode may be invoked automatically; the "ECO" warning lamp flashes for a few seconds, then goes off.

167

Deactivation/Reactivation

You can deactivate the system at any time by pressing the "ECO OFF" button; the button's warning lamp comes on.

The system is automatically reactivated every time the engine is started with the key.

Before refuelling or doing anything under the bonnet, you must switch off the ignition with the key.

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, change up without waiting and drive by changing up quite soon. If your vehicle has the system, the gear shift indicator invites you to change up; it is displayed in the instrument panel, follow its instructions.

With an automatic or electronic gearbox, stay in Drive "D" or Auto "A" , according to the type of gear selector, without pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.

Drive smoothly

Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather than the brake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. These attitudes contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO reduce the background traffic noise.

When the traffic is flowing well, and if you have cruise control, make use of the system at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h).

emissions and also helps

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 (sun roof and window blinds...). Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic digital 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.

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...) and observe the schedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.

When refuelling, do not continue after the 3 rd cut-of f 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

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

Cer tain 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. The passenger's airbag system operation lamp stays on for about a minute after switching on the ignition, even after the engine has started.

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

Comfort

This section describes the operation of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, the scented air freshener and all of the adjustments for the seats, steering wheel and mirrors, for your comfort and an optimum driving position.

Ventilation

Air intake

The air circulating in the passenger compar tment is filtered and originates either from the outside via the grille located at the base of the windscreen or from the inside in air recirculation mode.

Air treatment

The incoming air follows various routes depending on the controls selected by the driver:

- direct arrival in the passenger compartment (air intake),

- passage through a heating circuit (heating),

- passage through a cooling circuit (air conditioning).

The temperature control enables you to obtain the level of comfort required by mixing the air of the various circuits. The air distribution control enables you to diffuse the air in the passenger compartment combining several air vents. The air flow control enables you to increase or reduce the speed of the ventilation blower.

Control panel

The controls of this system are grouped together on control panel A on the centre console. Depending on the model, the functions offered are:

- the level of comfort required,

- air flow,

- air distribution,

- demisting-defrosting,

- manual or digital air conditioning controls.

Air distribution

1. Windscreen demisting-defrosting vents.

2. Front side window demisting-defrosting

vents.

3. Side adjustable air vents.

4. Central adjustable air vents.

5. Air outlets to the front footwells.

6. Air outlets to the rear footwells.

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning

Comfort

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines below: ) To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles

located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well as the air extractor located in the boot.

) Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation

of the digital air conditioning system.

) Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month

to keep it in perfect working order.

) Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter

elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).

We recommend the use of a combined passenger compar tment filter. Thanks to its

special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).

) To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have

it checked regularly as recommended in the Maintenance and Warranty Guide.

) If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop. When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the air conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.

If after an extended stop in sunshine, the interior temperature is very high, first ventilate the passenger compartment for a few moments. Put the air flow control at a setting high enough to quickly change the air in the passenger compartment. The air conditioning system does not contain chlorine and does not present any danger to the ozone layer.

The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water under the vehicle which is perfectly normal.
