Eco-driving

Familiarisation

Eco-driving

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

18

Optimise the use of your gearbox

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

With an electronic gearbox, do not press 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
practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO
emissions and also help 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 ( s unroof and window
blinds...).
To save energy, do not set the air conditioning at too low a temperature.
As soon as the desired temperature has been reached, limit the use of
the air conditioning, except if regulation is automatic.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting controls as soon as you consider
possible.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.

Switch off the headlamps and foglamp 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.

.Familiarisation

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 maintenance and warranty guide.

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

Indicator and warning lamps

Visual indicators informing the driver that a system is in operation, switched off or has a fault.

When the ignition is switched on

Certain warning lamps come on for a few
seconds in the instrument panel 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
section on the warning lamp concerned.

When switching on the ignition, the
displays in the instrument panel appear
dynamically and progressively. This is
normal operation.

Associated warnings

The switching on of certain warning lamps may
be accompanied by an audible signal and a
message.
The warning lamps may come on continuously
(fixed) or flash.

1

Certain warning lamps may come on in
one of two modes: fixed (continuous) or
flashing.
Only by relating the type of illumination
to the operation of the vehicle can it
be determined whether the situation is
normal or a fault has occurred. In the
event of a fault, the illumination of the
warning lamp may be accompanied by
a message.
Refer to the tables in the following
pages for more information.

Indicators

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 next service is due is
calculated from the last indicator zero reset,
depending on the distance travelled and the
time elapsed since the last service.

For Blue HDi Diesel versions, the
degree of deterioration of the engine oil
is also taken into account (depending
on the country of sale).

More than 1 800 miles (3 000 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 1 800 miles
(3 000 km) remain before the next service is due

For 5 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 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the screen indicates:

5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the spanner goes off; the distance recorder

Monitoring

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 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the screen indicates:

5 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.

Service overdue

For 5 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 186 miles
(300 km).
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the
screen indicates:

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

For Blue HDi Diesel versions, this alert
may also be accompanied by the fixed
illumination of the "SERVICE" warning
lamp when the ignition is on.

The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, depending
on the driving conditions.
Therefore, the spanner may also come
on if you have exceeded the period
since the last service, indicated in the

maintenance and warranty guide.

For Blue HDi Diesel versions, the
spanner may also be brought on earlier
than expected, depending on the
degree of deterioration of the engine oil
(depending on the country of sale).
The rate of deterioration of the engine
oil depends on the driving conditions in
which the vehicle is used.

Ventilation

Air intake

The air circulating in the passenger
compartment 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).

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F 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.

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

of the air conditioning system.

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

to keep it in perfect working order.

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

elements replaced regularly.

We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment 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).

F 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.

F 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.

Stop & Start

The heating and air conditioning
systems only work when the engine
is running. To maintain a comfortable
temperature in the passenger
compartment, you can temporarily
deactivate the Stop & Start system (see

remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
This system cannot be deactivated.

Example:

- You are in third gear.

- You press the accelerator pedal.

- The system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear.

The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow, accompanied by

On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held momentarily when you
release the brake pedal.

Operating fault

If a fault in the system occurs, these warning
lamps come on, accompanied by an alert
message. Contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop to have the system
checked.

Stop & Start

The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...).
The engine restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.

Operation

Going into engine STOP mode

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

- with a manual gearbox, when stationary,
in neutral, and you release the clutch
pedal.

- with an electronic gearbox, when
stationary or at speeds below 5 mph
(8 km/h) (depending on version), in neutral
(control on N) or when you press the brake
pedal.

Stop & Start time counter

A cumulative time counter for periods
in STOP mode during a journey.

It is displayed in the trip computer (accessible
via the "Driving assistance" menu of the
touch screen tablet).
It resets to zero every time the ignition is switched on.

For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionalities of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering...

Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the button.

Special cases: STOP mode not
available

STOP mode is not invoked principally when:

- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last engine start by the
driver,

- the engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.

In this case, the "ECO" warning lamp
flashes for a few seconds then goes
off.

This operation is perfectly normal.

Going into engine START mode

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

- with a manual gearbox, when you fully
depress the clutch pedal.

- with an electronic gearbox:

● control on D, when you release the brake

pedal,

● control on N and brake pedal released,

when you press control D,

● when you engage reverse.

Special cases: START invoked
automatically

START mode is invoked automatically when:

- you open the the driver's door,

- you unfasten the driver's seat belt,

- the speed of the vehicle exceeds 7 mph
(11 km/h) with an electronic gearbox,

- some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed for control of a system.

In this case the "ECO" warning lamp
flashes for a few seconds, then goes
off.

This operation is perfectly normal.

Maintenance

Before doing anything under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
system to avoid any risk of injury
resulting from automatic operation of
START mode.

This system requires a 12 V battery with a
special specification and technology (reference
numbers available from CITROËN dealers).
Fitting a battery not listed by
CITROËN introduces the risk of malfunction of
the system.
For charging, use a 12 V charger and do not
reverse the polarity.

The Stop & Start system makes use of
advanced technology. For any work on
the system go to a qualified workshop
with the skills and equipment required,
which a CITROËN dealer is able to
provide.
