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 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.
Eco-driving
15
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 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.

Indicator and warning lamps

19
Monitoring
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 and/or instrument panel screen 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 switching on of certain warning lamps may be accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen. The warning lamps may come on continuously (fixed) or flash.
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. Refer to the tables on the following pages for more information.

Heating and Ventilation

System which creates and maintains good conditions of comfort and visibility in the vehicle's passenger compartment.
controls
The incoming air follows various routes depending on the controls selected by the driver, the front passenger and rear passengers. 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
select the air vents used in the passenger compartment by the combined use of the associated buttons.
The air flow control enables you to increase or
reduce the speed of the ventilation fan. These controls are grouped together on control
panel A on the centre console.

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 digital 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 (refer to the "Checks" section).
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. You can switch off the air conditioning (AC button) and stay in Automatic mode in order to limit fuel consumption. If misting appears while in this mode, you can switch the air conditioning back on temporarily to improve the situation. 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.
If you want to prioritise heating, start and leave the engine running by pressing ECO OFF.

Dual-zone digital air conditioning

Automatic operation
1. Automatic comfort programme
We recommend the use of one of the three AUTO modes available: they provide optimised regulation of
the temperature in the passenger compartment according to the comfort value that you have chosen. These three modes automatically control the system, according to the desired setting, while also maintaining the desired comfort value.
This system is designed to operate effectively in all seasons, with the windows closed.
F Press the "AUTO" button repeatedly:
- a first indicator lamp comes on; the "low" setting mode is selected,
- a second indicator lamp comes on; the "medium" setting mode is selected,
- a third indicator lamp comes on; the "high" mode setting is selected.
Use the "medium" and "high" settings in preference to maintain the comfort level at the rear.
Comfort
When the engine is cold, the air flow will reach its optimum level progressively, taking account of the weather and the desired comfort level so as to avoid too great a distribution of cold air. On entering the vehicle, if the interior temperature is much colder or warmer than the comfort value, there is no need to change the value displayed in order to obtain the comfort required. In
all seasons, with the windows closed
the system corrects the difference in temperature automatically and as quickly as possible.
91
2-3. driver's-passenger's side
settings
The driver and front passenger can each adjust the temperature to their requirements.
The value indicated on the display corresponds
to a level of comfort and not to a temperature in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
4. Automatic visibility programme
See the "Front demisting ­defrosting" section.
Manual operation
If you wish, you can make a different choice from that offered by the system by changing a setting. The "AUTO" indicator lamps go off; the other functions, except the air conditioning, will still be controlled automatically. F Pressing the "AUTO" button returns the
system to completely automatic operation.
F Turn control 2 or 3 to the left or to the right
respectively to decrease or increase this
value.
A setting around the value 21 provides optimum comfort. However, depending on your requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is normal. You are advised to avoid a left / right setting difference of more than 3.
With Stop & Start, when demisting has been activated, the STOP mode is not available.
For maximum cooling or heating of the passenger compartment, it is possible to exceed the minimum value 14 or the maximum value 28.
F Turn control 2 or 3 to the left
until "LO" is displayed or to the

5. Air conditioning On / Off
F Press this button to switch off
the air conditioning.
Switching the system off could result in discomfort (humidity, condensation). F Press this button again to return to
automatic operation of the air conditioning. The indicator lamp in the "A/c" button comes on.
To obtain cool air more quickly, you can
use recirculation of the interior air for a
few moments. Then revert to the intake of exterior air.
6. Air distribution adjustment
F Press one or more buttons to
direct the air flow towards:
- the windscreen and side windows,
- the outer and centre air vents,
- the footwells.
You can combine the three orientations to obtain the desired air distribution.
7. Air ow adjustment
F Turn this control to the left to
decrease the air flow or to the
right to increase the air flow.
The air flow indicator lamps, between the two fans, come on progressively in relation to the value requested.
8. Air intake / Air recirculation
Air recirculation enables the passenger compartment to be isolated from exterior odours and smoke when external pollution is detected (if your vehicle is fitted with a pollution sensor). It is activated automatically on operation of the screenwash. It is inactive when the ambient temperature is below 5 °C to avoid the risk of misting in the vehicle.
- The indicator lamp with "A" on
indicates that recirculation is
controlled automatically.
- The indicator lamp without "A"
on indicates that recirculation is
forced manually.
- Both indicator lamps off
indicates that recirculation is
controlled automatically without taking account of the detection of pollution.
Without pollution sensor
If your vehicle is not fitted with a pollution sensor, press this button
to force recirculation manually.
9. Maximum air conditioning
F If you want to quickly cool
the air in the passenger compartment, press this button; "LO" is displayed.
To return to the previous settings, press the button again.
Switching the system off
F Turn the air flow control to the
left until all of the indicator
lamps go off.
This action switches off the air conditioning and the ventilation. Temperature related comfort is no longer assured but a slight flow of air, due to the movement of the vehicle, can still be felt. F Modify the settings (temperature, air flow
or air distribution) or press the "AUTO" button to reactivate the system with the values set before it was switched off.
Avoid prolonged operation in interior air recirculation mode or driving for long periods with the system off (risk of

Driving

A few driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations at all times and remain vigilant whatever the traffic conditions. Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your hands on the wheel so that you are ready to react at any time to any eventuality. On a long journey, a break every two hours is strongly recommended. In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate the need to brake and increase the distance from other vehicles.
driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded roads, as this could cause serious damage to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the electrical systems of your vehicle.
If you are obliged to drive through water:
- check that the depth of water does not exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that might be generated by other users,
- deactivate the Stop & Start system,
- drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10 km/h),
- do not stop and do not switch off the
engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as circumstances allow, make several light brake applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied - Risk of overheating and damage to the braking system! Do not park or run the engine when stationary in areas where inflammable substances and materials (dry grass, dead leaves...) might come into contact with the hot exhaust system - Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised
with the engine running. If you have to leave your vehicle with the engine running, apply the parking brake and put the gearbox into neutral or position N or P, depending on the type of gearbox.
