333-334Overview 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.
.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: - - - Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
before a long journey, at each change of season, after a long period out of use.
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.
10
Eco-driving General operation Recommendations It is necessary to press firmly, particularly for "flick" gestures (scrolling through lists, moving the map...). A light wipe is not enough. The tablet does not recognise pressing with more than one finger. This technology allows use at all temperatures and when wearing gloves. Do not use pointed objects on the touch screen tablet. Do not touch the tablet screen with wet hands. Uses a soft clean cloth to clean the tablet touch screen.
7-inch touch screen tablet
The 7-inch touch screen tablet gives access to: - - menus for adjusting settings for vehicle
the heating/air conditioning controls,
- -
functions and systems, audio and display configuration menus, audio system and telephone controls and the display of associated information,
and, depending on equipment, allows: -
the display of alert messages and the visual parking sensors information, the permanent display of the time and the ambient temperature (a blue warning lamp appears when there is a risk of ice), access to the controls for the navigation system and Internet services, and the display of associated information.
-
-
For reasons of safety, the driver should only carry out operations that require close attention, with the vehicle stationary. Some functions are not accessible when driving.
Principles Use the buttons on either side of the screen for access to the menus, then press the virtual buttons in the touch screen. Each menu is displayed over one or two pages (primary page and secondary page).

1Monitoring Service indicator System which informs the driver when the next service is due, in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule. The point at which the service is due is calculated from the last indicator zero reset, according to the mileage covered and the time elapsed since the last service. For BlueHDi Diesel versions, depending on the country of sale, the degree of deterioration of the engine oil may also be taken into account.
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:
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.
5 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.
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.
