Eco-driving

Optimise the use of your

gearbox

With a manual gearbox, move off gently and

change up without waiting. While accelerating

changing up early.

With an automatic gearbox, give preference

to automatic mode and avoid 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 practices contribute

towards a reduction in fuel consumption and

CO2 emissions and also help to 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.

Consider using equipment that can help

keep the temperature in the passenger

compartment down (sunroof and window

blinds, etc.).

Unless it has automatic regulation, switch off

the air conditioning as soon as the desired

temperature has been reached.

Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps

when the ambient light level does not require

their use.

Avoid running the engine before moving off,

particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up

much faster while driving.

Switch off the demisting and defrosting

controls, if not automatic.

Switch off the heated seat as soon as

possible.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your

multimedia devices (film, music, video game

etc.), you will contribute towards limiting the

consumption of electrical energy, and so of

fuel.

Disconnect your portable devices before

leaving the vehicle.

The gear efficiency indicator invites you to

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 automatic gearbox,

this indicator appears only in manual mode.

Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices

that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel

consumption and CO2 emissions.

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, etc.). Preferably use a

roof box.

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.

Have your vehicle serviced regularly

(engine oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger

compartment filter, etc.) 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. Visit as soon as possible a

CITROËN or a qualified workshop to

make your vehicle’s level of nitrogen oxide

emissions compliant to the standard.

When filling the tank, do not continue after the

3rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid 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.

Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on

any trailer or caravan.
