Eco-driving Eco-driving Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO emissions. Optimise the use of your gearbox Control the use of your electrical equipment With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without waiting. Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it During acceleration change up early. by opening the windows and air vents before using the air conditioning. The gear efficiency indicator invites you engage the most suitable gear: Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows and leave the air vents as soon as the indication is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it open. straight away. Remember to make use of equipment that can help keep the temperature in the passenger compartment down (sunroof and window blinds...). With an electronic gearbox, do not press the accelerator pedal heavily To save energy, do not set the air conditioning at too low a temperature. or suddenly. As soon as the desired temperature has been reached, limit the use of the air conditioning, except if regulation is automatic.

Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof Carry out this check in particular: bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference. - before a long journey, Remove roof bars and roof racks after use. - 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. At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres. Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of operations in the personalised servicing schedule for your vehicle. With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system develops a fault, your vehicle becomes polluting; go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop without delay to have the emissions of nitrous oxides brought within the limits set by the directive. 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.
