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 shift indicator invites you engage the most suitable gear: as Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows and leave the air vents 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.

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.

The CITROËN dealer will be able to look up the key code and the transponder code required to order a new key. Remote control The high frequency remote control is a sensitive system; do not operate it while it is in your pocket as there is a possibility that it may unlock the vehicle, without you being aware of it. Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your remote control out of range and out of sight of your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it from working and the remote control would have to be reinitialised. No remote control can operate when the key is in the ignition switch, even when the ignition is switched off, except for reinitialisation. Locking the vehicle Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment by the emergency services more difficult in an emergency.
