Eco-driving

C4-Picasso-II_en_Chap00c_eco-conduite_ed02-2016

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 gearbox, give preference to automatic mode and 
avoid pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.

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 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.

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

Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO

2

 emissions.

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

2

 emissions and also help 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.

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.

10

Eco-driving

C4-Picasso-II_en_Chap00c_eco-conduite_ed02-2016

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 nitrogen 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.
