Driving
Driving recommendations
► Observe the driving regulations and remain 
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
►
 
Monitor your surroundings and keep your 
hands on the wheel to be able to react to 
anything that may happen any time.
►
 
Drive smoothly
 , anticipate the need for 
braking and maintain a longer safety distance, 
especially in bad weather.
►
 
Stop the vehicle to carry out operations that 
require close attention (such as adjustments).
►
 
During long trips, take a break every 2 hours.
T
o ensure the durability of the vehicle and 
for safety reasons, remember that certain 
precautionary measures must be taken when 
driving the vehicle:
Manoeuvre cautiously, at low speed
Manoeuvre slowly.
Before turning, check that there are no obstacles 
at mid-height along the sides.
Before reversing, check that there are no 
obstacles, particularly at high level behind the 
vehicle.
Be aware of the external dimensions, if ladders 
are fitted.
Drive the vehicle carefully
Take corners gently.
Anticipate the need to brake as the stopping 
distance is increased, particularly on wet or icy 
roads.
Be aware of the effect of side winds on the 
vehicle.
Maintenance
Inflate to the minimum pressure indicated on the 
label, or even over-inflate by 0.2 to 0.3 bar for 
long journeys.
Important!
Never leave the engine running in a 
closed space without sufficient 
ventilation.  Internal combustion engines emit 
toxic exhaust gases such as carbon 
monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death!
In very severe wintry conditions 
(temperature below -23°C), let the engine 
run for 4 minutes before moving off, to ensure 
the correct operation and durability of the 
mechanical components of your vehicle 
(engine and gearbox).
Never drive with the parking brake 
applied . Risk of overheating and 
damaging the braking system!
Do not park the vehicle or leave the 
engine running on a flammable 
surface (e.g. dry grass, dead leaves).The 
vehicle exhaust system is very hot, even 
several minutes after the engine stops. Risk 
of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unattended with 
the engine running.  If you have to leave 
your vehicle with the engine running, apply 
the parking brake and put the gearbox into 
neutral or position  N or P (depending on the 
type of gearbox).
Never leave children inside the vehicle 
unsupervised.
On flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded 
roads, as this could cause serious damage to the 
engine or gearbox, as well as to your vehicle's 
electrical systems.
 
 
If the vehicle absolutely must drive through a 
flooded section of road:
►
 
Check that the depth of the water does not 
exceed 15
  cm, taking account of waves that 
might be generated by other users.
►
 
Deactivate the Stop & Start function.
►
 
Drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In 
all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10
  km/h).
►
 
Do not stop and do not switch off the motor
 .
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety 
conditions allow, make several light brake 
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle, 
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Noise (Electric)
On the outside
Due to the vehicle’s quiet operation when 
driving, the driver must pay particular attention.
At speeds of up to 19 mph (30 km/h), the 
pedestrian horn warns other road users of the 
vehicle’s presence.
Cooling the traction battery
The cooling fan comes on during 
charging to cool the on-board charger and the 
traction battery.
On the inside
During use, you may hear certain perfectly 
normal noises specific to electric vehicles, such 
as:
–  Traction battery relay when starting.
–  Vacuum pump when braking.
–  Vehicle tyres or aerodynamics when driving.
–  Jolting and knocking noise during hill starts.

Towing
Driving with a trailer places greater 
demands on the towing vehicle and 
particular care must be taken.
Do not exceed the maximum towable 
weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by 
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the lower 
air density at high altitudes decreases engine 
performance.
New vehicle: do not tow a trailer until the 
vehicle has driven at least 620 miles 
(1,000 kilometres).
If the outside temperature is high, let the 
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the 
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the 
heaviest items are as close as possible to the 
axle and the nose weight (at the point where it 
joins your vehicle) approaches the maximum 
permitted without exceeding it.
Tyres
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing 
vehicle and of the trailer , observing the 
recommended pressures.
Lighting
► Check the electrical signalling on the trailer 
and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
If a genuine CITROËN towing device is 
used, the rear parking sensors will be 
deactivated automatically to avoid the audible 
signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill causes the coolant 
temperature to increase. The maximum towable 
load depends on the gradient and the exterior 
temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not 
increase with engine speed.
►
 
Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to 
limit the amount of heating produced.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant 
temperature.
If this warning lamp and the 
STOP warning lamp come 
on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as 
soon as possible.

Driving
Brakes
Braking distances are increased when towing a 
trailer. To avoid overheating the brakes, the use 
of engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more 
susceptible to wind when towing.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The remote control contains an electronic chip 
which has a special code. When the ignition is 
switched on, this code must be recognised in 
order for starting to be possible.
A few seconds after switching off the ignition, 
this system locks the engine control system, 
therefore preventing the engine from being 
started in the event of a break-in.
In the event of a fault, you are informed 
by illumination of this warning lamp, an 
audible signal and a message on the screen.
The vehicle will not start; contact a CITROËN 
dealer as soon as possible.

The warning lamp does not come on if  the engine is already hot.In certain 
climatic conditions, it is advised to follow the 
recommendations below:
–
 
In mild conditions, do not leave the engine 
at idle to warm up but move off straight away 
and drive at moderate speed.
–
 
In wintry conditions, the preheater warning 
lamp will stay on for a longer period after 
switching on the ignition; wait until it goes off 
before starting.
–
 
In  very severe wintry conditions 
(temperature below -23°C), to ensure correct 
operation and durability of the mechanical 
components of the vehicle (engine and 
gearbox), leave the engine running for 
4
 
minutes before starting the vehicle.
Never leave the engine running in an 
enclosed area without adequate ventilation: 
internal combustion engines emit toxic 
exhaust gases, such as carbon monoxide. 
Danger of poisoning and death!
If the engine does not start immediately, 
switch off the ignition.
Wait a few seconds before operating the 
starter motor again. If the engine does not 
start after several attempts, do not keep 
trying: risk of damaging the starter motor and 
the engine.
