Energy consumption/
generation indicator

Four successive aler ts indicate that the energy
available in the main battery is dropping to a
low level:


- 2 bars of the energy gauge in the
instrument panel, on and flashing:
star ting to use the reser ve.

- The last bar in the energy gauge flashing.

- The last bar disappears:
display of the range disappears; the heating
and air conditioning are switched off.

Low energy alerts


- Display of this warning lamp in
the instrument panel:
Progressive reduction in the
power available from the motor.

For more economical driving, and increased range
Practical advice for everyday use to optimise the range of your vehicle by conser ving battery power.


Adopt a smooth driving
style
The electrical consumption of your vehicle
depends greatly on your journey, your driving
style and your speed.
In all cases, adopt a smooth driving style.

Stay in the "Eco" zone
indicated in the energy
consumption/generation meter: depress the
accelerator pedal progressively, without sudden
movement, and if the conditions permit, drive at
steady and moderate speed.


Recover energy

Anticipating the driving conditions allows you to
recover energy and increase the range of your
vehicle.

Use the "Charge" zone
of the energy
consumption/generation meter whenever
possible: anticipate the traffic slowing
down and if the the conditions permit, use
deceleration rather than the brakes.


Control the use of your
electrical equipment
The heating and air conditioning systems
operate on energy from the main battery.
Excessive use of these systems greatly
reduces the range of your vehicle. Remember
to switch them off once the desired level of
comfor t is reached and check their settings
every time you set off.
Control also the use of demisting/defrosting
and the heated seat.


Limit the causes of excess
consumption
As with any vehicle, limit the loads carried
in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance
(windows open above 30 mph (50 km/h), roof
bars, roof box, …).


Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly and
follow the schedule for routine ser vicing
recommended by CITROËN.

Main battery state of charge indicator


Display

Four successive aler ts indicate that the energy
available in the main battery is dropping to a
low level:


- 2 bars of the state of charge gauge in
the instrument panel, on and flashing:
star ting to use the reser ve.

- The last bar in the state of charge gauge
flashing.

- The last bar disappears: display of the
range disappears; the heating and air
conditioning are switched off.

Low energy alerts


- Display of this warning lamp in
the instrument panel: progressive
reduction in the power available
from the motor.
The state of charge of the main battery is
displayed continuously in the instrument panel.

Energy consumption/generation indicator


Energy consumption

On switching on the ignition, your vehicle
neither consumes nor generates energy in its
electric traction system: the needle is in the
"neutral" position (provided that the heating and
air conditioning are off).


"Eco" zone


A system that informs the driver of the level of energy consumption or generation of the main battery.


"Neutral" position

"Charge" zone

The needle moves to the right in propor tion to
the energy consumption by the vehicle. The needle is in this zone when the vehicle is
used so as to moderate electric consumption
and optimise its range.
The needle moves to the left in propor tion to
the level of charge sent to the main battery,
during period of deceleration and braking.

Monitoring

This function gives an estimate of the number
of miles (km) that your vehicle can still cover,
based on the recent conditions of use (driving
style, use of heating, air conditioning...).






Range indicator

When the remaining range falls to a low level,
"- - -"
is displayed in the instrument panel.

The display of "---"
, indicating that
the ser vice date has arrived, comes on
automatically after a cer tain time and
distance travelled. The screen then
indicates the time remaining before
the next ser vice is due.



Resetting the service indicator to zero

After each ser vice, the ser vice indicator should
be rest to zero.
The procedures is as follows:


)
Switch off the ignition (switch in the LOCK
or ACC position).

)
Press the reset button A
several times in
succession until the ser vice indicator is
displayed.

)
Press and hold the reset button for a few
seconds until the spanner flashes
.

)
Press the reset button while the spanner is
flashing to change the display from "---"
to
"CLEAR"
.
The distance (or time) remaining before
the next ser vice is due is displayed. The range can be displayed in miles or
kilometres.
To change the units, refer to the
"Distance recorder" section.

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:


)
If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been parked in
the sun for a considerable time, first ventilate the passenger compartment for a few
minutes by opening the windows.
Place the air flow control at a sufficient level to provide an adequate renewal of air in
the passenger compar tment.

)
Condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water under
the vehicle when stationary, which is per fectly normal.

)
To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles
located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well
as the air extractor located in the boot.

)
Use in preference the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the air recirculation may
cause misting of the windows and side windows.

)
Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep it
in good working order.

)
Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly (refer to "Checks").

)
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
it checked regularly.

)
If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.











Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning


The heating and air conditioning use
energy from the main battery. Their use
increases electrical consumption and
reduces the range of the vehicle.
Remember to switch off the heating
or air conditioning as soon as it is no
longer needed.
