For more economical driving, and increased rangePractical advice for everyday use to optimise the range of your vehicle by conserving 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 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
comfort 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, etc.).
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly and
follow the schedule for routine servicing
recommended by CITROËN.

Main battery state of charge indicator
Display
Four successive alerts indicate that the energy
available in the main battery is dropping to a
low level:
-
2 b
ars of the state of charge gauge in the
instrument panel, on and flashing: starting
to use the reserve.
-

T
he last bar in the state of charge gauge
flashing.
-

T
he 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 proportion 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 proportion to
the level of charge sent to the main battery,
during periods of deceleration and braking.
In cold weather, the capacity for
regeneration via braking is reduced.
Instruments

24
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 range can be displayed in miles or
kilometres.
To change the units, refer to the
"Distance recorder" section.
Under-inflation detection
Selecting the set of wheels and
tyres fitted
If you have previous registered a second set
of wheels and tyres with sensor, you have to
select the corresponding set in the instrument
panel screen after fitting them.
Carry out the following procedure to do this.

10


seconds , to change from set of tyres
and wheels 1 to set 2 or the other way
round.
You have to reinitialise the under-inflation
detection system after adjusting one or more
tyre pressures or after changing one or more
wheels.
Carry out the following procedure to do this.

Head restraint height adjustment
F To raise it, pull upwards.
F T o lower it, push it downwards, pressing
the height adjustment button at the same
time.
F

T
o remove it, raise it to the high position,
then remove it pressing the height
adjustment button at the same time.
F

T
o refit it, engage the rods of the head
restraint in the apertures, pressing the
height adjustment button at the same time. Never drive with the removed head
restraints in the vehicle as they could
be thrown around the vehicle on sharp
braking. They must always be in place
and adjusted correctly.
After installing the head restraint, check
that the height adjustment button has
engaged correctly.
The adjustment is correct when the top
of the head restraint is aligned with the
top of the head of the seated person.Press the control switch, located on the
dashboard, to switch on the driver's seat
heating.
The warning lamp in the switch comes on.
The temperature is controlled automatically.
Pressing a second time stops operation.

Rear seats
Rear head restraints
These have a high position (comfort and best
safety) and a low position (best rear vision for
the driver).
They can also be removed.
To remove a head restraint:
F
p
ull the head restraint fully upwards,
F

t
hen, press the lug.When carrying rear passengers, never
drive with their head restraints removed;
ensure that they are in place and in the
high position.
Do not use the function if the seat is not
occupied.
Reduce the level of heating as soon as
possible.
Once the seat and passenger compartment
are at a comfortable temperature, you can
switch off the function; reducing electric
current consumption also reduces fuel
consumption.
Prolonged use at the highest setting is not
recommended for those with sensitive skin.
There is a risk of burns for those that do
not have normal perception of heat (illness,
taking medicines, etc.).
There is a risk of overheating the system if
material with insulating properties is used,
such as cushions or seat covers.
Do not use the system:
-

i

f wearing damp clothing,
-

i

f child seats are fitted.
To avoid breaking the heating element in
the seat:
-

d

o not place heavy objects on the seat,
-

d

o not kneel or stand on the seat,
-

d

o not place sharp objects on the seat,
-
d
o not spill liquids onto the seat.
To avoid the risk of short-circuit:
-

d

o not use liquid products for cleaning
the seat,
-

n

ever use the heating function when
the seat is damp. Rear seat comprising two adjustable, foldable
backrests and a fixed cushion.

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F
I
f 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
moments by opening the windows.
P

lace the air flow control at a sufficient level to provide an adequate renewal of air in
the passenger compartment.
F

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

T
o 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.
F

F
avour the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the air recirculation may cause
misting of the windscreen and the side windows.
F

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

E
nsure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly.
F

T
o ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
it checked regularly.
F

I
f 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 they are no
longer needed.
During normal charging of the
vehicle, the ventilation, heating and
air
conditioning can be activated from
the ACC position of the switch.
During fast charging of the vehicle, the
ventilation, heating and air conditioning
cannot be activated.
