indicator lamps). Certain lamps light up in two
ways (fixed or flashing) and/or in several colours.
Associated warnings
The illumination of a lamp may be accompanied
by an audible signal and/or a message displayed
in a screen.
Relating the type of alert to the operating status
of the vehicle allows you to determine whether
the situation is normal or whether a fault has
occurred: refer to the description of each lamp
for further information.
When the ignition is switched on
Certain red or orange warning lamps come on
for a few seconds when the ignition is switched
on. These warning lamps should go off as soon
as the engine is started.
For more information on a system or a function,
refer to the corresponding section.

fuel remaining in the tank (based on the
average fuel consumption over the last few miles
(kilometres) travelled).
This value may vary following a change in driving
style or terrain, leading to a significant change in
current fuel consumption.
When the range falls below 19 miles (30
km),
dashes are displayed.
After filling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range
is recalculated and is displayed if it exceeds 62
miles (100
km).
If dashes instead of figures continue to be
displayed while driving, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Deferred charging
By default, charging begins when the nozzle is
connected.
Deferred charging may be programmed via the
touch screen.
Deferred charging is then activated by a button
located in the charging flap.
You can also programme the deferred charging function using a smartphone, via
the MyCitroën application.
For more information on Charging the traction
battery (Rechargeable hybrid), refer to the
corresponding section.
eSave
The eSave function makes it possible to reserve
all or part of the electrical energy in the traction
battery for later use during a journey (e.g. driving
in an urban area or in an area reserved for
electric vehicles).
►

Select the electric range to be reserved ( 10
km

, 20 km or the full range MAX) then activate
the function by pressing ON.
Activation of the function is confirmed by
the lighting of this indicator lamp on the
instrument panel and the
indication of the energy
reserve in miles or kms.
►

T

o use the energy reserve, choose the
Electric driving mode in the mode selector.
If the requested range exceeds the
available range (not recommended), the
internal combustion engine starts to recharge
the traction battery up to the requested
threshold. This leads to excessive fuel
consumption.
