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.
Sta
y in the "Eco" zoneindicated 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 torecover energy and increase the range of your
vehicle.
Use the "Charge" zoneof the energyconsumption/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 greatlyreduces 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/defrostingand 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 andfollow the schedule for routine ser vicing
recommended by CITROËN.

Main battery state of charge indicator
Display

Four successive aler ts indicate that the energyavailable in the main battery is dropping to alow level:


- 2 bars of the state of charge gauge in the
instrument panel, on and flashing: star tingto use the reserve.

- 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 availablefrom the motor.
The state of char
ge of the main battery is displayed continuously in the instrument panel.

Energy consumption/generation indicator
Energy consumption
On switching on the ignition, your vehicleneither consumes nor generates energy in itselectric 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

"Char
ge" 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 ran
ge.
The needle moves to the le
ft in propor tion to
the level of charge sent to the main battery,
during period of deceleration and braking.

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 theservice date has arrived, comes on automatically after a cer tain time and distance travelled. The screen then indicates the time remaining before the next service is due.

Resetting the service indicator to zero
After each ser vice, the ser vice indicator shouldbe 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 service indicator is
displayed. )Press and hold the reset button for a fewseconds 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 thenext ser vice is due is displayed.

The range can be displayed in miles or kilometres.
To c h a nge the units, refer to the"Distance recorder" section.

Heating and Ventilation

The air circulating in the passenger compartment
is filtered and originates either from the outside
via the grille located at the base of the windscreen or from the inside in air recirculation mode.
System which creates and maintains goodconditions of comfor t and visibility in the
vehicle's passenger compartment.
The heating and ventilation can be used assoon as the "Ready" lamp is on.


Controls

The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected.
The temperature control enables you to obtain
the level of comfor t required by mixing the air of
the various circuits.
The air distribution control enables you toselect the air vents used in the passenger compartment.
The air flow control enables you to increase or
reduce the speed of the ventilation fan.
These controls are
grouped together on controlpanel Aon the centre console.
Air distribution
1.Windscreen demisting/defrosting vents.
2. Front side window demisting/defrosting
vents. 3. Side adjustable air vents.
4.Central adjustable air vents.
5.Air outlets to the front footwells.
