For a recharge to be complete
,
follow the procedure for a normal
recharge
(domestic power point)
without interruption, until it switches off
automatically (charging lamp goes off in
the instrument panel).
Before making any connection, check
that the power point you want to use
meets standards and is compatible
with the current rating on the control
unit of the charging cable. In all cases,
it is recommended that you first have
your installation checked by a qualified
electrician.
Ensure that the charging station and its
cable are compatible with your vehicle.
You must always use a genuine
CITROËN charging cable.
Do not use an electrical
extension lead, multi-way

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.
