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.

Safety
79
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object...). This could hamper the operation of
the airbags or injure the occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
obser ved, a risk of injury or of minor burns
to the head, chest or arms when an airbag is
deployed cannot be ruled out.
The bag inflates almost instantly (within
a few milliseconds) then deflates within
the same time discharging the hot gas via
openings provided for this purpose.


Lateral airbags

Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact a CITROËN dealer (see "Practical
information - § Accessories").
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs (clothing...). This could cause injury
to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is
deployed.
Do not sit with the upper par t of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.


Front airbags

Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its
spokes or resting your hands on the centre
part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
If possible, do not smoke as deployment of
the airbags can cause burns or the risk of
injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or
hit it violently.



Curtain airbags

Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This
could cause injury to the head if the cur tain
airbag is deployed.
If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the
grab handles installed on the roof, they play
a par t in securing the cur tain airbags.















For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:
