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.

Operating fault
When the vehicle is stationary
The warning lamp comes on for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched
on (ON position). If it does not go off or
does not come on, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop. Fixed illumination of this warning
lamp indicates a malfunction of the
wheel anti-lock braking system which
could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle on braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
When the vehicle is moving
Illumination of these two
warning lamps indicates a
malfunction of the electronic
brake force distribution
which could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle on braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
When replacing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that they conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Illumination of this warning lamp
indicates a malfunction of the wheel
anti-lock braking system, which
could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle when braking.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you
to obtain the optimum braking pressure more
quickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake
pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency.
When braking in an emergency, press
firmly without releasing the pressure.

1.
12 V compressor with integral pressure
gauge, to measure and adjust the tyre
pressure.
Composition of the kit
2.
Sealant car tridge for the temporary repair
of a tyre.
3.
Injection pipe.
4.
Suction pipe, to remove the sealant product
if necessary.
5.
Sachet containing a replacement valve
core, a tool for removing/refitting the valve
core and a speed restriction sticker.
The speed restriction sticker must be
affixed to the vehicle's steering wheel to
remind you that a wheel is in temporary
use.
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h) when driving with a tyre
repaired using this type of kit.
Refi tting the rear seat cushion
)
Put the metal cover back into place.
)
Refit the four "butter fly" screws.
)
Inser t the metal hooks into the seat
backrest.
)
Fold the seat cushion down until it locks
in place.
When refitting the cushion, take care
not to trap the seat belt buckles.

2. Infl ation
)
Check that the compressor switch A
is in
the " OFF
" position.
)
Uncoil the compressor pipe B
.
)
Connect this pipe to the valve of the
repaired wheel.
)
Connect the compressor's electric plug to
the vehicle's 12 V socket (ignition switch in
position "ON" or "ACC").
)
Star t the compressor by turning the
switch A
to the "ON
" position.
)
Using the compressor, adjust the pressure
in accordance with the vehicle's tyre
pressure label (located in the driver's door
aperture).
A loss of pressure indicates that the
puncture has not been fully plugged;
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop for assistance.
)
Remove the compressor and stow the kit.
)
Drive off straight away at reduced speed
(50 mph [80 km/h] max) limiting the
distance travelled to approximately
120 miles (200 km).
As soon as possible, go to a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Tell the technician that you have used
the kit. After checking, the technician
will advise you whether the tyre can be
repaired or must be replaced.
If after around 5 to 7 minutes the
pressure is not attained, this indicates
that the tyre is not repairable; contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop for assistance.

Identifi cation markings
Various visible markings for the identification of your vehicle.
A. Ser vice - Replacement Par ts
identification plate.
This plate is riveted to the underside of
the bonnet. Tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres are cold, at least once
a month.
Low tyre pressures increase the
electrical power consumption of your
vehicle, which reduces its range.
B. Tyre identification label.
This label is affixed to the driver's centre pillar.
It bears the following information:
- the tyre pressures (in bars),
- the tyre specification,
- the type of tyre.
C. Manufacturer's plate
This plate is riveted to the left hand centre
pillar.
D. Vehicle identification number (VIN).
This number is is engraved on the inner wheel
arch, inside the boot, right hand side.
For information on fitting snow chains,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
It bears in par ticular the following information:
- the vehicle model,
- the paint code,
- the type, variant, version.
