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 th
e 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.

Operating fault
When the vehicle is stationar
y
The warning lamp comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switchedon (ON position). If it does not go off or does not come on, contact a CITROËNdealer or a qualified workshop. Fixed illumination o
f this warninglamp 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 qualifiedworkshop.
When the vehicle is moving
Illumination of these twowarning lamps indicates a
malfunction of the electronic brake force distributionwhich 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 qualifiedworkshop.
When replacing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that they conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Illumination o
f this warning lampindicates a malfunction of the wheel anti-lock braking system, which could result in a loss of control of thevehicle 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 theresistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency.
When braking in an emergency, press firmly without releasing the pressure.

Practical information
93
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 beaffixed to the vehicle's steering wheel toremind 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 "butterfly" screws. )Insert 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.
