Before making any connection, checkthat the power point you want to use meets standards *
and is compatiblewith the current rating on the control unit of the charging cable.In all cases, it is recommended that you first have an initial check and then regular checks on your
installation by a qualified electrician.


Ensure that the charging station and its cable are compatible with your vehicle.

You must always use a genuineCITROËN charging cable.

Do not use an electricalextension lead, multi-wayconnector, adaptor or timer.
*(For example, in France: the standard is NF C 15 -10 0).

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.
