Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2emissions.
Optimise the use of your
gearbox
Use automated mode A
as much as possible
as this optimises gear changes to suit thecircumstances.

Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather than the brake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. These practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions and also helps reduce the
background traffic noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well.


Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it byopening the windows and air vents before using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows and leave the air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment that canhelp keep the temperature in the passenger compartment down (sun roof and windowblinds...). Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic digital regulation, as soon as thedesired temperature is attained. Switch off the demisting and defrostingcontrols, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.


Switch off the headlamps and front foglampswhen the level of light does not require their use.

Avoid running the Diesel engine when stationary, par ticularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, videogame...), you will contribute towards limitingthe consumption of electrical energy, and soof fuel.
Disconnect your por table devices beforeleaving the vehicle.



Control the use of your electrical equipment

Consumption of your hybrid in the screen

Average consumption over the last 5 minutes.
"60 % H
ybrid Use" corresponds to 60 % of the cumulative running time of the electric motor in the various Modes (Auto, ZEV, Sport or 4WD) and 40 % of the time with the Diesel engine only (with no contribution from the hybrid system).


For more information on the trip computer, refer tothe corresponding section.
Resetting the history

With the hybrid system active, when trip 2 displayed, press
the control for 2 seconds to reset the history to zero.

200 V high voltage battery


The 200 V high voltage battery cannot be
recharged from a mains supply.
The battery is Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride)
and is located below the boot floor, close to the electric motor.
Charging
The battery is charged when the vehicle
decelerates, the electric motor then becomes
a generator and conver ts kinetic energy into
electrical energy (except if the speed of the
vehicle is above 70 mph (120 km/h)).
The battery is not recharged from a mains
supply.
The battery may also be charged automatically
when required by the Stop & Start system of
the Diesel engine.
This recover
y allows the use of "free" energy.
The battery charging time is very short and iscontinuous.
A discharged battery (following ZEV running or
high load, for example) will quickly return to astate of charge sufficient for full operation of the
different hybrid modes.
Thecharging takes place automatically
when driving. The energy recovery can be faster during deceleration.
The average state of charge is 4 to 5 bars, so
preserving a margin for energy recovery when
deceleration of going downhill (free energy).
To preser ve the ser vice life of thebattery, the level of charge never falls below 20 %, even if a level of 0 bars is displayed after ZEV running. Where the battery is close to maximum, vehicle deceleration with your foot off the accelerator pedal will be at a lower level.

49Hybrid system

The high voltage battery must not in anycircumstances be charged from an externalsource and must only be handled by a
workshop technician.
There is the risk o
f serious burns, as well as electric arcs that could cause serious injury or
even death.
A used Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) type
high voltage battery must be removed in an
appropriate manner by a repair workshop,so that its recycling presents no risk to the environment.

High voltage


The voltage used for the operation of theelectric motor is in the range 150 to 270 Volts.
Be sure to take account of the warning labels
fitted to the vehicle.
Ta k e great care regarding the high voltage and high temperatures of components carrying thecurrent.
Emergency cut-off
In the event of an accident, a cut-off system
blocks the high voltage current and cuts off
the fuel pump; your vehicle can no longer be started.To restar t the hybrid system, contact aCITROËN dealer.
High voltage cables are routed under the
vehicle
(sills); take care not to damage them
when the vehicle is used for off-road activity(such as covering rough ground).
Be
fore doing any work on
the vehicle, switch off the
ignition (Readylamp off). y

Battery precautions

Hi
gh voltage cables
Take care to position lifting equipment (jack, hoist, ...) at the locations provided to avoid damaging the cables.

Never touch, dismantle, remove or replace the high voltage par ts, orangecables or connectors, even in the eventof an accident.

Monitoring



Rear foglamps

fixed. The rear foglamps are switched on. Turn the ring on the stalk rear wards to switch off the
rear foglamps.
Warning / indicator lampStateCauseAction / Observations



Diesel engine pre-heating fixed. The STA R T/STOP
switch has been pressed (ignition on). Wait until the warning lamp goes off before star ting.
The period of illumination of the warning lamp is
determined by the ambient conditions (up to about
thirty seconds in extreme conditions).
If the engine does not star t, switch the ignition off and
then on, wait until the warning lamp goes off again,
then start the engine.

With the hybrid system active or when the vehicle is being driven, illumination of one of the following warning lamps indicates a fault which requires action on the par t of the driver.
Any fault resulting in the illumination of a warning lamp must be investigated further by reading the associated message in the instrument panel screen.
If you encounter any problems, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
