CHANGING A BULB


The headlamps are fi tted with
polycarbonate glass with a pro-
tective coating:



do not clean them using a
dry or abrasive cloth, nor
with a detergent or solvent
product,



use a sponge and soapy wa-
ter or a pH neutral product,


when using a high pressure
washer on persistent marks,
do not keep the lance direct-
ed towards the lamps or their
edges for too long, so as not
to damage their protective
coating and seals.
Changing a bulb should only be
done after the headlamp has
been switched off for a few min-
utes (risk of serious burns).



Do not touch the bulb directly
with your fi ngers, use a lint-
free cloth.
It is imperative to use only anti-
ultraviolet (UV) type bulbs to
avoid damaging the headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with
a new bulb with the same type
and specifi cation.

be replaced by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

LOAD REDUCTION MODE

System which manages the use of cer-
tain functions according to the level of
charge remaining in the battery.

When the vehicle is being driven, the
load reduction function temporarily de-
activates certain functions, such as the
air conditioning, the heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivat-
ed automatically as soon as conditions
permit.








ENERGY ECONOMY MODE

System which manages the period of
use of certain functions to conserve a
suffi cient level of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio
equipment, windscreen wipers, dipped
beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc.
for a maximum combined period of thirty
minutes.

Switching to economy mode

Once this period has elapsed, a message
appears in the screen indicating that the
vehicle has switched to economy mode
and the active functions are put on standby.
If the telephone is being used at
the same time on the navigation
system, it will be interrupted after
10 minutes.
A fl at battery prevents the en-
gine from starting (refer to the
corresponding paragraph).


Exiting economy mode

These functions are reactivated auto-
matically the next time the vehicle is
driven.



In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, start the engine
and let it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be
double the period for which the engine
is left running. However, this period will
always be between fi ve and thirty minutes.

This period may be greatly re-
duced if the battery is not fully
charged.
