Energy consumption / generation indicator
Energy consumption
On switching on the ignition, your vehicle
neither consumes nor generates energy in its
electric traction system: the needle is in the
"neutral" position (provided that the heating and
air conditioning are off).
"Eco" zone
A system that informs the driver of the level of energy consumption or generation of the main battery.
"Neutral" position"Charge" zone
The needle moves to the right in proportion to
the energy consumption by the vehicle.The needle is in this zone when the vehicle is
used so as to moderate electric consumption
and optimise its range.
The needle moves to the left in proportion to
the level of charge sent to the main battery,
during period of deceleration and braking.

Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip which has
a special code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised to permit
starting.
This electronic immobiliser locks the control
system a few moments after the ignition is
switched off and prevents starting by anyone
who does not have the key.
In the event of a malfunction and if your vehicle
does not start, contact a CITROËN dealer as
soon as possible.
Remote control problem
In the event of a remote control malfunction,
you can neither unlock nor lock your vehicle.
F
Fi
rst of all, use the key in the driver's door

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F
If t
he interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been parked in the
sun for a considerable time, first ventilate the passenger compartment for a few minutes
by opening the windows.
Pl

ace the air flow control at a sufficient level to provide an adequate renewal of air in
the passenger compartment.
F
Co

ndensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water under the
vehicle when stationary, which is per fectly normal.
F
To o

btain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles
located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well
as the air extractor located in the boot.
F
Us

e in preference the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the air recirculation may
cause misting of the windows and side windows.
F
Op

erate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep it
in good working order.
F
En

sure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly (refer to "Checks").
F
To e

nsure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
it checked regularly.
F
If t

he system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
The heating and air conditioning use
energy from the main battery. Their use
increases electrical consumption and
reduces the range of the vehicle.
Remember to switch off the heating
or air conditioning as soon as it is no
longer needed.

Courtesy lamp
Position 1 "ON"
The courtesy lamp is permanently on.
Position 2 "●"
The courtesy lamp comes on when opening
a door or the boot; when the door or boot is
closed again, the lighting gradually dims for a
few seconds before going off.
However, the courtesy lamp is switched off
immediately when the doors and boot are
closed and you lock the vehicle from the inside
or using the remote control.
Position 3 "OFF"
The courtesy lamp is permanently off.Before leaving the vehicle, ensure that
the courtesy lamp is not on.
If left on, it discharges the ancillaries
battery, even if the main battery is
charged or on charge.
Starting your vehicle will then no longer
be possible.

The under-inflation alert is only reliable
if the system has been reinitialised
with the four tyre pressures correctly
adjusted.Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop
t

o have the system checked
or, following the repair of a puncture, to
have the original wheel, equipped with a
sensor, refitted.
The reinitialisation instruction is entered in
the instrument panel screen screen, with the
ignition on and the vehicle stationary.
F
Pr

ess button A select the function
F
Pr

ess and hold button A for at least
3
s
econds
to reinitialise the under-inflation
detection system.
Reinitialisation of the system is confirmed
by the flashing of the warning lamp in the
instrument panel.
You then have to drive about 100 metres before
the warning lamp goes off.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination
of the under-inflation warning lamp
indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.
This alert is also displayed if:
-
on

e or more wheels is not fitted with a
sensor,
-
a wi

reless device operating on the same
frequency is close to the vehicle,
-
th

ere are accumulations of snow or ice in
the wings or wheels,
-
th

e state of charge of the tyre pressure
monitoring system battery is too low,
-
th

e wheel sensor identifiers have not been
memorised in the system by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop. Any tyre repair or replacement on a
wheel fitted with this system must be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If you fit the second set of tyres
memorised in the system, a fault will
be signalled until the second set is
selected in the configuration menu.

Charging the main battery
F Pull lever 1, l ocated at the bottom of the
dashboard, driver's side, to open the
access flap for the normal charging socket
(right hand side of the vehicle).
Normal charging
Before connecting, check that the
electrical installation you want to use
meets standards* and is compatible
with a current rating of 8A.
In particular, check that the electric
power point is of suitable quality.
There are sockets available that are
specially designed for charging electric
vehicles.
In all cases, it is recommended that
that you first have an initial check
and then regular checks on your
installation by a qualified electrician.
There are two types of charging you can use:
normal or fast.
Normal charging should be used in preference;
it is done from a domestic mains power point.
Fast charging is done at a compatible fast
charging station.
F
Ap
ply the parking brake and put the drive
selector in position P .
F
Sw

itch off all electrical consumers and turn
the ignition switch to the "LOCK" position. You must always use only a genuine
CITROËN charging cable.
If the ambient temperature is lower
than
-

25° C, charging may not be
possible. F
Ta

ke the charging cable from the storage
bag provided. This cable has a control unit.
F
Co

nnect the charging cable to a compatible
standard power socket. On connecting
the cable, the three POWER , FA U LT and
CHARGING lamps all come on temporarily,
then only green POWER lamp stays on.
do no

t use an electrical
extension, multi-gang
socket, adaptor or timer.
* For example, in France the standard is NF C 15 -100.
In the event of damage to or
deterioration of the charging cable or
control unit, do not use it. Contact a
CITROËN dealer if in doubt or for a
replacement.
In most European countries, CITROËN
has established a partnership with a
specialist company that can check and
bring your electrical installation up to
standard. For more information, contact
a CITROËN dealer.
