For more economical driving, and increased rangePractical advice for everyday use to optimise the range of your vehicle by conserving 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.
Stay in the "Eco" zone indicated 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
to recover energy and increase the range of
your
vehicle.
Use the "Charge" zone of the energy
consumption
/ 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 greatly
reduces the range of your vehicle. Remember
to switch them off once the desired level of
comfort is reached and check their settings
every time you set off.
Control also the use of demisting
/ defrosting
and the heated seat.
Limit the causes of excess
consumption
As with any vehicle, limit the loads carried
in the 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 and
follow the schedule for routine servicing
recommended by CITROËN.
