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 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, etc.).
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly and
follow the schedule for routine servicing
recommended by CITROËN.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
programme (ESP)
Trajectory control systems
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR and ESP systems to regain grip.
F
P
ress this button button, located on
the dashboard (driver's side), until the
corresponding symbol appears in the
instrument panel screen.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem. The display of this symbol indicates
that the ASR and ESP systems are
deactivated.
Reactivation
These systems are not reactivated automatically.
F
P ress this button again to reactivate them
manually.
The symbol going off in the instrument panel
indicates the reactivation of the ASR and ESP
systems.
The anti-slip regulation (also known as Traction
Control) optimises traction to limit wheel spin,
by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels
and on the engine.
The electronic stability programme acts on the
brake of one or more wheels and on the engine
to keep the vehicle on the trajectory required
by the driver, within the limits of the laws of
physics.
This is indicated by flashing of this
symbol in the instrument panel. The ASR /ESP systems should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks
or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the assembly
and repair procedures used by the
CITROËN dealer network.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Operating fault
The display of this message
in the instrument panel
indicates a malfunction of
these systems.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the ASR /ESP systems
checked.
Excessive wheel spin may cause
damage to the differential of
your

vehicle.

Checking componentsUnless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Passenger compartment filter
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of the
replacement intervals for this filter.
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to have
the condition of the brakes checked,
even between vehicle services.
Brake pads
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specifications.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
system, CITROËN selects and offers
very specific products.
Parking brake
If a loss of effectiveness of this
system is noticed, the parking brake
must be checked, even between
two services.
Brake disc / drum wear
For information on checking the
brake disc or drum wear, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
This system must be checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn. Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle
(e.g.

city driving), replace it twice as often
if necessary .
A dirty passenger compartment filter may have
an adverse effect on the per formance of the air
conditioning system and generate undesirable
odours.
