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.

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F
I
f the 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
moments by opening the windows.
P

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

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

T
o obtain 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

F
avour the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the air recirculation may cause
misting of the windscreen and the side windows.
F

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

E
nsure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly.
F

T
o ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
it checked regularly.
F

I
f the 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 they are no
longer needed.
During normal charging of the
vehicle, the ventilation, heating and
air
conditioning can be activated from
the ACC position of the switch.
During fast charging of the vehicle, the
ventilation, heating and air conditioning
cannot be activated.

TOTAL & CITROËN
TOTAL and CITROËN personnel combine their
talents to optimise the efficient use of energy and
reduce the impact on the environment.
The partnership between our two groups, which is on
an international scale, does not merely amount to the
supply and maintenance of vehicles to the public: our
positions as industrial leaders allow us to meet the
environmental challenges of today and of tomorrow.
To provide ecologically responsible mobility to
everyone is more than our driving force, it is our
passion.
Innovation is under way, the future of the
automobile depends on it; we will meet the
challenges t o g e t h e r.
