Driving
2.Pressing the control displays the modes on the 
instrument panel.
With an electric motor, when starting the vehicle, 
no mode can be selected until the READY 
indicator lamp is displayed.
When the message disappears, the selected 
mode is activated and remains indicated on the 
instrument panel (except  Normal
  mode).
Whenever the ignition is switched on, 
Normal
  driving mode is selected by default.
Normal
To restore the default settings.
Eco
To reduce energy consumption by reducing the 
performance of the heating and air conditioning, 
without deactivating them.
To reduce consumption of the traction battery's 
electrical energy by limiting engine torque.
Power (Electric)
Allows a fully laden vehicle (GVW) to obtain 
equivalent performance to that of an unladen 
vehicle in Normal mode.
All modes are displayed on the instrument panel, except for  Normal 
mode.
Coasting mode
Depending on version or engine, with an 
EAT8 gearbox and the gear selector in mode 
D, gradually releasing the accelerator pedal 
fully allows free-wheeling which can save fuel.
A drop in engine speed is normal (rev counter 
at idle, drop in engine noise).
Gear shift indicator
(Depending on engine)
This system is designed to reduce fuel 
consumption by recommending the most suitable 
gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and 
the vehicle's equipment, the system may 
recommend skipping one or more gears.
Gear engagement recommendations are 
not to be considered mandatory. Indeed, the 
configuration of the road, the traffic density and 
safety remain determining factors when choosing 
the best gear. Therefore, the driver remains 
responsible for deciding whether or not to follow 
the system’s advice.
The system cannot be deactivated.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is 
only active in manual operation.
The information appears on the  instrument panel, in the form of an “up” or 
“down” arrow and the recommended gear.
The system adapts the gear change  instructions according to the driving 
conditions (e.g.
  slope, load) and driving style 
(e.g.
  power demand, acceleration, braking).
The system never suggests:
–
 
engaging first gear;
–
 
engaging reverse gear
 .
Stop & Start (Petrol or 
Diesel)
The Stop & Start function puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during 
phases when the vehicle is stationary (e.g.
  red 
lights, traffic jams). The engine automatically 
restarts - START mode - as soon as the driver 
indicates the intention of moving off again.
Primarily designed for urban use, the function 
is intended to reduce fuel consumption and 
exhaust emissions as well as the noise level 
when stationary.
The function does not affect the functionalities of 
the vehicle, in particular the braking.
Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the bonnet, 
deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid 
any risk of injury caused by the engine 
restarting automatically.

Before charging
Depending on the context:
►
 
Have a professional check that the 
electrical system to be used complies with 
applicable standards and is compatible with 
the vehicle.
►
 
Have a professional electrician install 
a dedicated domestic power socket or 
accelerated charging unit (W
allbox) 
compatible with the vehicle.
You should preferably use the charging cable 
available as an accessory.
For more information, contact a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
During charging
While charging is in progress, unlocking 
the vehicle will cause the charging to stop.
If no action is taken on one of the openings 
(door or boot) or on the charging nozzle, the 
vehicle will lock again after 30 seconds and 
charging will resume automatically.
Never work under the bonnet:
–
 
Some areas remain very hot, even an hour 
after charging ends - risk of burns!
–
 
The fan may start at any time - risk of cuts 
or strangulation!
After charging
Check that the charging flap is closed.
Do not leave the cable connected to the 
domestic power socket - risk of short-circuit 
or electrocution in the event of contact with or 
immersion in water!
For superfast charging
Before charging
Check that the fast public charging 
station and its charging cable are compatible 
with the vehicle.
If the exterior temperature is below:
–
 
0°C, charging times may be extended.
–
 
-20°C, charging is still possible, but 
charging times may be extended even further 
(the battery has to be heated first).
After charging
Check that the charging flap is closed.
Connection
► Before  charging, check that the drive selector 
is in mode   P, otherwise charging is not possible.
►
 
Open the charging flap by pressing the 
push-button, and check that there are no foreign 
bodies on the charging connector

lamps on the control unit light up, then only the 
POWER
 indicator lamp remains on in green.
►
 
Remove the protective cover from the 
charging nozzle.
►
 
Insert the nozzle into the charging connector
 .
The start of charging is confirmed by the flashing 
green CHARGE indicator lamps in the flap, then 
those on the control unit.
If this is not the case, charging has not 
started; restart the procedure, ensuring that all 
connections are properly established.
The red indicator lamp in the flap comes on to 
indicate that the nozzle is locked.
When charging is complete and while the 
charging cable is still connected, opening
