Warning lamps
When the engine is running or the vehicle is being driven, illumination of one of the following warning lamps indicates a fault which requires action on the   part   of   the   driver.
Any
  fault   resulting   in   the   illumination   of   a   warning   lamp   must   be   investigated   further   using   the   associated   message.
If
  you   encounter   any   problems,   contact   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
U se   only   the   chains   designed   to   be   fitted   to   the  
t
ype   of   wheel   fitted   to   your   vehicle:

For more information on snow chains, contact a CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
Advice on installation
F If  you   have   to   fit   the   chains   during   a  j
ourney,   stop   the   vehicle   on   a   flat   sur face  
o
n   the   side   of   the   road.
F
 
A
 pply   the   parking   brake   and   position   any  
w
heel   chocks   to   prevent   movement   of   your  
v
ehicle.
F
 
F
 it   the   chains   following   the   instructions  
p
rovided   by   the   manufacturer.
F
 
M
 ove   off   gently   and   drive   for   a   few  
m
oments,   without   exceeding   30   mph    
(50
  km/h).
F
 
S
 top   your   vehicle   and   check   that   the   snow  
c
hains   are   correctly   tightened.
Take
 
account
 
of
 
the
 
legislation
 
in
 
force
 
i
n your country on the use of snow 
chains
 
and
 
the
 
maximum
 
running
 
speed
 
a
uthorised.
The
 
snow
 
chains
 
must
 
be
 
fitted
 
only
 t
o
 
the
 
front
 
wheels.
 
They
 
must
 
never
 b
e fitted to "space-saver" type spare 
wheels.
Avoid
  driving   with   snow   chains   on   roads  
t
hat have been cleared of snow, to 
avoid
  damaging   your   vehicle's   tyres   and  
t
he   road   sur face.   If   your   vehicle   is   fitted  
w
ith   alloy   wheels,   check   that   no   part   of  
t
he   chain   or   its   fixings   is   in   contact   with  
t
he   wheel   rim.
It
 
is
 
strongly
 
recommended
 
that
 
before
 
y
ou
 
leave,
 
you
 
practise
 
fitting
 
the
 
snow
 
c
hains
 
on
 
a
 
level
 
and
 
dry

Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain functions   according   to   the   level   of   charge  
r
emaining   in   the   battery.
When
  the   vehicle   is   being   driven,   the   load  
r
eduction   function   temporarily   deactivates  
c
ertain   functions,   such   as   the   air   conditioning,  
t
he   heated   rear   screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivated 
automatically
  as   soon   as   conditions   permit.System
  which   manages   the   duration   of   use   of  c
ertain functions to conserve a sufficient level 
of
  charge   in   the   battery.
After
  the   engine   has   stopped,   you   can  
s
till use functions such as the audio and 
telematics
  system, windscreen   wipers,   dipped  
b
eam   headlamps, courtesy   lamps,   etc.   for  
a
  maximum   combined   duration   of   about  
f
orty minutes.
Energy economy mode
Switching to economy mode
A message then appears in the instrument p
anel   screen   indicating   that   the   vehicle   has  
s
witched   to   economy   mode   and   the   active  
f
unctions   are   put   on   standby.
If
  a   telephone   call   is   being   made   at   this   time,   it  
w
ill   be   maintained   for   around   10   minutes   with  
t
he   Bluetooth   hands-free   system   of   your   audio  
s
ystem.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically n ext   time   the   vehicle   is   driven.
In order to restore the use of these functions 
immediately,
  start   the   engine   and   let   it   run:
-
 
f
 or   less   than   ten   minutes,   to   use   the  
e
quipment   for   approximately   five   minutes,
-
 
f
 or   more   than   ten   minutes,   to   use   the  
e
quipment   for   up   to   approximately  
t
hirty minutes.
Let
  the   engine   run   for   the   duration   specified   to  
e
nsure   that   the   battery   charge   is   sufficient.
Do not repeatedly and continuously restart the 
engine
  in   order   to   charge   the   battery.
A
  flat   battery   prevents   the   engine   from  
s
tarting.
