Data processing
All processing of personal data by
the eCall (SOS) function complies with
the framework for protection of personal
information established by Regulation
2016/679 (General Data Protection
Regulation - GDPR) and Directive 2002/58/
EC of the European Parliament and the
Council, and in particular, seeks to protect
the vital interests of the data subject, in
accordance with Article 6 (1) d) GDPR.
The processing of personal data is strictly
limited to the purpose of handling the eCall
(SOS) function used with the “112” single
European emergency call number.
* Depending on the geographic coverage of the "eCall (SOS)" and "ASSISTANCE" systems and the official national language chosen by the owner of the
vehicle.
The list of countries covered and the telematic services provided is ava\
ilable from dealers or on the website for your country.
The eCall (SOS) function is only able to
collect and process the following data
relating to the vehicle: vehicle identification
number, vehicle type (passenger vehicle or
light commercial vehicle), fuel type or power
source, three most recent locations and
direction of travel, number of passengers
and a timestamped log file of the automatic
activation of the system and its timestamp.
The recipients of the processed data are the
emergency call handling centres designated
by the relevant national authorities in the
territory in which they are located, enabling
priority routing and handling of calls to the
“112” emergency number.
Data storage
Data contained in the system’s memory
is not accessible from outside the system until
a call is made. The system is not traceable
and is not continuously monitored in its
normal operating mode.
The data in the system's internal memory is
automatically and continuously erased. Only
the vehicle’s three most recent locations,
necessary for the normal functioning of the
system, are stored.
When an emergency call is triggered, the data
log is stored for no more than 13 hours.
Access to data
You have the right of access to data and
as appropriate to request the rectification,
erasure or restriction of processing of any
personal data not processed in accordance
with the provisions of GDPR. Third parties
to which data has been disclosed shall
be notified of any rectification, erasure or
restriction carried out in compliance with
GDPR, unless it proves impossible or
involves a disproportionate effort.

Practical information
continue to use functions such as the audio and
telematics system, dipped beam headlamps or
courtesy lamps.
Selecting the mode
A confirmation message is displayed when
energy economy mode is entered, and the active
functions are placed on standby.
If a telephone call is in progress at the
time, it will be maintained for around 10
minutes via the audio system’s hands-free
system.
Exiting the mode
These functions are automatically reactivated the
next time the vehicle is used.
To restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
–

For less than 10 minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately 5 minutes.
–


For more than 10 minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately 30 minutes.
Let the engine run for the specified duration to
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
T

o recharge the battery, avoid repeatedly or
continuously restarting the engine.
A flat battery prevents the engine from starting.
For more information on the 12
V battery/
Accessories battery /, refer to the
corresponding section.
Load reduction mode
This system manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates certain
functions, such as the air conditioning and the
heated rear screen.
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
Bonnet
Stop & Start
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
you must switch off the ignition to avoid any
risk of injury resulting from an automatic
change to START mode.
Electric motor
Take care with objects or clothing that
could be caught in the blades of the cooling
fan or in certain moving components - risk of
strangulation and serious injury!
Before carrying out any work under the
bonnet, you must switch off the ignition, check
that the READY indicator lamp is off on the
instrument panel and disconnect the charging
nozzle if it is plugged in.
The location of the interior bonnet release lever prevents the bonnet being
opened when the left-hand front door is
closed.
When the engine is hot, handle the
exterior safety catch and the bonnet stay
with care (risk of burns), using the protected
area.
When the bonnet is open, take care not to
damage the safety catch.
Do not open the bonnet under very windy
conditions.
Cooling of the engine when stopped
The engine cooling fan may start after
the engine has been switched off.
Take care with objects or clothing that
could be caught in the blades of the fan!
Opening
► Open the left-hand front door.

► Pull the interior release lever , located at the
bottom of the door frame, towards you.


► Lift the exterior safety catch and raise the
bonnet.
►

Unclip the stay from its housing and place it
in the support slot to hold the bonnet open.
Closing
► Hold the bonnet and pull out the stay from the
support slot.
►

Clip the stay in its housing.
► Lower the bonnet and release it near the end
of its travel.
►

Pull on the bonnet to check that it is locked
correctly

.
Because of the presence of electrical
equipment under the bonnet, it is strongly
recommended that exposure to water (rain,
washing, etc.) be limited.

Checking levels
Check all of the following levels regularly in
accordance with the manufacturer's service
schedule. Top them up if required, unless
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The fluids must comply with the manufacturer's requirements and with
the vehicle's engine.
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine
may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the
cooling fan could start at any time (even with
the ignition off).
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers reserved
for this purpose at a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Engine oil
The level is checked, with the engine having been switched off for at least 30
minutes and on level ground, either using the oil
level indicator in the instrument panel when the
ignition is switched on (for vehicles equipped
with an electric gauge), or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two
services (or oil changes). It is recommended
that you check the level, and top up if necessary,
every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emissions control system,
never use additives in the engine oil.
Checking using the dipstick
For the location of the dipstick, please refer
to the illustration of the corresponding engine
compartment.
►

Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and
pull it out completely

.
►

Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean,
lint-free cloth.


► Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down,
then pull it out again to visually check the oil
level: the correct level is between marks A
(max)
and B (min).
Do not start the engine if the level is:
–

above mark
A: contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
–

below mark B

: top up the engine oil
immediately.
