Driving
Noise (Electric)
On the outside
Due to the vehicle’s quiet operation when 
driving, the driver must pay particular attention.
When manoeuvring, the driver must always 
check the vehicle's immediate surroundings.
At speeds of up to 19 mph (30 km/h), the 
pedestrian horn warns other road users of the 
vehicle’s presence.
Cooling the traction battery
The cooling fan comes on during 
charging to cool the on-board charger and the 
traction battery.
On the inside
During use, you may hear certain perfectly 
normal noises specific to electric vehicles, such 
as:
–
 
T
 raction battery relay when starting.
–
 
V
 acuum pump when braking.
–
 
V
 ehicle tyres or aerodynamics when driving.
–
 
Jolting and knocking noise during hill starts.
Towing
Driving with a trailer places greater 
demands on the towing vehicle and 
particular care must be taken.
Do not exceed the maximum towable 
weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by 
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the lower 
air density at high altitudes decreases engine 
performance.
New vehicle: do not tow a trailer until the 
vehicle has driven at least 620 miles 
(1,000 kilometres).
If the outside temperature is high, let the 
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the 
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the 
heaviest items are as close as possible to the 
axle and the nose weight (at the point where it 
joins your vehicle) approaches the maximum 
permitted without exceeding it.
Tyres
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing 
vehicle and of the trailer , observing the 
recommended pressures.
Lighting
► Check the electrical signalling on the trailer 
and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
If a genuine CITROËN towing device is 
used, the rear parking sensors will be 
deactivated automatically to avoid the audible 
signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill causes the coolant 
temperature to increase. The maximum towable 
load depends on the gradient and the exterior 
temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not 
increase with engine speed.
►
 
Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to 
limit the amount of heating produced.
►
 
Pay constant attention to the coolant 
temperature.
If this warning lamp and the STOP 
warning lamp come on, stop the 
vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as 
possible.
Brakes
Using the engine brake is recommended to limit 
the overheating of the brakes. Braking distances 
are increased when towing a trailer.
Side wind
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more 
susceptible to wind when towing.

Practical information
7Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap 
and top up to the required level.
Vehicle with electric motorDo not top up the coolant. 
If the level is close to or below 
the  "MIN"   mark, it is essential to contact a 
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Screenwash fluid
Top up to the required level when  necessary.
Capacity of the tank:
–
 
5.3 litres for "very cold climate" versions.
–
 
2.2 litres for other versions.
Fluid specification
The fluid must be topped up with a pre-mixed 
product.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a fluid 
containing an anti-freeze agent which is 
appropriate for the temperature conditions 
must be used in order to protect the system's 
components (pump, tank, ducts, jets).
Filling with pure water is prohibited in all 
circumstances (risk of freezing, 
limescale, etc.).
Diesel fuel additive (Diesel 
with particle filter)
On reaching the minimum level in 
the particle filter additive tank, one 
of these warning lamps comes on fixed, 
accompanied by an audible signal and a warning 
message.
Topping up
The topping up of this additive must be carried 
out quickly.
Visit a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
An alert is triggered when the reserve level is 
reached.
For more information on the  Indicators and in 
particular the AdBlue range indicators, refer to 
the corresponding section.
To avoid the vehicle being immobilised in 
accordance with regulations, you must top up the 
AdBlue tank.
For more information on  AdBlue
® (BlueHDi), 
and in particular the supply of AdBlue, refer to 
the corresponding section.
Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these 
components in accordance with the 
manufacturer's service schedule and according 
to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by 
CITROËN or products of equivalent 
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of 
components as important as those in the 
braking system, CITROËN selects and offers 
very specific products.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any  maintenance.
Check regularly that the terminals are correctly 
tightened (versions without quick-release 
terminals) and that the connections are clean.
For more information on the precautions 
to take before any work on the 12   V 
battery, refer to the corresponding section.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are 
fitted with a 12   V lead-acid battery with 
special technology and specifications.
Its replacement should be carried out only by 
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.   

215
In the event of a breakdown
8circumstances be discarded with household 
waste.
Dispose of used batteries at a designated 
collection point.
Protect your eyes and face before 
handling the battery.
All operations on the battery must be carried 
out in a well ventilated area and away from 
naked flames and sources of sparks, to avoid 
any risk of explosion or fire.
Wash your hands afterwards.
Electric motor
Flat accessory battery
It is no longer possible to start the motor 
or recharge the traction battery.
Precautions before working on the 
accessory battery
Select mode
  P, switch off the ignition, check 
that the instrument panel is off and that the 
vehicle is not being charged.
Jump-starting another vehicle
Do not use the accessory battery to 
jump-start another vehicle or to charge 
another vehicle's battery.
Symbols
No sparks or naked flames, no smoking.  
Always protect your eyes. Explosive  gases can cause blindness and injury.
Keep the vehicle's battery out of the reach 
of children.
The vehicle's battery contains sulphuric acid which can make you go blind or 
cause severe burns.
For more information, refer to the 
handbook.
Explosive gases can be present close to 
the battery.
Access to the battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.
►  Open the bonnet using the interior release 
lever
, then the exterior safety catch.
►
 
Secure the bonnet stay
 .
 
 
The battery (-) terminal is not accessible.
There is a remote earth point near the battery.
For more information on the  Bonnet and 
the Engine , refer to the corresponding 
sections.
Starting using another 
battery
If the vehicle's battery is flat, the engine can be 
started using a backup battery (either external or 
from another vehicle) and jump leads or using a 
battery booster.
Never start the engine by connecting a 
battery charger.
Never use a 24
  V or higher battery booster.
Check beforehand that the backup battery 
has a nominal voltage of 12
  V and a capacity 
at least equal to that of the discharged 
battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact with 
each other.
Switch off all electricity-consuming equipment 
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers, 
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are well away 
from the engine’s moving parts (fan, belt, 
etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while the 
engine is running.
