Indicators
Service indicator
The servicing information is expressed in terms
of distance (miles or kilometres) and time
(months or days).
The alert is given at whichever of these two
terms is reached first.
The servicing information is displayed in the
instrument panel. Depending on the version of
the vehicle:
–
The distance recorder display line indicates
the distance remaining before the next service
is due, or the distance travelled since it was due
preceded by the "-" sign.
–
An alert message indicates the distance
remaining, as well as the period before the next
service is due or how long it is overdue.
The value indicated is calculated according to the distance covered and
the time elapsed since the last service.
The alert may also be triggered close to a
due date.
Service spannerOn temporarily when the ignition is
switched on.
Between 620 and 1,860 miles (1,000 and 3,000
km) remain before the next service is due.
Fixed, when the ignition is switched on.
The next service is due in less than 620
miles (1,000 km).

Access
2
► Keep this button 1 pulled across to remove
the key 2 from the device.
If the alarm is activated, the audible
signal triggered on opening a door with
the key (integral with the remote control) will
stop when the ignition is switched on.
Once the built-in key is ejected, always
keep it with you to be able to carry out
the corresponding back-up procedures.
"Keyless Entry and Start" on your
person
It allows the unlocking, locking and starting of the
vehicle, while carrying the remote control on your
person in the recognition zone " A".
In the ignition on (accessories) position,
with the "START/STOP" button, the
hands-free function is deactivated and it is
impossible to open the doors.
For more information on Starting/switching
off the engine and in particular the "ignition
on" position, refer to the corresponding
section.
Locating the vehicle
This function helps you to spot your vehicle from
a distance, with the vehicle locked:
–
The direction indicators flash for approximately
10 seconds.
–
The courtesy lamps come on.
► Press this button.
Remote operation of lighting
A short press on this button switches on
the lighting remotely (lighting of
sidelamps, dipped beam headlamps and number
plate lamps).
A second press on the button before the end of
the timed period cancels the remote lighting.
Advice
Remote control
The remote control is a sensitive, high-
frequency device; avoid handling it in your
pocket, due to the risk of unintentionally
unlocking the vehicle.
Avoid pressing the remote control buttons
while out of range of the vehicle, due to
the risk of rendering the remote control
inoperative. It would then be necessary to
reset it.
The remote control does not work
when the
key is in the ignition switch, even when the
ignition is switched off.
Anti-theft protection
Do not modify the electronic vehicle
immobiliser, as this might result in
malfunctions.
For vehicles with a key ignition switch,
remember to remove the key and turn the
steering wheel to engage the steering lock.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked could make
it more difficult for the emergency services
to enter the passenger compartment in an
emergency.
As a safety precaution, remove the key from
the ignition or take the electronic key with you
when leaving the vehicle, even for a short
time.

Lighting and visibility
You can activate/deactivate this function and adjust the guide-me-
home lighting duration in the Driving/Vehicle
touch screen menu.
Manual
► With the ignition off, pull the lighting control
stalk toward you ("headlamp flash") to activate/
deactivate the function.
Manual guide-me-home lighting goes off
automatically after a period of time.
Welcome lighting
With the "Automatic headlamp illumination"
function activated, in poor light, the sidelamps
and dipped beam headlamps come on
automatically when the vehicle is unlocked.
Activation, deactivation and the duration of the exterior welcome
lighting are set in the Driving/Vehicle touch
screen menu.
Automatic lighting systems - General
recommendations
The automatic lighting systems use a detection
camera, located at the top of the windscreen.
Operating limits
The system may be disrupted or not work
correctly:
–
When visibility conditions are poor
(e.g.
snowfall, heavy rain).
–
If the windscreen is dirty
, misted-up or
masked (e.g.
sticker) in front of the camera.
–
If the vehicle is facing highly reflective signs
or safety barrier reflectors.
The system is not able to detect:
–
Road users that do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians.
–
V
ehicles with hidden lighting (e.g. travelling
behind a safety barrier on the motorway).
–
V
ehicles at the top or bottom of a steep
slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.
Maintenance
Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the camera.
The internal surface of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
obstruct the camera.
Automatic headlamp dipping
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations for
automatic lighting systems.
With the ring of the lighting control stalk
in the
"AUTO" position and the function activated on
the touch screen, this system automatically
switches between dipped and main beam
headlamps, according to lighting and traffic
conditions, using a camera located at the top of
the windscreen.
87
Lighting and visibility
4This system is a driving aid.The driver remains responsible for
the vehicle's lighting, its correct use in the
prevailing light, visibility and traffic conditions,
and for compliance with driving and vehicle
regulations.
The system becomes operational when the vehicle exceeds 16 mph (25 km/h).
When the speed falls below 9 mph (15 km/h),
the function is no longer operational.
Activation/Deactivation
The settings are changed via the Driving/Vehicle touch screen
menu.
When deactivated, the lighting system changes
to "automatic illumination of headlamps" mode.
The state of the system is stored when the
ignition is switched off.
Operation
If the ambient light level is very low and traffic
conditions permit:
– The main beam headla mps
come on automatically. These
indicator lamps light up on the instrument panel.
If the ambient light level is sufficient and/or the
traffic conditions do not allow the main beam
headlamps to be lit:
– The dipped beam head lamps
remain lit. These indicator lamps
light up on the instrument panel.
The function is deactivated if the foglamps
are switched on or if the system detects poor
visibility conditions (e.g.
fog, heavy rain,
snowfall).
When the foglamps are switched off or when the
visibility conditions become favourable again, the
function is automatically reactivated.
This indicator lamp goes out when the function is deactivated.
Pause
If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
► A "headlamp flash" pauses the
function and the lighting system switches
to "automatic illumination of lamps" mode:
–
If the "AUT
O" and "Dipped beam" indicator
lamps were on, the system changes to main
beam.
–
If the "AUT
O" and "Main beam"
indicator
lamps were on, the system changes to
dipped beam.
►
T
o reactivate the function, once again switch
the headlamps manually between dipped and
main beam.
The system may be disrupted or not work correctly:
–
When visibility conditions are poor
(snowfall, heavy rain, etc.).
– If the windscreen in front of the camera is
dirty , misted or obscured (for example, by a
sticker).
–
If the vehicle is facing highly reflective
signs.
When the system detects thick fog, it
temporarily deactivates the function.
The system is not able to detect:
–
Road users that do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians.
–
V
ehicles whose lighting is obscured (for
example, vehicles driving behind a safety
barrier on a motorway).
–
V
ehicles at the top or bottom of a steep
slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.
Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the
camera.
The internal surface of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
obstruct the detection camera.

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.
