Safety
Operating modes



Standard (ESC)
This mode is calibrated for a low level of wheel spin, based on the different levels
of grip normally encountered on the road.
Whenever the ignition is switched off, the
system automatically resets to this mode.
Snow
This mode adapts its strategy to the conditions of grip encountered for each of
the two front wheels on moving off.
(mode active up to 50 mph (80
km/h))
All terrain (mud, damp grass, etc.)
This mode, when moving off, allows considerable spin on the wheel with the
least grip to optimise clearing of the mud and to
regain grip. At the same time, the wheel with the
most grip is controlled in such a way as to
transmit as much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully
as possible.
(mode active up to 31 mph (50
km/h))
Sand
This mode allows little spin on the two driving wheels at the same time to allow
the vehicle to move forward and limit the risks of
getting stuck in the sand.
(mode active up to 75 mph (120
km/h))
Do not use the other modes on sand as
the vehicle may become stuck.
You can deactivate the ASR and DSC systems by turning the knob to the "OFF"
position.
The ASR and DSC systems will no longer act on the operation of the engine
or of the brakes in the event of a change of
trajectory.
These systems are reactivated automatically
from 31 mph (50
km/h) and whenever the
ignition is switched on.
Recommendations
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to
occasionally drive on other less passable
terrain.
However, it does not permit off-road driving
such as:
–

crossing and driving on terrain which
could damage the underbody or strip away
components (fuel pipe, fuel cooler

, etc.) due
to obstacles or stones in particular,
–

driving on terrain with steep gradients and
poor grip,
–


crossing a stream.
Seat belts
Inertia reel
The seat belts are equipped with an inertia reel
which allows the strap length to automatically
adjust to your shape. The seat belt returns to its
storage automatically when it is not used.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device which
automatically locks the strap in the event of a
collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls
over. It can be released by pulling the strap firmly
and then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.
Pyrotechnic pretensioning
This system improves safety in the event of a
frontal or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly
tightens the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are
enabled when the ignition is on.
Force limiter
This system reduces the pressure of the seat
belt on the chest of the occupant, thus improving
their protection.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impacts, the pyrotechnic
device may trigger before and independently
of airbag deployment. Deployment of the
pretensioners is accompanied by a slight
discharge of harmless smoke and a noise,
due to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes
on.
Following an impact, have the seat belt
system checked, and if necessary replaced,
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Driving
twice without passing the point of resistance or
push just once, passing the point of resistance.
Regenerative braking
With the Brake function and when
decelerating
The Brake function emulates engine braking,
slowing the vehicle with no need to depress the
brake pedal. The vehicle slows more quickly
when the driver releases the accelerator pedal.
The energy recovered when the accelerator
pedal is released is then used to partially
recharge the traction battery, thereby increasing
the vehicle's driving range.
The resulting deceleration of the vehicle does not cause the brake lamps to come
on.
►

From mode
D, press button B to activate/
deactivate the function (the button lights up when
the function is activated).
D on the instrument panel is replaced with B.
The system status is saved when the ignition is
switched off.
In some situations (e.g. battery full,
extreme temperatures), the amount of
regenerative braking may be temporarily
limited, resulting in less deceleration.
The driver must remain alert to traffic
conditions and must always be ready to use
the brake pedal.
With the brake pedal
When the brake pedal is depressed, the
intelligent braking system automatically recovers
some of the energy and uses it to recharge the
traction battery.
This energy recovery also reduces use of the
brake pads, thereby limiting their wear.
The driver may experience a different sensation when depressing the brake
pedal compared to a vehicle without
regenerative braking.
Driving modes (Electric)
Driving modes are selected using the following
control:




Pressing the control displays the modes on the
instrument panel and, depending on version, on
the screen with CITROËN Connect Nav.
You cannot select a mode if the READY lamp
is off. When the message disappears, the selected
mode is activated and remains indicated on the
instrument panel (except
Normal mode).
Each time the ignition is switched on, Normal
mode is selected by default.
Normal
This optimises the driving range and dynamic
performance.
To obtain maximum torque and power, depress
the accelerator pedal fully.
Eco
Optimises energy consumption, by reducing
the output of the heating and air conditioning
(without actually deactivating them) and limiting
both motor torque and power.
Power
Provides equivalent vehicle performance when
fully laden (GVW) to when the vehicle is in
Normal mode and when unladen.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start function puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during
phases when the vehicle is stopped (red lights,
queues, etc.). The engine restarts automatically
- START mode - as soon as the driver wishes to
move 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.
Driving on flooded roads
Before entering into a flooded area, it is
strongly recommended that you deactivate
the Stop & Start system.
For more information on Driving
recommendations, particularly on flooded
roads, refer to the corresponding section.
Deactivation/Reactivation
With/without audio system




► To deactivate or reactivate the system, press
this button.
The indicator lamp is on when the system is
deactivated.
With touch screen
The settings are changed via the vehicle configuration menu.
