Manual reset procedure
148
Practical information
The control unit can be reset by simultaneously disconnecting the chargi\
ng connector and the wall socket.
Then, reconnect the wall socket first. For more information, refer to the handbook.
Charging the traction
battery (Rechargeable
hybrid)
For a full charge, follow the charging procedure
without interrupting it, until it stops automatically.
Charging may be performed either immediately
(by default) or deferred.
Deferred charging is set via the touch
screen or the MyCitroën App application.
When the vehicle is connected, the following
information is displayed on the instrument panel:
–
T
raction battery charge status (%).
–
Remaining range (miles or km).
–
Estimated charging time (calculation may take
a few seconds).
–
Charging speed (miles or km gained per hour).
After the instrument panel has been put into
standby mode, this information can be displayed
again by unlocking the vehicle or opening a door
.
It is also possible to monitor the charging
progress using the MyCitroën App
application.
For more information on Remote functions,
refer to the corresponding section.
Lounge mode
When the vehicle is connected, it is
possible to switch on the ignition and use
certain functions such as the audio and
telematics system and the air conditioning
system for several hours.
Low load / Driving
Driving when the charge level of the
traction battery is too low can lead to the
vehicle breaking down and can lead to
accidents or serious injuries. ALWAYS make
sure the traction battery has a sufficient
charge level.
Low load / Parking
If the outside temperature is negative,
it is recommended not to park your vehicle
outside for several hours at a low load (less
than 20%).
Vehicle in storage for more than 1
month
In the event of a long period of non-use of
the vehicle (beyond 4 weeks) without the
possibility of charging when restarting, the
self-discharge may make it impossible to
restart if the traction battery charge level
is a low or very low, especially at negative
ambient temperatures. ALWAYS make sure
that the traction battery has a charge between
20% and 40% if you do not plan to use your
vehicle for several weeks.
Do not connect the charging cable.
Always park the vehicle in a place with
temperatures between -10°C and 30°C
(parking in a place with extreme temperatures
can damage the traction battery).
Refer to the Accessory battery
(Rechargeable hybrid) section for the
battery disconnection procedure.
Precautions
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles have
been developed in accordance with the
recommendations for maximum electromagnetic
field limits established by the ICNIRP
(International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection - 1998 Guidelines).
Wearers of pacemakers or equivalent
devices should consult a doctor to
enquire about any applicable precautionary
measures, or contact the manufacturer of their
implanted electronic medical device to check that
it is guaranteed to operate in an environment
compliant with the ICNIRP guidelines.

Following reconnection
After reconnecting the battery, turn on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting the
engine, to enable the electronic systems to
initialise.
If minor problems nevertheless persist following
this operation, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the relevant section, reinitialise
certain equipment:
–
Electronic key
.
–
Sunroof.
–
Electric windows.
–
Date and time.
–
Preset radio stations.
After reconnecting the battery, the message "Collision risk detection
system fault" is displayed on the instrument
panel when the ignition is switched on. This
operation is perfectly normal. The message
will disappear while driving.
Towing the vehicle
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in the
country where you are driving.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is
higher than that of the towed vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of the
towed vehicle and must have a valid driving
licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on
the ground, always use an approved towing
arm; rope and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When the vehicle is towed with its engine
off, there is no longer braking and steering
assistance.
A professional towing service must be
called if:
–
Broken down on a motorway or main road.
–
Not possible to put
the gearbox into neutral,
unlock the steering, or release the parking
brake.
–
Not possible to tow a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox, with the engine running.
–
T
owing with only two wheels on the ground.
–
Four-wheel drive vehicle.
–
No approved towbar available.
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles
Before any intervention, with the ignition
on, depress the brake pedal and select mode
N, then switch off the hybrid system (READY
indicator lamp off).
Always call on professionals for recovery of
the vehicle on a flatbed lorry or trailer.
Use the towing eye only
to free the vehicle
if it is stuck, or to secure it for recovery on a
flatbed lorry or trailer.

Event data recorders
11Recording event data
Electronic control units are installed in your
vehicle. These control units process data
received from the vehicle's sensors, for example,
or data they generate themselves or exchange
with each other. Some of these control units are
required for the correct operation of your vehicle,
some others assist you while driving (driving or
manoeuvring aids), while others provide comfort
or infotainment functions.
The following contains general information about
how data is processed within the vehicle.
You will find additional information about the
specific data which is downloaded, stored
and transmitted to third parties and what it is
used for in your vehicle under the keyword
"Data protection". This information is directly
associated with the references for the functions
in question contained in the corresponding
vehicle handbook, or in the general terms and
conditions of sale.
This information is also available online.
Vehicle operating data
The control units process the data used for the
operation of the vehicle.
This data includes, for example:
–
Information about the state of the vehicle (e.g.
speed, travel time, lateral acceleration, wheel
rotation rate, fastened seat belts display). –
Environmental conditions (e.g. temperature,
rain sensor
, distance sensor).
As a general rule, this data is temporary, is
not stored for longer than one operating cycle
and is only used within the vehicle itself. The
control units often record this data (including the
vehicle's key). This function allows either the
temporary or permanent storage of information
about the state of the vehicle, stresses on
components, servicing requirements, as well as
events and technical errors.
Depending on the vehicle's equipment level, the
data stored is as follows:
–
Operating state of system components (e.g.
filling level, tyre pressures, battery charge
status).
–
Faults and malfunctions in important system
components (e.g. lamps, brakes).
–
System reactions in specific driving situations
(e.g. deployment of an airbag, triggering of
stability control and braking systems).
–
Information about events which have
damaged the vehicle.
–
For electric and rechargeable hybrid vehicles,
the traction battery charge level and the
estimated driving range.
In particular circumstances (e.g. if the vehicle
has detected a malfunction), it may be necessary
to record data which would otherwise simply not
be stored.
When taking your vehicle in for servicing (e.g.
repairs, maintenance), the stored operating
data may be read along with the vehicle's identification number and used if necessary
.
The personnel working for the servicing network
(e.g. garages, manufacturers) or third parties
(e.g. roadside assistance agents) may read
the vehicle's data. This also applies to work
carried out under warranty and quality assurance
measures.
This data is generally read via the OBD
(On-Board Diagnostics) port fitted by law to
the vehicle. It is used to report on the technical
state of the vehicle or its components and
facilitates the diagnosis of malfunctions, in
compliance with warranty obligations and for
quality improvement. This data, in particular the
information relating to stress on components,
technical events, operator errors and other
malfunctions, is sent to the Manufacturer, if
necessary, along with the vehicle's identification
number. The Manufacturer's liability may also be
engaged. The Manufacturer may also use the
operating data taken from the vehicle for product
recalls. This data may also be used to check the
customer's warranty and any claims made under
warranty.
Any malfunctions stored in the vehicle may be
reset by an after-sales service company during
servicing or repair work, or at your request.
