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
7► If the vehicle is locked, unlock it.
The red indicator lamp in the flap goes out to
confirm that the charging nozzle is unlocked.
►

In modes 2 and 3, remove the charging
nozzle within 30 seconds

.


The locking of the nozzle is linked to the locking of the loading area. For more
information on Complete or selective
unlocking , refer to the corresponding
section.
The charging indicator lamp comes on in white.
With selective door unlocking activated,
press the unlocking button twice to
disconnect the charging nozzle.
When charging is complete, the green
charging indicator lamp in the flap goes
out after about 2 minutes.
Domestic charging, mode 2
The end of charging is confirmed when the green
CHARGE indicator lamp on the control unit and
the green charging indicator lamp in the flap
come on fixed.
►

Replace the protective cover on the charging
nozzle and close the charging flap.
►


Disconnect the control unit end of the
charging cable from the domestic socket.
Accelerated charging, mode 3
The end of charging is indicated by the charging
control unit and by the fixed lighting of the green
indicator lamp in the flap.
►

Hang up the nozzle on the charging unit and
close the charging flap.
Superfast charging, mode 4
The end of charging is indicated by the charger
and by the fixed lighting of the green indicator
lamp in the flap.
► You can also pause charging by
pressing this button in the flap (in mode 4
only).
►

Hang up the nozzle on the charger
.
►

Depending on version, replace the protective
cover on the lower section and close the
charging flap.
When the charging nozzle is
disconnected, a message on the
instrument panel indicates that charging is
complete, even if the charging nozzle was
disconnected before full charging was
completed.
Energy economy mode
This system manages the duration of use of
certain functions, in order to conserve a sufficient
level of charge in the battery with the ignition off.
After switching off the engine and for a maximum
cumulative period of around 30 minutes, you can
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.

V battery,
