1control fault: starting prevented in X miles
(kms) "), indicating the driving range in miles or
kilometres.
While driving, the message is displayed every 30
seconds. The alert is repeated when switching
on the ignition.
You can continue driving for up to 685 miles
(1,100
km) before the engine starting
prevention system is triggered.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
Starting prevented
Every time the ignition is switched on, the
message "Emissions control fault: Starting
prevented" is displayed.
To restart the engine
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Power indicator (Electric)

CHARGE
Traction battery charging during deceleration
and braking.
ECO
Moderate energy consumption and optimised
driving range.
POWER
Energy consumption by the drive train during
acceleration.
Charge level indicator
(Electric)


The traction battery's actual charge level and
the remaining range are displayed continuously
when the vehicle is started.
With the ignition off, opening the driver's
door activates the indicator.
Associated warning lamps
Two successive alert levels indicate that the
energy available has dropped to a low level:
1st level: Reserve
The state of charge of the traction battery is low.
Fixed, accompanied by an audible signal.
►

V

iew the remaining range on the instrument
panel.
►

Put the vehicle on charge as soon as
possible.
2nd level: Critical
The state of charge of the traction battery is critical.
Fixed, together with the reserve warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal.
►

Y

ou must put the vehicle on charge.
The remaining range is no longer calculated. The drive train power
gradually decreases.
The heating and air conditioning are switched
off (even if the thermal comfort consumption
indicator is not at the "ECO" level).
Flow indicator (Electric)
The flow indicator displays the energy flows in
the vehicle in real time.
With MyCitroën Play or MyCitroën Drive
It is available in the " Personal 1"/"Personal 2"
display modes of the instrument panel.

Dashboard instruments
With MyCitroën Drive Plus

The indicator changes colour depending on how
energy from the traction battery is being used:
–
Blue: energy consumption.
–


Green: energy recovery
.
This indicator does not represent the battery's actual level of charge.
Thermal comfort
consumption indicator
(Electric)
(Depending on version)
It is available in the display pages of the
instrument panel.


The gauge shows the consumption of the
traction battery's electrical energy by the thermal
comfort devices in the passenger compartment.
The devices in question are the heating and air
conditioning systems.
This equipment can be used:
–

If the vehicle is not plugged in, when the
READY

lamp is lit.
–

If the vehicle is plugged in, when the ignition is
switched on ("Lounge" mode).
Selecting ECO

mode limits the performance of
some of this equipment. The thermal comfort
consumption indicator then moves into the
"ECO" zone.
To quickly heat or cool the passenger compartment, feel free to temporarily
select the maximum heating or cooling
setting.
When the heating is on maximum, the gauge
on the thermal comfort consumption indicator
is in the MAX zone. When the air conditioning
is on maximum, it stays in the ECO zone.
Excessive use of thermal comfort equipment,
particularly at low speed, can significantly
decrease the vehicle's range.
Remember to optimise equipment settings
upon achieving the desired level of comfort,
and adjust them if necessary whenever you
start the vehicle.
After an extended period without using the
heating, you may notice a slight odour during
the first few minutes of use.

The total distance recorder measures the total
distance travelled by the vehicle since its initial
registration.
With the ignition on, the total distance is
displayed at all times. It remains displayed for
30 seconds after switching off the ignition. It is
displayed when the driver's door is opened, and
when the vehicle is locked or unlocked.

the road speed must be displayed in the local
country’s official unit (km/h or mph).
The unit is changed via the screen

Range
(miles or km)Distance that can still be travelled with the
fuel remaining in the tank (based on the
average fuel consumption over the last few miles
(kilometres) travelled).
This value may vary following a change in driving
style or terrain, leading to a significant change in
current fuel consumption.
When the range falls below 19 miles (30
km),
dashes are displayed.
After filling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range
is recalculated and is displayed if it exceeds 62
miles (100
km).
Dashes appearing permanently in place of
numbers while driving indicates a malfunction.
