Practical information
Observe the legislation in force in your
country relating to the use of snow
chains and maximum authorised speeds.
Use only chains designed to be fitted to the type
of wheel fitted to the vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size 215/65 R17 9 mm
205/55 R19 9 mm
For more information, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Installation tips
► To fit the snow chains during a journey, stop
the vehicle on a flat surface at the side of the
road.
►

Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of the vehicle.
►


Fit the snow chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer

.
►

Move off gently and drive for a few moments,
without exceeding 31

mph (50 km/h).
►

Stop the vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that you
practise fitting the snow chains on a level
and dry surface before setting off.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
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, you can still
use functions such as the audio and telematic
system, the wipers and the dipped beam
headlamps or courtesy lamps, for a combined
duration of approximately 40 minutes.
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.
For more information on the 12
V battery,
refer to the corresponding section.
Load reduction mode
This system manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates certain
functions, such as the air conditioning and the
heated rear screen.
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.

Stop & Start
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
you must switch off the ignition to avoid any
