available in the main battery is dropping to a
low level:
- 2 bars of the state of charge gauge in the

instrument panel, on and flashing: starting
to use the reserve.

- The last bar in the state of charge gauge

flashing.

Energy consumption / generation indicator

Energy consumption

On switching on the ignition, your vehicle
neither consumes nor generates energy in its
electric traction system: the needle is in the
"neutral" position (provided that the heating and
air conditioning are off).

"Eco" zone

A system that informs the driver of the level of energy consumption or generation of the main battery.

"Neutral" position

"Charge" zone

The needle moves to the right in proportion to
the energy consumption by the vehicle.

The needle is in this zone when the vehicle is
used so as to moderate electric consumption
and optimise its range.

The needle moves to the left in proportion to
the level of charge sent to the main battery,
during periods of deceleration and braking.

In cold weather, the capacity for
regeneration via braking is reduced.

Anti-theft protection

Electronic immobiliser

The key contains an electronic chip which has
a special code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised to permit
starting.
This electronic immobiliser locks the control
system a few moments after the ignition is
switched off and prevents starting by anyone
who does not have the key.
In the event of a malfunction and if your vehicle
does not start, contact a CITROËN dealer as
soon as possible.

Remote control problem

In the event of a remote control malfunction,
you can neither unlock nor lock your vehicle.
F

Lost keys

Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's V5 registration document and your personal
identification documents.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to retrieve the key code and the transponder code
required to order a replacement key.

Remote control

The high frequency remote control is a sensitive system; do not operate it while it is in your
pocket as there is a possibility that it may unlock the vehicle, without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your remote control out of range and out of sight of
your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it from working.
The remote control does not operate when the key is in the ignition, even when the ignition
is switched off.

Locking the vehicle

Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment by the
emergency services more difficult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on board), remove the key from the ignition when you
leave the vehicle, even for a short time.

Anti-theft protection

Do not make any modifications to the electronic immobiliser system; this could cause
malfunctions.

When purchasing a second-hand vehicle

Have the key codes memorised by a CITROËN dealer, to ensure that the keys in your
possession are the only ones which can start the vehicle.
