“Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible” – it is
essential to add at least 10
litres.
Top-up detection may not be instantaneous
after addition. It may take a few minutes of
driving before the top-up detection is e󰀨ective.
Do not dispose of AdBlue
®
bottles or
containers in the household waste.
Place them in a container reserved for this
purpose or take them back to where you
purchased them.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.
Snow chains must be tted only to the
front wheels. They must never be tted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Observe the legislation in force in your
country relating to the use of snow
chains and maximum authorised speeds.
Use only the chains designed to be tted to the
type of wheel tted to your vehicle :
Original tyre size Maximum link size
185/65 R15 9 mm
195/55 R16
For more information on snow chains, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualied workshop.
Installation tips
► To t the snow chains during a journey, stop
the vehicle on a at 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 o󰀨 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 tting the snow chains on a level
and dry surface before setting o󰀨.
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 tted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its
xings 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 su󰀩cient
level of charge in the battery with the ignition o󰀨.
After switching o󰀨 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 conrmation 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 specied duration to
ensure that the battery charge is su󰀩cient.
