Citroen C5 X recharge while driving

[DS9]

Stu - I find 6 and 7 really give you the same information but just in a different way. At the moment I have the centre screen home in the maps and 6 type thing but normally revert to Aandroid auto.

The rest of the comments are noteworthy and I'll play around with it when I finally get around to driving it on a long trip in a week and a half. I might try the Tomtom on the way up and Googlemaps on the way back. I do like Android auto, the 3D googlemaps resolution looks great on the 12 inch screen.

The reason I wondered about the seats was I realised after comments on here it was hidden in a submenu. Just maybe just it could have been a factory extra that motorpoint never declared. Back in 2016 I got a 500x off motorpoint advertised with no extras. When I saw the car it had a spare wheel and "comfort pack". Then on the drive home I saw these yellow lights in the mirrors and audible lane warnings and found out it had the £1,000 safety package with things like lane assist and reversing across in the car park thing the C5X has. Lovely jubbly!

Garpat32 - I've looked through the applications drawer, not there

The boot mat I got from Ebay from these people below. Pops up at £50 but then when I clicked through it was £45 inc delivery. There seems to be a few suppliers around the same price. They are £80.72 excl delivery on the citroen website.

It came rolled up a bit but they soon go back to flat.


I'm just waiting for the car mats now, I hope they are good ones. At an advertised 2850g per M2 I'm hoping they are.

One great little piece of design I've come across is the plastic on the bottom of the doors. When they close they actually hit a seal under the car so all the dirt and debris doesnt go up there. Was a problem on the 500x and less so on the DS9 even though the doors went down to the sill, dirt always seemed to creep in sideways.

Thanks for the item number

I was going to order from here

I've looked on there before, it looks good until you realise the min order value and then the minimum 35 euro delivery charge.on top.

Still, if I was spending in the region of 200 quid it'd probably be cheaper than the UK site.

One thing you'll see on the EU site is the alternative wheels. 215 65 profile on 17 inch rims pops up at various tyre sites as an option and they have 4 alloys for 576 on there at the moment.

I wonder what the car would ride like on that? I presume it'd be better. Not seen a pic of a car yet with them on though.

I think I have all wrong......
Currently on a trip away, yesterday 240 miles, 130 of that at 70mph on the motorway, the rest A- roads.
Full charge to start, about halfway the battery was at 0% and 89mpg and at the end 68mpg.
Now this is where i think I have it wrong.
Yes battery did last a fair disatnce, but it has it's limit. Was this Satnav controlled or just the Hybrid system juggling the drive method?
I also noticed something on the power display. Initially I started out with 6 miles e-save, after fairway the battery went down to 4 miles, then then I noticed what I noticed at turned it off!
Below are the various stages of motion,

The bottom one is interesting, I think that that display shows the engine recharging the traction battery, it momentarily changed to this after the car went into Electric mode, such as pulling away from a junction or on a low speed road or manoeuvre when the battery was at 0%. It was also showing when the e-save range was 4 miles!

Not sure what to think. I haven't driven mine enough to cast judgement on things yet. I'll try a few approaches when I next have a long drive and see what conclusions I draw.
