Operation
When your vehicle is too close to or
approaches the vehicle ahead too
quickly the system automatically
applies
the brakes to avoid a collision.
You are then alerted by the display of a
message.
The
brake lamps on your vehicle come
on
to warn other road users.
The collision can be avoided
automatically
if the difference in
speed between your vehicle and the
vehicle
ahead does not exceed 9 mph
(15 km/h).
Above
this threshold, the system will
do what is possible to avoid or reduce
the accident by lowering the speed of
impact.
The
automatic braking may bring
the
vehicle to a complete stop if the
situation
requires it.
In this case, the vehicle is held
stationary
temporarily (for about
1.5 seconds)
to allow the driver to take
back
control by pressing the brake
pedal. The
triggering of the system may cause the engine to stall, unless
the driver depresses the clutch
pedal
quickly enough during automatic
braking.
During
automatic braking, the
driver can always obtain a higher
rate of deceleration than that
controlled
by the system, by pressing
firmly
on the brake pedal.
After
an impact, the system is
automatically
put out of service: it
no
longer operates.
You
must go to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
workshop to have the system
made
operational again.
Operating limits
The system only detects vehicles that are stationary or moving in the same
direction
as your vehicle.
It
does not detect small vehicles
(bicycles,
motorcycles),
pedestrians
or animals, nor non-
reflective
stationary objects.
The
system is not triggered or is
interrupted
if the driver:
-
accelerates strongly
-
or turns the steering wheel
suddenly
(avoiding manoeuvre).
In
difficult weather conditions (very
heavy
rain, snow, fog, hail...),
braking
distances increase, which
can
reduce the ability of the system to
avoid
a collision.
The
driver must therefore remain
particularly
vigilant.
Never
leave accumulations of
snow
or any object projecting
above the bonnet or in front of
the
roof: this might fall into the field of
vision of the sensor and generate a
detection.

For more information about weights and towed loads, refer to
chapter 9, "Weights" section.
TOWING A TRAILER , A CARA VAN ...
Distribution of loads
d
istribute the load in the trailer so
that
the heaviest objects are as
close as possible to the axle and
the nose weight is close to the
maximum
authorised without, however,
exceeding
it.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the
coolant temperature.a s the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the
engine speed.
You should therefore use a high gear
to lower the engine speed and reduce
your
speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant
temperature.
Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox
in neutral.

Good Practice
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a
steep
slope in high temperatures), the
engine
automatically limits its power.
In this case,
the air conditioning is
automatically
cut off to save engine
power
.
Tyres
Check
the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer
, observing the
recommended
pressures.
Chapter
7, "Levels" section.
If
the coolant temperature

lamp comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch of
f the
engine
as soon as possible.Brakes
Towing
increases the braking distance. Drive
at a moderate speed, change
down
early and brake gradually.
Towbar
We recommend the use of genuine CITRo Ë n towbars and their wiring
harnesses, which have been tested
and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle, and that you entrust the
fitting
of this equipment to a CITROËN
dealer
.
If
this equipment is not fitted by a
CITROËN
dealer, it is imperative that
it
is fitted using the electrical pre-
equipment
installed at the rear of the
vehicle and in accordance with the
manufacturer's
instructions.
In accordance with the general
instructions
a reminder of which has
been given above, we draw your
attention
to the risk associated with
fitting
a towbar or electrical accessory
not
recommended by CITROËN.
Fitting
such equipment could result in
the failure of your vehicle's electronic
system.
Please obtain information from
the
Manufacturer before fitting this type
of
equipment.

LEVELS
Oil change
This must be carried out at the intervals specified in the
manufacturer's
servicing schedule.
Ask
for
advice from a CITROËN dealer.
Remove
the dipstick before filling.
Check
the level after filling (never
exceed
the max mark).
Refit
the oil filler cap before closing the
bonnet.
Changing the brake fluid
The brake fluid must be changed at the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Use
fluids recommended by the
manufacturer
, which meet the DOT4
standard.
The
level must be between the MIN
and
MAX marks on the reservoir.
If
fluid has to be added frequently,
this
indicates a fault which must be
checked
by a CITROËN dealer or
a
qualified workshop as soon as
possible.
Warning lamps
If you have to remove / refit the engine style cover, handle it with
care
to avoid damaging the fixing
clips.
Oil level
It is recommended that the oil level be checked every 3 000 miles (5 000 km)
and topped up if necessary between oil
changes.
Check
the level with the vehicle level,
engine
cold, using the dipstick.
Dipstick
Viscosity selection
In
all cases, the oil selected must
meet
the requirements specified in the
manufacturer's
service schedule.
These
regular maintenance
operations
will keep your vehicle
in
good working order.
Ask
for
advice
from a CITROËN dealer or refer
to
the maintenance and warranty guide
in
the handbook pack.
Checks using the warning
lamps
in the instrument panel
is described in chapter 3,
"Instruments

Cooling system
Only use the fluid recommended by the manufacturer.
Otherwise,
you risk seriously damaging
your
engine.
When
the engine is warm, the
temperature
of the coolant is controlled
by
the engine fan.
As
this fan can
operate
with the ignition key removed
and
because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying
out any work.
Slacken
the cap by 1/4 of a turn to
release the pressure to prevent any
risk
of scalding. When the pressure
has
dropped, remove the cap and top
up
the level with coolant.
If
fluid has to be added frequently,
this
indicates a fault which must be
checked
by a CITROËN dealer as
soon
as possible.
Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level ground with the engine cold. Unscrew
the cap integrated with the gauge and
check
the level which must be between
the
MIN and MAX marks. In
order to regenerate the filter, you are advised to drive at a speed higher
than
40 mph (60 km/h) for at least five minutes
as soon as possible, when
traffic
conditions permit (until the
message
disappears and the service
warning
lamp goes off).
d
uring regeneration of the particle
emission
filter, the noise of a relay
operating
may be heard under the
dashboard.
If
the message is still displayed and
if
the service warning lamp remains
on, contact a CITR
o Ë n dealer or a
qualified
workshop.
Topping up
The
level
must
be
between
the
MIN
and
MAX
marks
on
the
expansion
bottle.
If
more
than
1
litre
of
fluid
is
required to top up the level, have the
system
checked
by
a
CITROËN
dealer
or
a
qualified
workshop.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products of the CITROËN range.
For
optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing,
this fluid must not be topped
up
or replaced with plain water.
Capacity
of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately
3 litres.
If
your vehicle is fitted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is
6 litres.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel with particle
filter)
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop
without delay.
Waste products
avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake
fluid is harmful to health and
very
corrosive.
Do
not dispose of used oil, brake fluid
or coolant into drains or into the ground
but into the containers dedicated to this
use at a CITR
o Ë n dealer (France) or
an
authorised waste disposal site.
The
minimum
level
of
this
additive
is indicated by lighting of the service
warning
lamp,
accompanied
by
an
audible
signal
and
a
message
in
the
screen.
When this occurs with the engine
running it is due to the start of
saturation
of
the
particle
filter
(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving
conditions:
low
speed,
long
traffic
jams,
...).

Good practice
Only use products recommended by CITRo Ë n or products of equivalent
quality
and specification.
In
order to optimise the operation
of
units as important as the braking
system,
CITROËN selects and offers
specific
products.
Bleeding water from the Diesel
filter Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
In order to avoid damaging the electrical units, high pressure
washing to clean the engine
compartment
is strictly prohibited.
After
washing the vehicle dampness,
or
in
winter, ice may form on the brake
discs
and pads: braking efficiency may
be
reduced. Make some light brake
applications to dry and de-ice the
brakes.
If
this
warning
lamp
comes
on,
bleed
the
filter.
Otherwise
bleed
regularly
each
time
the
engine
oil
is
changed.
H
d
i engines use advanced
technology.
All
work
requires
special training, so should be
entrusted
to
a
CITROËN
dealer.
Depending
on
country
of
sale.
To drain the water, unscrew the bleed
screw
located
on
the
filter.
o
perate until all of the water no longer
flows
in
the
transparent
pipe,
then
tighten
the
bleed
screw.

REFUELLING
Low fuel level
Filling
The fuel tank must be filled with
the
engine off.
-
Open
the fuel filler flap.
-
Insert
the key, then turn it a quarter
turn.
-
Remove
the cap and hook it onto
the clip located on the inside of the
flap.
When
filling with fuel, a
mechanical
system prevents
opening
of the left-hand side door.
When
the fuel filler flap is open, ensure
that
no one tries to slide this door.
Once
the flap has been closed, the
sliding
side door may jam, push the
door
to close it then open it.
When the low fuel level is
reached,
this
warning
lamp
comes
on. A
label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds
you of the type of fuel to be
used.
Y
ou must fill with at least 5 litres of fuel
for
it to be registered by the fuel gauge.
When
the fuel filler cap is opened,
there
may be a slight inrush of air.
This
vacuum
is entirely normal and is due to
the
sealing of the fuel system.
When
filling the fuel tank, do not
continue after the 3rd cut-off of the
nozzle.
This
could
cause malfunctions.
The
capacity
of
the
fuel tank is
approximately
60
litres.
-
After
filling
the
fuel tank, lock the
cap
and
close
the flap.
Fuel used for petrol engines
The petrol engines are compatible with E10 bio-petrol (containing 10 %
ethanol), conforming to European
standards
EN 228 and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 %
ethanol) are reserved exclusively for
vehicles
marketed for the use of this
type
of fuel (BioFlex vehicles).
The
quality
of the ethanol must comply with
European
standard EN 15293.
You then have approximately 8 litres
of
fuel
remaining.
Fill up without delay to avoid running
out
of
fuel.
Never
risk
driving
until
you
run
out
of
fuel
as
this
may
damage
the
emissions
control
and
injection
systems.
