HILL START ASSIST
This system (also called HHC - Hill
Holder
Control), linked to the dynamic
stability
control system, makes hill
starts easier and is activated in the
following
conditions:
-
the vehicle must be stationary
,
engine
running, foot on the brake,
-
the gradient of the road must be
steeper than 5%,
-
uphill, the gearbox must be in
neutral or in a gear other than
reverse,
-
downhill, reverse gear must be
engaged.
The Hill Start
Assist system is a driving
aid.
It is not an automatic vehicle
parking
function or an automatic
parking
brake.
Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal pressed, from the time you release
the brake pedal, without using the
parking
brake, you have approximately
2
seconds to move off before the
vehicle
starts to roll back.
During the moving off phase, the
function is deactivated automatically,
gradually
releasing the braking
pressure.
During this phase, the
characteristic noise of mechanical
release
of the brakes may be heard,
indicating the imminent movement of
the
vehicle.
Operating fault
Hill start assist is deactivated in the
following situations:
-
when the clutch pedal is released,
-
when
the parking brake is applied,
-
when the engine is switched of
f,
-
when
the engine stalls.
If a malfunction of the
system occurs, this
warning lamp comes on
accompanied by an audible
signal
and confirmed by
a
message in the screen. Have the
system
checked by a CITROËN dealer
or
a qualified workshop.

DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS
Observe the driving regulations and
remain vigilant whatever the traffic
conditions.
Pay
close attention to the traffic and
keep
your hands on the wheel so that
you are ready to react at any time to
any
eventuality.
As a safety precaution, the driver
must only carry out actions requiring
sustained attention when the vehicle is
stationary.
On
a long journey, a break every
two hours
is strongly recommended.
In
difficult weather, drive smoothly,
anticipate
the need to brake and
increase the distance from other
vehicles.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving
on flooded roads, as this could cause
serious damage to the engine or
gearbox, as well as to the electrical
systems
of your vehicle. If you are obliged to drive through
water:
-
check
that the depth of water does
not
exceed 15 cm, taking account
of waves that might be generated
by other users,
-
deactivate the Stop & Start system,
-
drive as slowly as possible without
stallin
g. In all cases, do not exceed 6
mph (10 km/h),
- do not stop and do not switch of f
the
engine.
On
leaving the flooded road, as soon
as
circumstances allow, make several
light
brake applications to dry the brake
discs
and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
workshop.Never
drive with the parking brake
applied
- Risk of overheating and
damage
to the braking system!
Risk of fire!
As the exhaust system of your vehicle
is very hot, even several minutes
after switching off the engine, do not
park or leave the engine running over
areas
where inflammable substances
and
materials are present: grass,
leaves, etc.
Never leave a vehicle
unsupervised with the engine
running.
If you have to leave your vehicle with the engine running,
apply
the parking brake and put the
gearbox into neutral or position
N or P,
depending
on the type of gearbox.
Important!

The speed of the vehicle responds to
the pressure of the driver's foot, up
to the the accelerator pedal's point of
resistance, which indicates that the
programmed speed has been reached.
However, pressing the pedal beyond
this
point of resistance to the floor
allows the programmed speed to be
exceeded.
T
o resume use of the limiter,
simply reduce the pressure on the
accelerator pedal gradually and return
to
a speed below that programmed.
Adjustments can be carried out
when stationary, with the engine
running, or with the vehicle moving. This speed limiter shows the function

Recirculation temporarily
prevents exterior odours
and
smoke from entering the
passenger
compartment.
Used with the setting of the fan speed
(from 1 to 4), recirculation enables you
to attain the desired comfort level more
quickly
with both hot or cold settings.
This
position should only be temporary.
When your desired comfort level has
been
reached, return to the intake
of exterior air position to permit
renewal of the air in the passenger

Good practice
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible
to exceed the value 15 by turning until
LO is displayed or the value 27 by
turning
until HI is displayed.
On entering the vehicle, the inside
temperature may be much colder
(or
warmer) than is comfortable.
There
is no advantage in changing the value
displayed
in order to quickly reach the
level
of comfort required.
The
system
will use its maximum performance to
reach
the comfort value set.

of air to guarantee
comfort
and a sufficient circulation
of air in the passenger compartment
according
to the comfort value set. No
further
action on your part is required.Air
flow will increase gradually when
the
engine is cold, to prevent excessive
distribution of cold air.
For your comfort, the settings are
stored when the ignition is switched off
and are reinstated the next time the
vehicle is started.
The automatic function will no longer
be maintained if you change a setting
manually (AUTO is cleared).

ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)
AND
DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (DSC)
These systems are linked and complement the ABS.
The
ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and
avoiding losses of control of the vehicle
on
acceleration.
The system optimises drive to prevent
the
wheels skidding, by acting on the
brakes
of the drive wheels and on the
engine.
It also allows the directional
stability of the vehicle to be improved
on
acceleration.
Use the DSC to hold your course
without
attempting to countersteer.
If there is a variation between the
trajectory
followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver
, the DSC
system automatically acts on the
engine
and the brake of one or more
wheels,
in order to put the vehicle back
on
course.
Deactivation
In certain exceptional conditions
(starting the vehicle when stuck in mud
or
snow, or on loose ground...), it could
prove useful to deactivate the
ASR and
DSC
systems to make the wheels spin
and
regain grip.
Operating fault
Good practice
The ASR/DSC systems offer increased safety during normal driving, but
should
not incite the driver to take risks
or
to drive at high speed.
The operation of these systems is
ensured if the recommendations
of the manufacturer regarding
the wheels (tyres and rims), the
braking
components, the electronic
components
and the fitting and repair
procedures
are observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
workshop.
Operation
The warning lamp flashes when operation of the ASR or
DSC
is triggered.
They engage again:
-
automatically above 30 mph
(50
km/h), When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the warning
lamp and the LED come on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen.
-
Press the button or turn
the dial to the DSC OFF
position (depending on
model).
-
The
LED comes on: the
ASR
and
DSC systems no longer come into
play
. -
manually by pressing the
button again or by turning
the dial to this position
(depending
on model).Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
workshop to have the system
checked.
The warning lamp may also come on if
the
tyres are under-inflated. Check the
pressure
of each tyre.

GRIP CONTROL
Correct use
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you
to drive on other less passable terrain
occasionally.
However, particularly when your
vehicle is heavily laden, it does not
permit
off-road activities such as:
-
crossing and driving on ground
which could damage the underbody
or tear of
f components (fuel pipe,
fuel
cooler, ...), particularly by
obstacles or stones,
-
driving on ground with steep
gradients and poor grip,
-
crossing
a stream.
On snow, mud or sand, traction control
is obtained by a compromise between
safety, grip, traction and appropriate
tyres.
It adapts to allows most conditions of
poor
grip
to
be
accommodated.
The accelerator pedal must be pressed
enough for there to be adequate
engine power to manage the various
parameters
in
the
best
way.

Driving safely
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.
