There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
-
i
f you press the accelerator and
b
rake pedals at the same time,
-
i
f you force the movement of the
s
elector from the P position to
another position when the battery is
discharged.
If the selector is not in position P
,
when
the
driver's
door
is
opened
or
a
pproximately
45
seconds
after
the

gnition
is
switched
off,
a

If
the engine speed is too low or too high, the
g
ear selected flashes for a few seconds, then
t
he actual gear engaged is displayed.
It
is possible to change from position D
(automatic)
to position M (manual) at any time.
When
the vehicle is stationary or moving
v
ery slowly, the gearbox engages first gear
au
tomatically. With
t he i gnition o n, i llumination o f
t
his warning lamp, accompanied
b

In
this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
m
ode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel
a
substantial knock when changing from P
to R
and from N to R.
This will not cause any
d
amage to the gearbox.

Gear efficiency indicator
System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up.
O n vehicle fitted with a manual
g
earbox, the arrow is accompanied by
t
he gear recommended.
With
an electronic or automatic
g
earbox, the system is only active in
m
anual
m
ode. The
system adapts its gear change
r
ecommendation according to the
d
riving conditions (slope, load, ...) and
t
he demands of the driver (power,
a
cceleration, braking, ...).
The
system never suggests:
-
e
ngaging first gear,
-
enga
ging
r
everse
g
ear,
-
e
ngaging a lower gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
y
ou to skip one (or more) gear(s). You can
f
ollow this instruction without engaging the
i
ntermediate
g
ears.
The
gear engagement recommendations must
n
ot be considered compulsory. In fact, the
c
onfiguration of the road, the amount of traffic
a
nd safety remain determining factors when
c
hoosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver
r
emains responsible for deciding whether or not
t
o follow the advice given by the system.
This
function cannot be deactivated. Example:
-
Y
ou are in third gear.
-
Y
ou press the accelerator pedal.
-
T
he system may suggest that you engage
a
higher gear.
The information appears in the instrument
p
anel in the form of an arrow.

Under-inflation detection
The under-inflation detection system d
oes not replace the need for vigilance
o
n the part of the driver.
This
system does not avoid the need to
c
heck the tyre pressures (including the
s
pare wheel) every month as well as
b
efore a long journey.
Driving
with under-inflated tyres impairs
r
oad holding, extends braking distances
a
nd causes premature tyre wear,
p
articularly under arduous condition
(
high loading, high speed, long journey).The
inflation pressures defined for y
our vehicle can be found on the tyre
p
ressure label.
For
more information on the
i
dentification markings, refer to the
c
orresponding
s
ection.
Tyre
pressures should be checked
w
hen the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
s
topped for 1 hour or after a journey of
l
ess than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
s
peeds).
Other wise
(when hot), add 0.3 bar to
t
he pressures shown on the label.
Driving
with under-inflated tyres
i
ncreases fuel consumption.
System
which
automatically
checks
the
pressures
of
the
tyres while driving.
The
system
monitors
the
pressures
in
the
four
t
yres,
once
the
vehicle
is
moving.
It
compares
the
information
given
by
the
four
w
heel
speed
sensors
with
reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed .
The

Opening
the filler cap may result in an
i
nrush of air. This vacuum is entirely
n
ormal and results from the sealing of
t
he fuel system.

Capacity of the tank: approximately 50 litres.A label on the inside of the filler flap reminds
y
ou of the type of fuel to use according to your
e
ngine.

Operation
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
i
nto contact with the flap. The system remains
c
losed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.
Misfuel prevention (Diesel)*Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of e ngine damage that can result from filling with the wrong fuel.
Located
in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention device appears when the filler cap is removed.
It
remains possible to use a fuel can to
f
ill the tank.
In
order to ensure a good flow of fuel,
d
o not place the nozzle of the fuel can
i
n direct contact with the flap of the
m
isfuel prevention device and pour
s
l ow l y.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different in other countries, the
p
resence of the misfuel prevention
d
evice may make refuelling impossible.
Before
travelling abroad, we
r
ecommend that you check with the
C
ITROËN dealer network, whether your
v
ehicle is suitable for the fuel pumps in
t
he country in which you want to travel.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have have
the tank drained and refilled with
the correct fuel before you star t
the
engine.
Fuel supply cut-off
Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that c
uts off the supply of fuel in the event of an
impact.

AdBlue® additive and SCR system
f
or
BlueHDi Diesel engines
To assure respect for the environment and c
onformity with the new Euro 6 emissions
s
tandard, without adversely affecting the
p
er formance or fuel consumption of Diesel
e
ngines, CITROËN has taken the decision to
e
quip its vehicles with an effective system that
a
ssociates SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction)
w
ith a particle filter (FAP) for the treatment of
e
xhaust gases.
Presentation of the SCR system
Using an additive called AdBlue® containing u
rea,
a
catalytic
converter
turns
up to 85%
o
f
nitrous
oxides
(NOx)
into
nitrogen and
w
ater,
which
are
harmless
to
health and the
e
nvironment. The
AdBlue
® additive is held in a special t
ank
located
under the boot at the rear of
t
he
vehicle.
It has a capacity of 17 litres: this
p
rovides
a
driving range of about 12 500 miles
(
20
000
km),
after which an alert is triggered
w
arning
you
when the reserve remaining is
e
nough
for
just 1 500 miles (2 400 km).
During
each
scheduled service of your vehicle
b
y
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop,
t
he
AdBlue
® additive tank is refilled in order to a
llow
normal operation of the SCR system.
If
the
estimated mileage between two services
i
s
greater
than 12 500 miles (20 000 km), we
r
ecommend
that you go to a CITROËN dealer
o
r
a
qualified workshop to have the necessary
t
op-up
carried out. Once
the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a s
ystem
required
by regulations prevents
s
tarting
of
the
engine.
If the SCR
is faulty, the level of
emissions
from
your vehicle will no
l
onger
meet
the
Euro 6 standard: your
v
ehicle
becomes
polluting.
In
the
event
of
a
confirmed fault
w
ith
the
SCR
system, you must go
t
o
a
CITROËN
dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop
as
soon as possible: after
a
running
distance of 650 miles
(
1 100
km),
a
system will be triggered
a
utomatically
to
prevent engine starting.
