Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold,
referring to the label in the door aperture,
driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-
a
t each change of season,
-
a
fter a long period out of use.
Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan. Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, etc.) and
obser ve the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
With a
BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes
polluting. Visit a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop as soon as possible to
bring your vehicle's nitrogen oxide emissions
back in line with the regulations.
When filling the tank, do not continue after the
3rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 1,900
miles (3,000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a
consistent average.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and
refit your summer tyres. Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer, etc.). Preferably, use a
roof box.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.

In emergency braking, press the brake
pedal hard and maintain this pressure.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or
a
qualified workshop.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)/
Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Operation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of
a problem with grip or trajectory.
Deactivation of the ASR
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
w hich is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR system, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip. F
I
n the Driving
menu, select the " Driving
functions " tab, then " Traction control".
Deactivation is confirmed by the display of
a
message.
The ASR system no longer acts on the
operation of the engine or the brakes in the
event of an involuntary change of trajectory.
Reactivation of the ASR
The system is reactivated automatically every
time the ignition is switched back on or from
31
mph (50 km/h).
Below 31
mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate it
manually:
F
I
n the Driving menu, select the " Driving
functions " tab, then " Traction control".
Operating fault
The illumination of this warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible
signal and a
message, indicates that
there is a
fault with these systems. ASR/DSC
These systems offer increased safety
in normal driving, but they should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain,
snow, ice) that the risk of loss of grip
increases. It is therefore important for your
safety to keep these systems activated in
all conditions, and particularly in difficult
conditions.
The correct operation of these systems
depends on observation of the
manufacturer's recommendations, not
only about the wheels (tyres and rims),
braking and electronic components but
also the assembly and repair procedures
used by CITROËN dealers.
To benefit in full from the effectiveness
of these systems in wintry conditions,
the vehicle must be fitted with four snow
tyres, allowing the vehicle to retain neutral
behaviour on the road.
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument
panel. Reactivate the system when grip conditions
allow.
Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the systems checked.

P
ress the button again to switch off the
ignition and allow the vehicle to be locked.
With the ignition on, the system
automatically changes to energy economy
mode when required to maintain an
adequate state of charge of the battery.
On certain versions with the automatic gearbox
(EAT6/EAT8), the steering column does not
lock.
Electric parking brake
The technology adopted for the electric
parking brake does not allow the fitment of
15-inch wheels.
Indicator lamp
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and in the control
lever to confirm the application of
the parking brake. It goes off to confirm the release of the parking
brake.
The indicator lamp in the control lever flashes
during manual application or release.
After applying the parking brake, the
simultaneous flashing of the indicator lamps
in the instrument panel and in the control lever
warns you to secure the immobilisation of the
vehicle by engaging a
gear (with a manual
gearbox or by placing the selector at position
P with an automatic gearbox or by placing
a chock against one of the wheels (e.g. parking
on a very steep slope or a steep slope with
a weak battery).
In the event of a battery failure, the
electric parking brake no longer works.
As a safety measure, if the parking brake
is not applied, immobilise the vehicle by
engaging a
gear (with a
manual gearbox)
or placing a chock against one of the
wheels.
Call a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The system provides, in automatic operation,
the application of the parking brake on
switching off the engine and release as the
vehicle moves off.

If you release the accelerator sharply, the
gearbox will not change to a
higher gear for
safety reasons.
Temporary control of gear
changing
You can temporarily take control of gear
changes using the steering mounted control
paddles " +" and " -". The gear change
instruction is acted on if the engine speed
permits.
This function allows you to anticipate certain
situations, such as overtaking another vehicle
or approaching a
bend in the road.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
If a
fault occurs in STOP mode, the engine may
stall.
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come
on.
Depending on version, an alert message may also
be displayed, asking you to place the gear lever in
position N and press the brake pedal.
It is then necessary to switch off the ignition and
start the engine again using the "START/STOP"
button.
The Stop & Start requires the use of
a 12 V battery of special specification and
technology.
All work on this type of battery must be
carried out only by a
CITROËN dealer or
a
qualified workshop.
For more information on the 12
V batter y,
refer to the corresponding section.
Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid
the risk of injury related to an automatic
change to START mode. Driving on flooded roads
Before driving in a
flooded area, it is
strongly recommended that you deactivate
the Stop & Start system.
For more information on Driving advice ,
particularly on flooded roads, refer to the
corresponding section.
Tyre under-inflation
detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressure of the four
tyres when the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised after ever y tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change .
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a
drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres. The under-inflation detection system does
not replace the need for vigilance on the
part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a
long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres worsens
road-holding, lengthens braking distances,
causes premature wear of the tyres,
particularly in adverse conditions (heavy
loads, high speeds, long journeys).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section.

The speed limit units (mph or km/h)
depend on the country you are driving in.
This should be taken into account in order
to obser ve the speed limit.
For the system to operate correctly when
you change country, the units for speed in
the instrument panel must be those for the
country you are driving in.
The automatic reading of road signs is
a driving assistance system and does not
always display speed limits correctly.
The speed limit signs present on the road
always take priority over the display by the
system.
The system cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
The driver must observe the driving
regulations and must adapt the speed of
the vehicle to suit the weather and traffic.
The system may not display the speed
limit if it does not detect a
speed limit sign
within a
preset period.
The system is designed to detect signs
that conform to the Vienna Convention on
road signs. To maintain correct operation of the
system: regularly clean the area in front of
the camera.
The internal sur face of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Activation/Deactivation
Activation and deactivation of the system is
done in the touch screen's Driving
menu.
Select the " Vehicle settings " tab, then
" Security "/ "Safety " and "Recommended
speed display ".
Displays in the instrument panel

or
2. Indication of the end of the speed limit. The system is active but is not detecting speed
limit information.
On detection of speed limit information, the
system displays the value.
Operating limits
The legislation on speed limits is specific to
each country.
The system does not take account of reduced
speed limits in the following cases:
-
p
oor weather (rain, snow),
-
a
tmospheric pollution,
-
w
hen towing,
-
d
riving with a space-saver type spare wheel
or snow chains fitted,
-

When the cruise control is switched on, be
careful if you maintain the pressure on one
of the programmed speed modification
buttons: this may result in a very rapid
change in the speed of your vehicle.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads or in heavy traffic.
When descending a
steep hill, the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the programmed speed.
On steep climbs or when towing, the
programmed speed may not be reached
or maintained.
The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with the operation
of the cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
-
e
nsure that mats are secured correctly,
-
n
ever fit one mat on top of another.Adaptive cruise control
The system allows the speed of
your vehicle to be maintained at the
setting you have made, and also to
respect the inter-vehicle time that
you have selected between your
vehicle and the one in front, when
the situation permits it.
Switching between the
types of cruise control
The choice between "adaptive" and "standard"
cruise control is made in the Driving menu.
F
T
urn the cruise control wheel to
the "CRUISE" position.
F
I
n the Driving menu, select the Driving
functions tab and then Active cruise
control to activate or deactivate adaptive
cruise control.
For more information on the Cruise
control , refer to the corresponding
section.
Principles of operation
Using radar with a range of about 100 metres,
l ocated at the front of the vehicle, this system
detects a
vehicle travelling in front of your
vehicle.
It automatically adapts the speed of your
vehicle to that of the vehicle in front.
If the vehicle in front is travelling more slowly,
the system progressively reduces the speed of
your vehicle using just engine braking (as if the
driver had pressed the " -" b u t to n).
If your vehicle is too close to the vehicle in
front or is approaching it too quickly, adaptive
cruise control is automatically deactivated.
The driver is then alerted by an audible signal
accompanied by a
message.
If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes
lane, the adaptive cruise control gradually
accelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed speed.
If the driver operates the direction indicator to
the left (left-hand drive) or to the right (right-
hand drive), to overtake a
slower vehicle, the
adaptive cruise control allows your vehicle to
temporarily approach the vehicle in front to
assist the overtaking manoeuvre, though never
exceeding the programmed speed.
The adaptive cruise control operates
by day and at night, in fog or moderate
rainfall.
