Driving
6This function allows you to anticipate certain
situations, such as overtaking another vehicle or
approaching a bend in the road.
After a few seconds with no inputs via the control
paddles, the gearbox reverts to automatic
operation.
Creeping (moving without
using the accelerator)
This function facilitates manoeuvring of the
vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic
jams, etc.).
When the engine is at idle, with the parking
brake released and gear position D, M or R
selected, the vehicle begins to creep forward
as soon as you take your foot off the brake pedal
(even without pressing the accelerator).
As a safety precaution, never leave the vehicle with the engine running and the
doors closed.
Manual operation
► With the selector in position D , press
button M to enable 6-speed sequential
gear changing.
The indicator lamp for the button comes on.
►

Operate the "
+" or "-" steering mounted
controls.
M appears and the engaged gears are
shown in succession on the instrument
panel.
► You can revert to automatic operation at any
time by pressing button M again.
The indicator lamp for the button goes off.
In manual mode, there is no need to
release the accelerator pedal while
changing gear.
It is only possible to change from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed and
engine speed permit.
If the engine speed is too low or too high,
the selected gear flashes for a few
seconds, then the gear actually engaged is
shown.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving very
slowly, the gearbox automatically selects gear
M1.
To preserve the brakes while descending a steep incline, use engine braking to
reduce your speed (change down or select a
lower gear).
Keeping the brake pedal pressed
continuously for long periods can overheat
the brakes, with the risk of damaging the
braking system or making it inoperative.
Only use the brakes when necessary, to slow
or stop the vehicle.
Depending on the road configuration
(e.g. mountainous road), manual
operation may be preferable.
Automatic operation may not always be
suitable, and does not enable engine braking.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly (gear selector between
two positions).
►

Place the selector "correctly" at a position.
Switching off the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, select position
P then apply the parking brake to immobilise
the vehicle, unless this is set to automatic mode
(with electric parking brake).
Check that mode
P has been engaged and that
the electric parking brake has been applied
automatically; if not, apply it manually.
The corresponding indicator lamps in the
selector and the electric parking brake control
lever must be on, as well as those on the
instrument panel.
A point of resistance may be noticed when moving to position P.
If the selector is not in position P, when the
driver's door is opened or approximately 45
seconds after the ignition is switched off,

12 V battery
The Stop & Start system requires a
12 V battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work must be carried out only by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
Tyre under-inflation detection
This system alerts the driver if one or more tyres
suffer a drop in pressure.
The alert is raised when the vehicle is moving,
not when stationary.
It compares the information given by the wheel
speed sensors with reference values, which
must be reinitialised every time the tyre
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.
It takes into account the last values stored
during the reinitialisation request. It is therefore
essential that the tyre pressure is correct during
the operation. This operation is the driver’s
responsibility.
The tyre under-inflation detection cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
regularly check the tyre pressures (including
the spare wheel), especially before a long
journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy load, high
speed, long journey):
–

worsens road-holding.
–


lengthens braking distances.
–


causes premature wear of the tyres.
–


increases energy consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for the vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the Identification
markings, refer to the corresponding section.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done monthly
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1 hour or after a journey of less than 6 miles
(10

km) at moderate speeds).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures
shown on the label.

139
Driving
6In certain extreme weather conditions
(rain and/or snow, bright sunshine, etc.),
the head-up display may not be legible or
may suffer temporary interference.
Some sunglasses may hamper reading of the
information.
To clean the projection blade, use a clean,
soft cloth (such as a spectacles cloth or
microfibre cloth). Do not use a dry or abrasive
cloth, or detergent or solvent products, due to
the risk of scratching the projection blade or
damaging the non-reflective coating.
This system operates when the engine is running, and the settings are saved when
the ignition is switched off.
Driving and manoeuvring
aids - General
recommendations
Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must comply with the Highway
Code, must remain in control of the vehicle in
all circumstances and must be able to retake
control of it at all times. The driver must adapt
the speed to climatic conditions, traffic and
the state of the road.
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly
monitor traffic conditions, assess the distance
and relative speed of other vehicles, and
anticipate their manoeuvres before using the
direction indicator and changing lanes.
These systems do not make it possible to
exceed the laws of physics.
Driving aids
You should hold the steering wheel with
both hands, always use the door and interior
mirrors, always leave your feet close to the
pedals and take a break every 2 hours.
Manoeuvring aids
The driver must always check the
surroundings of the vehicle before and during
the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the
mirrors.
Radar(s)
The operation of the radar(s), along with
any associated functions, may be affected
by the accumulation of dirt (e.g.
mud, ice),
in poor weather conditions (e.g.
heavy rain,
snow), or if the bumpers are damaged.
If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop;
certain types of paint could interfere with the
operation of the radar(s).


Driving aids camera
This camera and its associated functions
may be impaired or not work if the windscreen
area in front of the camera is dirty, misty,
frosty, covered with snow, damaged or
masked by a sticker.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle
(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun,
reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel,
alternating shade and light) can also impair
detection performance.
In the event of a windscreen replacement,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to recalibrate the camera;
otherwise, the operation of the associated
driving aids may be disrupted.
Other cameras
The images from the camera(s)
displayed on the touch screen or on the
instrument panel may be distorted by the
terrain.

The system is automatically deactivated when the use of certain types of
"space-saver" spare wheel (smaller diameter)
is detected, or if a fault with the brake pedal
switch or at least two brake lamps is detected.
It can be dangerous to drive if the brake
lamps are not in perfect working order.
The driver must not overload the vehicle (keep within the GVW limit and load
height limits for roof bars).
It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
The driver must always stay in control of the
vehicle and be prepared to react at any time
to avoid an accident.
Following an impact, the system is
automatically deactivated.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Collision Risk Alert
This function warns the driver that their vehicle
is at risk of a collision with the vehicle in front or
with a pedestrian present in their traffic lane.
Operation
Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert trigger
threshold chosen by the driver, several different
levels of alert may be triggered and displayed on
the instrument panel.
The system takes account of the vehicle
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the one
in front, the environmental conditions and the
operation of the vehicle (actions on the pedals,
steering wheel, etc.) to trigger the alert at the
most relevant moment.
(orange)
Level 1: visual alert only, warning you
that the vehicle in front is very close.
The message
"Vehicle close" is displayed.
(red)
Level 2: visual and audible alert, warning
you that a collision is imminent.
The message "Brake! " is displayed.
Level 3: in some cases, a vibration alert in the
form of micro-braking can be given, confirming
the risk of collision.
Where the speed of your vehicle is too
high approaching another vehicle, the
first level of alert may not be displayed: the
level 2 alert may be displayed directly.
Important: the level 1 alert is not displayed
when there is a stationary obstacle or when
the "Close" trigger threshold has been
selected.
Modifying the alert trigger threshold
This trigger threshold determines the sensitivity
with which the function warns of the risk of
collision.
The threshold is set via theDriving/Vehicle touch screen
menu.
►

Select one of the three pre-defined
thresholds: "Far", "Normal" or "Close".
The last threshold selected is memorised when
the ignition is switched off.

154
Driving
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance (iEBA)
This function supplements braking in the event
that the driver brakes, but not enough to avoid a
collision.
This assistance will only be provided if the driver
presses the brake pedal.
Active Safety Brake

This function, also called automatic emergency
braking, intervenes following the alerts if the
driver does not react quickly enough and does
not operate the vehicle's brakes.
The system aims to reduce the speed of impact
or avoid a collision where the driver fails to react.
The speed will be reduced by a maximum of 16 mph (25 km/h) for
versions with camera only, or by a maximum
of 31 mph (50
km/h) for versions with camera
and radar.
Operation
The system operates subject to the following
conditions:
–

At reduced speed in an urban environment,
when a pedestrian is detected.
–


At reduced speed in an urban environment,
when a stationary vehicle is detected.
–


The vehicle's speed is between 6 mph and
53 mph (10

km/h and 85 km/h) when a moving
vehicle is detected.
This warning lamp flashes (for approximately 10 seconds) as soon as
the function applies the vehicle’s brakes.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event of
automatic emergency braking bringing the
vehicle to a complete stop, keep the brake pedal
depressed to prevent the vehicle from moving
off again.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic
emergency braking bringing the vehicle to a
complete stop, the engine may stall.
The driver can maintain control of the vehicle at any time by firmly turning the
steering wheel and/or firmly depressing the
accelerator pedal.
The brake pedal may vibrate slightly while the function is operating.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 2
seconds.
Deactivation/Activation
By default, the system is automatically activated
at every engine start.
The settings are changed via the Driving/Vehicle touch screen
menu.
Deactivation of the system is signalled by
the illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a message.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If these warning lamps come on
after the engine has been switched
off and then restarted, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
These warning lamps light up on the instrument panel to indicate
that the driver's and/or front passenger's seat
belt is not fastened (depending on version). The

Practical information
7– Do not inhale the gases emitted by the
traction battery which are toxic.
–

Move away from the vehicle in the event of
incident or accident, the gases emitted being
flammable and could cause a fire.


This label is intended solely for use by firefighters and maintenance services in
the event of any work on the vehicle.
No other person must touch the device shown
on this label.
In the event of an accident or impact
to the vehicle’s underbody
In these situations, the electrical
circuit or the
traction battery can be seriously damaged.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and switch
off the ignition.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
When washing
Before washing the vehicle, always
check that the charging flap is closed
correctly.
Never wash the vehicle while the battery is
on charge.
High-pressure washing
To avoid damaging the electrical
components, it is expressly prohibited to
use high-pressure washing in the engine
compartment or under the body.
Do not use a pressure greater than 80 bar

Traction battery
This battery stores the energy that powers
the electric motor and the thermal comfort
equipment in the passenger compartment. It is
discharged during use, and must therefore be
regularly recharged. There is no need to wait
for the traction battery to fall to its reserve level
before recharging.
The range of the battery may vary according
to the type of driving, the route, the use of
thermal comfort equipment and the ageing of its
components.
The lifespan of the traction battery depends on multiple factors, such as
climatic conditions, distance travelled and
how often it has been fast-charged.
To preserve the mileage of your vehicle and the durability of your traction battery,
CITROËN recommends that you:
–

Do not fully charge the battery of your
electric vehicle daily (charge the traction
battery below 80% as often as possible).
–


Do not completely discharge the battery
.
–

Do not store the vehicle for a long period
of non-use (more than 12

hours) when the
traction battery has a low or high charge level.
Prefer a charge level between 20 and 40%.
–

Limit the use of fast charging.
–


Do not expose the vehicle to temperatures
below -30°C and above +60°C for more than
24


hours.
–

A

void charging the vehicle at negative
temperatures (except if the vehicle ran more
than 20
minutes) or above +30°C.
–

allow a towing device to be installed.
To install a towing device, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Load distribution
►

Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to the
axle, and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing
engine performance.

The maximum towable load
must be reduced by 10% per 1,000
metres of
altitude.
Use genuine towing devices and wiring
harnesses approved by CITROËN. We
recommend having them fitted by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
If not fitted by a CITROËN dealer, they must
still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions
are automatically deactivated while an
approved towing system is in use.
For more information about driving with a
towing device fitted to a trailer and associated
with the Trailer stability assist, refer to the
corresponding section.
