Operation
When your vehicle is too close to or
approaches the vehicle ahead too
quickly the  system  automatically Â
applies
 the  brakes  to  avoid  a  collision.
You are then alerted by the display of a
message.
The
 brake  lamps  on  your  vehicle  come Â
on
 to  warn  other  road  users.
The collision can be avoided
automatically
 if  the  difference  in Â
speed between your vehicle and the
vehicle
 ahead  does  not  exceed  9  mph Â
(15Â km/h).
Above
 this  threshold,  the  system  will Â
do what is possible to avoid or reduce
the accident by lowering the speed of
impact.
The
 automatic  braking  may  bring Â
the
 vehicle  to  a  complete  stop  if  the Â
situation
 requires  it.
In this case, the vehicle is held
stationary
 temporarily  (for  about Â
1.5Â seconds)
 to  allow  the  driver  to  take Â
back
 control  by  pressing  the  brake Â
pedal. The
 triggering  of  the  system  may  cause the engine to stall, unless
the driver depresses the clutch
pedal
 quickly  enough  during  automatic Â
braking.
During
 automatic  braking,  the Â
driver can always obtain a higher
rate of deceleration than that
controlled
 by  the  system,  by  pressing Â
firmly
 on  the  brake  pedal.
After
 an  impact,  the  system  is Â
automatically
 put  out  of  service:  it Â
no
 longer  operates.
You
 must  go  to  a  CITROËN  dealer  or  a Â
qualified
 workshop  to  have  the  system Â
made
 operational  again.
Operating limits
The system only detects vehicles that are stationary  or  moving  in  the  same Â
direction
 as  your  vehicle.
It
 does  not  detect  small  vehicles Â
(bicycles,
 motorcycles), Â
pedestrians
 or  animals,  nor  non-
reflective
 stationary  objects.
The
 system  is  not  triggered  or  is Â
interrupted
 if  the  driver:
-
accelerates strongly
-
or turns the steering wheel
suddenly
 (avoiding  manoeuvre).
In
 difficult  weather  conditions  (very Â
heavy
 rain,  snow,  fog,  hail...), Â
braking
 distances  increase,  which Â
can
 reduce  the  ability  of  the  system  to Â
avoid
 a  collision.
The
 driver  must  therefore  remain Â
particularly
 vigilant.
Never
 leave  accumulations  of Â
snow
 or  any  object  projecting Â
above the bonnet or in front of
the
 roof:  this  might  fall  into  the  field  of Â
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 Â
close as possible to the axle and
the nose weight is close to the
maximum
 authorised  without,  however, Â
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 Â
steep
 slope  in  high  temperatures),  the Â
engine
 automatically  limits  its  power. Â
In this case,
the air conditioning is
automatically
 cut  off  to  save  engine Â
power
.
Tyres
Check
 the  tyre  pressures  of  the  towing Â
vehicle and of the trailer
, observing the
recommended
 pressures.
Chapter
 7,  "Levels"  section.
If
 the  coolant  temperature Â
warning
 lamp  comes  on,  stop Â
the vehicle and switch of
f the
engine
 as  soon  as  possible.Brakes
Towing
 increases  the  braking  distance.  Drive
 at  a  moderate  speed,  change Â
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 Â
your vehicle, and that you entrust the
fitting
 of  this  equipment  to  a  CITROËN Â
dealer
.
If
 this  equipment  is  not  fitted  by  a Â
CITROËN
 dealer,  it  is  imperative  that Â
it
 is  fitted  using  the  electrical  pre-
equipment
 installed  at  the  rear  of  the Â
vehicle and in accordance with the
manufacturer's
 instructions.
In accordance with the general
instructions
 a  reminder  of  which  has Â
been given above, we draw your
attention
 to  the  risk  associated  with Â
fitting
 a  towbar  or  electrical  accessory Â
not
 recommended  by  CITROËN. Â
Fitting
 such  equipment  could  result  in Â
the failure of your vehicle's electronic
system.
 Please  obtain  information  from Â
the
 Manufacturer  before  fitting  this  type Â
of
 equipment.

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

Cooling system
Only use the fluid recommended by the manufacturer.
Otherwise,
 you  risk  seriously  damaging Â
your
 engine.
When
 the  engine  is  warm,  the Â
temperature
 of  the  coolant  is  controlled Â
by
 the  engine  fan. Â
As
 this  fan  can Â
operate
 with  the  ignition  key  removed Â
and
 because  the  cooling  system  is Â
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 Â
release the pressure to prevent any
risk
 of  scalding.  When  the  pressure Â
has
 dropped,  remove  the  cap  and  top Â
up
 the  level  with  coolant.
If
 fluid  has  to  be  added  frequently, Â
this
 indicates  a  fault  which  must  be Â
checked
 by  a  CITROËN  dealer  as Â
soon
 as  possible.
Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level ground with  the  engine  cold.  Unscrew Â
the cap integrated with the gauge and
check
 the  level  which  must  be  between Â
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 Â
traffic
 conditions  permit  (until  the Â
message
 disappears  and  the  service Â
warning
 lamp  goes  off).
d
uring regeneration of the particle
emission
 filter,  the  noise  of  a  relay Â
operating
 may  be  heard  under  the Â
dashboard.
If
 the  message  is  still  displayed  and Â
if
 the  service  warning  lamp  remains Â
on, contact a CITR
o Ë n dealer or a
qualified
 workshop.
Topping up
The
Â
level
Â
must
Â
be
Â
between
Â
the
Â
MIN
Â
and
Â
MAX
Â
marks
Â
on
Â
the
Â
expansion
Â
bottle.
Â
If
Â
more
Â
than
Â
1
Â
litre
Â
of
Â
fluid
Â
is
Â
required to top up the level, have the
system
Â
checked
Â
by
Â
a
Â
CITROËN
Â
dealer
Â
or
Â
a
Â
qualified
Â
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 Â
freezing,
 this  fluid  must  not  be  topped Â
up
 or  replaced  with  plain  water.
Capacity
 of  the  screenwash  reservoir: Â
approximately
 3  litres.
If
 your  vehicle  is  fitted  with  headlamp Â
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 Â
a
 CITROËN  dealer  or  a  qualified Â
workshop
 without  delay.
Waste products
avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with  the  skin.
Brake
 fluid  is  harmful  to  health  and Â
very
 corrosive.
Do
 not  dispose  of  used  oil,  brake  fluid Â
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
Â
minimum
Â
level
Â
of
Â
this
Â
additive
Â
is indicated by lighting of the service
warning
Â
lamp,
Â
accompanied
Â
by
Â
an
Â
audible
Â
signal
Â
and
Â
a
Â
message
Â
in
Â
the
Â
screen.
When this occurs with the engine
running it is due to the start of
saturation
Â
of
Â
the
Â
particle
Â
filter
Â
(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving
Â
conditions:
Â
low
Â
speed,
Â
long
Â
traffic
Â
jams,

Good practice
Only use products recommended by CITRo Ë n or products of equivalent
quality
 and  specification.
In
 order  to  optimise  the  operation Â
of
 units  as  important  as  the  braking Â
system,
 CITROËN  selects  and  offers Â
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, Â
or
Â
in
 winter,  ice  may  form  on  the  brake Â
discs
 and  pads:  braking  efficiency  may Â
be
Â
reduced.  Make  some  light  brake Â
applications to dry and de-ice the
brakes.

opening
 of  the  left-hand  side  door. Â
When
 the  fuel  filler  flap  is  open,  ensure Â
that
 no  one  tries  to  slide  this  door.
Once
 the  flap  has  been  closed,  the Â
sliding
 side  door  may  jam,  push  the Â
door
 to  close  it  then  open  it.
When the low fuel level is

for
 it  to  be  registered  by  the  fuel  gauge.
When
 the  fuel  filler  cap  is  opened, Â
there
 may  be  a  slight  inrush  of  air. Â
This

 is  entirely  normal  and  is  due  to Â
the
 sealing  of  the  fuel  system.
When
 filling  the  fuel  tank,  do  not Â
continue after the 3rd cut-off of the
nozzle.
 This
Â
could
Â
cause  malfunctions.
The
