Reinitialisation
Following reconnection of the battery,
or in the event of a malfunction, the
safety anti-pinch function must be
reinitialised.
Good practice
If the electric windows meet an
obstacle during operation, you must
reverse the movement of the window.
To do this, press the control concerned.
When the driver operates the
passenger electric window controls,
they must ensure that no one is
preventing correct closing of the
windows.
The driver must ensure that the
passengers use the electric windows
correctly.
Be aware of children when operating
the windows.
Following several consecutive closing/
opening operations of the electric
window control, a protection system
is triggered which only allows closing
of the window. After closing, wait
approximately 40 minutes. Once this
time has elapsed, the control becomes
operational again. Lower the window fully, then raise it, it
will rise in steps of a few centimetres
each time the control is pressed.
Repeat the operation until the window
is fully closed.
Continue to press the control for at
least one second after the window
closed position has been reached.
The safety anti-pinch does not operate
during these operations.
There are two operating modes:
One-touch mode
Press or pull the control, beyond the
point of resistance.
The window opens or closes fully when
the control is released.
Pressing or pulling the control again
stops the movement of the window.

Labels are applied at various
points on your vehicle. They
carry safety warnings as well as
vehicle identification information. Do
not remove them: they form an integral
part of your vehicle.
GENERAL SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
For any work on your vehicle, use
a qualified workshop that has the
technical information, skills and
equipment required, all of which a
CITROËN dealer is able to provide. We draw your attention to the
following points:
-
The fitting of electrical equipment
or accessories not listed by
CITROËN

may cause excessive
current consumption and faults and
failures with the electrical system of
your vehicle. Contact a CITROËN
dealer for information on the range
of recommended accessories.
-
As a safety measure, access to
the diagnostic socket, used for
the vehicle's electronic systems,
is reserved strictly for CITROËN
dealers or qualified workshops,
equipped with the special tools
required (risk of malfunctions of the
vehicle's electronic systems that
could cause breakdowns or serious
accidents).

The manufacturer
cannot be held responsible if this
advice is not followed.
-

Any modification or adaptation
not intended or authorised by
Automobiles CITROËN or carried
out without meeting the technical
requirements defined by the
manufacturer would lead to the
suspension of the legal and
contractual warranties. Installation of accessory


radio communication
transmitters
Before installing a radio communication
transmitter, you must contact a
CITROËN dealer for the specification
of transmitters which can be fitted
(frequency, maximum power,
aerial position, specific installation
requirements), in line with the Vehicle
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive
(2004/104/EC).
Depending on the legislation in
force in the country, certain safety
equipment may be compulsory:
high visibility safety vests, warning
triangles, breathalysers, spare bulbs,

immobilise your vehicle.
Check that the parking brake is applied
firmly before leaving the vehicle. Pull on the parking brake lever, only
with the vehicle stationary.
In the exceptional case of use of the
parking brake when the vehicle is
moving, apply the brake by pulling
gently to avoid locking the rear wheels
(risk of skidding).
Press this button, the direction
indicators flash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
The hazard warning lamps should only
be used in dangerous situations, when
stopping in an emergency or when
driving in unusual conditions.
When parking on a slope, direct your
wheels towards the pavement and pull
the parking brake lever up.
There is no advantage in engaging
a gear after parking the vehicle,
particularly if the vehicle is loaded.
If the parking brake is still on or has
not been released properly, this is
indicated by this warning lamp which
comes on in the instrument panel.
Automatic operation of hazard
warning lamps
When braking in an emergency,
depending on the force of deceleration,
the hazard warning lamps come
on automatically. They switch off
automatically the first time you
accelerate.

The audible (front and rear) and visual
(rear) parking sensor system consists
of proximity sensors, installed in the
rear bumper.
The sensors detect any obstacle which
enters its field of operation: person,
vehicle, tree, fence, behind the vehicle
during the manoeuvre.
Certain objects detected at the
beginning of the manoeuvre will no
longer be detected at the end of the
manoeuvre due to the blind spots
between and below the sensors.
Examples: stake, roadworks cone or
pavement post.
Engage reverse gear
PARKING

SENSORS
Display in the screen
An audible signal confirms the
activation of the system by engaging
reverse gear.
The proximity information is indicated
by an audible signal which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approaches
the obstacle.
When the distance between the rear
of the vehicle and the obstacle is less
than approximately thirty centimetres,
the audible signal becomes
continuous.

Activation / DeactivationMalfunction
In the event of a malfunction, the LED
in the button comes on, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message in
the screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or qualified
workshop.
Good practice
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with mud,
ice or snow.
The system will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed
or if a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle
fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by CITROËN).
You can activate or deactivate
the system by pressing this
button.
The activation or deactivation
of the system is stored when
the vehicle stops.
The parking sensor system
cannot, in any circumstances,
take the place of the vigilance and
responsibility of the driver.
Engage forward gear
In addition to the rear parking sensors,
the front parking sensors are triggered
when an obstacle is detected in
front of the vehicle and the speed
of the vehicle remains below 6 mph
(10
km/h).The tone from the speaker (front
or rear) allows an obstacle to be
identified as either in front of or
behind the vehicle.
Stop the assistance
Change to neutral. You are advised to deactivate
the system if your vehicle is fitted
with a rear ladder or if you are
transporting a load which exceeds
the length of the vehicle.

REVERSING CAMERA
The reversing camera is activated
automatically when reverse gear is
engaged.
The image is displayed in the touch
screen tablet.
The reversing camera function may be
completed with parking sensors.The reversing camera cannot in
any circumstances be a substitute
for vigilance on the part of the
driver. High pressure jet washing
When washing your vehicle, do
not direct the lance within 30 cm of
the camera lens.
The superimposed representation of
guide lines helps with the manoeuvre.
They are represented by lines marked
"on the ground" and do not allow the
position of the vehicle to be determined
relative to tall obstacles (for example:
other vehicles, ...).
Some deformation of the image is
normal. The blue lines represent the general
direction of the vehicle (the difference
corresponds to the width of your
vehicle without the mirrors).
The red lines represent a distance of
about 30 cm beyond the edge of your
vehicle's rear bumper.
The green lines represent distances of
about 1 and 2 metres beyond the edge
of your vehicle's rear bumper.
The turquoise blue curves represent
the maximum turning circle.
Opening the tailgate causes the
display to disappear.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
(ABS / EBFD)
The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake
force distribution) systems improve the
stability and manoeuvrability of your
vehicle on braking, in particular on
poor or slippery surfaces.
The ABS prevents locking of the
wheels, the EBFD provides control of
the braking pressure wheel by wheel. If this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message
in the screen, it indicates a
malfunction of the ABS which
could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle on braking.
If this warning lamp comes
on, together with the brake
and STOP warning lamps,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution
which could result in a loss of control of
the vehicle on braking.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSIST

ANCE (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables
the optimum braking pressure to be
reached more quickly, press the pedal
firmly without releasing it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is pressed down.
This alters the resistance of the brake
pedal under your foot.
To maintain operation of the
emergency braking assistance system:
keep your foot on the brake pedal.
Good practice
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock. It does not
reduce the braking distance.
On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil,
etc...) the ABS may increase the
braking distance. When braking in
an emergency, do not hesitate to
press the brake pedal firmly, without
releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able
to continue to manoeuvre the vehicle
to avoid an obstacle.
Normal operation of the ABS may be
felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that these are listed by
CITROËN for the vehicle. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

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.
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.
-

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.

button again or by turning
the dial to this position
(depending on model).

GRIP CONTROL
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. On snow, mud or sand, traction control
is obtained by a compromise between
safety, grip, traction and appropriate
tyres. 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.

Different modes are available:
Normal (ESC)
ESC OFFSnow
This mode allows the vehicle
to adapts its strategy to the
conditions of grip encountered
for each of the two front
wheels, on moving off.
When moving, the system optimises
wheelspin to provide the best
acceleration possible for the grip
available.
Off road
(mud, wet grass, ...)
When moving off, this
mode allows considerable
wheelspin on the wheel
with the least grip to favour
clearing of the mud and
regain "grip".
At the same time, the wheel with the
most grip is controlled in such a way as
to transmit as much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises
wheelspin to meet the driver's
requirements as fully as possible.
Sand
This mode allows a little
wheelspin on the two driving
wheels at the same time to
allow the vehicle to move
forward and reduces the risk
of getting stuck in the sand.
Do not use the other modes on sand
as the vehicle may become stuck.
This mode is calibrated
for a low level of skidding,
based on different conditions
of grip encountered on the
road.
When the ignition is switched off,
the system returns automatically to
DSC mode.
This mode is only suitable
for specific conditions
encountered when moving
off or at low speed.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h)
the system returns to DSC mode
automatically.
