Driving
6Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures
shown on the label.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Under-inflation alert
This is signalled by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and the display of a message.
►

Reduce speed immediately
, avoid excessive
steering movements and avoid sudden braking.
►

Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.
The loss of pressure detected may not always cause visible deformation of the
tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
►

Using a compressor
, such as the one in
the temporary puncture repair kit, check the
pressures of all four tyres when cold.
►

If it is not possible to carry out this check
immediately

, drive carefully at reduced speed.
►

In the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel
(depending on equipment).
Driving too slowly may not ensure
optimum monitoring.
The alert is not immediately triggered in the
event of a sudden loss of pressure or tyre
blow-out. This is because analysis of the
values read by the wheel's speed sensors
can take several minutes.
The alert may be delayed at speeds below
25 mph (40 km/h), or when adopting a sporty
driving mode.
The alert is kept active until the system is reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
► The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressure of one or more tyres,
and after changing one or more wheels.
Before reinitialising the system, make
sure that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and conform to the values written on
the tyre pressure label.
Check the pressures of the four tyres before
performing the reinitialisation.
The system does not advise if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
Without audio system
► Open the glove box.



► Hold this button down.
Reinitialisation is confirmed by a low-pitched
audible signal.
A
high-pitched audible signal indicates that the
reinitialisation has not been carried out.
The new pressure parameters saved are treated
as reference values by the system.
With audio system
► Press the MENU button for access to the
main menu.
►

Press the "
7" or "8" button to select the
"Personalisation-configuration " menu and
confirm by pressing the central button.
►

Press the "
7" or "8" button to select the
"Define the vehicle parameters " menu and
confirm by pressing the central button.
►

Press the "
7" or "8" button to select the
"Driving assistance" category and confirm by
pressing the central button.

Driving
6– When using a ‘space-saver’ type spare
wheel.
–

When using snow chains, non-slip covers
or studded tyres.
Cruise control
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids and the
Specific recommendations on cruise
control.
This system automatically maintains the vehicle’s speed at the value programmed
by the driver (speed setting), without the use of
the accelerator pedal.
Cruise control is switched on manually.
It requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40

km/h).
With a manual gearbox, fourth gear must be
engaged.
With an automatic gearbox, mode

D
or second
gear or higher in mode

M
must be engaged.
Cruise control remains active after
changing gear on engines fitted with a
manual gearbox and the Stop & Start
function.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
speed setting.
Steering-mounted control

1. ON (CRUISE position)/OFF (position 0)
2. Activate cruise control at the current speed/
decrease speed setting
3. Activate cruise control at the current speed/
increase speed setting
4. Pause/resume cruise control with the speed
setting previously saved

6. Cruise control mode selection
7. Speed setting value
Switching on/pausing
► Turn thumbwheel 1 to the "CRUISE" position
to select cruise control mode; the function is
paused.
►

Press button
2-SET- or 3-SET+ to activate
cruise control and save a speed setting when
the vehicle has reached the desired speed; the
vehicle’s current speed is saved as the speed
setting.
►

Release the accelerator pedal.
►


Pressing button 4-II

temporarily pauses the
function (pause).
►

Pressing button 4-II

again resumes operation
of the cruise control (ON).

Practical information
7“Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible” – it is
essential to add at least 10 litres.
Top-up detection may not be instantaneous
after addition. It may take a few minutes of
driving before the top-up detection is effective.
Do not dispose of AdBlue® bottles or
containers in the household waste.
Place them in a container reserved for this
purpose or take them back to where you
purchased them.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.
Snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Observe the legislation in force in your
country relating to the use of snow
chains and maximum authorised speeds.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle :
Original tyre size Maximum link size 185/65 R15 9 mm
195/55 R16
For more information on snow chains, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Installation tips
► To fit the snow chains during a journey, stop
the vehicle on a flat surface at the side of the
road.
►

Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of the vehicle.
►


Fit the snow chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer

.
►

Move off gently and drive for a few moments,
without exceeding 31

mph (50 km/h).
►

Stop the vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that you
practise fitting the snow chains on a level
and dry surface before setting off.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Energy economy mode
This system manages the duration of use of
certain functions, in order to conserve a sufficient
level of charge in the battery with the ignition off.
After switching off the engine and for a maximum
cumulative period of around 30 minutes, you can
continue to use functions such as the audio and
telematics system, dipped beam headlamps or
courtesy lamps.
Selecting the mode
A confirmation message is displayed when
energy economy mode is entered, and the active
functions are placed on standby.
If a telephone call is in progress at the
time, it will be maintained for around 10
minutes via the audio system’s hands-free
system.
Exiting the mode
These functions are automatically reactivated the
next time the vehicle is used.
To restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
–

For less than 10 minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately 5 minutes.
–


For more than 10 minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately 30 minutes.
Let the engine run for the specified duration to
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
