Rear parking sensors / Reversing
camera
When reversing, these systems detect and
provide a warning for any obstacles located
behind the vehicle.
Stop & Start
This system puts the engine temporarily into standby during stops in the
traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc...). The engine restarts automatically
as soon as you want to move off. The Stop & Start system reduces fuel
consumption, exhaust emissions and the noise level when stationary.
Temporary puncture repair kit
This kit is a complete system consisting of a
compressor and sealant cartridge, to allow the
temporary repair of a tyre.
Zenith windscreen
This large windscreen provides incomparable
visibility and light in the passenger
compartment.

Interior mood lighting
This subdued passenger compartment lighting
improves visibility inside the vehicle in low
lighting conditions. It comprises several lamps,
located in the automatic day/night mirror
support and in the lower dashboard storage
compartment.
Gear shift indicator
depending on the driving conditions and your
driving style, this system may suggests when to
change up to reduce your fuel consumption.
Scented air freshener
The scented air freshener diffuses the
selected fragrance throughout the passenger
compartment from its location in the ventilation
system.
Digital air conditioning
after setting the desired level of comfort, the
system then automatically controls this level
according to the ambient conditions.
Audio and communication
systems
These systems benefit from the latest
technology: MP3 compatible Audio system,

Eco-drivingEco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without waiting. during acceleration change up early.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, give preference to automatic
mode and avoid pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather
than the brake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. These
practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO
2
emissions and also helps reduce the background traffic noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds
above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well. The gear shift indicator invites you engage the most suitable gear: as
soon as the indication is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it
straight away.
For vehicles fitted with an electronic or automatic gearbox, this
indicator appears only in manual mode.
Control the use of your electrical
equipment
Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it
by opening the windows and air vents before using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows and leave the air vents
open.
Remember to make use of equipment that can help keep the temperature
in the passenger compartment down (sunroof and window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic regulation, as soon
as the desired temperature is attained.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.
Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps when the level of light
does not require their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off, particularly in winter; your
vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.
as a p
assenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices
(film, music, video game...), you will contribute towards limiting the
consumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.
dis
connect your portable devices before leaving the vehicle.

Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the
bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof
bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
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.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter,
passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
operations recommended in the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a
b
l
ueH
di
d
i
esel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle
becomes polluting; go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay to have the emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to
the legal level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles
(3
000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to
a consistent average.

Warning/indicator lampis on Cause Action / Observations
Maximum coolant
temperature fixed.
The temperature of the cooling
system is too high. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait until the engine has cooled down before topping
up the level, if necessary.
If the problem persists, contact a CITR
oËn
dealer or
qualified workshop.
Engine oil
pressure fixed.
There is a fault with the engine
lubrication system. You must stop as soon it is safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Battery charge fixed. The battery charging circuit has a
fault (dirty or loose terminals, slack or
cut alternator belt, ...). The warning lamp should go off when the engine is
started.
If it does not go off, contact a CITR
oËn
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Low fuel level
fixed. When it first comes on there remains
approximately 5 litres of fuel in the
tank. You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out of fuel.
This warning lamp will come on every time the ignition
is switched on, until a sufficient addition of fuel is
made.
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres (petrol),
46
litres (Diesel) or 37 litres (LPG); depending on
version: approximately 30 litres (petrol or Diesel).

this could damage the emission control and injection
systems.

Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay.
Particle
emissions filter
(Diesel) fixed, accompanied by
an audible signal.
This indicates that the particle
emissions filter is starting to become
saturated. As soon as driving conditions allow, regenerate the
filter by driving at a speed of at least 35 mph (60 km/h)
until the warning lamp goes off (see the "Checks
-
Particle emissions filter" section).
fixed, accompanied by
an audible signal. This indicates the low level of the
additive reservoir. Have the reservoir topped up as soon as possible by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop (see the
"Checks - Additive level" section).
Under-inflation fixed, accompanied by
an audible signal and
a message. The pressure in one or more tyres is
too low.
Check the tyre pressures as soon as possible.
This check should preferably be carried out when the
tyres are cold.
You must reinitialise the system after the adjustment
of one or more tyre pressures and after changing one
or more wheels.
For more information, refer to the "Under-inflation
detection" section.
