Driving
“Go forwards".
The manoeuvring status is indicated by these
symbols:
Manoeuvre in progress (green).
Manoeuvre cancelled or finished (red) (the arrows indicate that the driver must
resume control of the vehicle).
The maximum speeds during manoeuvres are
indicated by these symbols:
75 mph or 7 km/h, for parking space entry.
53 mph or 5 km/h, for parking space exit.
During manoeuvring phases, the steering
wheel performs rapid turns: do not hold
the steering wheel or put your hands between
the spokes of the steering wheel. Watch out
for any objects that could interfere with the
manoeuvre (loose clothing, scarf, tie, etc.).
Risk of injury!
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly
monitor the traffic, especially vehicles coming
towards you.
The driver should check that no objects or
people are obstructing the vehicle’s path.
The images from the camera(s) displayed on the touch screen may be
distorted by the terrain.
In shady areas, or in inadequate sunlight
or lighting conditions, the image may be
darkened and with lower contrast.
The manoeuvre can be permanently interrupted
at any time, either by the driver or automatically
by the system.
Interruption by the driver:
– taking over control of the steering.– activating the direction indicator lamps on the opposite side to that of the manoeuvre.– unfastening the driver's seat belt.– switching off the ignition.Interruption by the system:– vehicle exceeding the speed limit of 5 mph (7 km/h) during parking space entry manoeuvres, or 3 mph (5 km/h) during parking space exit manoeuvres.– activation of anti-slip regulation on a slippery road.
– opening of a door or the boot.– engine stall.– system malfunction.– after 10 manoeuvres to enter or exit a parallel parking space and after 7 manoeuvres to enter a
parking bay.
Interrupting the manoeuvre automatically
deactivates the function. The manoeuvre symbol is displayed in red,
accompanied by the "
Manoeuvre cancelled"
message on the touch screen.
A message prompts the driver to take back
control of the vehicle.
End of the parking space entry or exit
manoeuvre
The vehicle stops as soon as the manoeuvre is
completed.
The manoeuvre symbol is displayed in red,
accompanied by the message “ Manoeuvre
completed” on the touch screen.
When entering a parking space, the driver may
be required to complete the manoeuvre.
Operating limits
– The system may suggest an unsuitable parking space (No Parking area, work in
progress with damaged road surface, location
alongside a ditch, etc.).
– The system may indicate that a space has been found but not offer it because of a fixed
obstacle on the opposite side of the manoeuvre,
which would not allow the vehicle to follow the
necessary trajectory for parking.
– The system may indicate that a space has been found but not engage the manoeuvre
because the road is too narrow.
– The system is not designed to perform the parking manoeuvre on a sharp bend.– The system does not detect spaces that are much larger than the vehicle or are bounded by
obstacles that are very low (pavements, studs, etc.) or very thin (trees, posts, wire fences, etc.).– Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind spots may not be detected or may no longer be
detected during the manoeuvre.
– Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound waves: pedestrians may not be detected.– A front or rear impact to the vehicle can upset the sensors’ settings, which is not always
detected by the system: distance measurements
may be distorted.
– If the boot is heavily loaded, the vehicle may tilt, affecting distance measurements.
The vehicle's sensors and camera(s) may be
impaired by:
– accumulated snow or fallen leaves on the road,– adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, thick fog, falling snow),– noise interference from noisy vehicles and machinery (lorries, pneumatic drills, etc.).
Do not use the function under the
following exterior conditions:
– Alongside a soft shoulder (e.g. ditch) or quay or on the edge of a drop.– When the road surface is slippery (e.g. ice).
If any of the following malfunctions
occurs, do not use the system:
– If a tyre is under-inflated.– If one of the bumpers is damaged.– If one of the cameras is faulty.

126
Practical information
– the green mark on the star wheel is in line
with the white mark on the ball joint,
– the locking wheel is in contact with the towball (position A),– the security key lock is on and the key removed; the locking wheel can no longer be
operated,
– the towball must not be able to move in its carrier; test by shaking it with your hand.
If the towball is not locked, the trailer can
detach - accident risk!
During use
Never release the locking system with a
trailer or load carrier on the towball.
Never exceed the maximum authorised
weight for the vehicle - the Gross Train
Weight or GTW.
It is essential that the maximum authorised
load be complied with on the towing device:
if it is exceeded, this device may detach from
the vehicle, which is a serious accident risk.
Check that the trailer lamps work correctly.
Before setting off, check the adjustment of the
headlamp beam height.
For more information on Headlamp
adjustment, refer to the corresponding
section.
Following use
When travelling without a trailer or load
on a towbar-mounted carrier, the towball
must be removed and the protective plug
inserted in the carrier. This measure applies
particularly where the towball might obscure
visibility of the number plate or its lighting.
Fitting the towball

► Below the rear bumper , remove the protective plug 2 from the towball carrier 1.

► Insert the end of towball 5 into carrier 1 and
push it upwards; the locking will take place
automatically.


► The locking wheel 6 turns a quarter of a turn
anti-clockwise ; take care to keep your hands
clear!


► Check that the mechanism has correctly locked into place and that the green mark on the
star wheel is in line with the white mark on the
towball (position A).
► Close the lock 7 using the key.

136
Practical information
Freezing of the AdBlue®
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below
around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a heater for the
AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to continue driving
in very cold conditions.
Supply of AdBlue®
It is recommended that the AdBlue® be topped
up as soon as the first alert is issued indicating
that the reserve level has been reached.
For the correct operation of the SCR
system:
– Use only AdBlue® fluid that meets the ISO
22241 standard.
– Never transfer AdBlue® to another container
as it would lose its purity.
– Never dilute AdBlue® with water.
It is possible to obtain AdBlue
® from a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
You can also visit a service station equipped with AdBlue® pumps specially
designed for passenger vehicles.
Never top up from an AdBlue® dispenser
reserved for heavy goods vehicles.
Recommendations on storage
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and deteriorates
above +25°C. Containers should be stored in a
cool area and protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept for
at least a year.
If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once it has
completely thawed out at room temperature.
Never store AdBlue® containers in your
vehicle.
Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This fluid is
non-flammable, colourless and odourless (when
kept in a cool place).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
affected area with soap and running water. In the
event of contact with the eyes, immediately rinse
the eyes with large amounts of water or with an
eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes. Seek
medical attention if you feel a persistent burning
sensation or irritation.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high temperature, for
example), the risk of release of ammonia cannot
be excluded: do not inhale the fluid. Ammonia
vapours have an irritant effect on mucous
membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Store AdBlue® out of the reach of
children, in its original container.
Procedure
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure that
the vehicle is parked on a flat and level surface.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the temperature
of the vehicle is above -11 °C. Otherwise, the AdBlue® may be frozen and therefore cannot
be poured into its tank. Park your vehicle in a
warmer area for a few hours to allow the top-up
to be carried out.
Never pour AdBlue® into the Diesel fuel
tank.
If any AdBlue® is splashed, or if there are
any spillages on the bodywork, rinse
immediately with cold water or wipe with a
damp cloth.
If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off using a
sponge and hot water.
Important: in the event of a top-up after
a breakdown because of a lack of
AdBlue, it is essential to wait around 5
minutes before switching on the ignition,
without opening the driver’s door,
unlocking the vehicle, introducing the key
into the ignition switch, or introducing the
key of the “Keyless Entry and Starting ” system into the passenger compartment .
Switch on the ignition, then wait for 10
seconds before starting the engine.
► Switch off the ignition and remove the key from the switch to switch off the engine.
or
► With Keyless Entry and Starting, press the "START/STOP" button to switch off the engine.

► With the vehicle unlocked and the fuel filler flap open, turn the blue cap of the AdBlue® tank
a quarter turn anti-clockwise.
Filling up
► With a container of AdBlue®: after checking
the expiry date, read the instructions on the
label carefully before pouring the contents of the
container into the vehicle's AdBlue tank.► With an AdBlue® pump: introduce the nozzle
and fill the tank until the nozzle automatically
cuts out.
In order not to overfill the AdBlue® tank:
– Add between 10 and 13 litres using AdBlue® containers.

headlamps and lamps
Depending on version, the affected types of
headlamps / lamps are:
– Daytime running lamps / sidelamps.– Direction indicator side repeaters.– Third brake lamp.– Number plate lamps.
Putting the spare wheel
back in place
The punctured wheel cannot be placed in
the boot under the floor.


► Put the spare wheel back in place in its housing.► Slacken the nut on the bolt by a few turns.► Position the fastening device (nut and bolt) in the middle of the wheel.► Tighten the central nut sufficiently to retain the wheel correctly.► Put the tool box back in place in the middle of the wheel and clip it in place.► Clip the tool storage box or put the polystyrene cover back in place (depending on
version).
If there is no wheel in the well, the
fastening device (nut and bolt) cannot be
refitted.
After changing a wheel

With a "space-saver" type spare wheel
Deactivate certain driving aid functions
(Active Safety Brake, Adaptive cruise control,
etc.).
Do not exceed the maximum authorised
speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).Driving with more than one “space-saver”
type spare wheel is prohibited.
Visit a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible to have
the tightness of the bolts and the pressure of
the spare wheel checked.
Have the punctured tyre examined. After
inspection, the technician will advise you on
whether the tyre can be repaired or if it must
be replaced.
Changing a bulb
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes.
The headlamps have polycarbonate lenses with a protective coating:
– Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive
cloth, nor with detergent or solvent
products.
– Use a sponge and soapy water or a pH neutral product.– When using a high-pressure washer on persistent marks, do not keep the lance
directed towards the headlamps, lamps or
their edges for too long, so as not to damage
their protective coating and seals.
Changing a bulb must only be done with
the ignition off and after the headlamp /
lamp has been switched off for several
minutes - risk of serious burns!
Do not touch the bulb directly with your
fingers; use a lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the
headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new bulb
of the same type and specification. To avoid
lighting imbalance, replace the bulbs in pairs.

Frequently asked
questions
The following information groups together the answers to the most frequently asked questions
concerning your audio system. With the engine off, the audio system
switches off after a few minutes of use.
When the engine is switched off, the audio
system operating time depends on the state of
charge of the battery.
The switch-off is normal: the audio system
switches to economy mode and switches off to
avoid discharging the vehicle's battery.
► Start the vehicle’
s engine to increase the charge of the battery.
The message "the audio system is
overheated" is displayed onscreen.
To protect the installation if the ambient
temperature is too high, the audio system
switches to an automatic thermal protection
mode, in which the volume may be decreased or
the CD player stopped.
► Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to allow the system to cool.
Radio
There is a difference in sound quality
between the different audio sources (radio,
CD, etc.).
For optimal listening quality, the audio settings
(Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience and Loudness)
can be adjusted to different audio sources,
resulting in audible differences when switching
between sources (radio, CD, etc.).
