Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to
react at any time to any eventuality.
As a safety measure, the driver must only carry
out any operations that require close attention
when the vehicle is stationary.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance
from other vehicles.Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion engines
emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon
monoxide. There is a risk of poisoning and
death!
In very severe wintry conditions
(temperatures below -23°C), to guarantee
correct operation and the longevity of
the mechanical elements of your vehicle,
engine and gearbox, the engine must be
left running for 4
minutes before driving.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied
– Risk of overheating and damage to the
braking system!
As the exhaust system of your vehicle
is very hot, even several minutes after
switching off the engine, never park or run
the engine on inflammable sur faces (dry
grass, fallen leaves, etc.) - Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsuper vised with
the engine running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running, apply
the parking brake and put the gearbox into
neutral or position N or P , depending on
the type of gearbox.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine and gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle. If you must drive through water:
-

c
heck that the depth of the water is not
more than 6 inches (15 cm), allowing for any
waves that might be made by other road
users,
-
d
eactivate the Stop & Start function,
-
d
rive as slowly as possible without stalling.
In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10 km/h),
-
d
o not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road and as soon as
it is safe to do so, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Driving

Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN or a
qualified workshop.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be checked, even between two
services.
Checking this system must be done by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, CITROËN selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi
engines)
SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of
the oxides of nitrogen (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.
The AdBlue
® is contained in
a special tank holding about
15


litres.
An alert system is triggered automatically once
the reser ve level is reached: you can then drive
for a further 1,500

miles (2,400 km) before the
tank is emptied completely.
