Practical information
Changing to free-wheeling
In certain situations, it is necessary to put the
vehicle into free-wheeling mode (e.g. towing, on
a rolling road, automatic car wash (Wash mode),
rail or sea transport).
The procedure varies according to the type of
gearbox and parking brake.
Never leave the vehicle unattended with
the vehicle into free-wheeling mode.
Keyless Entry and Start
You must not depress the brake pedal
while switching the ignition on again, then
switching it off. If you do, the engine will start,
requiring you to restart the procedure.
/
Release procedure
► With the vehicle stationary and the engine
running, depress the brake pedal and select
mode
N.
Within 5
seconds:
►

Depress and hold the brake pedal, then
observe this order: switch off the engine and
move the push selector forwards or backwards.
►


Release the brake pedal, then switch on the
ignition.
►


Place your foot on the brake and press the
electric parking brake control to release it.
► Release the brake pedal, then switch off the
ignition.
A message is displayed on the instrument panel to confirm the unlocking
of the wheels for 15
minutes.
After 15 minutes or reverting to normal
operation
► While depressing the brake pedal, restart the
engine and select mode P .
Advice on care and maintenance
General recommendations
Observe the following recommendations to avoid
damaging the vehicle.
Exterior
Never use a high-pressure jet wash in
the engine compartment - risk of
damaging the electrical components!
Do not wash the vehicle in bright sunshine or
extremely cold conditions.
When washing the vehicle in an
automatic roller-brush car wash, be sure
to lock the doors and, depending on version,
move the electronic key away.
When using a pressure washer, keep the jet
nozzle at a minimum distance of 30 cm from
the vehicle (particularly when cleaning areas
containing chipped paint, sensors or seals).
Promptly clean up any stains containing
chemicals liable to damage the vehicle's
paintwork (including tree resin, bird
droppings, insect secretions, pollen and tar).
Depending on the environment, clean the
vehicle frequently to remove salty deposits
(in coastal areas), soot (in industrial areas)
and mud/salts (in wet or cold areas). These
substances can be highly corrosive.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop for advice on removing stubborn
stains requiring special products (such as tar
or insect removers).
Preferably, have paint touch-ups performed
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Interior
When washing the vehicle, never use a
water hose or high-pressure jet to clean
the interior.
Liquids carried in cups or other open
containers can spill, presenting a risk of
damage to the instruments and controls and
the controls located on the centre console. Be
vigilant!

Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does
not obstruct traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and non-slippery.
With a manual gearbox, engage first gear
to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake,
unless it is set to automatic mode, and switch
off the ignition.
With an automatic gearbox, select mode

P

and wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a chock under the wheel
diagonally opposite the wheel to be changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a
jack; use an axle stand.

again after a continuous period with the
vehicle immobilised, the duration of which
depends on the exterior temperature and the
state of charge of the battery (up to about 8
hours).
Towing the vehicle
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in the
country where you are driving.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is
higher than that of the towed vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of the
towed vehicle and must have a valid driving
licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on
the ground, always use an approved towing
arm; rope and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When the vehicle is towed with its engine
off, there is no longer braking and steering
assistance.
A professional towing service must be
called if:
–

Broken down on a motorway or main road.
–


Not possible to put
the gearbox into neutral,
unlock the steering, or release the parking
brake.
–

Not possible to tow a vehicle with an

Frequently asked
questions
The following information groups together the
answers to the most frequently asked questions
concerning the system.
Radio
The reception quality of the tuned radio
station gradually deteriorates or the station
presets are not working (no sound, 87.5 MHz
is displayed, etc.).
The vehicle is too far from the selected station’s
transmitter, or no transmitter is present in the
geographical area.
►

Activate the "RDS" function in the upper bar
to enable the system to check whether there is
a more powerful transmitter in the geographical
area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels,
basement car parks, etc.) is blocking reception,
including in RDS mode.
This is a perfectly normal phenomenon, and is
not indicative of an audio system malfunction.
The aerial is missing or has been damaged
(for example while entering a car wash or
underground car park).
►


Have the aerial checked by a dealer
