Parking space search
F You should drive at a distance of between 0.50 m and 1.50 m from the row of parked
vehicles, without ever exceeding 19 mph
(30 km/h), until the system finds an available
space.
The parking space search stops over this limit.
The function automatically deactivates once
the vehicle speed exceeds 31 mph (50 km/h).
For "parallel" parking, the space must at
a minimum be equal to the length of your
vehicle plus 0.60 m.
For "bay" parking, the width of the space
must be equal to the width of your vehicle
plus 0.70 m.
If the parking sensors function has been
deactivated in the Driving/Vehicle menu
of the touch screen, it will be automatically
reactivated when the system is activated. When the system finds an available space,
"
OK " is displayed on the parking view,
accompanied by an audible signal.
Preparing for the manoeuvre

Recommendations on care
- Regularly check that the sensors and cameras are clean.
If necessary, clean the camera lenses with
a soft, dry cloth.
-

I
f using a high-pressure washer, do not
direct the lance less than 30 cm from the
sensors and cameras.
-

I
n bad weather, or during the winter, ensure
that the sensors and cameras are not
covered with mud, ice or snow.
Operating faults
When the function is not activated,
the button warning lamp flashing
and an audible signal indicates a
system fault.
If the fault occurs during the use of the system,
the warning lamp goes off.
If the fault in the parking sensors,
indicated by this warning lamp
coming on, occurs during use, it
causes the function to deactivate.
In the event of a fault, have the system checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. In the event of a fault with the
power steering, this warning lamp
flashes in the instrument panel,
accompanied by a message.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Tyre under-inflation
detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, as soon as the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised after ever y tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change .
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres. The tyre under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
This system still requires you to check the
tyre inflation pressure (including the spare
wheel) every month as well as before a
long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes premature tyre wear, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section.
Driving

133
Tyre pressures should be checked when
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1 hour or after a journey of less than
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to the
pressures shown on the label.
Under-inflation alert
This warning is indicated by
continuous illumination of this lamp,
an audible signal and a message
displayed on the screen.
F

R

educe speed immediately, avoid excessive
steering movements and sudden braking.
F

S

top as soon as it is safe to do so.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on a simple visual check. F

I
f you have a compressor (such as the
one in the temporary puncture repair kit),
check the pressures of the four tyres when
cold. If it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
or
F
I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).
The warning remains active until the
system is reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressures of one or more
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels. Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use
of the vehicle and conform to the
recommendations on the tyre pressure
label.
The under-inflation alert can only be relied
on if the reinitialisation of the system has
been done with the pressures in the four
tyres correctly adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
Reinitialisation of the system is done via the
touch screen, with the ignition on and the
vehicle stationary .
F I n the Driving/Vehicle menu,
select the " Driving functions "
tab, then " Reset under-
inflation detection ".
F

Sel
ect "Ye s" to confirm.
The reinitialisation is confirmed by the display
of a message and an audible signal.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.

Driving

134
The under-inflation alert can only be relied
on if the reinitialisation of the system has
been done with the pressures in the four
tyres correctly adjusted.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning lamp accompanied
by illumination of the Ser vice warning lamp
indicates a fault in the system.
In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer assured.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.After carrying out any work on the system,
the pressures of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.

Compatibility of fuels
Fuel used for petrol engines
The petrol engines are compatible with biofuels
that conform to current and future European
standards and which can be obtained from
filling stations:Petrol that meets standard EN228,
mixed with a biofuel that meets
standard EN15376.
The only petrol additives authorised for
use are those that meet the B715001
standard.
Fuel used for Diesel
engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with
biofuels that conform to current and future
European standards and which can be
obtained from filling stations: Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN16734 mixed with a biofuel that
meets standard EN14214 (possibly
containing up to 10% Fatty Acid Methyl
Ester),
Paraffinic Diesel fuel that meets
standard EN15940 mixed with a biofuel
that meets standard EN14214 (possibly
containing up to 7% Fatty Acid Methyl
Ester).
B20 or B30 fuel that meets the standard
EN16709 can be used with your Diesel
engine. However, the use of this
fuel, even occasional, requires strict
application of the special ser vicing
conditions referred to as "Arduous
conditions".
For more information, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN590 mixed with a biofuel that meets
standard EN14214 (possibly containing
up to 7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester), The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel, etc.) is strictly prohibited
(risk of damage to the engine and fuel
syste m). The only Diesel additives authorised for
use are those that meet the B715000
standard.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0°C (+32°F), the
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel
fuels could entail an abnormal operation
of the fuel supply circuit. To avoid this, we
recommend using winter-type Diesel fuel and
keeping the fuel tank more than 50% full.
If, despite this, at temperatures below -15°C
(+5°F) the engine has problems starting,
just leave the vehicle in a garage or heated
workshop for a little while.
Travelling abroad
Cer tain fuels could damage the engine of
your vehicle.
In cer tain countries, the use of a par ticular
fuel may be required (specific octane
rating, specific trade name, etc.) to ensure
correct operation of the engine.
For any additional information, contact a dealer.

Fuel tank
Tank capacity:
- Pe trol: approximately 50 litres.
-

D
iesel: approximately 45 or 50 litres
(depending on version).
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have the tank
drained and refilled with the correct
fuel before you star t the engine.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached,
this warning lamp in the instrument
panel comes on, accompanied by
an audible warning, a message and
the last bar of the fuel gauge flashes
in red.
When it first comes on, about 5 litres of fuel
remain in the tank.
Until sufficient fuel has been added, this
warning lamp appears every time the ignition
is switched on, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message. This audible warning
and message are repeated with increasing
frequency as the fuel level drops towards " 0".
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out. For more information on Running out of
fuel (Diesel)
, refer to the corresponding
section.
Refilling
A label on the inside of the fuel filler flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to use,
depending on your engine type.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres, in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may create a noise
caused by an inrush of air. This is entirely
normal and results from the sealing of the fuel
system.
To refuel in complete safety:
F

Y
ou must switch off the engine. F

Practical information

138
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start,
never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
using the key, or the START/STOP button
if your vehicle has
K
eyless Entry and
Starting.
Fuel cut- of f
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a
collision.
Misfuel prevention
(Diesel)
(Depending on the country of sale.)
Mechanical device which prevents filling the
tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It helps
avoid the risk of engine damage that can result
from filling with the wrong fuel.
Operation
It remains possible to use a fuel can to fill
the tank.
In order to ensure a good flow of fuel,
do not place the nozzle of the fuel can in
direct contact with the flap of the misfuel
prevention device and pour slowly. Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may make
refuelling impossible.
Not all Diesel vehicles are fitted with
misfuel protection, so before travelling
abroad, we recommend that you check
with the CITROËN dealer network whether
your vehicle is suitable for the fuel pumps
in the country in which you intend to travel.
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
Diesel tank, it comes into contact with the flap.
The system remains closed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.
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.
Take account of the legislation in force in
your country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed.
