Collision Risk Alert and
Active Safety Brake
Activation and operating
conditions
The system is activated from 3 mph (5 km/h).
It takes account of:
-
r
egistered vehicles running in the same
direction or stationary,
-

p
edestrians in the traffic lane (bicycles,
motorcycles, animals and objects on the
road are not necessarily detected).
This system is designed to assist the
driver and improve road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to
continuously monitor the state of the
traffic, observing the driving regulations.
This system does not avoid the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
As soon as the system detects a potential
obstacle, it prepares the braking circuit in
case automatic braking is needed. This
may cause a slight noise and a slight
sensation of deceleration.
This system is a driving aid that includes three
functions.
Collision Risk Alert:
it warns the driver if their
vehicle is at risk of collision with the vehicle in
front or a pedestrian present in their traffic lane.
Intelligent emergency braking assistance :
it supplements the braking action taken by the
driver if this is inadequate.
Active Safety Brake: it intervenes following
the alert if the driver does not react quickly
enough and does not operate the vehicle's
brakes.
If the driver fails to act, it contributes
towards avoiding a collision or limiting
its severity by reducing the speed of your
vehicle.
The vehicle has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen. In the following cases, deactivating the
system via the vehicle's configuration menu is
recommended:
-
w hen towing a trailer,
- w hen carrying long objects on roof bars or a
roof rack,
-

b
efore using an automatic car wash, with
the engine running,
-

b
efore placing the vehicle on a rolling stand
in a workshop,
-

w
hen the vehicle is being towed, with the
engine running,
-

w
hen a "space-saver" type spare wheel is
fitted (depending on version),
-
fo

llowing impact damage to the windscreen
close to the detection camera,
-

i
f the brake lamps are not working.It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
Consequently, always stay alert and be
prepared to react at any time to avoid an
accident.
Operating limits

Driving

119
If the camera has confirmed
the presence of a vehicle or a
pedestrian, this warning lamp
flashes once the function is acting
on the vehicle's brakes.
Important: if operation of the
automatic emergency braking is
triggered, you should take back
control of your vehicle and brake
with the pedal to add to or finish the
automatic braking action.
The driver can take back control of the vehicle
at any time by sharply turning the steering
wheel and/or pressing the accelerator pedal.
The point at which braking is triggered
may be adjusted depending on the driving
actions of the driver, such as movement
of the steering wheel or actions on the
accelerator pedal.
Operation of the function may be felt by
slight vibration in the brake pedal.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
the automatic braking is maintained for 1
to 2 seconds. With a manual gearbox, in the event of
automatic emergency braking until the
vehicle comes to a complete stop, the
engine may stall.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox,
in the event of automatic emergency
braking until the vehicle comes to a
complete stop, keep the brake pedal
pressed down to prevent the vehicle from
starting off again.
Specific conditions for operation
The vehicle's speed must be between 3 mph
and 53 mph (5 km/h and 85 km/h) when a
moving vehicle is detected.
The vehicle's speed must not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h) when a stopped vehicle is detected.
The vehicle's speed must not exceed 37 mph
(60 km/h) when a pedestrian is detected.
The ESC system must not be faulty.
The ASR system must not be deactivated.
All passenger seat belts must be fastened.
Sporty driving or driving on winding roads may
impede the function.
After an impact, the function automatically
stops operating. Consult a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
Deactivation/Activation
By default, the system is automatically
activated at every engine start-up. Deactivation of the system is
signalled by the illumination of this
indicator lamp, accompanied by the
display of a message.
F

I
n the Driving/Vehicle menu
of the touch screen, select the
" Vehicle settings " tab then
" Safety " and activate/deactivate
" Collision risk and auto
braking ".
The camera may be disrupted or not work
in the following situations:
-

p
oor visibility (inadequate street
lighting, falling snow, heavy rain, dense
f o g , e t c .),
-

d
azzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp
road, leaving a tunnel, alternating
shade and light, etc.),
-

c
amera obstructed (mud, frost, snow,
condensation, etc.).
On versions with camera alone, this
message indicates to you that the camera
is obstructed: " Driving aids camera:
visibility limited, see user guide ".
In these situations, detection performance
may be reduced.
Using the camera, this function acts on the
vehicle's braking system.

During the manoeuvre
The system takes over the vehicle's steering. It
gives instructions on the manoeuvring direction
when starting the entry and exit parallel parking
manoeuvres and for all entry manoeuvres for
bay parking."Reverse "
" Advance "
There instructions are displayed as a symbol
accompanied by a message:
The manoeuvring status is indicated by these
symbols:
5 mph or 7 km/h, for parking space
e nt r y. Manoeuvre in progress (green).
Manoeuvre cancelled or finished
(red) (the arrows indicate that the
driver must take back control of their
vehicle).
The maximum speed limit indications during
the manoeuvres are signalled by these
symbols: During a manoeuvre the steering wheel
rotates rapidly: do not hold the steering
wheel nor place your hand between the
spokes of the steering wheel. Watch out
for anything likely to block the manoeuvre
(loose and bulky clothing, scar ves, ties,
etc.) – Risks of injury!
It is the driver's responsibility to monitor
the state of the traffic continuously,
especially vehicles coming towards you.
The driver should check that no object
or person can hinder the advance of the
vehicle.
The images from the camera(s) displayed
on the touch screen may be distorted by
the relief.
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and
be of lower contrast.
The manoeuvre can be interrupted definitively
at any time, either by the action of the driver or
automatically by the system. By the action of the driver:

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

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.

It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the
road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fixings is in contact with the
wheel rim. Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Very cold climate screens
Removable protective screens which prevent
the accumulation of snow at the radiator
cooling fan.
Before fitting or removing a screen,
ensure that the engine is off and the
cooling fan has stopped.
It is recommended that the screens be
fitted and removed by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.

Towing device
Load distribution
F D istribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without exceeding
it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. The maximum
towed load must be reduced by 10
% for every
1,000 metres of altitude.
Use towing devices and their genuine
harnesses approved by CITROËN. It is
recommended that the installation be
per formed by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the towing device is not fitted by
a CITROËN dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid
functions are automatically disabled if an
approved towing device is used. Obser ve the maximum authorised towable
weight, indicated on your vehicle's
registration certificate, the manufacturer's
label as well as in the Technical data

section of this guide.
Complying with the maximum
authorised nose weight (ball joint)
also includes the use of accessories
(bicycle carriers, tow boxes, etc.).
Obser ve the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving.
Remove the quickly detachable towball
when not towing a trailer.
Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain functions, such as air conditioning,
heated rear screen, etc.
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
Energy economy mode
System which manages the duration of use of
certain functions to conser ve a sufficient level
of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use
functions such as the audio and telematics
system,
windscreen wipers, dipped beam
headlamps,
courtesy lamps, etc. for a
maximum combined duration of about forty
minutes.
Entering the mode
A message appears on the touch screen
indicating that the vehicle has switched to
