Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place
the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot,
as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer, etc.). Preferably, use a
roof box.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and
refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold,
referring to the label in the door aperture,
driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use.
Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan. Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, etc.) and
obser ve the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes
polluting. Visit a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop as soon as possible to
bring your vehicle's nitrogen oxides emissions
back in line with the regulations.
When refuelling, do not continue after the 3
rd
cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 1,900 miles (3,000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a consistent average.

Dynamic stability control (DSC)
and anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Operation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a
problem with grip or trajectory.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
As soon as they detect a problem of grip or
trajectory, these systems act on the operation
of the engine and brakes.This is indicated by this warning
lamp flashing in the instrument
panel.
Deactivating the ASR
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR system, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip. F

I
n the Driving/Vehicle
menu
of the touch screen, select the
" Driving functions " tab, then
" Traction control".
Or depending on version:
F
T
urn the "
Grip control" knob to
this position.
Deactivation is signalled by the
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by a message as
well as illumination of the knob
(depending on version).
The ASR system no longer acts on the
operation of the engine or the brakes in the
event of an involuntary change of trajectory.
Reactivating the ASR
The system is reactivated automatically each
time the ignition is switched back on or from
31 mph (50 km/h).
Below 31 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate it
manually: F

I
n the Driving/Vehicle
menu
of the touch screen, select the
" Driving functions " tab, then
" Traction control".
Or depending on version:
F
T
urn the "

Operating fault
The illumination of this warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message, indicates that
there is a fault with the system.
After an impact, have the system checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
This is indicated by this warning
lamp flashing in the instrument
panel. It is however recommended that the system be
reactivated as soon as possible.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.

All road (mud, damp grass,
etc.)
This mode, when moving off, allows
considerable spin on the wheel with the least
grip to optimise clearing of the mud and regain
grip. At the same time, the wheel with the most
grip is controlled in such a way as to pass as
much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully
as possible.
(mode active up to 31 mph (50 km/h))F

P
lace the knob in this position.
Sand
This mode allows little spin on the two driving
wheels at the same time to allow the vehicle to
move for ward and limit the risks of getting stuck
in the sand.
(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))F

P
lace the knob in this position.
Do not use the other modes on sand as
the vehicle may become stuck. You can deactivate the ASR
and DSC systems by turning
the knob to the "
OFF" position.
The ASR and DSC systems will no longer
have an effect on engine operation or
the brakes in the event of an involuntary
change of trajectory.
These systems are reactivated
automatically from 31 mph (50 km/h) or
every time the ignition is switched on.
Driving recommendations
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to
occasionally drive on other less passable
terrain.
However, it does not permit off-road
driving such as:
- c rossing and driving on terrain which
could damage the underbody or strip
away components (fuel pipe, fuel
cooler, etc.) due to obstacles or stones
in particular,
-

d
riving on terrain with steep gradients
and poor grip,
-

c
rossing a stream.
Seat belts
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a
pretensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat
belts against the body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of
the seat belt on the occupant's chest, thus
improving their protection.

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

157
If a pressure of 2 bars is not reached after
7 minutes, this indicates that the tyre is
not repairable; contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop for assistance.
F

O
nce the correct pressure is reached, put
the switch to the " O" position.
F

R
emove the kit then stow it. Do not drive more than 125 miles (200 km)
with the repaired tyre; see a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop to change
the tyre.
Should the pressure of one or more tyres
be adjusted, it is necessary to reinitialise
the under-inflation detection system.
For more information on Tyre under-
inflation detection
, refer to the
corresponding section.
