Never select position N while the vehicle
is moving. If position N is selected by
mistake while driving, allow the engine
to return to idle, then select position D to
accelerate.
Never select position P or R unless the
vehicle is completely stationary.
If you wish to engage reverse gear,
to prevent jolting, do not accelerate
immediately after selecting R.
Selection of position R is accompanied by
the sound of a
beep.
In the event of a
battery failure, you
must place the chocks supplied with the
vehicle tools against one of the wheels to
immobilise the vehicle.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,
never try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.Automatic mode
F Select position D .
D and the gear engaged appear in the
instrument panel.
The gearbox operates in auto-adaptive mode,
without any action by the driver. It continuously
selects the gear best suited to the following
parameters:

ehicle load.
For maximum acceleration without touching
the selector, press the accelerator fully down
(kick-down). The gearbox changes down
automatically or holds the gear selected until
the maximum engine speed is reached.
When braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide effective engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the
gearbox will not change to a
higher gear for
safety reasons.
Temporary control of gear
changing
You can temporarily take control of gear
changes using the steering mounted control
paddles " +" and " -". The gear change
instruction is acted on if the engine speed
permits.
This function allows you to anticipate certain
situations, such as overtaking another vehicle
or approaching a
bend in the road.
After a
few moments with no action on the
control paddles, the gearbox returns to
automatic operation.
Manual mode
F Select position M .
F U se the steering mounted control paddles
" + " and " -" to change gears.
The gears engaged are displayed in sequence
in the instrument panel.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving very
slowly, the gearbox automatically selects gear 1 .

The information appears in the
instrument panel in the form of an
ar row.
With a
manual gearbox, the arrow may be
accompanied by the gear recommended.
This arrow may be pointing up or down,
depending on the context.
The system adapts its gear efficiency
recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the
driver's requirements (power, acceleration,
b r a k i n g , e t c .) .
The system never suggests:
-
e

ngaging first gear,

ging reverse gear.
Stop & Start
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or
other, etc.). The engine restarts automatically –
START mode – as soon as you wish to move off
again.
Restarting occurs instantaneously, quickly and
silently.

If your vehicle is fitted with this system, a time
counter calculates the sum of the periods in
STOP mode during a
journey. It resets to zero
every time the ignition is switched on with the
"START/STOP" button. For your convenience, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available
for a
few seconds after coming out of
reverse gear.
The Stop & Start system does not modify
the vehicle's functions, such as, for
example, braking, power steering, etc.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition with
the "START/STOP" button.

This check should be done 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, add 0.3
bar (30 kPa) to the
values indicated on the label.

(depending on equipment).
The alert is kept 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. Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Reinitialisation of the system is done on the
touch screen, with the ignition on and the
vehicle stationary.

Speed limiter "LIMIT"
System which prevents the
vehicle from exceeding the speed
programmed by the driver.
Once the programmed speed limit is reached,
additional pressure on the accelerator pedal
has no effect.
Operation of the speed limiter requires
a

programmed speed of at least 19 mph
(30


km/h).
The speed limiter is paused using the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly
beyond the point of resistance.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal until the set
speed limit has been reached again.
The programmed speed remains in the system
memory when the ignition is switched off.
The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need to obser ve speed limits, nor can it
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.

The adaptive cruise control uses only
engine braking to slow the vehicle.
Consequently the vehicle loses speed
slowly, as when releasing the accelerator
pedal.
The regulation range is limited: there will
no longer be any adjustment of speed if the
difference between the programmed speed
setting and the speed of the vehicle in front
becomes too high (19 mph (30 km/h)).
If the difference between the programmed
speed setting and the speed of the
vehicle in front is too great, the speed
cannot be adjusted: the cruise control is
automatically deactivated.
General information
The adaptive cruise control is switched on
manually, it requires the speed of the vehicle
to be between 25
mph (40 km/h) and 93 mph
(150


km/h) and the engagement of:
-

t
hird gear or higher with a manual gearbox,
-

s
econd gear in manual mode with an
automatic gearbox,
-
position D with an automatic gearbox. If the cruise speed setting is above
93
mph (150 km/h), the adaptive cruise
control switches to standard cruise control
mode, without automatic regulation of the
inter-vehicle safety distance (a message
appears in the instrument panel).
The adaptive cruise control cannot in any
circumstances replace the obser vation of
speed limits, nor the need for the vigilance
on the part of the driver.
It is recommended that you always keep
your feet close to the pedals.
The adaptive cruise control can be paused
manually or automatically:

Driving

158
Primarily designed for driving on main
roads and motor ways, this system only
works on moving vehicles, driving in the
same direction as your vehicle.
Principle of operation
The system automatically adapts the speed of
your vehicle to that of the vehicle in front, to
maintain a


constant distance.
If the vehicle in front is driving more slowly, the
system slows or even stops your vehicle, using
engine braking and the braking system (for
versions fitted with an automatic gearbox).
If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes
lane, the cruise control progressively
accelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed speed.
If the driver operates a
direction indicator to
overtake a
slower vehicle, the cruise control
allows your vehicle to temporarily approach
the vehicle in front to assist the overtaking
manoeuvre, though never exceeding the
programmed speed.
The brake lamps illuminate as soon as
the braking system is activated with
deceleration of the vehicle. This system is a
driving aid that cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the need to
obser ve speed limits and safety distances,
nor the need for vigilance on the part of
the driver.
Some vehicles present on the road may
not be properly seen or may be poorly
interpreted by the camera and/or radar
(e.g. a lorry), which may lead to a poor
assessment of the distances and lead to
the vehicle inappropriately accelerating or
braking.
The driver must be ready at all times
to retake control of their vehicle by
permanently holding both hands on the
steering wheel and keeping their feet near
the brake and accelerator pedals.

The driver can maintain control of the
vehicle at any time by sharply turning
the steering wheel and/or pressing 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.
Malfunction
In the event of a fault with the
s ystem, you are alerted by the
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of
a


message and an audible signal.
Lane Departure Warning
System
Using a camera located at the top of the
w indscreen to identify lane markings on the
ground, the system corrects the trajectory of
the vehicle while alerting the driver if it detects
a
risk of involuntary crossing of a line.
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.
Conditions for operation
The speed of the vehicle must be between
40 mph and 112 mph (65 km/h and 180 km/h).
The driver must hold the steering wheel with
both hands.
The change of trajectory must not be
accompanied by operation of the direction
indicators.
The ESC system must be activated and fault-
free. This system is a
driving aid that cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the
driver's own vigilance. The driver must
remain in control of the vehicle under all
circumstances.
The system helps the driver only when
there is a risk of the vehicle involuntarily
wandering from the lane it is being driven
in. It does not manage the safe driving
distance, the speed of the vehicle or the
brakes.
The driver must hold the steering wheel
with both hands in a way that allows
control to be maintained in circumstances
where the system is not able to inter vene
(if lane markings disappear, for example).
It is necessary to obser ve the driving
regulations and take a break every two
hours.Operation
Once the system identifies a risk of the vehicle
i nvoluntarily crossing one of the lane markings
detected, it makes the correction to the
trajectory required to return the vehicle to its
initial path.
The driver will notice a
turning movement of the
steering wheel.
This warning lamp flashes during
trajectory correction.
Contact a

CITROËN dealer or a

qualified
workshop to have the system checked.

This system is a visual aid that cannot in
a ny circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The images provided by the camera(s)
may be distorted by the relief. The
presence of areas in shadow, bright
sunlight, or poor lighting conditions may
make the image dark and reduce contrast.
Forward vision
The camera situated on the front bumper is
activated and the views of the area to the
front left and the area to the front right of your
vehicle appear simultaneously in the instrument
panel.
Rear vision
The camera situated on the tailgate is activated
and the view of the area behind your vehicle is
displayed in the instrument panel and behaves
as a
reversing camera, regardless of the
position of the gear selector.
The blue outline represents the width of
your vehicle (without mirrors): its orientation
depends on the position of the steering wheel.
The red line represents the distance of 30 cm)
from the rear bumper and the two green lines
the distances of 1 m and 2 m respectively from
the rear bumper.
The rear vision is displayed automatically
when reverse gear is engaged, regardless
of the state of the system.
Vision 360
The cameras situated on the front and rear
bumpers as well as those below the door
mirrors activate and a view from above of your
vehicle in its close environment is generated
and is displayed in the instrument panel.
Opening a door or the tailgate will disrupt the
3 60 and rear views.
Installation of the very cold climate screen will
alter the image transmitted by the front camera.
