Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with
parking: it detects a
parking space then
operates the steering system to park in this
space.
With a
manual gearbox , the driver manages
the accelerator, brakes, gears and clutch.
With an automatic gearbox (EAT6/EAT8) , the
driver manages the accelerator, brakes and
gears.
During phases of entry into and exit from
a
parking space, the system provides visual
and audible information to the driver in order
to make the manoeuvres safe. It may be
necessary to move for wards and backwards
more than once. The driver can take control at any time by
gripping the steering wheel.
This manoeuvring assistance system
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must remain in control of their
vehicle ensuring that the space remains
clear throughout the manoeuvre.
In some circumstances, the sensors may
not detect small obstacles located in their
blind spots.
The Park Assist system cannot work with
the engine off.
A. Parallel parking.
B. Exit from a


parallel parking space.
C. Bay parking.
The Park Assist system provides assistance for
the following manoeuvres:

Driving

182
During manoeuvring phases, the steering
wheel per forms rapid turns: do not hold
the steering wheel, do not put your hands
between the spokes of the steering wheel.
Watch out for any object that could block
the manoeuvre (loose clothing, scar ves,
ties, etc.) - injury risk!
When the Park Assist is active, it prevents
the Stop & Start going into STOP mode.
In STOP mode, activating Park Assist
restarts the engine.
The Park Assist system takes control
of the assistance for a maximum of
4
manoeuvre cycles. The function is
deactivated after these 4
cycles. If you
think that your vehicle is not positioned
correctly, you should then take control of
the steering to carry out the manoeuvre. The sequence of manoeuvres and the
driving instructions are displayed in the
instrument panel.
You should always check the surroundings
of your vehicle before starting
a


manoeuvre.The parking sensors function is
not available during parking space
measurement. It intervenes later when
manoeuvring to warn you that your vehicle
is approaching an obstacle: the audible
signal becomes continuous when the
obstacle is less than thirty centimetres
away.
If you have deactivated the parking
sensors, they are automatically
reactivated during assisted parking
manoeuvres.
Activation of Park Assist deactivates the
Blind Spot Detection.

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 meeting standard
EN16709 can be used in your Diesel
engine. However, this use, even
occasional, requires strict application of
the special servicing 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 result in 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
Certain fuels could damage your vehicle's
engine.
In certain countries, the use of a particular
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
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 57 litres
(petrol) or 55 litres (Diesel).
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 lights
up orange.
When it first comes on there remains
approximately 6


litres of fuel in the tank.
Until sufficient fuel has been added, this
warning lamp appears every time the ignition
is switched on, accompanied by an audible
warning and a
message. This audible warning
and this message are repeated with increasing
frequency as the fuel level drops towards " 0".
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out.
Refilling
A self-adhesive label on the inner face of the
filler flap reminds you of the type of fuel to use,
depending on your engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5
litres, in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge. To refuel in complete safety:
F

Y
ou must switch off the engine.
F
W
ith the vehicle unlocked, press the rear
edge of the flap to open it (the filler cap is
a part of it).
F T ake care to select the pump that delivers
the correct type of fuel for your vehicle.
F

I
nsert the nozzle so as to push in the metal
non-return flap.
F

M
ake sure that the nozzle is pushed in as
far as possible before starting to refuel (risk
of blowback). If you are filling your tank to the top, do not
continue after the 3
rd cut- off of the nozzle;
this could cause malfunctions.
Your vehicle is fitted with a
catalytic converter,
a device which helps to reduce the level of
harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded
fuel.
The filler neck is narrower, allowing only
unleaded petrol nozzles to be introduced.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have the fuel
tank drained and filled with the correct
fuel before star ting the engine.
Fuel cut- of f
Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that
c uts off the supply of fuel in the event of an
impact.
Opening the filler flap may create a

noise
caused by an inrush of air. This is entirely
normal and results from the sealing of the fuel
system. F
H
old it in this position throughout the filling
operation.
F
P
ush the filler flap to close it.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
engine in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the "START/STOP"
button.

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
t he 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 fuel filler neck of a Diesel vehicle, 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.
Installation tips
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey,
stop the vehicle on a flat sur face on the side
of the road.
F

A
pply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of your vehicle.
F

F
it the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
F

M
ove off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 31
mph
(50


km/h).
F

S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
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.

Towing device
Load distribution
F Distribute 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.
Important : for versions equipped with
the motorised tailgate with "Hands-Free
Tailgate Access" function, if a towing
device other than a genuine CITROËN
one is installed, it is imperative to
visit a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to recalibrate the detection
system: risk of "Hands-Free Tailgate
Access" function failure.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid
functions are automatically disabled if an
approved towing system 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 (towball)
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.
