Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without waiting. During acceleration change up early.
With
an automatic or electronic gearbox, give preference to automatic
m
ode and avoid pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
Control the use of your electrical
equipment
Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it by opening the windows and air vents before using the air conditioning.
Above
30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows and leave the air vents
ope
n.
Remember
to make use of equipment that can help keep the
t
emperature in the passenger compartment down (sunroof and window
b
linds...).
Switch
off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic regulation, as
s
oon as the desired temperature is attained.
Switch
off the demisting and defrosting controls, if not automatic.
Switch
off the heated seat as soon as possible.
Switch
off the headlamps and front foglamps when the level of light
d
oes not require their use.
Avoid
running the engine before moving off, particularly in winter; your
v
ehicle will warm up much faster while driving.
As
a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices
(
film, music, video game...), you will contribute towards limiting the
c
onsumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect
your portable devices before leaving the vehicle.
Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather than the brake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. These
p
ractices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and
C
o
2 emissions and also helps reduce the background traffic noise.
I
f
your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds
a
bove 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well.
The
gear shift indicator invites you engage the most suitable gear: as
s
oon as the indication is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it
s
traight away.
For
vehicles fitted with an electronic or automatic gearbox, this
i
ndicator appears only in manual mode.

Maintenance
This system requires a 12 V battery with a special specification and technology (reference
n
umbers available from CITROËN dealers).
Fitting
a battery not listed by CITROËN
i
ntroduces the risk of malfunction of the
s
ystem.
For
charging, use a 12 V charger and do not
r
everse the polarity.

active cruise control
This systems allows, in addition to maintaining your vehicle's speed at a value that you
h
ave defined, the inter-vehicle time you have
s
elected between your vehicle and the one
a
head to be maintained.Principles of operation
Using a radar with a range of about 100 metres, located at the front of the vehicle, this system
d
etects a vehicle running in front of your
v
ehicle.
It
automatically adapts the speed of the vehicle
t
o that of the vehicle in front.
If
the vehicle in front is running more slowly,
t
he system progressively reduces the speed of
y
our vehicle using just engine braking (as if the
d
river had pressed the "-"
button).
If
your vehicle is too close to or approaching
t
oo quickly the vehicle in front, the cruise
c
ontrol is automatically deactivated. The
d
river is then alerted by an audible signal,
a
ccompanied by a message.
If
the vehicle in front accelerates or changes
l
ane, the active cruise control progressively
a
ccelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed
s
peed.
If
the driver operates a direction indicator to
t
he left (left hand drive) or the right (right hand
d
rive), to overtake a slower vehicle, the active
c
ruise control allows your vehicle to temporarily
a
pproach the vehicle in front to assist the
overtaking
ma
noeuvre,
t
hough
n
ever
e
xceeding
t
he programmed speed. The active cruise control operates by
day
and at night, in fog or in moderate
r
ainfall.
The system does not act on the braking system, but works only with engine braking.
The
regulation range is limited: there will
n
o longer be any adjustment of speed if the
d
ifference between the programmed speed
s
etting and the speed of the vehicle in front
b
ecomes too high (18 mph (30 km/h)).
The selection of this system deactivates the inter-vehicle time function.
If
the difference between the
p
rogrammed speed setting and the
s
peed of the vehicle in front is too
g
reat, the speed cannot be adjusted:
t
he cruise control is automatically
d
eactivated.Choice of the type of cruise control
If you want to use the standard cruise control, it is possible to deactivate the active cruise
control in the " Driving assistance "
menu of
t
he the touch screen tablet.
On
pressing the button, the green
i
ndicator lamp goes off.
The
standard cruise control is available.
Refer to the previous section for the
details
of the operation of the standard
c
ruise control.
This
is confirmed by the display of
t
his symbol in the control.
You can return to the active cruise
control
at any time by pressing this
bu
tton

The change from one level of alert to the next takes place if the driving
c
onditions do not change (speed
u
nchanged, no change of lane...)
Severe
weather conditions (very heavy
r
ain, accumulation of snow in front
o
f the radar) may inter fere with the
o
peration of the system, resulting in
t
he display of the message "System
inactive: Reduced visibility ".
The
s
ystem remains unavailable until the
m
essage
d
isappears.
If
the speed of your vehicle is too high
w
hen approaching another vehicle, the
f
irst level of alert may not be displayed:
t
he level 2 alert may be displayed
d
i r e c t l y.
On
the other hand, the level 1 alert
i
s never displayed with the triggering
t
hreshold 3 (close).
Alerts
According to the collision risk detected by the system and the alert threshold chosen, three
l
evels of alert can be triggered.
Level 1 :
visual alert only (orange)
i
ndicating that the vehicle in front is
v
ery close. The message "Vehicle
close "
is displayed.
Level 2 :
visual (red) and audible
a
lerts indicating that a collision is
i
mminent. The message "Brake! " is
displayed.
This
level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle
t
ime between your vehicle and the one in front.
This
level of alert is based on a time before
c
ollision. It takes account of the vehicle
d
ynamics, the speed of your vehicle and
t
he speed of the vehicle in front, the driving
c
onditions, the situation with your vehicle
(
cornering, pedals pressed, etc.) to trigger the
a
lert at the right moment. Level 3
: an increase in t
he tension of the driver's
s
eat belt, to hold the driver
a
gainst the backrest of their
sea
t.
The
3
rd level of alert is not triggered or i
s
interrupted in the event of an impact
b
etween the two vehicles.
The increase in the tension of the
driver's
seat belt is intended only as an
a
lert:
it
does not in any circumstances
a
ssure
the function of driver safety.
The
triggering of this alert does not act
o
n
the
safety functions provided by the
s
eat
belts.

Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with parking, detecting a parking space then
c
ontrolling the steering to park in the space.
It
controls the steering while the driver
m
anages the accelerator, brakes, gears and
c
lutch (manual gearbox). During phases of
e
ntry into and exit from a parking space, the
s
ystem provides visual and audible information
t
o the driver in order to make the manoeuvres
s
afe. It may be necessary to move for wards
a
nd backwards more than once. During
a manoeuvre the steering wheel
t
urns quickly: do not hold the steering
w
heel, do not place your hand between
t
he spokes of the steering wheel and
t
ake care with loose and bulky clothing,
s
carves, handbags... There is a risk of
in
jury.
When
Park Assist is activated, it
p
revents a change to STOP mode of
S
top & Start. In STOP mode, activation
o
f Park Assist restarts the engine.
The
Park Assist system cannot in any
c
ircumstances replace the need for
v
igilance on the part of the driver.
The
driver must remain in control
o
f their vehicle ensuring that the
s
pace remains clear throughout the
m
anoeuvre.
In
some circumstances, the sensors
m
ay not detect small obstacles located
i
n their blind spots.
The
driver can take control at any time by
g
ripping the steering wheel. The
Park Assist system provides assistance for t
he following manoeuvres:
-
e
ntry into a parallel parking space
-
e
xit from a parallel parking space
-
b
ay parkingThe
Park Assist system takes control
o
f the power steering for a maximum
o
f 4 manoeuvre cycles. The function
i
s deactivated after these 4 cycles.
I
f you think that your vehicle is not
p
ositioned correctly, you should then
t
ake control of the steering to carry out
t
he manoeuvre.
The
Park Assist system cannot work
