Braking assistance systems
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking,
in particular on poor or slippery sur faces.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk of
wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself
felt by slight vibration of the brake pedal.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the instrument
panel screen, it indicates a fault with
the anti-lock braking system which could result
in loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the STOP and ABS
warning lamps, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
instrument panel screen, it indicates a fault with
the electronic brake force distribution which
could result in loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Emergency braking
assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you
to obtain the optimum braking pressure more
quickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake
pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency.
Group of supplementary systems which help
you to obtain optimum braking in complete
safety in emergency situations:
-

a

nti-lock braking system (ABS),
-

e

lectronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-

e

mergency braking assistance (EBA).
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.When braking in an emergency, press
firmly without releasing the pressure.
When braking in an emergency,
press very firmly without releasing
the

pressure.

Fuel tank
Capacity of the tank: approximately 71 litres*.
Low fuel level
When the minimum level
in the tank is reached, this
warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied
by an audible warning and a message in the
multifunction screen. When it first comes on,
there remains around 5 litres of fuel in the tank.
You must refuel to avoid running out of fuel.

While you are refuelling, the engine must be
stopped and the ignition switched off.
For a petrol engine with a catalytic
converter, unleaded fuel is compulsory.
Opening the fuel flap Refuelling
* 55 litres for Slovakia. Additions of fuel must be of at least
5 litres to be taken into account by the
fuel gauge.
The filler neck is narrower to ensure
that only unleaded petrol nozzles can
be put in.
Opening the filler cap may create a
noise of an inrush of air. This vacuum,
which is entirely normal, is caused by
the sealing of the fuel system.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when
braking.The 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 running speed
authorised.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.
Advice on installation
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 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 30 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.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:

225/60 V16 Maximum link
size: 9 mm
225/55 W17

battery
Access to the battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.
For access to it:
F
o

lever, then the exterior safety catch,
F

s
ecure the bonnet stay,
F

r
emove the plastic cover to gain access to
the two terminals,
F

The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specification;
the involvement of a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop is essential
when replacing or disconnecting the
battery.
After refitting the battery, the Stop &
Start system will only be active after a
continuous period of immobilisation of the
vehicle, a period which depends on the
climatic conditions and the state of charge
of the battery (up to about 8 hours).
Procedure for charging your battery when it is flat or for starting the engine using another battery.

switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute
before starting to permit initialisation
of the electronic systems. However, if
slight malfunctions remain following this
operation, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section,
you must yourself reinitialise:

Energy economy mode
System which manages the duration of use of
certain functions to conserve 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
headlamps,
courtesy lights, etc. for a maximum
combined duration of thirty minutes.Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically
next time the vehicle is driven.
F

I
n order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, start the engine and
let it run for a few minutes.
The time available will then be double the
duration for which the engine was left running.
However, this time will always be between five
and thirty minutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once the thirty minutes are over, a message
appears on the multi-function screen indicating
that the vehicle has switched to economy mode
and the active functions are put on standby.
A flat battery prevents the engine from
starting (refer to the corresponding
section).
This period may be significantly
reduced if the battery charge is low.
If the telephone is being used at this
time:
-

i
t will be maintained for five minutes
with hands-free kit of your Audio
system,
-

i
t will be maintained for ten minutes
with your eMyWay.

Towing a trailer
Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggage, but it may also be used for towing a trailer.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
Driving advice
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F

T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved
from the design stage of your vehicle,
and that the fitting of the towbar is
entrusted to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a
CITROËN dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Driving with a trailer places greater demands
on the towing vehicle and the driver must take
particular care.
Distribution of loads
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 per formance. Above
1
000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10
% for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to
your vehicle. F

I
f the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.

prevents opening of the bonnet while
the left hand front door is closed.
This operation must only be carried out
when the vehicle is stationary.
Avoid opening the bonnet in strong
winds.
When the engine is hot, handle the
safety catch and bonnet stay with care
(risk of burns).
be
cause of the presence of electrical
equipment under the bonnet, it is
recommended that exposure to water
(rain, washing, ...) be limited.

switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might
be caught by the fan blades.
