Automatic illumination of
lamps
With the lighting control stalk in the “ AUTO”
position and if a low level of exterior brightness
is detected by the rain/sunshine sensor, the
sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are
switched on automatically, without any action on
the part of the driver. They may also come on if
rain is detected, at the same time as automatic
operation of the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to a sufficient
level or after the windscreen wipers are switched
off, the lamps are switched off automatically.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction of the rain/
sunshine sensor, the vehicle’s lamps
come on and this warning lamp is displayed on
the instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and/or the display of a message.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Do not cover the rain/sunshine sensor
located at the top centre of the
windscreen behind the interior rear view
mirror; the associated functions would no
longer be controlled.
In fog or snow, the rain/sunshine sensor
may detect sufficient light. For this
reason, the lighting will not come on
automatically.
The inner surface of the windscreen may become misted up and affect the proper
operation of the rain/sunshine sensor.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.

Safety
5Lateral airbags
Use only approved seat covers
compatible with the deployment of these
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, contact a
CITROËN dealer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backrests (e.g.
clothing) as this could cause
injuries to the chest or arm when the airbag is
deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.
The vehicle's front door panels include side
impact sensors.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or
incorrectly executed work (modification or
repair) on the front doors or their interior trim
could compromise the operation of these
sensors - risk of malfunction of the lateral
airbags!
All work must be carried out only by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof,
as this could cause head injuries when the
curtain airbag is deployed.
Do not remove the grab handles installed on
the roof.
Active bonnet
(Depending on version.)
The active bonnet has been designed to
optimise the safety of pedestrians in the event of
collision with the front of the vehicle.
The pyrotechnic system is triggered at the
hinges of the bonnet to lift it, when the sensors
located at the front of the vehicle detect a
collision.
Deployment of the active bonnet is
accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system. The airbag
warning lamp comes on.
After triggering, do not try to open or close
the bonnet. Call a towing company or go to
the nearest CITROËN dealer or qualified
workshop, driving at a speed below 19 mph
(30
km/h).
Make sure that you adjust the height of the
driver's seat - risk of hindrance to visibility!
This equipment will only trigger once. If a second impact occurs (during the same
or a subsequent accident), the active bonnet
will not trigger.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen, have the system checked.
Do not tamper with the pyrotechnic systems
under the bonnet, close to the struts - risk of
explosion!
All work must be carried out only by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal. You must contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
The active bonnet may not deploy in the event of
an impact.
Child seats
The legislation on carrying children is specific to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country.

These rings are located behind zips.
The 2 latches on ISOFIX child seats are
secured to them.
–
One ring
B, located behind the seat, called the
TOP TETHER, for attaching seats fitted with an
upper strap.
This system prevents the child seat from tipping
forwards in the event of a front impact.
This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in the
vehicle.
To secure the child seat to the TOP TETHER:
►
Remove and stow the head restraint before
installing the child seat on this seat (refit it once
the child seat has been removed).
► Pass the strap of the child seat behind the
seat backrest, centring it between the openings
for the head restraint rods.
►
Secure the upper strap hook to ring
B
.
►
T
ighten the upper strap.
When fitting an ISOFIX child seat to the
left-hand rear seat of the bench seat,
before fitting the seat, first move the centre
rear seat belt towards the middle of the
vehicle, so as to avoid the seat interfering
with the operation of the seat belt.
An incorrectly installed child seat in a vehicle compromises the child's safety in
the event of an accident.
Strictly observe the fitting instructions
provided in the user guide supplied with the
child seat.
For information about the options for
fitting ISOFIX child seats in your vehicle,
refer to the summary table.
Recommended ISOFIX child seats
Also consult the user guide from the child seat’s manufacturer to find out how to
install and remove the seat.

Driving
6Towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
particular care must be taken.
Do not exceed the maximum towable
weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the lower
air density at high altitudes decreases engine
performance.
New vehicle: do not tow a trailer until the
vehicle has driven at least 620 miles
(1,000 kilometres).
If the outside temperature is high, let the
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to the
axle and the nose weight (at the point where it
joins your vehicle) approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
Tyres
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer , observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
► Check the electrical signalling on the trailer
and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
If a genuine CITROËN towing device is
used, the rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the audible
signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill causes the coolant
temperature to increase. The maximum towable
load depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not
increase with engine speed.
►
Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to
limit the amount of heating produced.
►
Pay constant attention to the coolant
temperature.
If this warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as
possible.
Brakes
Using the engine brake is recommended to limit
the overheating of the brakes. Braking distances
are increased when towing a trailer.
Side wind
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more
susceptible to wind when towing.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys contain a code, which must be
recognised by the vehicle before starting is
possible.
If the system malfunctions, indicated by the
display of a message, the engine will not start.
Contact a CITROËN dealer.
Starting/Switching off the
engine with Keyless Entry
and Starting
The electronic key must be present in the passenger compartment.
If the electronic key is not detected, a
message is displayed.
Move the electronic key so that the engine
can be started or switched off.

6Deactivation/Activation
By default, the system is automatically activated
at every engine start.
It is configured in the ADAS touch screen
application.
Deactivation of the system is signalled by
the illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a message.
Operating conditions and
limits
Vehicle moving forward without trailer.
Brake system operational.
ASR / ESP system activated.
Seat belts fastened for all passengers.
Stabilised speed on roads with no or low
curvature.
This warning lamp lights up on the instrument panel without any additional
message, to indicate that the “automatic braking
system” is not available. This is a normal
behavior indicating that a condition is not fulfilled
and which does not request the support of a
workshop.
In any situations with ignition on where automatic
braking presents a risk, deactivating the
system via ADAS touch screen application is
recommended, for instance:
–
T
owing a trailer (particularly a trailer without its
own braking system).
–
Carrying long objects on roof bars.
–
Driving with snow chains.
– Using an automatic car wash.
– Performing any maintenance (e.g. changing a
wheel, working underhood).
–
Placing the vehicle on a rolling bench in a
workshop.
–
T
owing the vehicle.
–
Following a front bumper deformation (version
with radar).
–
Following
an impact to the windscreen close to
the detection camera.
The system is automatically deactivated if:
–
A
spare wheel with a too small diameter is
detected.
–
A
fault with the brake pedal switch or with
the right or left brake lamp is detected.
–
A
fault in the sensors, in the electronic or in
the brake system is detected.
–
A
trailer is detected by the equipped vehicle
hitch (with an electrical connection plug).
The system diagnoses permanently its capability and may inhibit itself without
specific driver indication, if the system is
outside of the regular operating conditions.
Examples: sensor initialization, board voltage
out of regular range, activation of stability
system…
Therefore the system may not be available
just after starting the vehicle.
It can be dangerous to drive if the brake
lamps are not in perfect working order.
The driver must not load his vehicle excessively (respect of MTAC values,
MTRA values and loading height on roof
bars).
Following an impact (e.g. a collision), the
system is automatically deactivated.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Collision Risk Alert
This function warns the driver if there is a risk
of collision with the preceding vehicle, or with a
pedestrian or cyclist.
Modifying the alert trigger threshold
The trigger threshold determines the sensitivity
with which the function warns of the risk of
collision.
It is configured in the ADAS touch screen
application.
►
Select one of the 3 preset thresholds: “ Far
”,
“Medium” or “Near”.
The selected threshold is memorised when the
ignition is switched off.
Operation
Depending on the collision risk detected by the
system and the alert trigger threshold chosen

Practical information
– The towball must not be able to move in
its carrier; test by attempting to shake it with
your hand.
If the towball is not locked, the trailer can
become detached - risk of an accident!
During use
Never release the locking system with a
trailer or load carrier on the towball.
Never exceed the maximum authorised
weight for the vehicle - the Gross Train
Weight or GTW.
Always comply with the maximum authorised
load on the towing device: if it is exceeded,
this device may become detached from the
vehicle - risk of an accident!
Before driving, check the headlamp height
adjustment and check that the lamps on the
trailer operate correctly.
For more information on Headlamp height
adjustment, refer to the corresponding
section.
After use
When travelling without a trailer or
load carrier, remove the towball and fit the
protective plug into the carrier, to provide
clear visibility of the number plate and/or its
lighting.
Fitting the towball
► Below the rear bumper , remove the protective
plug 2 from the carrier 1.
►
Insert the end of the towball
5 into the carrier
1 and push it upwards; it will lock into position
automatically.
► The wheel 6 rotates a quarter turn anti-
clockwise; take care to keep your hands clear!
► Check that the mechanism has correctly
locked into place and that the green mark on
the wheel is aligned with the white mark on the
towball (position A
).
►
Close the lock 7
using the key.
►
Remove the key
. The key cannot be removed
while the lock is open.
►
Lower the cap to protect the lock.
Page 156 of 228
154
Practical information
► Replace the protective plug 2 into the
carrier 1.
►
Stow the towball in its bag to protect it from
knocks and dirt.
Maintenance
Correct operation is only possible if the towball
and its carrier are kept clean.
Before cleaning the vehicle with a high-pressure
jet wash, the towball must be removed and the
protective plug fitted to the carrier.
Work on the towing device
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Roof bars
As a safety measure and to avoid damaging the roof, it is essential to use
transverse roof bars approved for your
vehicle.
Observe the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the roof
bars.
Maximum load distributed over the
transverse roof bars, for a loading height
not exceeding 40 cm (except bicycle carrier):
80 kg.
As this value may change, please verify the
maximum load quoted in the guide supplied
with the roof bars.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the speed
of the vehicle to the profile of the road to
avoid damaging the roof bars and the fixings
on the vehicle.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in order
to comply with the regulations for transporting
objects that are longer than the vehicle.
Fitting on longitudinal bars
The transverse bars must be fixed at the
markings located on the longitudinal bars.
Fitting directly to the roof
You must only attach the transverse bars to
the four fixing points located on the roof frame.
These points are concealed by the vehicle doors
when the doors are closed.
The roof bar fixings have a stud which must be
inserted into the opening of each fixing point.
Recommendations
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care
to avoid overloading one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as close
as possible to the roof.
Secure the load firmly.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds and its
stability may be affected.
Regularly check the security and tight
fastening of the roof bars, at least before each
trip.
