Maintenance
Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and
the field of vision of the cameras regularly.
When washing your vehicle at high
pressure, direct the spray from at least
30 cm away from the radar, sensors and
cameras.
Mats
The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with the operation
of the speed limiter or cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
F

e
nsure that the mat is secured
c o r r e c t l y,
F

n
ever fit one mat on top of another.Speed Limit recognition
and recommendation
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
This system displays the maximum authorised
speed in the instrument panel, according to
the speed limits in the country in which you are
driving, using:
-

S
peed limit signs detected by the camera.
-

S
peed limit details from the navigation
system mapping.
You should update your navigation
mapping regularly in order to receive
accurate speed limit information from the
system.

S
igns detected by the camera indicating the
area of a
junction:
Sensors
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed displayed
on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are
those for the country you are driving in.
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is
stationary, set the display to the required
units of speed so that it complies with
what is authorised locally.
In case of doubt, contact a

CITROËN
dealer or a

qualified workshop.
The operation of the sensors as well as
the associated functions may be disturbed
by sound inter ference such as those
emitted by noisy vehicles and machinery
(e.g. lorries, pneumatic drills), by the
accumulation of snow or dead leaves
on the road or in the event of damaged
bumpers and mirrors.
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensors' settings, which is not
always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be distorted.
The sensors do not detect obstacles that
are too low (pavements, studs) or too thin
(trees, posts, wire fences).
Certain obstacles located in the sensors'
blind spots may not be detected or may no
longer be detected during the manoeuvre.
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.

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.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle: Original tyre size Maximum link size

Fitting roof bars
As a safety measure and to avoid
d amaging the roof, it is essential to use
the transverse bars approved for your
vehicle.
Obser ve the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the
roof bars.
Sunroof
Check that the load does not pass below
the roof bars so that it does not impede
the movements of the sunroof.
Recommendations
F

D
istribute the load uniformly, taking
care to avoid overloading one of the
sides.
F

A
rrange the heaviest part of the load
as close as possible to the roof.
F

S
ecure the load firmly and fit a warning
flag if the load overhangs the vehicle.
F

D
rive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds
(stability may be affected).
F

R
emove the roof bars once they are no
longer needed. Maximum load distributed over the
transverse roof bars, for a
loading height
not exceeding 40 cm (except bicycle
carrier): 75 kg.
As this value may change, please verify
the maximum load quoted on 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 which are longer than
the vehicle.
Sunroof
Do not operate the sunroof when using
roof bars – risk of major damage!
