Driving situations and 
associated alerts
The table below describes the alerts and 
messages displayed depending on the driving 
situations.
The display of these alerts is not sequential. While the direction indicators are on and for 
a  few seconds after switching them off, the 
system considers that any change of trajectory 
is voluntary and no correction is triggered 
during this period.
However, with the Blind Spot Monitoring system 
activated, if the driver starts changing lanes 
and another vehicle is detected in the vehicle's 
blind spot, the system will correct the trajectory 
of the vehicle even though the direction 
indicators are on.
For more information on the Blind Spot 
Monitoring system , refer to the corresponding 
section. Status of the

This system warns the driver of the presence 
of another vehicle in the blind spots of their 
vehicle (areas hidden from the driver's field 
of vision), as soon as this presents a  potential 
danger.
A fixed warning lamp appears in the door mirror 
on the side in question:
-
 i
mmediately, when being overtaken,
-
 
a
 fter a   delay of about one second, when 
overtaking a
  vehicle slowly.
In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the door 
mirror on the side in question, a correction of 
trajectory will be felt if you attempt to cross 
a
  lane marking with the direction indicator 
activated, to help you avoid a
  collision.This driving aid system is designed to 
improve safety when driving and is in no 
circumstances a
  substitute for the use 
of the interior rear view mirror and door 
mirrors. It is the driver's responsibility to 
constantly check the traffic, to assess the 
relative distances and speeds of other 
vehicles and to anticipate their movements 
before deciding whether to change lane.
Activation/Deactivation
The function is activated and 
deactivated in the Driving/Vehicle  
menu of the touch screen.
The state of the system stays in the memory 
when switching off the ignition.
The system is automatically deactivated 
when towing with a

approved by CITROËN.
Operation
The alert is given by an orange warning lamp 
coming on in the relevant door mirror, as soon 
as a
  vehicle – car, lorry, bicycle – is detected.
A correction of trajectory will be felt if you 
attempt to cross a
  lane marking with the 
direction indicator flashing.
The following conditions must be met for this:
-

The Park Assist system takes control 
of the power steering for a  maximum of 
4
  manoeuvring cycles. The function is 
deactivated after these 4
  cycles. If you 
think that your vehicle is not positioned 
correctly, you should then take over the 
steering to finish the manoeuvre.
The sequence of manoeuvres and the 
driving instructions are displayed on the 
touch screen.
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 Monitoring system.

Practical information  
Page 183 of 292

181
It remains possible to use a fuel can to fill 
t he tank.
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 a
  CITROËN dealer 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.
Compatibility of fuels
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 fuel additives authorised for use 
are those that meet the B715001 (petrol) 
or B715000 (Diesel) standards.
Petrol fuels conforming to the EN228   standard 
containing up to 5% and 10% ethanol 
respectively.
Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590, 
EN16734   and EN16709   standards respectively 
and containing up to 7%, 10%, 20% and 30% 
fatty acid methyl ester respectively. The use of 
B20
  or B30   fuels, even occasionally, imposes 
special maintenance conditions referred to as 
"Arduous conditions".
Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the 
EN15940
 
 standard.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0°C (+32 °F), the 
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel 
fuels could prevent the engine from operating 
correctly. In these temperature conditions, use 
winter-type Diesel fuel and keep the fuel tank 
more than 50% full.
At temperatures below -15°C (+5 °F) to avoid 
problems starting, it is best to park the vehicle 
under shelter (heated garage).
Travelling abroad
Cer tain fuels could damage your vehicle's 
engine.
In cer tain countries, the use of a
  par ticular 
fuel may be required (specific octane 
rating, specific trade name, etc.) to ensure 
correct operation of the engine.
For all additional information, consult a
 
dealer.
