PARKING SPACE SENSOR
System which measures the parking
space available between two vehi-
cles or obstacles. It measures the
size of the space and gives you in-
formation on:
- t h e p o s s i b i l i t y o f fi t t i n g i n t o a free space, depending on the
dimensions of your vehicle and
the distances necessary for your
manoeuvring,
- t h e l e v e l o f d i f fi c u l t y o f t h e m a - noeuvre to be performed.
The system does not measure spac-
es which are clearly much smaller or
larger than the size of the vehicle. Displays on the instrument
panel
The parking space sensor function

ent statuses:
-
off: the function is not selected,
- o n fi x e d : the function is selected
but the conditions for measuring
are not yet met (direction indi-
cator not operating, speed too
high) or the measuring phase is
terminated.
- fl a s h i n g : the measuring is in
progress or the message is be-
ing displayed. Y o u c a n s e l e c t t h e " p a r k i n g s p a c e

D R I V I N G The parking assistance system
cannot, in any circumstances, re-
place the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver.
VISUAL AND AUDIBLE FRONT AND/OR REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
System consisting of proximity sen-
sors, installed in the front and/or rear
bumper.
It detects any obstacle (person, ve-
hicle, tree, barrier...) located behind
the vehicle, however, it will not be
able to detect obstacles located im-
mediately below the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a road-
works cone or any other similar ob-
ject may be detected at the start of
the manoeuvre but may no longer
be detected when the vehicle moves
nearer to it. The parking assistance is
switched
on :
- by engaging reverse gear,
- at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear.
This is accompanied by an audible
signal and/or displaying of the vehi-
cle on the multifunction display.
The proximity information is indicat-
ed by:
- an audible signal which be- comes more rapid as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle,
- a diagram on the multifunction display, with blocks which move
closer to the vehicle.
The obstacle is located in relation to
the emission of the audible signal by
the speakers; front or rear and right
or left.
When the distance between the ve-
hicle and the obstacle is less than
a p p r o x i m a t e l y t w e n t y - fi v e c e n t i m e -
tres, the audible signal becomes
continuous and/or the "Danger"
symbol appears, depending on the
multifunction display version.
The parking assistance is switched
off :
- when you exit reverse gear,
- when the speed is higher than 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear,
- when the vehicle has been station- ary for more than three seconds in
forward gear. Deactivation
Press button A , the warning light
comes on, the system is fully de-
activated.
The system will be deactivated au-
tomatically when a trailer is being
towed or when a bicycle carrier is
fi t t e d ( v e h i c l e fi t t e d w i t h a t o w b a r
or bicycle carrier recommended by
CITROËN).

Reactivation
In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, ice or snow. When re-
verse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the
sensors may be dirty.
Press button A again, the warn-
ing light switches off, the system
is reactivated.
"HYDRACTIVE III+" ELECTRONIC SUSPENSION
The suspension automatically and
instantly adjusts to different driving
s t y l e s a n d t o t h e p r o fi l e o f t h e r o a d ,
providing the best compromise be-
tween occupant comfort and vehicle
road holding.
It allows you to alternate between
s o f t a n d fi r m s u s p e n s i o n s e t t i n g s ,
maximising comfort at the same
time as permanently guaranteeing
the highest level of safety. It also
automatically corrects road holding,
according to the vehicle load and
driving conditions.
Also, the "Hydractive III+" suspen-
sion gives you the possibility of
choosing between two modes of
suspension.
A change of suspension mode can
be made either when the vehicle is
moving or when stationary, by press-
ing on button A . Display on the instrument
panel
The suspension mode selected is
displayed on the instrument panel
display.
Normal mode
This mode favours soft damp-
ing for maximum comfort.
If the speed authorised for a
particular position is exceed-
ed, the vehicle reverts auto-
matically to the normal road
position.
SPORT mode This mode favours dynamic
driving.
The warning lamp on but-
ton A comes on in addition
to the message on the in-
strument panel display.
SPORT mode is retained when you
switch off the engine.

Reservoir capacities:
-
screenwash: approximately 3.5 litres,
- screenwash and headlamp wash: approximately 6.15 litres. Diesel additive level (Diesel

A low additive level is indicated by
lighting of the service warning light,
accompanied by an audible warning
and a message on the multifunction
display.
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by
a CITROËN dealer without delay.
Used products

Top up the level when you stop the
vehicle.
Coolant level
Draining the circuit
The coolant does not have to be
changed.
F l u i d s p e c i fi c a t i o n
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations. The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the
ignition off.
O n v e h i c l e s w h i c h a r e fi t t e d w i t h
a p a r t i c l e e m i s s i o n fi l t e r , t h e f a n
may operate after the vehicle has
been switched off, even if the en-
gine is cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour
after switching off the engine before
carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.

CHECKS
Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance
with the Maintenance and Warranty
Guide and in relation to your en-
gine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
Battery The battery does not re-
quire any maintenance.
However, check that the
terminals are clean and
correctly tightened, particu-
larly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the bat-

to be taken before disconnecting the
battery and following its reconnection.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the Maintenance
and Warranty Guide for
details of the replacement
intervals for these compo-
nents.
Depending on the environment (e.g.
dusty atmosphere) and the use of
the vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace
them twice as often if necessary
(refer to the "Engines" paragraph).

of air quality by the retaining of the
unburnt pollutant particles. Black
exhaust fumes are thus no longer
emitted.
After prolonged idling or driving
at very low speeds, you may oc-
casionally notice water vapour be-
ing emitted from the exhaust when
accelerating. This is of no conse-
quence to the running of the vehicle
or to the environment.
If there is risk of clogging, a mes-
sage appears on the instrument
panel display, accompanied by a
sound signal and lighting of the
service warning lamp.
This alert tells you that the particle
