uring long trips, take a break every two
hours.
To assure the durability of your vehicle and
for safety reasons, remember that certain
precautions, described hereafter, should be
taken when driving your vehicle:
Manoeuvre cautiously, at low
speed
The dimensions of this vehicle differ greatly
from those of a light vehicle, in width, in height,
as well as in length, and some obstacles will be
more difficult to notice.
Manoeuvre slowly.
Before turning, check that there are no
obstacles at mid-height along the sides.
Before reversing, check that there are no
obstacles, particularly at high level behind the
vehicle.
Be aware of the external dimensions, if ladders
are fitted.
Drive the vehicle in a cautious
and efficient way
Take corners gently.
Anticipate the need to brake as the stopping
distance is increased, particularly on wet or icy
roads.
Be aware of the effect of side winds on the
vehicle.
Be careful
The tyres must be inflated to at least the
pressures indicated on the label, even over-
inflated by 0.2 to 0.3 bar for long journeys.
Important!
Never leave the engine running in
a closed space without sufficient
ventilation. Internal combustion engines
emit toxic exhaust gases such as carbon
monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death!
In severe wintry conditions (temperature
below -23°C), let the engine run for
4
minutes before moving off, to ensure
the correct operation and durability of the
mechanical components of your vehicle
(engine and gearbox). Never drive with the parking brake
applied
. Risk of overheating and damage
to the braking system!
Do not park the vehicle or leave the
engine running on a flammable sur face
(dr y grass, dead leaves, etc.). The
exhaust system of your vehicle is very
hot, even several minutes after the engine
stops. Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unattended with
the engine running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running, apply
the parking brake and put the gearbox into
neutral or position N or P (depending on
the type of gearbox).
Never leave children inside the vehicle
unsupervised .
On flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.
Driving

139
In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.Respect the maximum towable weights.
At altitude:
reduce the maximum load
by 10% per 1,000 metres of altitude ; the
density of the air decreases with altitude
and the performance of the engine
reduces.
New vehicle: do not pull a trailer before
having 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
F 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.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F 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 increases the
temperature of the coolant. The maximum
towable load depends on the gradient and the
exterior temperature. The cooling capacity of
the fan does not increase with engine speed.
F

T
o reduce the heating up, reduce the
vehicle speed and the engine speed.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
If you are obliged to drive on a flooded road:
F

c

heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15

cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users,
F

d

eactivate the Stop & Start function,
F

d

rive as slowly as possible without stalling.
In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10

km/h),
F

d

o not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety
conditions allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Engaging reverse gear
F Raise the ring under the knob and move the gear lever to the left then for wards.
Only engage reverse gear when the
vehicle is stationary with the engine at
idle.
As a safety precaution and to facilitate
starting the engine:
-

a
lways select neutral,
-

p
ress the clutch pedal.
Gear efficiency indicator
(Depending on engine.)
This system helps reduce fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and the
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
skipping one or more gears.
Gear engagement recommendations are
only optional. In fact, the configuration of the
road, the traffic density and safety remain
determining factors when choosing the best
gear. Therefore, the driver remains responsible
for deciding whether or not to follow the
system’s advice.
This function cannot be deactivated. On certain BlueHDi Diesel versions
with manual gearbox, the system
may suggest changing into neutral


(N
is displayed in the instrument
panel) so that the engine can go
into standby (STOP mode of Stop &
Start), in certain driving conditions. With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual operation.
The information appears in the
instrument panel, in the form of an
ascending or descending arrow and
the recommended gear.
The system adapts its gear shift
recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the
driver’s requirements (power, acceleration,
b r a k i n g , e t c .) .
The system never suggests:
-
e

ngaging first gear,
-

rofile of the road. For optimum acceleration, for
example when overtaking another
vehicle, press the accelerator
pedal fully down.
Temporary manual control of
gear changes
It is possible to temporarily take control of the
gear changes using the " +" and " -" steering
mounted controls. The gear change instruction
is acted on if the engine speed permits.
This function allows you to anticipate certain
situations, such as overtaking another vehicle
or approaching a bend in the road.
After a few moments with no action on the
control paddles, the gearbox returns to
automatic operation.

It is not necessary to release the
accelerator when changing gear.
When braking or slowing down, the
gearbox changes down automatically
to allow the vehicle to accelerate in the
correct gear.
On sharp acceleration, the gearbox will
not change up unless the driver acts on
the steering mounted paddles.
Never select neutral N while the vehicle is
moving.
Only engage reverse gear R when the
vehicle is stopped and the brake pedal is
pressed.
Reverse gear

At low speed, if reverse gear is requested,
the N indicator lamp flashes and the
gearbox goes into neutral automatically.
To engage reverse, with your foot on
the brake pedal, move the selector to
position


N, then to position R .
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, it is possible to:
-
m ove to position N to engage neutral,
or
-

l
eave the vehicle in gear ; in this case, the
vehicle cannot be moved.
In both cases, you must apply the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle.
When immobilising the vehicle with the
engine running, you must move the
selector to neutral N .
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
ensure that the selector is in neutral N and
that the parking brake is applied.
Malfunction
With the ignition on, the flashing of A or
AUTO , accompanied by an audible signal and
a message, indicates a malfunction of the
gearbox.
Have the vehicle checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop. You must keep your foot on the brake
pedal while starting the engine.
In all parking situations, you must apply
the parking brake to immobilise the
vehicle.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start function puts the engine
temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during
phases when the vehicle is stopped (red lights,
queues, etc.). The engine restarts automatically
- START mode - as soon as the driver wishes
to move off again.
Primarily designed for urban use, the function
is intended to reduce fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise level
when stationary.
The function does not affect the functionalities
of the vehicle, in particular the braking.
Driving on flooded roads
Before entering into a flooded area, it is
strongly recommended that you deactivate
the Stop & Start system.
For more information on Driving
recommendations , particularly on
flooded roads, refer to the corresponding
section.
Driving

155
The inflation pressures specified for the
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings, refer to the
corresponding section.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done when the tyres
are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or
after a journey of less than 6
miles (10 km)
at moderate speeds).
Other wise, add 0.3
bar to the pressures
shown on the label. Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Spare wheel
The steel spare wheel does not have an
under-inflation detection sensor.
Under-inflation alert
Under-inflation detection does not replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
This system does not avoid the need
to regularly check the tyre pressures
(including the spare wheel) as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres,
particularly in adverse conditions (heavy
load, high speed, long journey):
-
w

orsens road-holding,
-
l

illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal
and, depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
F

R
educe speed immediately, avoid excessive
steering movements and avoid sudden
braking.
F

S
top the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check. F
I f it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
F

I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).
The alert is kept active until the system is
reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
Reinitialise the system after adjusting one or
more tyre pressures and after changing one or
more wheels.
Before reinitialising the system, make
sure that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and conform to the values written
on the tyre pressure label.
Check the pressures of the four tyres
before performing the reinitialisation.
The system does not advise if a pressure
is incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
F

U

sing a compressor, such as the one in the
temporary puncture repair kit, check the
pressures of the four tyres when cold.

Without audio system
F Press this button for about 3 seconds then release it, an audible signal confirms the
reinitialisation.
With audio system or touch
screen
The reinitialisation is carried out via
the vehicle configuration menu.
Malfunction
In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer assured.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop. The illumination of these warning lamps
indicates a fault with the system.
Driving and manoeuvring
aids - General
recommendations
Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must comply with the Highway
Code, must remain in control of the
vehicle in all circumstances and must be
able to retake control of it at all times. The
driver must adapt the speed to climactic
conditions, traffic and the state of the
road.
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
indicating and changing lane.
The systems cannot exceed the limits of
the laws of physics.
Driving aids
You should hold the steering wheel with
both hands, always use the interior and
exterior rear view mirrors, always keep the
feet close to the pedals and take a break
every two hours. Manoeuvring aids
The driver must always check the
surroundings of the vehicle before and
during the whole manoeuvre, in particular
using the mirrors.
Radar
The operation of the radar as well as the
associated functions may be impaired
through the accumulation of dirt (mud,
frost, etc.), in certain difficult weather
conditions (very heavy rain, snow) or if the
bumper is damaged.
If the front bumper is to be repainted,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop
; certain types of paint could
inter fere with the operation of the radar.

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 details from the navigation
system mapping.
You should update your navigation
mapping regularly in order to receive
accurate speed limit information from the
system.
The units for the speed limit (mph or km/h)
depend on the country you are driving in.
This should be taken into account so that
you obser ve the speed limit.
For the system to operate correctly when
you change country, the units for speed in
the instrument panel must be those for the
country you are driving in.
The automatic reading of road signs is a
driving aid system and does not always
display speed limits correctly.
The speed limit signs present on the road
always take priority over the display by the
system.
The system is designed to detect signs
that conform to the Vienna Convention on
road signs.
