Safety / Obstacle detection with
electric door(s)Fuel filler flap
The obstacle detection system is triggered
when the moving door encounters an obstacle
with a certain level of physical resistance.
-

I
f an obstacle is detected while the door is
closing, the door stops then opens fully.
-

I
f an obstacle is detected while the door is
opening, the door stops and then closes.
-

I
f an obstacle is detected twice in
succession during a movement of the door,
it will no longer close electrically. Close the
door manually to reinitialise it. If fitted to your vehicle, never open the
left-hand sliding side door when the
fuel filler flap is open. Other wise you
risk damaging the fuel filler flap and the
sliding door and causing injury to the
person filling the vehicle.
If the fuel filler flap is open and your
vehicle has an electric left-hand sliding
side door, the door cannot be opened
using the opening control button. If
required the door can be opened half
way manually. The fuel filler flap must
be closed to allow the door to open

Always switch off the programmable
heating while refuelling to avoid any risk
of fire or explosion.
To avoid the risk of intoxication and
asphyxiation, the programmable
heating must not be used, even for
short periods, in an enclosed area such
as a garage or workshop not equipped
with exhaust gas extraction.
Do not park the vehicle on an
inflammable sur face (dry grass, dead
leaves, paper…), there is a risk of fire.
Glazed sur faces such as the rear
screen or windscreen can become very
hot in places.
Take care not to place objects in
contact with these sur faces, nor touch
them with your hands or any other part
of your body.
The heating is activated provided that:
-

t

he battery is sufficiently charged,
-

t

he fuel level is adequate,
-

t

he engine has been started since
the previous heating cycle.
The programmable heating system is
supplied by the vehicle's fuel tank.
Before use, ensure that there is enough
fuel in the tank.
If the tank is on reserve, it is
recommended that the system is not
used.
The ventilation is activated provided
that the battery is sufficiently charged.

This mode, when moving off, allows
considerable spin on the wheel with the least
grip to optimise clearing of the mud and regain
grip. At the same time, the wheel with the most
grip is controlled in such a way as to transmit
as much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully
as possible.
(mode active up to 50 mph (80 km/h))F

P
lace the knob in this position. This mode allows little spin on the two driving
wheels at the same time to allow the vehicle to
move for ward and limit the risks of getting stuck
in the sand.
(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))
F

P
lace the knob in this position.
Do not use the other modes on sand as the
vehicle may become stuck. You can deactivate certain functions of the
ESC (ASR and DSC) by turning the knob to the
"
OFF " position.
These functions are reactivated automatically
from 30 mph (50 km/h) or every time the
ignition is switched back on.
All terrain (mud, damp grass, ...) Sand
Driving advice
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you
to drive on other less passable terrain
occasionally.
However, it does not permit off-road
driving such as:
-

c
rossing and driving on terrain
which could damage the underbody
or strip away components (fuel
pipe, fuel cooler...) due to obstacles
or stones in particular,
-

d
riving on terrain with steep
gradients and poor grip,
-

c
rossing a stream.

Safety

Spacetourer-VP_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016
To assure the durability of your vehicle and
your safety, remember that certain precautions,
described hereafter, should be taken when
driving your vehicle:
Load the vehicle correctly
With a load carried, the vehicle must remain
within the maximum authorised weight, the
Gross Vehicle Weight.
To avoid upsetting the balance of the vehicle,
the load should be centred and the heaviest
part placed on the floor in front of the rear
wheels.
Manoeuve cautiously, at
low speed
The dimensions of your vehicle differ 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.It is inadvisable to place heavy loads on a roof
rack.
Loading the roof rack also requires you not
to exceed the maximum load on the roof rack
anchorages. Observe the maximum authorised
weight, available from CITROËN dealers.
Loads must be securely lashed down.
Cargo that is not properly secured inside the
vehicle can adversely affect the handling of the
vehicle and create the risk of accident.
If your vehicle is fitted with a drop-side back,
the height and width of the load must remain
within the overall dimensions of the vehicle.
Drive the vehicle in a
prudent 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.
Effective eco-driving saves fuel; accelerate
progressively, anticipate the need to slow down
and adapt your speed to suit the situation.
Indicate changes of direction well in advance
so that you are seen by other road users.
Take care
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.
After ensuring that no obstacle might prevent
closing, guide the movement of the door at the
right speed until it closes.

Gear shift indicator
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one or more gears.
You can follow this instruction without going
through the intermediate gears.-

Y
ou press the accelerator pedal.
-

Y
ou are in third gear.-

T
he system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear.
The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow.
On vehicles with manual gearbox, the arrow
may be accompanied by the recommended
g e a r.
The system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (gradient, load,
...)
and the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking,
...).
The system never suggests:
-

e
ngaging first gear,
-
enga

ging reverse gear.
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most suitable gear.
Example:
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 with Stop &
Start), in certain driving conditions.
This function cannot be deactivated. The gear engagement
recommendations must not be
considered compulsory.
This is because the configuration of
the road, traffic density and safety
remain impor tant factors in the
choice of the best gear.
The gear shift indicator system does not
replace the need for vigilance on the
part of the driver.
Driving

209
Spacetourer-VP_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016
When the ignition is on, a message
appears in the instrument panel
screen to indicate a gearbox fault.
Operating fault
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel
a substantial knock when changing from P
to R and from N to R. This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. You risk damaging the gearbox:
-

i
f you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time
(braking or acceleration must be
done only with the right foot),
-
i
f you force the selector from
position P to another position when
the battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffic jam...), position
the selector at N and apply the parking
brake.
Stopping the vehicle
A stiff point may be noticed when
moving to position P .
If the selector is not in position P ,
when the driver's door is opened or
approximately 45 seconds after the
ignition is switched off, there is an
audible signal and a message appears.
F

R
eturn the selector to position P ;
the audible signal stops and the
message disappears.
Before switching off the engine, select
position


P then apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle. In all circumstances, ensure that the
selector is in position P before leaving
your vehicle. On a steep slope with a loaded
vehicle, press the brake pedal
, select
position

P
, apply the parking brake then
release the brake pedal.
