When the vehicle is being driven,
this warning lamp coming on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, indicates that the
parking brake is still applied or has
not been fully released.
When parking on a slope or on a steep
slope with a loaded vehicle, turn the
wheels against the kerb then apply the
parking brake.
Pressing the brake pedal facilitates the
application and release of the manual
parking brake. With a manual gearbox, engage a gear
then switch off the ignition.
With an automatic gearbox, place the gear
selector in position P then switch off the
ignition.
With an electronic gearbox, place the gear
selector in position A then switch off the
ignition.
Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when
starting on a gradient, the time it takes to
move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
It is only active when:
-

t
he vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
-

c
ertain slope conditions are met,
-

t
he driver’s door is closed. Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If you need to leave the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
manually then ensure that the parking
brake warning lamp lights up fixed on the
instrument panel.
Uphill , with the vehicle stationary, the vehicle
is held for a short time when you release the
brake pedal.
With a manual gearbox , if you are in first gear
or in neutral.

position D or M .
With an electronic gearbox , if you are in
automatic mode (position A ) or in manual mode
(position M ).
Driving

152
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
To engage reverse gear, the vehicle must be
stationary with your foot on the brake pedal.
F
Sel
ect position R .
There is an audible signal upon engagement of
reverse.
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 aids camera
This camera and its associated functions
may be impaired if the windscreen area in
front of the camera is dirty, misty, frosty,
covered with snow, damaged or masked
by a sticker.
On versions with camera alone, this
message indicates to you that the camera
is obstructed: "Driving aids camera:
Visibility limited, see user guide".
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle
(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low
sun, reflections on a damp road, leaving
a tunnel, alternating shade and light) can
also impair detection performance. Other cameras
The images from the camera(s) displayed
on the touch screen or on the instrument
panel may be distorted by the relief.
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and
with lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are.
Sensors
The operation of the sensors, as well
as the associated functions, may be
disturbed by sound inter ference such
as that 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.
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the
sensors may be dirty.
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 always detect
obstacles that are too low (pavements,
studs) or too thin (trees, posts, wire
fe n c e s).
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.

- Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency b r ak ing).
The vehicle has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen and a radar located in the front
b u m p e r. This system does not avoid the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system is designed to assist the
driver and improve road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to
continuously monitor the state of the
traffic, observing the driving regulations.
As soon as the system detects a potential
obstacle, it prepares the braking circuit in
case automatic braking is needed. This
may cause a slight noise and a slight
sensation of deceleration.Operating conditions and
limits
The ESC system must not be faulty.
All passenger seat belts must be fastened.
Driving at a steady speed on roads with few
bends is required.
In the following cases, deactivating the system
via the vehicle's configuration menu is advised:
-

t

to the detection camera.
It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
Consequently, always stay in control of
your vehicle and be prepared to react at
any time to avoid an accident. After an impact, the function automatically
stops operating. Contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
Distance Alert
It warns the driver if their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the vehicle in front or a pedestrian
present in their traffic lane.
Operation
Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert threshold
chosen by the driver, several different levels
of alert may be triggered and displayed in the
instrument panel.
They take account of the vehicle dynamics, the
speeds of your vehicle and the one in front, the
environmental conditions and the operation of
the vehicle (cornering, actions on the pedals,
etc.) to trigger the alert at the best moment.
Level
1 (orange colour) : visual
alert only, signalling that the vehicle
in front is very close.
The message " Vehicle close" is
displayed.
Driving

174
The driver can maintain control of the
vehicle at any time by sharply turning
the steering wheel and/or pressing the
accelerator pedal.
Operation of the function may be felt by
slight vibration in the brake pedal.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
the automatic braking is maintained for 1
to 2 seconds.
Deactivation/Activation
By default, the system is automatically
activated at every engine start.This system can be deactivated
or activated via the vehicle
configuration menu.
Deactivation of the system is
signalled by the illumination of this
indicator lamp, accompanied by the
display of a message.
Malfunction
In the event of a fault with the system,
you are alerted by the continuous
illumination of this warning lamp,

Coffee Break Alert
The system triggers an alert as soon
as it detects that the driver has not
taken a break after two hours of
driving at a speed above 40 mph
(65


km/h).
This alert is issued via the display of a
message encouraging you to take a break,
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the
alert is repeated hourly until the vehicle is
stopped. The system resets itself if one of the following
conditions is met:

Particle filter (Diesel)
or The start of saturation of the particle
filter is signalled by the temporary
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by a message warning
of the risk of the filter clogging up.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates
a low Diesel additive level.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the
environment. New vehicle
The first particle filter regeneration
operations may be accompanied by a
"burning" smell, which is per fectly normal.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at
least 37 mph (60

km/h) until the warning lamp
goes off. After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
Brake disc/drum wear
For any information on checking
brake disc/drum wear, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be adjusted, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Practical information

197
Once the AdBlue® tank is empty, a system
r
equired by regulations prevents starting
of the engine.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of
emissions from the vehicle will no longer
meet the Euro 6 standard: the vehicle
becomes polluting.
In the event of a confirmed fault with the
SCR system, you must go to a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop as soon
as possible: after travelling a distance
of 685

miles (1,100 km), a system will be
triggered automatically to prevent engine
starting.
In either case, a range indicator gives the
distance that can be travelled before the
vehicle is immobilised.
Freezing of the AdBlue
®
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below
around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a heater for the
AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to continue
driving in very cold conditions.
Supply of AdBlue®
It is recommended that the AdBlue® be topped
up as soon as the first alert is issued indicating
that the reser ve level has been reached.
In order to ensure that the SCR system
operates correctly:
-

U

se only AdBlue
® fluid that meets the
ISO 22241 standard.
-

N

ever transfer AdBlue
® to another
container: it would lose its purity.
-

N

ever dilute AdBlue
® with water.
AdBlue
® can be obtained from a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
You can also visit a ser vice station
equipped with AdBlue
® pumps specially
designed for passenger vehicles.
Never top up from an AdBlue
® dispenser
reserved for heavy goods vehicles.
Recommendations on
storage
AdBlue® freezes at about -11 °C and
d
eteriorates above +25 °C. Containers should
be stored in a cool area and protected from
direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept
for at least a year.
If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once it has
completely thawed out at room temperature.
Never store AdBlue
® containers in your
vehicle.
Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This liquid
is non-flammable, colourless and odourless
(when kept in a cool place).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
affected area with soap and running water. In
the event of contact with the eyes, immediately
rinse the eyes with large amounts of water
or with an eye wash solution for at least
15

minutes. If you feel a persistent burning
sensation or irritation, get medical attention.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
