Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you to  obtain  the  optimum  braking  pressure  more Â
q
uickly,  thus  reducing  the  stopping  distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake pedal  is  pressed.
The
 effect  of  this  is  a  reduction  in  the Â
r
esistance  of  the  pedal  and  an  increase  in Â
b
raking
 e
fficiency.
When
 braking  in  an  emergency,  press Â
f
irmly  without  releasing  the  pressure.
Trajectory control systems
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and dynamic stability
control (
d
SC)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as traction control)  optimises  traction  to  prevent  skidding Â
o
f  the  wheels,  by  acting  on  the  brakes  of  the Â
d
riving  wheels  and  on  the  engine.
The electronic stability control acts on the
brake
 of  one  or  more  wheels  and  on  the  engine Â
t
o  keep  the  vehicle  on  the  trajectory  required Â
b
y  the  driver,  within  the  limits  of  the  laws  of Â
p
hysics.Activation
These systems are activated automatically each  time  the  vehicle  is  started.
They
 come  into  operation  in  the  event  of  a  grip Â

This
 is  indicated  by  flashing  of  this Â

Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automatically each  time  the  ignition  is  switched  back  on Â
o

Operation
When your vehicle is too close to or
approaches the  vehicle  ahead  too  quickly  the Â
s
ystem  automatically  applies  the  brakes  to Â
a
void  a  collision.
The
 collision  can  be  avoided  automatically  if  the
 d
ifference  in  speed  between  your  vehicle  and  the
 v
ehicle  ahead  does  not  exceed  9  mph  (15  km/h).
Above
 this  threshold,  the  system  will  do  what
 i
s  possible  to  avoid  or  reduce  the  accident  by
 l
owering  the  speed  of  impact.
The
 automatic  braking  may  bring  the  vehicle  to Â
a
 complete  stop  if  the  situation  requires  it.
In
 this  case,  the  vehicle  is  held  stationary Â
t
emporarily  (for  about  1.5  seconds)  to  allow Â
t
he  driver  to  take  back  control  by  pressing  the Â
b
rake
 ped
al.
You
 are  then  alerted  by  the  display  of  a Â
m
essage.
The
 brake  lamps  on  your  vehicle  come  on  to Â
w
arn  other  road  users.
After
 an  impact,  the  system  is Â
a
utomatically  put  out  of  service:  it  no Â
lon
ger
 ope
rates.
You
 must  go  to  a  CITROËN  dealer  or  a Â
q
ualified  workshop  to  have  the  system Â
m
ade  operational  again.
During
 automatic  braking,  the  driver Â
c
an  always  obtain  a  higher  rate  of Â
d
eceleration  than  that  controlled  by  the Â
s
ystem,  by  pressing  firmly  on  the  brake Â
ped
al.
The
 triggering  of  the  system  may  cause Â
t
he  engine  to  stall,  unless  the  driver Â
d
epresses  the  clutch  pedal  quickly Â
e
nough  during  automatic  braking.
deactivation
The system is deactivated in the vehicle configuration  menu,  accessible  with  the  ignition  on.
Its
 state  is  memorised  when  the  ignition  is
 s
witched off.
When the system is deactivated, a m essage  is  displayed  every  time  the Â
i
gnition  is  switched  on,  to  warn  you.

Fuel tankFuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres (petrol) or 46 litres (diesel);
(dep ending on version: approximately 30 litres (petrol or di esel)).
Low fuel level
Filling
A label affixed to the inside of the flap reminds you  of  the  type  of  fuel  to  be  used  depending  on Â
y
our
 eng
ine.
Additions
 of  fuel  must  be  of  at  least  7  litres,  in Â
o
rder  to  be  registered  by  the  fuel  gauge.The
 key  cannot  be  removed  from  the Â
l
ock  until  the  cap  is  refitted.
Opening
 the  filler  cap  may  create  a Â
n
oise  caused  by  an  inrush  of  air.  This Â
v
acuum  is  entirely  normal,  resulting Â
f
rom  the  sealing  of  the  fuel  system.
To
 fill  the  tank  safely:
F t he engine must be switched off,
F o pen the fuel filler flap,
F
Â
i
nsert  the  key  in  the  cap,  then  turn  it  to Â
t
he
left,F
Â
r
emove  the  cap  and  hook  it  onto  the  clip  l
ocated  on  the  inside  of  the  flap,
F  f ill  the  tank,  but do not continue after the
3rd cut- off of the pump ;
 this  could  cause Â
m
alfunctions.
When
 you  have  filled  the  tank:
F
Â
p
ut  the  cap  back  in  place,
F
Â
t
urn  the  key  to  the  right,  then  remove  it Â
f
rom  the  cap,
F
Â
c
lose  the  flap.
When the fuel tank minimum level is reached  this  warning  lamp  comes  on o
n  the  instrument  panel.  When  it  first
 c
omes  on  there  remains  approximately
5 litres
 of  fuel  in  the  tank.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in  STOP  mode;  you  must  switch Â
o
ff  the  ignition  with  the  key.
You
Â
must  refuel  as  soon  as  possible  to  avoid Â
r
unning  out  of  fuel.

Â
you
Â
run  out  of  fuel  (Diesel),  refer  also  to  the Â

AdBlue® additive and SCR system
f
or
Â
BlueHDi  Diesel  engines
To assure respect for the environment and c
onformity  with  the  new  Euro  6  emissions Â
s
tandard,  without  adversely  affecting  the Â
p
er formance  or  fuel  consumption  of  Diesel Â
e
ngines,  CITROËN  has  taken  the  decision  to Â
e
quip  its  vehicles  with  an  effective  system  that Â
a
ssociates  SCR  (Selective  Catalytic  Reduction) Â
w
ith  a  particle  filter  (FAP)  for  the  treatment  of Â
e
xhaust  gases.
Presentation of the SCR system
Using an additive called AdBlue® containing u
rea, a catalytic converter turns up to
85%Â of
Â
nitrous
Â
oxides
Â
(NOx)
Â
into
 nitrogen Â
a
nd
Â
water,
Â
which
Â
are
Â
harmless
Â
to  health  and Â
t
he environment. The
 AdBlue
® additive is held in a special t
ank
Â
located
 under  the  boot  at  the  rear  of Â
t
he
Â
vehicle.
Â
It  has  a  capacity  of  17  litres:  this Â
p
rovides
Â
a
Â
driving  range  of  about  12  500  miles Â
(
20
Â
000
Â
km),
 after  which  an  alert  is  triggered Â
w
arning
Â
you
Â
when  the  reserve  remaining  is Â
e
nough
Â
for
Â
just  1  500  miles  (2  400  km).
During
Â
each
 scheduled  service  of  your  vehicle Â
b
y
Â
a
Â
CITROËN  dealer  or  a  qualified  workshop, Â
t
he
Â
AdBlue
® additive tank is refilled in order to a
llow
Â
normal  operation  of  the  SCR  system.
If
Â
the
Â
estimated  mileage  between  two  services Â
i
s
Â
greater
Â
than  12  500  miles  (20  000  km),  we Â
r
ecommend
 that  you  go  to  a  CITROËN  dealer Â
o
r
Â
a
Â
qualified  workshop  to  have  the  necessary Â
t
op-up
Â
carried  out. Once
 the  AdBlue
® tank is empty, a
Â
system
Â
required
 by  regulations Â
p
revents
Â
starting
Â
of  the  engine.
If the SCR is faulty, the level of
emissions
Â
from
Â
your  vehicle  will  no Â
l
onger
Â
meet
Â
the
Â
Euro  6  standard:  your Â
v
ehicle
Â
becomes
Â
polluting.
In
Â
the
Â
event
Â
of
Â
a
Â
confirmed  fault Â
w
ith
Â
the
Â
SCR
Â
system,  you  must  go Â
t
o
Â
a
Â
CITROËN
Â
dealer  or  a  qualified Â
w
orkshop
Â
as
Â
soon  as  possible:  after Â
a
Â
running
Â
distance  of  650  miles Â
(
1Â 100
Â
km),
Â
a
Â
system  will  be  triggered Â
a
utomatically
Â
to
Â
prevent  engine Â
s
tarting.
