You may have to brake to control the speed of
your vehicle. In this case, the cruise control is
automatically paused.
To activate the system again, press button 4.Only use the cruise control if the traffic
conditions will allow you to drive for a
certain time at a steady speed and at a
safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
Do not activate the cruise control
in urban areas, in heavy traffic, on
winding or steep roads, on slippery
or flooded roads, or in conditions of
poor visibility (heavy rain, fog, falling
snow...).
In some circumstances, it may not
be possible to maintain or reach the
programmed speed: towing, vehicle
heavily loaded, steep climb.
Temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed
When required (overtaking manoeuvre...), it is
possible to exceed the programmed speed by
pressing the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Once the vehicle has returned to the
programmed speed, the cruise control takes
over again: the display of the programmed
speed setting becomes steady again.
When descending a steep hill, the
cruise control system cannot prevent
the vehicle from exceeding the
programmed speed.
Switching off
F Turn wheel 1 to the "0" position: the cruise
control information disappears from the
screen.
Operating fault
Flashing dashes indicate a fault with the cruise
control system.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with the
operation of the cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:
-
e nsure that the mat is positioned
c o r r e c t l y,
-

n
ever fit one mat on top of another.
The cruise control is temporarily overridden
and the programmed speed setting flashes.

Parking sensors
This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, gate)
which comes within the field of detection of
sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (e.g. stake,
roadworks cone) detected initially will no longer
be detected at the end of the manoeuvre, if
they are located in blind spots in the sensors'
field of detection.
This system cannot in any circumstances replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
g e a r.
This is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear.
Rear parking sensors
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which
increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right-hand or
left-hand) indicates the side on which the obstacle
is located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
Visual assistance
Audible assistance
This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars in the screen which move
progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed in the screen.

Front parking sensorsOperating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the
system, when reverse gear is engaged
this warning lamp is displayed in the
instrument panel and/or a message
appears in the screen, accompanied
by an audible signal (short beep).
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when an
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
The function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed
or a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle
fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by CITROËN).In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is
engaged, an audible signal (long beep)
indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger
the audible signals of the parking
sensor system.Deactivation/Activation of the front
and rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this
button. The indicator lamp in the button
comes
on.
Pressing this button again reactivates the
function. The indicator lamp in the button
goes
off.
The sound emitted by the speaker
(front or rear) indicates whether the
obstacle is in front or behind.

Reversing camera
The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
The colour image is provided in the touch
screen tablet.The blue lines represent the general direction
of the vehicle.
The blue curved lines represent the maximum
turning circle.
The green lines represent distances of
around
1 to 2 metres beyond the edge of the
vehicle's rear bumper.
The red line represents the distance of around
30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
b u m p e r.
The lines displayed in the screen do not allow
the position of the vehicle to be determined
relative to tall obstacles (for example: vehicles
nearby).
Some deformation of the image is normal.
High pressure jet washing
When cleaning your vehicle, keep the
end of the high pressure lance at least
30 cm from the camera lens.
Clean the camera lens regularly using
a soft cloth.
The reversing camera system may be
accompanied by parking sensors.
This system is a driving aid that does
not replace vigilance on the part of the
driver, who must remain in control of
the vehicle at all times.

FuelCapacity of the tank: approximately 60 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level in the
tank is reached, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible warning
and the display of an alert message.
When it first comes on, around
6
litres of fuel remain in the tank.
Refuelling
F Press this button until the automatic opening of the fuel flap is heard.
T

his button remains active for a few
minutes after switching off the ignition. If

reactivate it.
F

T
ake care to select the pump that delivers
the correct fuel for your vehicle.
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop &
Start, never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch off the
ignition using the key, or the START/
STOP button if your vehicle has
Keyless Entry and Starting.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to
be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may result in an inrush of
air. This vacuum is entirely normal and results
from the sealing of the fuel system.
Until sufficient fuel has been added, every time
the ignition is switched on, this warning lamp
appears, accompanied by an audible signal
and an alert message. When driving, this
audible signal and alert message are repeated
with increasing frequency, as the level drops
towards 0.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out.
