Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the
heaviest items in the bottom of the boot, as
close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in
preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and
refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold,
referring to the label in the door aperture,
driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:

fter a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment
filter...) and observe the schedule of operations
recommended in the manufacturer's service
schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty your vehicle becomes
polluting; go to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop without delay to have the
emissions of nitrogen oxides brought back to
the legal level. When refuelling, do not continue after the third
cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after
the first 1 800 miles (3
000 kilometres) that you
will see the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.

Braking assistance systems
Group of supplementary systems which help
you to obtain optimum braking in complete
safety in emergency situations:
-
a
nti-lock braking system (ABS),
-
e
lectronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-
e
mergency braking assistance (EBA).Anti-lock braking system and electronic brake force distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking, in
particular on poor or slippery sur faces.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk of
wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself
felt by slight vibration of the brake pedal. When braking in an emergency, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the STOP and ABS
warning lamps, accompanied by an

rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations. If this warning lamp comes on,

Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you
to obtain the optimum braking pressure more
quickly, 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
resistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency.When braking in an emergency, press
firmly without releasing the pressure.
Trajectory control systems
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and dynamic stability control
(DSC)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as traction
control) optimises traction to prevent skidding
of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the
driving wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability control acts on the brake
of one or more wheels and on the engine to
keep the vehicle on the trajectory required by
the driver, within the limits of the laws of physics.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem. This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
Depending on version, your vehicle has a
system to help driving on snow: intelligent
traction control .
This system detects situations of difficult
sur face grip that could make it difficult to move
off or make progress on deep fresh snow or
compacted snow.
In these situations, the intelligent traction
control limits the amount of wheel spin to
provide the best traction and trajectory control
for your vehicle.
The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on sur faces offering low
levels of adhesion.

When towing
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without exceeding
it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine per formance. Above
1
000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10
% for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
F
I
f the warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
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 lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam
height of your vehicle.
For more information on Adjusting the
headlamp beam height , refer to the
corresponding section.
For more information on Weights
, refer
to the corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal if a genuine CITROËN
towbar is used.
If the exterior temperature is high, it
is recommended that the engine be
allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after
the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate
its cooling.

Tyre under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.The tyre pressures for your vehicle can
be found on the tyre pressure label.
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres are cold (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after driving for
less then 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speed). Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the
values indicated on the label.
For more information on Identification
markings
, including the tyre pressure
label, refer to the corresponding
section.
This system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly
(including the spare wheel) and before
a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes
premature tyre wear, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high speed, long journey).
The tyre under-inflation detection system is an
aid to driving which does not replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver. Pressure sensors are located in the valve of
each tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres.

Under-inflation alert
The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of
the tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels is not fitted with a sensor
(e.g. a space-saver or steel spare
wheel).
The alert is maintained until the tyre or
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or
a steel rim) does not have a sensor.
The alert is given by the fixed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
and depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres,
the symbol or the message appears, depending
on equipment, to identify it.

Any tyre repair or replacement on a wheel
fitted with this system must be carried out by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If after changing a tyre, a wheel is not detected
by your vehicle (e.g. fitting snow tyres),
you must have the system reinitialised by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.

Temporary puncture repair kit
This kit consists of a compressor and a sealant
cartridge.
It allows the temporary repair of a tyre.
You are then able to go to the nearest garage.Access to the kit
This kit is installed in the storage box, under the
boot floor.
It is designed to repair most punctures
which could affect the tyre, located on
the tyre tread or shoulder.
Its compressor can be used to check
and adjust the pressure of the tyre.
The vehicle's electric system allows the
connection of a compressor for long enough
to inflate a tyre after a puncture repair or for
inflating a small inflatable accessory.
Tyre under-inflation detection
If the vehicle is fitted with tyre under-
inflation detection, the under-inflation
warning lamp will remain on after the
wheel has been repaired until the
system is reinitialised by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Only
the 12 V socket at the front of
the vehicle allows the connection of the
compressor for long enough to repair or
inflate a tyre.
The other 12 V sockets in the vehicle
are not suited to the use of the
compressor.
