moves off.
I
f the parking brake is applied and
automatic operation is activated, accelerate
away.
Never press the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time. Braking and
acceleration should be done only with
the right foot. Pressing both pedals
together risks damaging the gearbox. If the brake does not release
automatically, check that the front doors
are correctly closed. Never leave children unsupervised in
the vehicle when the engine is running.
When carrying out a maintenance
operation with the engine running, apply
the parking brake and select position P
.Never select position P or R unless the
vehicle is at a complete stop with the
brake applied.
When you want to engage reverse,
to avoid jolts, do not accelerate
immediately after engaging R
.
Changing into position R is
accompanied by an audible signal. Never select position N when driving.
If position N
is engaged in error when
moving, allow the engine to idle, then
engage position D to accelerate.
When the engine is running at idle,
brakes released, if position R
, D or M is
selected, the vehicle will move even if
the accelerator is not pressed.

Before switching off the engine, you can
change to position P or N to be in neutral.
In either case, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle, unless it is programmed
in automatic mode.
If the lever is not in position P, on opening the
driver's door or approximately 45 seconds after
switching off the ignition there is an audible
signal and a message appears:
F
m
ove the gear selector to position P; the
audible signal stops and the message
disappears.
Operating fault
Whenever parking, you must apply the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle, if automatic
operation has been deactivated.
Parking the vehicle
In all circumstances, ensure that the
gear selector is in position P before
leaving your vehicle. In the event of a fault with the
gearbox, the service warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by a message and an
audible signal.
In this case the gearbox goes into back-up
mode and stays in 3
rd gear. You may then feel
a noticeable jolt when going from P to R and
from
N to R . This jolt does not present any risk
to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) while also
observing legal speed limits.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In the event of a battery failure, use the
chock to immobilise the vehicle.

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.). The engine
restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.

If your vehicle is fitted with the system, a time
counter calculates the sum of the periods in
STOP mode during a journey. It resets itself to
zero every time the ignition is switched on with
the START/STOP button. Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the START/STOP button. For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
The Stop & Start system does not affect
the functionality of the vehicle, such as
for example, braking, power steering...
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:
-
t he driver's door is open,
-
t

Blind Spot Monitoring System
Activation / Deactivation
A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on
the side in question:
-
i
mmediately, when being overtaken,
-
a
fter a delay of about one second, when
overtaking a vehicle slowly.
This system warns the driver of the presence of
another vehicle in the blind spot angle of their
vehicle (areas masked from the driver's field
of vision), as soon as this presents a potential
danger. Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.
The state of the system remains in memory on
switching off the ignition.
This system is designed to improve safety when driving and is in no circumstances a
substitute for the use of the interior rear view mirror and door mirrors. It is the driver's
responsibility to constantly check the traffic, to assess the distances and relative speeds of
other vehicles and to predict their movements before deciding whether to change lane.
This system is a driving aid that cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver. Activation and deactivation of the system is
done in the Driving
menu of the touch screen.
Select the " Driving functions " tab, then
" Blind spot sensors ".
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel.
To deactivate the system, select " Blind spot
sensors " again in the " Driving functions " tab.

In the event of a fault, this warning
lamp flashes for a few moments in
the instrument panel, accompanied
by illumination of the Service warning
lamp and the display of a message.
Operating fault
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather
conditions (rain, hail, etc.).
In particular, driving on a wet sur face
or moving from a dry area to a wet area
can cause false alerts (for example, the
presence of a fog of water droplets in
the blind spot angle is interpreted as a
vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered by mud, ice
or snow.
Take care not to cover the warning zone
in the door mirrors or the detection
zones on the front and rear bumpers
with adhesive labels or other objects;
they may hamper the correct operation
of the system.
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, direct the
lance at least 30 cm away from the
sensors.In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the door
mirror on the side in question, a correction of
trajectory will be felt if you cross a lane marking
with the direction indicators on, to help you
avoid a collision.
Conditions for operation
The following systems must be activated:
-
B lind Spot Monitoring System,
-
A
ssisted Lane Departure Warning System.

Fatigue detection system
It is recommended that you take a break as soon as you feel tired or at least every two hours.
Depending on version, the function either has the "Driving time warning" only, or this combined with the "Fatigue detection system".
Driving time warning
The system triggers an alert once 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 takes the form of 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 cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
Do not take the wheel if you are tired.
As soon as the speed of the vehicle
drops below 40 mph (65 km/h), the
system goes into standby.
The driving time is counted again once
the speed is above 40 mph (65 km/h).
The system resets itself if one of the following
conditions is met:
-
e
ngine running, the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 15 minutes,
-
t
he ignition has been switched off for a
few
m

360 Vision
This system provides a view in the instrument
panel of the near surroundings of your vehicle,
using cameras mounted at the front and rear of
your vehicle and under the door mirrors.
Depending on the angle of view chosen (front
view, rear view or 360° panoramic view),
360 Vision provides special visual assistance
in particular driving conditions such as when
entering a blind junction or manoeuvring in
areas of reduced visibility.
Once activated, this function operates up to
9
mph (15 km/h). Above 18 mph (30 km/h), the
function is deactivated automatically. This system is a visual aid which in no
circumstances can replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The images provided by the cameras
may be deformed by the relief. The
presence of areas in shade, in sunny
conditions, or of low ambient light may
darken the image and reduce contrast.Forward vision
The camera located in the front bumper is
activated and views of the areas located at
front left and front right appear simultaneously
in the instrument panel.
Rear vision
The camera located in the tailgate is activated
and the view of the area behind your vehicle is
displayed in the instrument panel and behaves
like a reversing camera, whatever the position
of the gear selector lever.
The blue lines represent the width of your
vehicle (excluding mirrors): they move
according to the position of the steering wheel.
The red line represents a distance of 30 cm
from the rear bumper, and the two green
lines, 1 m and 2 m from the rear bumper,
respectively.
Rear vision is displayed automatically
when engaging reverse, regardless of
the state of the system.
