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:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
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.

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.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.
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 ambient
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.

Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the cruise
control, you are alerted by the
illumination of this warning lamp
and the display of a message in the
instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible signal.
The cruise control operates by day and at night, in fog or moderate rainfall.
However, it is strongly recommended that you always keep a safe distance from vehicles
ahead, depending on the driving conditions, the weather and the road sur face.
Use the cruise control only where the driving conditions allow running at a constant speed
and at an adequate safe distance.
Do not use the cruise control in urban areas, heavy traffic, on winding or steep roads, on
slippery or flooded sur faces, in snow, if the front bumper is damaged or if the brake lamps
are faulty.
In certain circumstances, it may not be possible for the speed setting to be maintained or
even attained: loaded vehicle, ascending a steep hill, etc.
The system is not intended for the following situations:
-

t

he front end of the vehicle has been modified (addition of driving lamps, paint on the
bumper),
-

d

riving on a racing circuit,
-

r

unning on a rolling road,
-

u

se of snow chains, non-slip covers or studded tyres. Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The operation of the radar, located in the front bumper, may be disturbed by accumulations
of grime (dust, mud...) or in certain weather conditions (snow, ice...).
The message "SYSTEM INACTIVE: Visibility reduced" is displayed to signal that the system
has been put into standby.
Clean the front bumper regularly.
When painting or touching up the paint on the front bumper, consult a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. Certain types of paint could hinder the operation of the radar. The use of mats not approved by CITROËN may inter fere with the operation of the cruise
control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
-

e

nsure that mats are secured correctly,
-

n

ever fit one mat on top of another.

Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres. The under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance
on the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
road holding, extends braking distances
and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous conditions
(high loading, high speed, long journey).
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label.
For more information on the
Identification markings, refer to the
corresponding section.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption. Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done when the
tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1
hour or after a journey of less than
6
miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures
shown on the label.

n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check. The alert is maintained until the system
is reinitialised.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing
snow chains. Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the
tyre pressure label.
The under-inflation alert can only
be relied on if the reinitialisation of
the system has been done with the
pressures in the four tyres correctly
adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning lamp accompanied
by illumination of the Service warning lamp
indicates a fault with the system.
A message appears, accompanied by an
audible signal.
Before doing anything to the system,
the pressures of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.
The under-inflation alert can only be
relied on if reinitialisation of the system
is done with the four tyre pressures
correctly set. In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer assured.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
When this warning lamp comes on,
coupled with the STOP and ABS warning
lamps, accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, it indicates that there
is a fault with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD).
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
The fixed illumination of this warning
lamp indicates that there is a fault
with the ABS. 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 changing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that these are approved
for your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.
In emergency braking, press ver y
firmly and maintain this pressure.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible. The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at moderate speed.
