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.

Intelligent emergency
braking assistance

avoid a collision, this system will complete the
braking, within the limits of the laws of physics.
This assistance will only be provided if you
press the brake pedal.
Deactivation / Activation
By default, the system is automatically

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.
Assisted Blind Spot
Monitoring System*

Monitoring System and the Assisted Lane

system.
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.

Checking levels
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could start at
any time (even with the ignition off).
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles so equipped, or
using the dipstick.Checking using the dipstick

It is normal to top-up the oil level between
two services (or oil changes). CITROËN
recommends that you check the level,
and top-up if necessary, every 3 000 miles
(5 000 kms). Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
To ensure that the reading is correct,
your vehicle must be parked on a level

for more than 30 minutes. A = MA X
B = MIN
If you find that the level is above the A mark or
below the B mark, do not star t the engine .

Coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly.
The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low coolant level presents a risk of serious
damage to your engine.
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top-up.When the engine is hot, the temperature of the coolant is
regulated by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised, wait
at least one hour after switching off the engine before
carrying out any work.
To avoid the risk of scalding in the event of an urgent need
to top-up, with a cloth around the cap, unscrew it by two
turns to allow the pressure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top-up the level.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and
top-up the level.
The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and
clothing that might be caught by the fan
blades. It is normal to top-up this fluid between
