FUEL GAUGE
The fuel level is tested each time the key is
turned to the "running" position.
The gauge is positioned on:
- F (Full): the capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 45 litres .
- E (Empty): the reserve is now being
used, the warning light comes on
continuously.
The reserve when the warning first comes
on is approximately 6 litres.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE
The needle is positioned between C
(Cold) and H (Hot): normal operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic
conditions, the needle may move close to
the red graduations.
-wait for approximately 15 minutes to allow the engine to cool down, then check the level and if necessary top up. The cooling circuit is pressurised. In order to avoid any risk of burns, unscrew the cap 2 turns to release the pressure.
When the pressure has dropped, check the level and remove the cap to top up. If the needle remains in the red zone, contact a CITROËN dealer
EMISSION CONTROL
EOBD (European On Board Diagnosis) is
a diagnostics system which complies with,
among others, the standards concerning
authorised emissions of:
- CO (carbon monoxide),
- HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
- NOx (nitrogen oxides) or particles
detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream and downstream of the catalytic
converters.
Refer to the "Levels" section of
chapter 7.
Refer to the "Levels" section of
chapter 7.
Therefore, the driver is warned of
any malfunction of this emission
control system by the flashing of
this specific warning light on the
instrument panel.
What you should do if the needle
enters the red zone, or if the warning
light comes on:
- stop immediately, switch off the ignition.
The fan may continue to operate for
a certain time up to approximately
10 minutes.

Gearbox and steering wheel
Stopping - Starting on a gradient
This is an electronic gearbox system without
a clutch pedal.
To immobilise the vehicle on a gradient,
you must use the parking brake and not
the accelerator.
When starting on a gradient, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking brake.
Changing to sequential mode
Once you have started the engine, you
can go into sequential mode by selecting
position M.
Changing to automatic mode
When in sequential mode, you can return to
automatic mode by selecting position A.
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can:
- select position N to engage neutral.
- leave a gear engaged, such as first or
reverse gear.
In either case, you must engage the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle.
Reinitialising
Following a battery disconnection, you must
reinitialise the gearbox:
- switch on the ignition, "AUTO" appears
on the instrument panel display,
- press on the brake pedal,
- wait for about 30 seconds until "N" or
a gear appears on the instrument panel
display,
- release the brake pedal.
The gearbox is now operational again.
Operating anomaly
"AUTO" is displayed and the
gear selected appears on the
instrument panel display.
The gearbox operates in
automatic mode, without the need for driver
intervention.
It always selects the gear best suited to the
following parameters:
- driving style,
- road profile,
- vehicle load.
To maximise driving comfort and obtain the
most suitable gear, avoid making rough
movements on the accelerator pedal.
If you press the accelerator beyond the point
of resistance, the gearbox selects the next
gear down to allow for faster acceleration.
"AUTO" disappears and
the gears selected appear
successively on the instrument
panel display.
Gear change requests are only possible if
the engine speed allows them.
Gently lift your foot from the accelerator
pedal to select the gear.
When driving at low speed (e.g. approaching
a stop sign or at traffic lights), the gearbox
automatically changes down to first gear.
With the ignition switched on, the
fl ashing of "AUTO" and the lighting
of this warning lamp, accompanied
by a sound signal and a message on
the instrument panel display, indicate a gearbox
malfunction.
Have the system checked by your CITROËN dealer.
You must always press the brake pedal down when starting the engine. When the vehicle is moving, never select neutral N.Only select reverse gear R with the vehicle stationary and your foot on the brake pedal.In all cases, you must engage the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.When on a steep gradient, you are advised to use sequential mode.

102
Towing a trailer
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a steep
slope in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this
case, the automatic cutting off of the air
conditioning allows the engine power to be
recovered.
If the coolant temperature
warning light comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 7.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identification
features" section of chapter 7) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressure.
Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradually.
Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.
ABS: the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.
Rear parking assistance:
the assistance will be deactivated
automatically when a CITROËN towbar is
used (see the "Rear parking assistance"
section of chapter 4).
Towbar
We recommend the use of CITROËN
towbars and their harnesses, which have
been tested and approved from the design
stage of your vehicle, and that the fitting of
this equipment is entrusted to a CITROËN
dealer .
If this equipment is not fitted by a CITROËN
dealer , it is essential that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment located at the
rear of the vehicle in accordance with the
manufacturer ’s instructions.
The operation of the sensors is deactivated
automatically when the pin of the trailer
cable is inserted in the towbar socket.
When the trailer cable pin is removed, the
sensors are re-activated.
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest objects are as close as possible
to the axle and the nose weight is close to
the maximum authorised without, however,
exceeding it. The air density decreases with
altitude, so reducing the performance of
the engine. The maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10 % for each 1 000 metres
of altitude. Refer to the "Technical data"
chapter for details of the weights and towed
loads applicable to your vehicle and also to
the administrative documents
(V5 registration document, etc.).

Fuel
FILLING WITH FUEL
Low fuel level
When the minimum fuel tank
level is reached, this warning
light comes on. At this moment,
you have approximately 6 litres
remaining. Fill up without delay to avoid
running out of fuel.
The fuel tank must be filled with the engine
off .
- Open the fuel filler flap.
- Hold the cap with one hand.
- With the other hand, insert the key and turn it a third of a turn.
- Remove the cap. When the fuel filler flap is open, a
safety system prevents sliding of the
side door.
A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue
after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle. This could
cause malfunctions.
The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 45 litres.
After filling the fuel tank, lock the cap and
close the flap.
FUEL CIRCUIT DEACTIVATED
In the event of a serious collision, a device
automatically cuts off the fuel supply to the
engine and the vehicle’s electrical supply.
This also automatically unlocks the doors
and switches on the interior lights.
A message is displayed on the instrument
panel (depending on model).
Turn the key to position STOP to avoid the
battery being discharged.

Check that there is no smell or leak of fuel
outside the vehicle.
Reactivating
To continue driving, manually re-establish
the fuel supply and the electrical supply:
- with the ignition key in position STOP,
turn it to position RUNNING,
- move the direction indicators control stalk all the way upwards,
- put it to position "Stop",
- move the direction indicators control stalk all the way downwards,
- put it to position "Stop" again,
- move it all the way upwards again,
- put it to position "Stop" again,
- move it all the way downwards again,
- put it to position "Stop" again,
- turn the ignition key to position STOP.
