Do not throw the remote control batteries   away,   they   contain   metals  
w

hich   are   harmful   to   the   environment.
Take

po

int.Lost keys
Go to a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's registration document, your personal identification   documents   and   if   possible   the   key   code   label.
The
  CITROËN   dealer   will   be   able   to   look   up   the   key   code   and   the   transponder   code  
r

equired   to   order   a   new   key.
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is a sensitive system; do not operate it while it is in your pocket   as   there   is   a   possibility   that   it   may   unlock   the   vehicle,   without   you   being   aware   of   it.
Do
  not   repeatedly   press   the   buttons   of   your   remote   control   out   of   range   and   out   of   sight   of  
y

our   vehicle.   You   run   the   risk   of   stopping   it   from   working   and   the   remote   control   would   have  
t

o   be   reinitialised.
No
  remote   control   can   operate   when   the   key   is   in   the   ignition   switch,   even   when   the   ignition  
i

s   switched   off,   except   for   reinitialisation.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment by the emergency   services   more   difficult   in   an   emergency.
As
  a   safety   precaution,   never   leave   children   alone   in   the   vehicle,   except   for   a   very   short
 p

eriod.
In
  all   cases,   it   is   essential   to   remove   the   key   from   the   ignition   switch   when   leaving   the   vehicle.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system; this could cause m alfunctions.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the pairing of all of the keys in your possession checked by a CITROËN dealer, to ensure   that   only   your   keys   can   be   used   to   open   and   start   the   vehicle.

Safety

Operation
When your vehicle is too close to or
approaches  the   vehicle   ahead   too   quickly   the  
s

ystem   automatically   applies   the   brakes   to  
a

void   a   collision.
The
  collision   can   be   avoided   automatically   if   the
 d

ifference in speed between your vehicle and the
vehicle
  ahead   does   not   exceed   9   mph   (15   km/h).
Above
  this   threshold,   the   system   will   do   what
 i

s possible to avoid or reduce the accident by
lowering
  the   speed   of   impact.
The
  automatic   braking   may   bring   the   vehicle   to  
a

  complete   stop   if   the   situation   requires   it.
In this case, the vehicle is held stationary
temporarily
  (for   about   1.5   seconds)   to   allow  
t

he   driver   to   take   back   control   by   pressing   the  
b

rake
 ped
al.
You are then alerted by the display of a
message.
The
  brake   lamps   on   your   vehicle   come   on   to  
w

arn   other   road   users.
After
  an   impact,   the   system   is  
a

utomatically   put   out   of   service:   it   no

You
  must   go   to   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified   workshop   to   have   the   system  
m

ade   operational   again.
During
  automatic   braking,   the   driver  
c

an   always   obtain   a   higher   rate   of  
d

eceleration than that controlled by the
system,
  by   pressing   firmly   on   the   brake  
ped

al.
The
  triggering   of   the   system   may   cause  
t

he   engine   to   stall,   unless   the   driver  
d

epresses   the   clutch   pedal   quickly  
e

nough   during   automatic   braking.
deactivation
The system is deactivated in the vehicle configuration   menu,   accessible   with   the   ignition   on.
Its
  state   is   memorised   when   the   ignition   is
 s

witched off.
When the system is deactivated, a m essage   is   displayed   every   time   the

AdBlue® additive and SCR system
f
or
 
BlueHDi   Diesel   engines
To assure respect for the environment and c
onformity   with   the   new   Euro   6   emissions  
s

tandard,   without   adversely   affecting   the  
p

er formance   or   fuel   consumption   of   Diesel  
e

ngines,   CITROËN   has   taken   the   decision   to  
e

quip   its   vehicles   with   an   effective   system   that  
a

ssociates   SCR   (Selective   Catalytic   Reduction)  
w

ith   a   particle   filter   (FAP)   for   the   treatment   of  
e

xhaust   gases.
Presentation of the SCR system
Using an additive called AdBlue® containing u
rea, a catalytic converter turns up to
85% of
 
nitrous
 
oxides
 
(NOx)
 
into
  nitrogen  
a

nd
 
water,
 
which
 
are
 
harmless
 
to   health   and  
t

he environment. The AdBlue
® additive is held in a special
tank
 
located
  under   the   boot   at   the   rear   of  
t

he
 
vehicle.
 
It   has   a   capacity   of   17   litres:   this  
p

rovides
 
a
 
driving   range   of   about   12   500   miles  
(

20
 
000
 
km),
  after   which   an   alert   is   triggered  
w

arning
 
you
 
when   the   reserve   remaining   is  
e

nough
 
for
 
just   1   500   miles   (2   400   km).
During
 
each
  scheduled   service   of   your   vehicle  
b

y
 
a
 
CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop,  
t

he AdBlue
® additive tank is refilled in order to a
llow
 
normal   operation   of   the   SCR   system.
If
 
the
 
estimated   mileage   between   two   services  
i

s
 
greater
 
than   12   500   miles   (20   000   km),   we  
r

ecommend
  that   you   go   to   a   CITROËN   dealer  
o

r
 
a
 
qualified   workshop   to   have   the   necessary  
t

op-up
 
carried   out. Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a
 
system
 
required
  by   regulations  
p

revents
 
starting
 
of   the   engine.
If the SCR

is faulty, the level of
emissions
 
from
 
your   vehicle   will   no  
l

onger
 
meet
 
the
 
Euro   6   standard:   you  
v

ehicle
 
becomes
 
polluting.
In
 
the
 
event
 
of
 
a
 
confirmed   fault  
w

ith
 
the
 
SCR
 
system,   you   must   go  
t

o
 
a
 
CITROËN
 
dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop
 
as
 
soon   as   possible:   after  
a

 
running
 
distance   of   650   miles  
(

1 100
 
km),
 
a
 
system   will   be   triggered  
a

utomatically
 
to
 
prevent   engine  
s

tarting.

a

  CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop   for   the   top-up   required.   If
