In the event of a fault with the SCR emissions control system
In the event of the detection of a fault
The AdBlue, SERVICE and diagnostic
w
arning lamps come on, accompanied by an
a
udible signal and the display of the message
"
Emissions
f
ault".
The
alert is triggered when driving when the
f
ault is detected for the first time, then when
switching
on the ignition for subsequent
j
ourneys, while the fault persists. During an authorised driving phase (between
650 miles and 0 miles) (1 100 km and 0 km)
If a fault with the SCR system is confirmed
(after
30 miles (50 km) covered with the
p
ermanent display of the message signalling
a
fault), the SERVICE and engine diagnostic
w
arning lamps come on and the AdBlue
w
arning lamp flashes, accompanied by an
a
udible signal and the display of a message
(
e.g. "Emissions fault: Starting prevented in
1
50 miles") indicating the remaining range
e
xpressed in miles or kilometres.
While
driving, the message is displayed every
3
0 seconds while the fault with the SCR system
p
ersists.
The alert is repeated when switching on the ignition.You should go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
Other wise, you will not be able to restart your
engine.
A

checked
by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
If it is a temporary fault, the alert

Lost electronic key
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's registration certificate, your personal identification documents and if possible the key code label.
T he CITROËN dealer will be able to retrieve the key code and the transponder code required to order a new key.
Electronic key
The electronic key 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 electronic key out of range and out of sight of your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it from
w
orking and the remote control would have to be reinitialised.
The
electronic key cannot operate as a remote control when it is in the reader or even when the ignition is switched on.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment by the emergency services more difficult in an emergency.
A s a safety precaution (with children on board), take the electronic key with you when you leave the vehicle, even for a short time.
Electrical interference
The electronic key may not operate if close to certain electronic devices: telephone, laptop computer, strong magnetic fields, ...
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system; this could cause malfunctions.
D on't forget to turn the wheel to lock the steering column.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have all of the keys in your possession paired by a CITROËN dealer, to ensure that only your keys allow your vehicle to be unlocked and started.

Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main service
brake or in an exceptional situation (e.g. driver
t
aken ill, under instruction, etc.) a continuous
p
ull on the control lever will brake the vehicle.
B
raking takes place while the control lever is
b
eing pulled. It is interrupted if the control lever
i
s
r
eleased.
The ABS and DSC systems provide stability of
the
vehicle during emergency braking.
If
the emergency braking malfunctions, the
m
essage "Parking brake control faulty" will be
d
isplayed.
If a failure of the ABS and DSC systems occurs,
signalled
by the illumination of one or both
w
arning lamps in the instrument panel, then
s
tability of the vehicle is no longer guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured by the
driver
by repeating alternate "pull-release"
a
ctions on the control lever until the vehicle is
immobilised. The
emergency braking should only be
u
sed in an exceptional situation.
Repeat this procedure to reactivate automatic
operation.
Reactivation of automatic operation is
confirmed by the indicator lamp in the
instrument
panel
going
off.
Deactivating automatic operation
In some situations, such as very cold weather
or towing (caravan, recovery), it may be
n
ecessary to deactivate automatic operation of
the
system.

Before switching off the engine, you can change to position P or N to be in neutral.
I
n either case, apply the parking brake to
i
mmobilise the vehicle, unless it is programmed
i
n automatic mode.
If the lever is not in position P ,
on opening the
d
river's door or approximately 45 seconds after
s
witching off the ignition there is an audible
s
ignal and a message appears:
F
m
ove the gear selector to position P; the
a
udible signal stops and the message
d
isappears.
Operating fault
Whenever parking, you must apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle, if automatic
o
peration 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
c
omes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by a message and an
a
udible
s
ignal.
In this case the gearbox goes into back-up
m
ode and stays in 3
rd gear. You may then feel a n
oticeable
jolt
when
going from P to R and from
N to R .
This
jolt
does
not present any risk to the
g
earbox.
Do
not
exceed
60

speed limits.

The change from one level of alert to the next takes place if the driving
c
onditions do not change (speed
u
nchanged, no change of lane...)
Severe weather conditions (very heavy
rain, accumulation of snow in front
of the radar) may inter fere with the
operation
of the system, resulting in
t
he display of the message "SYSTEM
I
NACTIVE: Reduced visibility". The
s
ystem remains unavailable until the
message
d
isappears.
If
the speed of your vehicle is too high
w
hen approaching another vehicle, the
f
irst level of alert may not be displayed:
t
he level 2 alert may be displayed
di r e c t l y.
On the other hand, the level 1 alert
is
never displayed with the triggering
t
hreshold 3 (close).
Alerts
According to the collision risk detected by the system and the alert threshold chosen, three
levels
of alert can be triggered.
Level 1 :
visual alert only (orange)
i
ndicating that the vehicle in front is
v
ery close. The message "Vehicle
close "
is displayed.
Level 2 :
visual (red) and audible
a
lerts indicating that a collision is
i
mminent. The message "Brake! " is
displayed.
This level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle
time
between your vehicle and the one in front.
This level of alert is based on a time before
collision.
It takes account of the vehicle
d
ynamics, the speed of your vehicle and
the
speed of the vehicle in front, the driving
c
onditions, the situation with your vehicle
(cornering,
pedals pressed, etc.) to trigger the
a
lert at the right moment.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault, you are alerted
by the display of the Service warning
l
amp, accompanied by a message.
Consult a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
w
orkshop.
The operation of the radar, located in
the front bumper, may be disturbed by
accumulations
of grime (dust, mud...)
o
r in certain weather conditions (snow,
ice...).
The
message "SYSTEM INACTIVE:
V
isibility reduced" is displayed to signal
t
hat the system has been put into
st a n dby.
Clean
the front bumper regularly.

system.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the u nder-inflation w arning lam p a ccompanied b
y illumination of the Service warning lamp
i
ndicates a fault with the system.
A
message appears, accompanied by an
a
udible
s
ignal.
Before
doing anything to the system,
t
he 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
t
yres is no longer assured.
Have
the system checked by a CITROËN
d
ealer or a qualified workshop.
