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,
p
assenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
o
perations recommended in the manufacturer's service schedule.
With
a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle
b
ecomes polluting; go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
w
ithout delay to have the emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to
t
he legal level.
When
refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
a
void 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.

Operating faults
If several foot movements below the rear
bumper fail to open the tailgate, wait a
f
ew seconds before starting again.
The function is automatically deactivated in the
event
of heavy rain or accumulation of snow.
If
the function fails to operate, check
t
hat the electronic key is not exposed to
s
trong electromagnetic inter ference (a
s
mar tphone, ...).
The
function may not work correctly with a
pro
sthetic
le
g.
The
function may not work correctly if your
v
ehicle is fitted with a towbar. In
some circumstances, the tailgate may only o
pen or close, particularly if:
-
y
our vehicle is fitted with a towbar,
-
y
ou hitch or unhitch a trailer,
-
y
ou fit or remove a bicycle carrier,
-
y
ou load or unload bicycles from a bicycle
c a r r i e r,
-
y
ou place or lift something behind the
v
ehicle,
-
an
animal approaches the bumper,
-
y
ou are washing your vehicle,
-
a
service is being carried out on your
v
ehicle,
-
y
ou are accessing the spare wheel
(
depending
o
n
v
ersion).
To
avoid such operating problems, keep the
e
lectronic key away from the recognition zone
o
r deactivate "Hands-Free Tailgate Access".
Ensure
that no object or person might prevent
t
he correct opening or closing of the tailgate.
Be particularly aware of children when
operating
the tailgate.

Limits of operation
The system cannot exceed the limits of the laws of physics.
It is recommended that the system be
deactivated when the "space-saver" spare
wheel
is in use.
The system should not be activated when
towing
a trailer.
In certain critical situations, the system will
encourage
the driver to immediately take back
c
ontrol:
-
i
f the vehicle in front slows down too much
or too suddenly, and the driver does not
brake,
-
i
f a vehicle comes between your vehicle
and
the vehicle in front. As
the radar's field of detection is quite narrow,
i
t is possible that the system may not detect:
-
v
ehicles of reduced width (motorcycles,
scooters...),
-
v
ehicles not running in the middle of the
lan
e,
-
v
ehicles entering a corner,
-
v
ehicles suddenly pulling out.The
cruise control does not take account of:
-
p
edestrians, cyclists, animals,
-
s
tationary vehicles (traffic jam, red light,
b
reakdown...),
-
v
ehicles crossing a junction,
-
v
ehicles driving in the opposite direction.

Deactivation of the system is recommended in
the following situations:
-
d
riving on a road sur face in poor condition,
-
u
nfavorable weather conditions,
-
d
riving on slippery sur faces (black ice).
The
system is not designed for the following
d

s
ituations:
-
d
riving on a speed circuit,
-
d
riving with a trailer,
-
d
riving on a rolling road,
-
d
riving on unstable sur faces.
In the event of a fault with the system, you are
alerted
by the illumination of these warning
lam
ps in the instrument panel, accompanied by
the
display of a message and an audible signal.
Have
the system checked by a CITROËN
d
ealer or a qualified workshop.

Under-inflation alertReinitialisation
This is given by fixed illumination of t
his warning lamp, accompanied by
a
n audible signal and, depending on
e
quipment, the display of a message. It is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time
one or more tyre pressures are adjusted,
a
nd after changing one or more wheels.
F
R
educe speed immediately, avoid
excessive
steering movements and sudden
b
raking.
F
S
top the vehicle as soon as it is safe
to
do
so. F
I n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary
puncture repair kit or the spare
w
heel (depending on equipment),
or
F
i
f you have a compressor, such as the one
in
the temporary puncture repair kit, check
t
he pressures of the four tyres when cold,
or
F
i
f it is not possible to make this check
i
mmediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always
cause visible bulging of the tyre.
D
o
not satisfy yourself with just a visual
c
heck. The alert is maintained until the system
is
r
einitialised.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing
sn
ow
c
hains.
Before
reinitialising the system, ensure
t
hat 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
i
ncorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

For more information on snow chains, contact a
CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Use
only chains designed to be fitted the type
o
f
wheel on your vehicle:
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
T he snow chains must be fitted only
to
the front wheels. They must never
b
e fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels.
Advice on installation
F If you have to fit the chains during a j
ourney, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face
o
n the side of the road.
F
A
pply the parking brake and position any
w
heel chocks to prevent movement of your
v
ehicle.
F
F
it the chains following the instructions
p
rovided by the manufacturer.
F
M
ove off gently and drive for a few
m
oments, without exceeding 30 mph
(
50 km/h).
F
S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
c
hains are correctly tightened.
Take
account
of
the
legislation
in
force
i
n your country on the use of snow
chains
and
the
maximum
running
speed
a
uthorised. Avoid
driving with snow chains on roads
t
hat have been cleared of snow, to
avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and
t
he road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted
w
ith alloy wheels, check that no part of
t
he chain or its fixings is in contact with
t
he wheel rim.
It
is
strongly
recommended
that
before
y
ou
leave,
you
practise
fitting
the
snow
c
hains
on
a
level
and
dry
