Under-inflation alertReinitialisation
Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that 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
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
This is given by fixed illumination of
this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and, depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
It is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time one or more tyre pressures are adjusted,
and after changing one or more wheels.

excessive steering movements and sudden
braking.

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
wheel (depending on equipment),
or
F
i
f you have a compressor, such as the one
in the temporary puncture repair kit, check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold,
or
F
i
f it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check. The alert is maintained until the system
is reinitialised.
Initialisation of the system is done with the
ignition on and the vehicle stationary.The new pressure settings registered
are considered to be reference values
by the system.

With the audio system
In the "Personalisation-configuration " menu,
select " Under-inflation initialisation ".
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.
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.
Before doing anything to the system,
the pressures of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.
With the touch screen
Press on " Ye s" to Confirm the command,
initialisation is confirmed by an audible signal
and a message.
Without audio system
F Press this button for about 3 seconds then release it; an
audible signal confirms the

Low fuel level
When the low fuel level in
the tank is reached, this
warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible
warning and a message.
Fuel supply cut-off
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a
collision. When it first comes on, less than 8 litres of fuel
remain in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out.If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have the tank
drained and refilled with the correct
fuel before you star t the engine.
Your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,
a device which helps to reduce the level of
harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.
Diesel misfuel
prevention
Mechanical device which prevents filling the
tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids
the risk of engine damage that can result from
filling with the wrong fuel.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel
prevention device appears when the filler cap
is removed.
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
into contact with the flap. The system remains
closed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel filler
nozzle.
If your vehicle has sliding side doors, do
not open the left hand sliding door as
there is a risk of damaging the fuel filler
flap when refuelling.

Fuel used for Diesel
engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with
biofuels that conform to current and future
European standards and can be obtained from
filling stations:The use of B20 or B30 fuel
meeting standard EN16709
is possible in your Diesel
engine. However, this use,
even occasional, requires
strict application of the special
servicing conditions referred to
as "Arduous conditions".
For more information, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill
the tank but this must be done slowly.
In order to ensure a good flow of fuel,
do not place the nozzle of the fuel can
in direct contact with the flap of the
misfuel prevention device.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different
in other countries, the presence of the misfuel
prevention device may make refuelling
impossible.
Before travelling abroad, we recommend that
you check with the CITROËN dealer network,
whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuel
pumps in the country in which you want to
travel.
The use of any other type of (bio)
fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure
or diluted, domestic fuel...) is strictly
prohibited (risk of damage to the engine
and fuel system).
The only Diesel additives authorised
for use are those that meet the
B715000
standard.

standard EN590 mixed with

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.The snow chains must be fitted only to
the front wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised.Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to
avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and
the road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted
with alloy wheels, check that no part of
the chain or its fixings is in contact with
the wheel rim.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
You can also use snow socks.
For more information, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Advice on installation
F If you have to fit the chains during a
journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face
on the side of the road.
F
A
pply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks to prevent movement of
your vehicle.
F

provided by the manufacturer.
F
M
ove off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50 km/h).
F
S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.

It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.

Towing a trailer
We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved
from the design stage of your vehicle,
and that the fitting of the towbar is
entrusted to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a
CITROËN dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer. Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
For more information on Driving
advice
, particularly when towing, refer
to the corresponding section.

Energy economy mode
System which manages the duration of use of certain functions to conserve a sufficient level of
charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use functions such as the audio and telematics
system, windscreen wipers, dipped beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for a maximum
combined duration of about forty minutes.
Switching to economy
mode
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen indicating that the vehicle has switched
to economy mode and the active functions are
put on standby.
If a telephone call is being made at this time, it
will be maintained for around 10 minutes with
the Bluetooth hands-free system of your audio
system.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically
next time the vehicle is driven.
In order to restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
-
f
or less than ten minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately five minutes,
-
f
or more than ten minutes, to use the
equipment for up to approximately
thirty
m
inutes.
Let the engine run for the duration specified to
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
Do not repeatedly and continuously restart the
engine in order to charge the battery.
A flat battery prevents the engine from starting.
For more information on the 12 V batter y , refer
to the corresponding section.
Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain functions, such as the air conditioning,
the heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
