2017 CITROEN C4 PICASSO light

176
Using a camera placed at the top
o f the windscreen, the system
assesses the driver's level of
vigilance by identifying variations
in trajectory compared to the lane
markings.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 40
mph (65 km/h)).
When the system interprets the behaviour of
the vehicle as indicating a
certain fatigue or
inattention threshold on the part of the driver, it
triggers the first level of alert.
The driver is then alerted by the message
" Ta k e c a r e ! ", accompanied by an audible
signal. After three first level alerts, the system triggers
a
new alert with the message "
Take a break!
",
accompanied by a more pronounced audible
signal.
In certain driving conditions (poor road
sur face or strong winds), the system may
give alerts independent of the driver's
level of vigilance.
The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
working:
-

p
oor visibility (inadequate lighting of
the roadway, falling snow, heavy rain,
dense fog, etc.),
-

d
azzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on a
damp
road, leaving a
tunnel, alternating
shade and light, etc.),
-

w
indscreen area located in front of the
camera dirty, misted up, frost-covered,
snow-covered, damaged or covered by
a


s t i c ke r,
-
l

ane markings absent, worn, hidden
(snow, mud) or multiple (roadworks,
e t c .),
-

c
lose to the vehicle ahead (lane
markings not detected),
-

r
oads that are narrow, winding, etc.Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the camera.
The internal sur face of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
conceal the detection camera.
Clean the front bumper, especially around
the radar, removing mud, snow, etc.
Parking sensors
Using sensors located in the bumper, this
function warns of the proximity of obstacles
(e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) entering
their field of detection.
Driving

178
The rear parking sensors system will
be deactivated automatically if a trailer
or bicycle carrier is connected to
a
towing device installed in line with the
manufacturer's recommendations.
In this case, the outline of a
trailer is
displayed at the rear of the image of the
vehicle.
The parking sensors are deactivated while the
Park Assist system is measuring a
space.
For more information on the Park Assist , refer
to the corresponding section.
Operating limits
- A front or rear impact to the vehicle can distort the settings of the sensors, which is
not always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be incorrect.
-

T
he tilting of the vehicle if the boot is
very loaded can affect the distance
measurements.
-

T
he sensors may be affected by poor
weather conditions (heavy rain, thick fog,
snowfall, etc.).
Operating fault
If the system fails, when reverse
gear is engaged this warning lamp
flashes for a
few seconds before
lighting up continuously, together
with the Service warning lamp.
A message appears, accompanied by an
audible signal.
Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or
snow.
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the
sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger
the audible signals of the parking sensor
system.
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, direct the
lance at least 30
cm away from the
sensors.
-

C

ertain obstacles located in the sensors'
blind spots may not be detected or no
longer be detected during the manoeuvre.
-

S

ounds such as those emitted by noisy
vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries,
pneumatic drills, etc.) may inter fere with the
vehicle's sensors.
-

C

ertain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
-

A

ccumulated snow or dead leaves on the
road sur face can inter fere with the vehicle's
sensors.
Reversing camera
The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
Driving

180
This system is a visual aid that cannot in
a ny circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The images provided by the camera(s)
may be distorted by the relief. The
presence of areas in shadow, bright
sunlight, or poor lighting conditions may
make the image dark and reduce contrast.
Forward vision
The camera situated on the front bumper is
activated and the views of the area to the
front left and the area to the front right of your
vehicle appear simultaneously in the instrument
panel.
Rear vision
The camera situated on the tailgate is activated
and the view of the area behind your vehicle is
displayed in the instrument panel and behaves
as a
reversing camera, regardless of the
position of the gear selector.
The blue outline represents the width of
your vehicle (without mirrors): its orientation
depends on the position of the steering wheel.
The red line represents the distance of 30 cm)
from the rear bumper and the two green lines
the distances of 1 m and 2 m respectively from
the rear bumper.
The rear vision is displayed automatically
when reverse gear is engaged, regardless
of the state of the system.
Vision 360
The cameras situated on the front and rear
bumpers as well as those below the door
mirrors activate and a view from above of your
vehicle in its close environment is generated
and is displayed in the instrument panel.
Opening a door or the tailgate will disrupt the
3 60 and rear views.
Installation of the very cold climate screen will
alter the image transmitted by the front camera.

Fuel
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 57 litres
(petrol) or 55 litres (Diesel).
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached,
this warning lamp in the instrument
panel comes on, accompanied by
an audible warning, a message and
the last bar of the fuel gauge lights
up orange.
When it first comes on there remains
approximately 6


litres of fuel in the tank.
Until sufficient fuel has been added, this
warning lamp appears every time the ignition
is switched on, accompanied by an audible
warning and a
message. This audible warning
and this message are repeated with increasing
frequency as the fuel level drops towards " 0".
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out.
Refilling
A self-adhesive label on the inner face of the
filler flap reminds you of the type of fuel to use,
depending on your engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5
litres, in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge. To refuel in complete safety:
F

Y
ou must switch off the engine.
F
W
ith the vehicle unlocked, press the rear
edge of the flap to open it (the filler cap is
a part of it).
F T ake care to select the pump that delivers
the correct type of fuel for your vehicle.
F

I
nsert the nozzle so as to push in the metal
non-return flap.
F

M
ake sure that the nozzle is pushed in as
far as possible before starting to refuel (risk
of blowback). If you are filling your tank to the top, do not
continue after the 3
rd cut- off of the nozzle;
this could cause malfunctions.
Your vehicle is fitted with a
catalytic converter,
a device which helps to reduce the level of
harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded
fuel.
The filler neck is narrower, allowing only
unleaded petrol nozzles to be introduced.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have the fuel
tank drained and filled with the correct
fuel before star ting the engine.
Fuel cut- of f
Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that
c uts off the supply of fuel in the event of an
impact.
Opening the filler flap may create a

noise
caused by an inrush of air. This is entirely
normal and results from the sealing of the fuel
system. F
H
old it in this position throughout the filling
operation.
F
P
ush the filler flap to close it.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
engine in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the "START/STOP"
button.

Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, CITROËN selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi engines)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the per formance or fuel
consumption of Diesel engines, CITROËN
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles
with a
system that associates SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) with a
Diesel particle filter
(DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR system
Using a fluid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85%
of nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.
The AdBlue
® is contained in
a
special tank holding about
17


litres.
Its capacity allows a

driving range of around
12,500

miles (20,000

km). An alert system is
triggered automatically once the reser ve level
is reached: you can then drive for a
further
1,500

miles (2,400

km) before the tank is
e m pt y. Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a system
required by regulations prevents starting
of the engine.
If the SCR system is defective, the level of
emissions from your vehicle will no longer
meet the Euro 6

standard: your vehicle
becomes polluting.
In the event of a

confirmed fault with the
SCR system, you must go to a
CITROËN
dealer or a

qualified workshop as soon
as possible: after a
running distance of
685

miles (1,100

km), a system will be
triggered automatically to prevent engine
starting.
In either case, a range indicator gives you
the distance you can travel before the
vehicle is immobilised.
For more information on the Warning and
indicator lamps and associated alerts,
refer to the corresponding section.
Freezing of the AdBlue
®
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below
around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a
heater for the
AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to continue
driving in very cold conditions.
Practical information

205
Topping up the AdBlue®
Filling the AdBlue® tank is an operation
included in every routine ser vice on your
vehicle by a

CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Nevertheless, given the capacity of the tank, it
may be necessary to top up the fluid between
services, more particularly if an alert (warning
lamps and a


message) signals the requirement.
You can go to a

CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If you envisage topping up yourself, please
read the following warnings carefully.
Supply of AdBlue®
It is recommended that the AdBlue® is
topped up as soon as the first alert is
issued indicating that the reser ve level has
been reached.
In order to ensure that the SCR system
operates correctly:
-

U

se only AdBlue
® liquid that meets the
ISO
22241
standard.
-

N

ever transfer AdBlue
® to another
container: it would lose its purity.
-

N

ever dilute AdBlue
® with water. You can obtain AdBlue
® from a CITROËN
d
ealer or a

qualified workshop.
You can also visit a
petrol station
equipped with AdBlue
® pumps specially
designed for passenger vehicles (for those
versions with access to the AdBlue
® tank
via the fuel filler flap).
Never top up from an AdBlue
® dispenser
reserved for heavy goods vehicles.
Recommendations on
storage
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and
deteriorates above 25°C. It should be stored in
a

cool place and protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept
for at least a
year.
If the additive has frozen, it can be used once it
has completely thawed out.
Never keep containers or bottles of
AdBlue
® in your vehicle.
Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This liquid
is
non-flammable, colourless and odourless
(when kept in a
cool place).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
affected area with soap and water. In the event
of contact with the eyes, wash (irrigate) the
eyes with large amounts of water or with an eye
wash solution for at least 15
minutes. If you feel
a

persistent burning sensation or irritation, get
medical attention.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (at high temperature,
for example), the risk of release of ammonia
cannot be excluded: do not inhale the vapour.
Ammonia has an irritant effect on mucous
membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Keep AdBlue
® out of the reach of children,
in its original container or bottle.
Procedure
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure
that the vehicle is parked on a flat and level
sur face.

a
protective coating:
F

d
o not clean them using a dr y or
abrasive cloth, nor with a
detergent
or solvent product,
F

u
se a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product,
F

w
hen using a high pressure washer
on persistent marks, do not keep the
lance directed towards the lamps or
their edges for too long, so as not to
damage their protective coating and
seals.
Changing a
bulb should only be done after
the lamp has been switched off for several
minutes (risk of serious burns).
F

D
o not touch the bulb directly with your
fingers, use a
lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the
headlamp.
Always replace a
failed bulb with a new
bulb with the same type and specification. In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is
normal; it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a
few minutes.
Risk of electrocution
Xenon bulbs (D5S-25W) must be replaced
by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
