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.
Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan. Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, etc.) and
obser ve the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
With a
BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes
polluting. Visit a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop as soon as possible to
bring your vehicle's nitrogen oxide emissions
back in line with the regulations.
When filling the tank, do not continue after the
3rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 1,900
miles (3,000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a
consistent average.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and
refit your summer tyres. Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer, etc.). Preferably, use a
roof box.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.

Ensure that you are steady on your feet
before making the kicking movement
below the rear bumper.
Take care not to touch the exhaust
system, which may be hot – Risk of burns!
"Hands-free " closing
F If your hands are full, with the remote
control on you in the recognition zone A ,
make a
kicking movement with your foot
below the rear bumper.
Flashing of the direction indicator lamps and
a
beeping sound confirm the request.
Making another kicking movement with your
foot below the bumper while the tailgate is
closing interrupts the movement. A third kicking
movement reverses the direction of movement.
Deactivation
By default, hands-free access is activated.
This function can be activated or deactivated
by selecting " Hands-Free Tailgate Access " in
the Driving menu of the touch screen.
Automatic locking
To lock the vehicle when the tailgate closes
using a kicking movement, activate " Hands-
free tailgate access self-locking " in the
Driving menu of the touch screen.
Recommendations related
to the Hands-Free Tailgate
Access function
If several kicking movements to operate the
tailgate have no effect, wait a
few seconds
before trying again.
If it does not work, check that the electronic key
is not exposed to a
source of electromagnetic
interference (e.g. smartphone).
The function may be deactivated or affected if
there is rain or snow.
The function may not work correctly with
a
prosthetic leg. -

To avoid such operating problems, keep the
electronic key away from the recognition zone
or deactivate the Hands-Free Tailgate Access
function.
After installing a towing device, it is
essential to contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop so that it is taken
into account by the detection system.
Other wise, there is a
risk of malfunction of
the Hands-Free Tailgate Access function.
Ensure that no object or person might
prevent the correct opening or closing of
the tailgate.
Be particularly aware of children when
operating the tailgate.
In some circumstances, the tailgate may open
or close by itself, particularly if:

The airbags may no longer be deployed in the
event of a serious impact.
In the event of a
minor impact or bump on
the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle rolls
over, the airbags may not be deployed.
In the event of a
rear or front collision,
none of the lateral airbags are deployed.Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the safety recommendations
below.
Adopt a
normal and upright sitting
position.
Fasten your seat belt, ensuring it is
positioned correctly.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object, etc.), nor fix or attach anything
close to or in the way of the airbag release
trajectory; this could cause injuries during
their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag systems must
be carried out by a
CITROËN dealer or
a
qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned
are obser ved, a risk of injury or of minor
burns to the head, chest or arms when an
airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out.
The airbag inflates almost instantly (within
a
few milliseconds) then deflates within
the same time discharging the hot gas via
openings provided for this purpose. Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on the
centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on
the dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the
airbags can cause burns or the risk of
injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering
wheel or hit it violently.
Do not fix or attach anything to the
steering wheel or dashboard, this could
cause injuries with deployment of the
airbags.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof,
as this could cause head injuries when
the curtain airbag is deployed.
If fitted to your vehicle, do not remove the
grab handles installed on the roof, they
play a
part in securing the curtain airbags.

Towing device
Load distribution
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. The maximum
towed load must be reduced by 10% for every
1,000
metres of altitude. Use towing devices and their genuine
harnesses approved by CITROËN. It
is recommended that the installation
be per formed by a
CITROËN dealer or
a
qualified workshop.
If the towing device is not fitted by
a CITROËN dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Important : for versions equipped with
the motorised tailgate with "Hands-Free
Tailgate Access" function, if a towing
device other than a genuine CITROËN
one is installed, it is imperative to
visit a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to recalibrate the detection
system: risk of "Hands-Free Tailgate
Access" function failure.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid
functions are automatically disabled if an
approved towing system is used. Obser ve the maximum authorised towable
weight, indicated on your vehicle's
registration certificate, the manufacturer's
label as well as in the Technical data
section of this guide.
Complying with the maximum
authorised nose weight (towball)
also includes the use of accessories
(bicycle carriers, tow boxes, etc.).
Obser ve the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving.
Vehicle equipped with motorised tailgate
with " Hands-Free Tailgate Access "
function
To avoid unwanted opening of the tailgate
when using the towing device:
-
p
lease deactivate this function in advance
in your vehicle's configuration menu,
-
o
r remove the electronic key from the
recognition zone, with the tailgate closed.
