Gear efficiency indicator
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one or more gears.
You can follow this instruction without going
through the intermediate gears.-
Y
ou press the accelerator pedal.
-
Y
ou are in third gear.-
T
he system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear.
The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow.
On vehicles with manual gearbox, the arrow
may be accompanied by the recommended
g e a r.
The system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (gradient, load,
...)
and the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking,
...).
The system never suggests:
-
e
ngaging first gear,
-
enga
ging reverse gear.
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most suitable gear.
Example:
On certain BlueHDi Diesel versions
with manual gearbox, the system
may suggest changing into neutral
( N is displayed in the instrument
panel) so that the engine can go into
standby (STOP mode with Stop &
Start), in certain driving conditions.
This function cannot be deactivated. The gear engagement
recommendations must not be
considered compulsory.
This is because the configuration of
the road, traffic density and safety
remain impor tant factors in the
choice of the best gear.
The gear efficiency indicator system
does not replace the need for vigilance
on the part of the driver.

Reversing camera with display in the interior mirror
The visual aid reversing camera is activated
automatically when reverse gear is engaged.
The function may be completed with parking
sensors.Opening the tailgate or rear door
(depending on equipment) can inter fere
with the display.
If a side door is open, allow for the
space it occupies.
Some deformation of the image is
normal.
The reversing camera cannot in any
circumstances be a substitute for
vigilance on the part of the driver. Check the cleanliness of the camera
lens regularly.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.
The image is displayed in the interior mirror.
High pressure jet washing (if muddy,
for example)
When washing your vehicle, do not
place the tip of the lance within 30
cm
of the camera as there is a risk of
damaging it.
The blue lines represent the width of your
vehicle including the mirrors.
The red line represents a distance of 30 cm
from the rear bumper and the thin blue lines
respectively 1 m (

180° rear vision
This system allows the near surroundings of the
vehicle to be viewed in the display screen using
cameras located at the rear of the vehicle. The
parking sensors in the rear and/or front bumper
complete the information on the view from
above the vehicle (right-hand part).
In addition to the view from above the vehicle
(right-hand part) several types of view can be
displayed (left-hand part):
-
s
tandard rear view,
-
1
80° rear view,
-
r
econstructed zoom rear view.
Principle of image
reconstruction
The system displays the contextual view (left-
hand part) as well as the view from above the
vehicle in its close surroundings.
By default, automatic mode is activated.
In this mode, the system chooses the best view
to display (standard or zoom) according to the
information received from the parking sensors.
The 180° view is only available through the
menus. The display disappears above
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
The system is automatically deactivated
about 7 seconds after coming out of
reverse or on opening a door or the
boot. This system is a visual aid and cannot
in any circumstances replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The images provided by the cameras
may appear distorted by the
surroundings (exterior conditions,
driving mode,
...).
The presence of areas in shadow, bright
sunlight, or poor lighting conditions
may make the image dark and reduce
contrast.
Using the rear camera, the system records the
vehicle's surroundings during a manoeuvre.
An image from above your vehicle in its close
surroundings is reconstructed (represented
between the blue brackets) in real time and as
the manoeuvre progresses.
This representation facilitates the alignment of
your vehicle when parking and allows you to
see all of the obstacles close to the vehicle.
This reconstructed view is automatically erased
if the vehicle remains stationary for too long.

"Standard view""180° view"
"Zoom view" (reconstructed)
The camera records the surroundings during a
manoeuvre in order to create a reconstruction
of the view from above the rear of the vehicle in
its close surroundings, allowing the vehicle to
be manoeuvred among the obstacles nearby.
This view is available with AUTO view or by
selecting of the view in the change view menu.
180° view makes it possible to reverse out of
a parking space while being able to see the
arrival of vehicles, pedestrians or cyclists.
This view is not recommended for carrying out
a complete manoeuvre.
It is made up of the following:
The area to the rear of your vehicle is displayed
in the screen.
The blue outline represents the width of your
vehicle (with mirrors): its orientation depends
on the position of the steering wheel.
The red line represents a distance of 30
cm
from the rear bumper and the two blue lines,
1
m and 2 m respectively.
Rear views
Engage reverse gear to activate the camera,
located on the tailgate or rear door.
The rear parking sensors also
provide information on the vehicle's
surroundings.
Obstacles may appear further away
than they are in reality.
It is important to check the side views
using the mirrors during the manoeuvre.

AdBlue® and SCR system
for BlueHDi Diesel engines
To assure respect for the environment and
conformity with the new Euro 6 emissions
standard, without adversely affecting the
per formance or fuel consumption of Diesel
engines, CITROËN has taken the decision to
equip its vehicles with an effective system that
associates SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction)
with a particle filter (FAP) for the treatment of
exhaust gases.
Presentation of the SCR system
Using a fluid called AdBlue® containing 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 held in a special tank with
a capacity of about 22 litres: this provides
a driving range of about 12 500 miles
(20
000
km), after which an alert is triggered
warning you when the reserve remaining is
enough for just 1 500 miles (2 400 km).
During each scheduled service of your vehicle
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop,
the AdBlue
® tank is refilled in order to allow
normal operation of the SCR system. Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a
s
ystem required by regulations prevents
starting of the engine.
If the SCR
is faulty, 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 650 miles
(1
100 km), a system will be triggered
automatically to prevent engine starting.
When filling the tank, the filling rate
must not exceed 40 litres per minute.
If the estimated mileage between two services
is greater than 12 500 miles (20 000 km), we
recommend that you go to a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the necessary
top-up carried out.
