This mode, when moving off, allows
considerable spin on the wheel with the least
grip to optimise clearing of the mud and regain
grip. At the same time, the wheel with the most
grip is controlled in such a way as to transmit
as much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully
as possible.

Driving advice
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you
to drive on other less passable terrain
occasionally.
However, it does not permit off-road
driving such as:
-

c
rossing and driving on terrain
which could damage the underbody
or strip away components (fuel
pipe, fuel cooler...) due to obstacles
or stones in particular,
-

d
riving on terrain with steep
gradients and poor grip,
-

c
rossing a stream.

Safety

193
To assure the durability of your vehicle and
your safety, remember that certain precautions,
described hereafter, should be taken when
driving your vehicle:
Load the vehicle correctly
With a load carried, the vehicle must remain
within the maximum authorised weight, the
Gross Vehicle Weight.
To avoid upsetting the balance of the vehicle,
the load should be centred and the heaviest
part placed on the floor in front of the rear
wheels.
Manoeuve cautiously, at
low speed
The dimensions of your vehicle differ from
those of a light vehicle, in width, in height, as
well as in length, and some obstacles will be
more difficult to notice.
Manoeuvre slowly.
Before turning, check that there are no
obstacles at mid-height along the sides.
Before reversing, check that there are no
obstacles, particularly at high level behind the
vehicle.
Be aware of the external dimensions, if ladders
are fitted.It is inadvisable to place heavy loads on a roof
rack.
Loading the roof rack also requires you not
to exceed the maximum load on the roof rack
anchorages. Observe the maximum authorised
weight, available from CITROËN dealers.
Loads must be securely lashed down.
Cargo that is not properly secured inside the
vehicle can adversely affect the handling of the
vehicle and create the risk of accident.
If your vehicle is fitted with a drop-side back,
the height and width of the load must remain
within the overall dimensions of the vehicle.
Drive the vehicle in a
prudent and efficient way
Take corners gently.
Anticipate the need to brake as the stopping
distance is increased, particularly on wet or icy
roads.
Be aware of the effect of side winds on the
vehicle.
Effective eco-driving saves fuel; accelerate
progressively, anticipate the need to slow down
and adapt your speed to suit the situation.
Indicate changes of direction well in advance
so that you are seen by other road users.
Take care
The tyres must be inflated to at least the
pressures indicated on the label, even over-
inflated by 0.2 to 0.3 bar for long journeys.
After ensuring that no obstacle might prevent
closing, guide the movement of the door at the
right speed until it closes.

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.
Driving

209
When the ignition is on, a message
appears in the instrument panel
screen to indicate a gearbox fault.
Operating fault
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel
a substantial knock when changing from P
to R and from N to R. This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. You risk damaging the gearbox:
-

i
f you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time
(braking or acceleration must be
done only with the right foot),
-
i
f you force the selector from
position P to another position when
the battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffic jam...), position
the selector at N and apply the parking
brake.
Stopping the vehicle
A stiff point may be noticed when
moving to position P .
If the selector is not in position P ,
when the driver's door is opened or
approximately 45 seconds after the
ignition is switched off, there is an
audible signal and a message appears.
F

R
eturn the selector to position P ;
the audible signal stops and the
message disappears.
Before switching off the engine, select
position


P then apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle. In all circumstances, ensure that the
selector is in position P before leaving
your vehicle. On a steep slope with a loaded
vehicle, press the brake pedal
, select
position

P
, apply the parking brake then
release the brake pedal.

Stop & StartGoing into engine
STOP mode
If your vehicle has a manual gearbox, its
speed must be below 12 mph (20 km/h) or
stationary (depending on engine); the "ECO"
indicator lamp comes on in the instrument
panel and the engine goes into standby
automatically when you place the gear lever in
neutral and you release the clutch pedal.
For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
Stop & Start does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering...
A slight delay between the vehicle
stopping and the engine cutting out may
be noticed.If your vehicle is fitted with
Stop & Start, a time counter
calculates the time spent in
STOP mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on.
Stop & Start time counter
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
t emporarily into standby - STOP mode - during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or
other...). The engine restarts automatically -
START mode - as soon as you want to move
off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly
and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox
and the vehicle is stationary, the "ECO"
indicator lamp comes on and the engine goes
into standby automatically when you press
the brake pedal or place the gear selector in
position N .
If your vehicle has an electronic gearbox and
the vehicle's speed is below 5 mph (8
km/h),
the "ECO" indicator lamp comes on and the
engine goes into standby automatically when
you press the brake pedal or place the gear
selector in position N . (minutes / seconds or hours / minutes)
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP
mode; you must switch off the
ignition with the button.
Driving

258
Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres. The under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance
on the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
road holding, extends braking distances
and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous conditions
(high loading, high speed, long journey).
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label.
For more information on the
Identification markings, refer to the
corresponding section.
Tyre pressures should be checked
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of
less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to
the pressures shown on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing
snow chains.
Spare wheel
The steel spare wheel does not have an
under-inflation detection sensor.

Practical information

262
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 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.
