2017 CITROEN DISPATCH SPACETOURER brake

242
This system, also called automatic emergency
braking, aims to reduce the speed of impact
or avoid a frontal collision by your vehicle
(between 3 and 87 mph (5 and 140 km/h))
where the driver fails to react.
Using a radar and a camera, this system acts
on the vehicle's braking system.
Active Safety Brake
The driver can take back control of the vehicle
at any time by sharply turning the steering
wheel and/or pressing the accelerator pedal.Operation of the system may be felt by
slight vibration in the brake pedal.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
the automatic braking is maintained
for
1 to 2 seconds.
If your vehicle has a manual gearbox, in
the event of the automatic emergency
braking bringing the vehicle to a
complete stop, the engine may stall.
If your vehicle has an automatic
gearbox, in the event of the automatic
emergency braking bringing the vehicle
to a complete stop, the vehicle will
move off again; press the brake pedal.
If automatic emergency braking is
not activated, you are alerted by the
fixed display of this warning lamp
accompanied by a message.
If the radar and the camera have
confirmed the presence of a vehicle
or a pedestrian, this warning lamp
flashes when the system is operating.
Important
: if operation of the
automatic emergency braking is
triggered, you should take back
control of your vehicle and brake
with the pedal to add to or finish the
automatic braking.

The deactivation or activation of the function is
done in the vehicle configuration menu.
With the audio system
In the "Personalisation-configuration "
menu, activate/deactivate " Auto. emergency

to avoid an accident, this system will
complete the braking.
This emergency braking system will not
act if you press the brake pedal.
With the touch screen
In the vehicle settings menu, activate/
deactivate " Collision risk alert and automatic
braking ". In the event of a fault, you are alerted
by the illumination of this warning

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 on snow chains, 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

F
it the chains following the instructions
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.
Original tyre size Type of chain.
215/65 R16 12 mm links

225/55 R17
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.

Oil grade
Before topping-up the oil or changing the oil,
check that the oil is the correct grade for your
engine and conforms to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Topping-up the engine oil level
The location of the oil filler cap is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.

aperture.

fter checking the level, carefully refit the
oil filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.
After topping-up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil
level indicator in the instrument panel
is not valid during the 30 minutes after
topping-up.
Engine oil change
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emission control system, never use
additives in the engine oil. The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Brake fluid level
Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specification
The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never
exceed it.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised,
wait at least one hour after switching off the
engine before carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When
the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level. The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and
clothing that might be caught by the fan
blades. When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.
Check the coolant level regularly, according
to the use made of your vehicle (every
3 000

miles or 5 000 kms / 3 months); if
necessary, top-up using coolant recommended
by the manufacturer.
Topping-up the coolant between services is
normal.
Power steering fluid level
The power steering fluid level should
be close to the "MA X" mark. With
the engine cold, unscrew the cap to
check the level.

Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service
schedule for the checking interval for
this component.Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
Brake pads
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Brake disc wear
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
units 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.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must be
checked, even between two services.
Checking this system must be done by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
have the condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service
schedule for the checking interval for
this component.
Electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
