In the event of a fault with the SCR emissions control system
In the event of the detection of a fault
The AdBlue, SERVICE and diagnostic
warning lamps come on, accompanied by an
audible signal and the display of the message
"Emissions fault".
The alert is triggered when driving when the
fault is detected for the first time, then when
switching on the ignition for subsequent
journeys, while the fault persists.During an authorised driving phase (between
650 miles and 0 miles) (1 100 km and 0 km)
If a fault with the SCR system is confirmed
(after 30 miles (50 km) covered with the
permanent display of the message signalling
a fault), the SERVICE and engine diagnostic
warning lamps come on and the AdBlue
warning lamp flashes, accompanied by an
audible signal and the display of a message
(e.g. "Emissions fault: Starting prevented in
150 miles") indicating the remaining range
expressed in miles or kilometres.
While driving, the message is displayed every
30 seconds while the fault with the SCR system
persists.
The alert is repeated when switching on the ignition.You should go to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop as soon as possible.
Other wise, you will not be able to restart your
engine.
A system that prevents engine starting is activated automatically from 650 miles (1 100 km) after confirmation of a fault with the SCR emissions
control system. Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
If it is a temporary fault, the alert
disappears during the next journey,
after self-diagnosis of the SCR system.
Starting prevented
Every time the ignition is switched on, the
SERVICE and engine diagnostic warning
lamps come on and the AdBlue warning lamp
flashes, accompanied by an audible signal and
the display of the message "Emissions fault:
Starting prevented".
You have exceeded the authorised
driving limit: the starting prevention
system inhibits engine starting.
To be able to start the engine, you must
call on a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Lost electronic key
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's registration certificate, your personal identification documents and if possible the key code label.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to retrieve the key code and the transponder code required to order a new key.
Electronic key
The electronic key is a sensitive system; do not operate it while it is in your pocket as there is a possibility that it may unlock the vehicle, without
you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your electronic key out of range and out of sight of your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it from
working and the remote control would have to be reinitialised.
The electronic key cannot operate as a remote control when it is in the reader or even when the ignition is switched on.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment by the emergency services more difficult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on board), take the electronic key with you when you leave the vehicle, even for a short time.
Electrical interference
The electronic key may not operate if close to certain electronic devices: telephone, laptop computer, strong magnetic fields, ...
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system; this could cause malfunctions.
Don't forget to turn the wheel to lock the steering column.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have all of the keys in your possession paired by a CITROËN dealer, to ensure that only your keys allow your vehicle to be unlocked
and started.

Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main service
brake or in an exceptional situation (e.g. driver
taken ill, under instruction, etc.) a continuous
pull on the control lever will brake the vehicle.
Braking takes place while the control lever is
being pulled. It is interrupted if the control lever
is released.
The ABS and DSC systems provide stability of
the vehicle during emergency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions, the
message "Parking brake control faulty" will be
displayed.
If a failure of the ABS and DSC systems occurs,
signalled by the illumination of one or both
warning lamps in the instrument panel, then
stability of the vehicle is no longer guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured by the
driver by repeating alternate "pull-release"
actions on the control lever until the vehicle is
immobilised.The emergency braking should only be
used in an exceptional situation.
Repeat this procedure to reactivate automatic
operation.
Reactivation of automatic operation is
confirmed by the indicator lamp in the
instrument panel going off.
Deactivating automatic operation

Before switching off the engine, you can
change to position P or N to be in neutral.
In either case, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle, unless it is programmed
in automatic mode.
If the lever is not in position P, on opening the
driver's door or approximately 45 seconds after
switching off the ignition there is an audible
signal and a message appears:
F

ove the gear selector to position P; the
audible signal stops and the message
disappears.
Operating fault
Whenever parking, you must apply the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle, if automatic
operation has been deactivated.
Parking the vehicle
In all circumstances, ensure that the
gear selector is in position P before
leaving your vehicle. In the event of a fault with the
gearbox, the service warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by a message and an
audible signal.
In this case the gearbox goes into back-up
mode and stays in 3
rd gear. You may then feel
a noticeable jolt when going from P to R and
from
N to R . This jolt does not present any risk
to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) while also
observing legal speed limits.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In the event of a battery failure, use the
chock to immobilise the vehicle.

Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to
avoid a collision, this system will complete the
braking, within the limits of the laws of physics.
This assistance will only be provided if you
press the brake pedal.
Deactivation / Activation
By default, the system is automatically
activated at every engine start.
The system can be deactivated or activated in

In the event of a fault, this warning
lamp flashes for a few moments in
the instrument panel, accompanied
by illumination of the Service warning
lamp and the display of a message.
Operating fault
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather
conditions (rain, hail, etc.).
In particular, driving on a wet sur face
or moving from a dry area to a wet area
can cause false alerts (for example, the
presence of a fog of water droplets in
the blind spot angle is interpreted as a
vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered by mud, ice
or snow.
Take care not to cover the warning zone
in the door mirrors or the detection
zones on the front and rear bumpers
with adhesive labels or other objects;
they may hamper the correct operation
of the system.
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, direct the
lance at least 30 cm away from the
sensors.In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the door
mirror on the side in question, a correction of
trajectory will be felt if you cross a lane marking
with the direction indicators on, to help you
avoid a collision.
Conditions for operation
The following systems must be activated:
-
B lind Spot Monitoring System,
-
A

Before doing anything to the system,
the pressures of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.
The under-inflation alert can only be
relied on if reinitialisation of the system
is done with the four tyre pressures
correctly set. In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer assured.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
