Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the
bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof
bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
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.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter,
passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
operations recommended in the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle
becomes polluting; go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay to have the emissions of nitrogen oxides brought back to
the legal level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles
(3
000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to
a consistent average.

Recommendations related to the "Hands-free tailgate
access" function
If several passes of your foot below the rear
bumper fail to open the tailgate, wait a few
seconds before starting again.
The function is automatically deactivated in the
event of heavy rain or accumulation of snow.
If the function fails to operate, check that
the electronic key is not exposed to strong
electromagnetic inter ference (a smartphone, ...).
The function may not work correctly with a
prosthetic leg.
The function may not work correctly if your
vehicle is fitted with a towbar. In some circumstances, the tailgate may only
open or close, particularly if:
-
y
our vehicle is fitted with a towbar,
-
y
ou hitch or unhitch a trailer,
-
y
ou fit or remove a bicycle carrier,
-
y
ou load or unload bicycles from a bicycle
c a r r i e r,
-
y
ou place or lift something behind the
vehicle,
-
a
n animal approaches the rear bumper,
-
y
ou are washing your vehicle,
-
a s
ervice is being carried out on your
vehicle,
-
y
ou are accessing the spare wheel
(depending on version).
To avoid such operating problems, keep the
electronic key away from the recognition zone
or deactivate "Hands-free tailgate access".
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.

Memorising the speed setting
This memorisation is in addition to the display
of Speed limit recognition .
The driver can choose to adapt the speed
setting to the speed limit suggested, by
pressing the memorisation button at the speed
limiter controls, with the standard cruise
control, the dynamic cruise control or the
dynamic cruise control with Stop function.
This speed setting then replaces the previous
speed setting for the speed limiter and/or cruise
control. For more information on the Speed
limiter , Cruise control , Dynamic
cruise control or Dynamic cruise
control with Stop function , refer to
the corresponding sections. 1.

Operating limits
The legislation on speed limits is specific to
each country.
The system does not take account of reduced
speed limits in the following cases:
-

-
a

Limits of operation
The radar does not detect:
- Pe destrians, cyclists, animals.
-
S
tationary vehicles (traffic jam, breakdown,
e t c .) .
-
V
ehicles crossing a junction.
-
V
ehicles driving in the opposite direction.
Cases in which the driver is encouraged to
immediately take back control:
-
E
xcessively sharp deceleration of the
vehicle ahead.
-
S
harp cutting in of a vehicle between your
vehicle and the vehicle ahead.
The system must not be activated:
-
I
f the "space-saver" spare wheel is being
used (depending on version).
-
W
hen towing. Be particularly vigilant in the presence
of:
-
M
otorcycles.
-
V
ehicles which are not in the centre
of the traffic lane.
Pausing of the cruise control is required in
the following situations:
-
V
ehicles on a bend.
-
A
pproaching a roundabout.
-
F
ollowing a narrow vehicle.
Reactivate the cruise control as soon as the
conditions permit. The system cannot exceed the limits of the
laws of physics.

Limits of operation
In the following cases, it is recommended
that the system be deactivated in the vehicle
configuration menu:
-
w
hen towing a trailer or caravan,
-
w
hen carrying long objects on roof bars or
a roof rack,
-
b
efore using an automatic car wash, with
the engine running,
-
b
efore placing the vehicle on a rolling road
in a workshop,
-
w
hen the vehicle is being towed, with the
engine running,
-
w
hen a "space-saver" type spare wheel is
fitted (depending on version),
-
f
ollowing impact damage to the windscreen
close to the detection camera,
-
i
f the front bumper has been damaged,
-
i
f the brake lamps are not working.Because of limits in the operation of the
system, it is possible that warnings are
not given, are given too late or seem
unjustified.
Consequently, the driver must always
remain attentive and able to react at any
time to avoid an accident. Where the speed of your vehicle is too
high approaching another vehicle, the
first level of alert may not be displayed:
the level 2 alert may be displayed
di r e c t l y.
Important:
the level 1 alert is never
displayed if the " Close" threshold has
been selected.
Collision Risk Alert
Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert threshold
chosen by the driver, different levels of alert can be
triggered and displayed in the instrument panel.
Level 1: visual alert only, signalling
to you that the vehicle in front is very
close.
The message " Vehicle close" is
displayed.
This level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle
time between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front.
Level 2: visual and audible alert,
warning you that a collision is
imminent.
The message " Brake!" is displayed.
This level of alert is based on the time before
collision. It takes account of the vehicle
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the
one in front, the environmental conditions, the
operation of the vehicle (cornering, pedals
pressed, etc.) to trigger the alert at the best
moment.
Modifying the alert trigger
threshold
This threshold determines how you wish to be
warned of the presence of a vehicle moving
or stationary in front of you, or a pedestrian
present in your traffic lane.
The current threshold can be modified only via
the Driving menu in the touch screen.
You can select one of three thresholds:
-
"Distant ",
-
"Normal ",
-
"Close ".
The last threshold selected is kept in memory
when the ignition is switched off.
