Active Safety Brake with Collision Risk Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
This system:
–
warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the preceding vehicle.
–
reduces the vehicle's speed to avoid a
collision or to limit its severity
.
The speed will be reduced by a maximum of 16 mph (25 km/h) (versions
with camera only) or by a maximum of 31
mph (50
km/h) (versions with camera and
radar).
The system also takes motorcyclists into account.
It may also react on animals. Animals
(especially animals smaller than 0.5
m)
and objects on the road are not necessarily
detected.
This system includes three functions:
–
Collision
Risk Alert.
–
Intelligent emergency braking assistance
(iEBA).
–
Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency
braking).
The vehicle has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen and, depending on version, a
radar located in the front bumper.
This system does not replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system is designed to assist the driver
and improve road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to continuously
monitor traffic conditions in accordance with
applicable driving regulations.
As soon as the system detects a potential obstacle, it prepares the braking
circuit in case automatic braking is needed.
This may cause a slight noise and a slight
sensation of deceleration.

system.
These systems are in no way designed to keep the driver awake or to prevent
the driver from falling asleep at the wheel.
It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling
tired.
Take a break if you are feeling tired or at least
every 2 hours.
Activation/Deactivation
This function is set via the vehicle configuration menu.
The function is activated by default when the
ignition is switched on.
Coffee Break Alert
The system triggers an alert when it detects that the driver has not taken a
break after two hours of driving at a speed above
43 mph (70
km/h).
This alert is issued via the display of a message
encouraging the driver to take a break,
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the alert
is repeated hourly until the vehicle is stopped.
The system resets itself if one of the following
conditions is met:
–
With the engine running, the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 15 minutes.
– The ignition has been switched off for a few
minutes.
–
The driver's seat belt is unfastened and their
door is opened.
As soon as the speed of the vehicle drops below 43 mph (70 km/h), the
system goes into standby.
Driving time starts being counted again once
the speed reaches above 43
mph (70 km/h).
Driver Attention Warning
Depending on version, the Coffee Break Alert
system may be combined with the Driver
Attention Warning system.
The system assesses the driver's level of alertness, fatigue and distraction by

Compatibility of fuels
Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590, EN16734
and EN16709 standards and containing up to
7%, 10%, 20% and 30% fatty acid methyl ester
respectively. The use of B20 or B30 fuels, even
occasionally, imposes special maintenance
conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".
Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the EN15940
standard.
The use of any other type of (bio) fuel
(e.g. pure or diluted vegetable or animal
oils, domestic fuel) is strictly prohibited - risk
of damaging the engine and fuel system!
The only Diesel fuel additives authorised for use are those that meet the B715000
standard.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel
fuels could prevent the engine from operating
correctly
. In these temperature conditions, use
winter-type Diesel fuel and keep the fuel tank
more than 50
% full.
At temperatures below -15 °C (+5 °F) to avoid
problems starting, it is best to park the vehicle
under shelter (heated garage).
Travelling abroad
Certain fuels could damage your vehicle’s
engine.
In certain countries, the use of a particular
fuel may be required (specific octane rating,
specific trade name, etc.) to ensure correct
operation of the engine.
For all additional information, consult a dealer.
Refuelling
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 69 litres.
Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached,
one of these warning lamps lights
up on the instrument panel, accompanied by the
display of a message and an audible signal.
When it first comes on, about 8 litres of fuel
remain.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
For more information on Running out of fuel
(Diesel), refer to the corresponding section.
A small arrow by the warning lamp indicates which side of the vehicle the
fuel filler flap is located on.
Stop & Start
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Refuelling
At least 8 litres of fuel must be added, in order to
be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may create a noise caused
by an inrush of air. This is entirely normal and
results from the sealing of the fuel system.
To refuel in complete safety:
►
Always switch off the engine.
►
Unlock the vehicle using the Keyless Entry
and Start.
► Open the fuel filler flap.

Traction battery
This battery stores the energy that powers
the electric motor and the thermal comfort
equipment in the passenger compartment. It is
discharged during use, and must therefore be
regularly recharged. There is no need to wait
for the traction battery to fall to its reserve level
before recharging.
The range of the battery may vary according
to the type of driving, the route, the use of
thermal comfort equipment and the ageing of its
components.
The lifespan of the traction battery depends on multiple factors, such as
climatic conditions, distance travelled and
how often it has been fast-charged.
To preserve the mileage of your vehicle and the durability of your traction battery,
CITROËN recommends that you:
–
Do not fully charge the battery of your
electric vehicle daily (charge the traction
battery below 80% as often as possible).
–
Do not completely discharge the battery
.
–
Do not store the vehicle for a long period
of non-use (more than 12
hours) when the
traction battery has a low or high charge level.
Prefer a charge level between 20 and 40%.
–
Limit the use of fast charging.
–
Do not expose the vehicle to temperatures
below -30°C and above +60°C for more than
24
hours.
–
A
void charging the vehicle at negative
temperatures (except if the vehicle ran more
than 20
minutes) or above +30°C.
–
Do not use the vehicle's traction battery as
a generator of energy
.
–
Do not use a generator to recharge your
vehicle's traction battery
.
