Restarting the engine (START mode)
The engine automatically restarts as soon as the
driver indicates the intention of moving off again:
With a manual gearbox: with the clutch pedal
fully depressed.
With an automatic gearbox:
–
With the selector in position D
or M: with the
brake pedal released.
–
With the selector in position N
and the brake
pedal released: with the selector at D or M.
–
With the selector in position P
and the brake
pedal depressed: with the selector at R, N, D
or M.
–
Reverse gear engaged.
Special cases
The engine will restart automatically if the
conditions for operation are met again and in the
following case:
–
V
ehicle speed exceeds 2 mph (3 km/h)
(depending on engine).
In this case, this indicator lamp flashes for
a few seconds, then goes off.
Malfunctions
Depending on the vehicle’s equipment:In the event of a system malfunction, this
warning lamp flashes on the instrument
panel.
The warning lamp in this button flashes and a message appears, accompanied by
an audible signal.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The vehicle stalls in STOP mode
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come
on if there is a fault.
Depending on version, a warning message
may also be displayed, prompting you to place
the gear selector in position N and depress the
brake pedal.
►
Switch off the ignition then start the engine
again with the key or the " ST
ART/STOP" button.
12 V battery
The Stop & Start system requires a
12 V battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work must be carried out only by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
Tyre under-inflation detection
This system alerts the driver if one or more tyres
suffer a drop in pressure.
The alert is raised when the vehicle is moving,
not when stationary.
It compares the information given by the wheel
speed sensors with reference values, which
must be reinitialised every time the tyre
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.
It takes into account the last values stored
during the reinitialisation request. It is therefore
essential that the tyre pressure is correct during
the operation. This operation is the driver’s
responsibility.
The tyre under-inflation detection cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
regularly check the tyre pressures (including
the spare wheel), especially before a long
journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy load, high
speed, long journey):
–
worsens road-holding.
–
lengthens braking distances.
–
causes premature wear of the tyres.
–
increases energy consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for the vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the Identification
markings, refer to the corresponding section.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done monthly
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1 hour or after a journey of less than 6 miles
(10
km) at moderate speeds).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures
shown on the label.

Driving
instrument panel must match that of the
country you are driving in.
Automatic sign reading is a driving aid system and does not always display the
correct speed limits.
The speed limit signs present on the road
always take priority over those displayed by
the system.
The system is designed to detect signs that
conform to the Vienna Convention on road
signs.
Specific speed limits, such as those for
heavy goods vehicles, are not displayed.
The display of the speed limit on the
instrument panel is updated when passing
a speed limit sign intended for cars (light
vehicles).
Activation/Deactivation
By default, the system is automatically activated
at every engine start.
The settings are changed via the Driving/Vehicle touch screen
menu.
Information displayed on
the instrument panel
1. Detected speed limit indication
or
2. End of speed limit indication
The system is active but is not detecting speed
limit information.
On detecting speed limit information, the system
displays the value.
For a suggested maximum speed, the first time
that the vehicle exceeds it
by more than 3 mph
(5
km/h) (e.g. 59 mph (95 km/h)), the speed is
displayed and flashes for 10 seconds (depending
on version).
Operating limits
The system does not take account of reduced
speed limits, especially those imposed in the
following cases:
–
Atmospheric pollution.
–
Towing.
–
Driving with a space-saver type spare wheel
or snow chains fitted.
–
T
yre repaired using the temporary puncture
repair kit.
–

The system may not display the speed limit if it
does not detect a speed limit sign within a preset
period and in the following situations:
–
Road signs that are obstructed, non-standard,
damaged or bent.
–
Obsolete or incorrect maps.
Recommendation
In addition to Road signs recognition , the
driver can select the speed displayed as a speed
setting for the speed limiter or cruise control
using the speed limiter or cruise control 'store'
button.

The system is automatically deactivated when the use of certain types of
"space-saver" spare wheel (smaller diameter)
is detected, or if a fault with the brake pedal
switch or at least two brake lamps is detected.
It can be dangerous to drive if the brake
lamps are not in perfect working order.
The driver must not overload the vehicle (keep within the GVW limit and load
height limits for roof bars).
It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
The driver must always stay in control of the
vehicle and be prepared to react at any time
to avoid an accident.
Following an impact, the system is
automatically deactivated.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Collision Risk Alert
This function warns the driver that their vehicle
is at risk of a collision with the vehicle in front or
with a pedestrian present in their traffic lane.
Operation
Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert trigger
threshold chosen by the driver, several different
levels of alert may be triggered and displayed on
the instrument panel.
The system takes account of the vehicle
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the one
in front, the environmental conditions and the
operation of the vehicle (actions on the pedals,
steering wheel, etc.) to trigger the alert at the
most relevant moment.
(orange)
Level 1: visual alert only, warning you
that the vehicle in front is very close.
The message
"Vehicle close" is displayed.
(red)
Level 2: visual and audible alert, warning
you that a collision is imminent.
The message "Brake! " is displayed.
Level 3: in some cases, a vibration alert in the
form of micro-braking can be given, confirming
the risk of collision.
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 directly.
Important: the level 1 alert is not displayed
when there is a stationary obstacle or when
the "Close" trigger threshold has been
selected.
Modifying the alert trigger threshold
This trigger threshold determines the sensitivity
with which the function warns of the risk of
collision.
The threshold is set via theDriving/Vehicle touch screen
menu.
►
Select one of the three pre-defined
thresholds: "Far", "Normal" or "Close".
The last threshold selected is memorised when
the ignition is switched off.

Driving
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance (iEBA)
This function supplements braking in the event
that the driver brakes, but not enough to avoid a
collision.
This assistance will only be provided if the driver
presses the brake pedal.
Active Safety Brake
This function, also called automatic emergency
braking, intervenes following the alerts if the
driver does not react quickly enough and does
not operate the vehicle's brakes.
The system aims to reduce the speed of impact
or avoid a collision where the driver fails to react.
The speed will be reduced by a maximum of 16 mph (25 km/h) for
versions with camera only, or by a maximum
of 31 mph (50
km/h) for versions with camera
and radar.
Operation
The system operates subject to the following
conditions:
–
At reduced speed in an urban environment,
when a pedestrian is detected.
–
At reduced speed in an urban environment,
when a stationary vehicle is detected.
–
The vehicle's speed is between 6 mph and
53 mph (10
km/h and 85 km/h) when a moving
vehicle is detected.
This warning lamp flashes (for approximately 10 seconds) as soon as
the function applies the vehicle’s brakes.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event of
automatic emergency braking bringing the
vehicle to a complete stop, keep the brake pedal
depressed to prevent the vehicle from moving
off again.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic
emergency braking bringing the vehicle to a
complete stop, the engine may stall.
The driver can maintain control of the vehicle at any time by firmly turning the
steering wheel and/or firmly depressing the
accelerator pedal.
The brake pedal may vibrate slightly while the function is operating.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 2
seconds.
Deactivation/Activation
By default, the system is automatically activated
at every engine start.
The settings are changed via the Driving/Vehicle touch screen
menu.
Deactivation of the system is signalled by
the illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a message.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If these warning lamps come on
after the engine has been switched
off and then restarted, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
These warning lamps light up on the instrument panel to indicate
that the driver's and/or front passenger's seat
belt is not fastened (depending on version). The

Installation of a bicycle carrier on the tailgate
or side-hinged door (depending on version).
–
Attachment of a trailer to the towball.
–
Driving with a door open.
Please note, the cameras must not be
obscured (by a sticker, a bicycle carrier,
etc.).
The field of vision of the rear camera (surveillance rear view and visual
reversing aid) may vary depending on the
load in the vehicle.
If the side-hinged door is opened during
use of the surveillance rear view or the
visual aid for reversing, in forward gear or
reverse gear, the output screen becomes
grey.
If the front passenger door is opened during
use of the passenger side view, in forward
gear or reverse gear, the output screen
becomes grey.
If a trailer is attached to the towball,
when reverse gear is engaged the visual
reversing aid will no longer work until the
trailer is disconnected. The surveillance rear
view becomes the default view.
If the system develops a malfunction, go
to a CITROËN dealer to avoid any safety
problems.

–
after 10 manoeuvres to enter or exit a parallel
parking space and after 7 manoeuvres to enter a
parking bay
.
Interrupting the manoeuvre automatically
deactivates the function.
The manoeuvre symbol is displayed in red,
accompanied by the " Manoeuvre cancelled"
message on the touch screen.
A message prompts the driver to take back
control of the vehicle.
The function is deactivated after a few seconds; this indicator lamp goes off and
the function returns to the initial display.
End of the parking space entry or exit
manoeuvre
The vehicle stops as soon as the manoeuvre is
completed.
The manoeuvre symbol is displayed in red,
accompanied by the message " Manoeuvre
completed" on the touch screen.
When the function is deactivated, this
indicator lamp goes off, accompanied by
an audible signal.
When entering a parking space, the driver may
be required to complete the manoeuvre.
Operating limits
– The system may suggest an inappropriate
parking space (parking prohibited, work in
progress with damaged road surface, location
alongside a ditch, etc.).
–
The system may indicate that a space has
been found but will not offer it because of a fixed
obstacle on the opposite side of the manoeuvre,
which would not allow the vehicle to follow a
trajectory required for parking.
–
The system may indicate that a space has
been found but the manoeuvre will not be
triggered, because the width of the lane is
insufficient.
–
The system is not designed for performing the
parking manoeuvre on a sharp bend.
–
The system does not detect spaces that
are much larger than the vehicle itself or that
are delimited by obstacles that are too low
(pavements, studs, etc.) or too thin (trees, posts,
wire fences, etc.).
–
If the boot is heavily loaded, the tilt of the
vehicle towards the rear may interfere with the
distance measurements.
Do not use the function under the
following exterior conditions:
–
Alongside a soft shoulder (e.g. ditch) or
quay or on the edge of a drop.
–
When the road surface is slippery (e.g. ice).
If any of the following malfunctions
occurs, do not use the system:
–
If a tyre is under-inflated.
–
If one of the bumpers is damaged.
–
If one of the cameras is faulty
.
If the vehicle has undergone any of the
following modifications, do not use the
function:
–
When carrying an object extending beyond
the dimensions of the vehicle (ladder on the
roof bars, bicycle carrier on the tailgate, etc.).
–
With a non-approved towball in place.
–
With snow chains fitted.
–
When driving on a small-diameter or
"space-saver" type spare wheel.
–
When the wheels fitted are a different size
from the original ones.
–
After modifying one or both bumpers
(added protection).

Practical information
7brake must be adjusted, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any routine servicing. However, in the event of a
problem, do not hesitate to have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
For more information on the Electric
parking brake, refer to the
corresponding section.
Wheels and tyres
The inflation pressure of all tyres, including the spare wheel, must be
checked on "cold” tyres.
The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure
label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven
for more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles
(10 kilometres) at over 31 mph (50
km/h), add
0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the
label.
Under-inflation increases energy
consumption. Non-compliant tyre
pressures cause tyres to wear prematurely
and have an adverse effect on the vehicle's
road holding - risk of accident! Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the
braking and road holding performance of the
vehicle. Regularly check the condition of the
tyres (tread and sidewalls) and rims as well as
the presence of the valve caps.
When the wear indicators no longer appear set
back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is
less than 1.6 mm; replace the tyres as soon as
possible.
Using different size wheels and tyres from those
specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer
reading and have an adverse effect on road
holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Always mark the direction of rotation on the tyres
that will be stored when fitting winter or summer
tyres. Store them in a cool, dry place and away
from direct exposure to the sun's rays.
Winter or 4-seasons tyres can be
identified by this symbol on their
sidewalls.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
To respect the environment and ensure compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the performance or fuel
consumption of its Diesel engines, CITROËN
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles with
a system that combines SCR (Selective Catalytic
Reduction) with a Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) for
the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of
the nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.
The AdBlue® is contained in a special
tank holding about 17 litres.
Its capacity allows a driving range of
approximately 3,000
miles (5,000 km) (which
may vary considerably depending on your
driving style and the vehicle). An alert system
is automatically triggered when the remaining
range reaches 1,500 miles (2,400
km), i.e. once
the reserve level has been reached.
Several alerts are triggered successively during
the remaining 1,500 miles (2,400
km) until the
tank is empty and the vehicle is immobilised.
For more information on the Warning
and indicator lamps and the associated
alerts, or the Indicators, please refer to the
corresponding sections.
Once the AdBlue® tank is empty, a device
required by law prevents the engine from
being restarted.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of
emissions from the vehicle will no longer meet
