Malfunctions
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp
comes on accompanied by a
message and an audible signal.
In the event of a fault with the
power steering, this warning lamp
flashes in the instrument panel,
accompanied by a message.
If the lateral distance between your vehicle
and the space is too great, the system may
not be able to measure the space.
Any object projecting beyond the dimensions
of the vehicle (e.g. a ladder on the roof or a
towball) will not be taken into account by the
Park Assist system during a manoeuvre.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that
the sensors are not covered by road dirt,
ice or snow.
In the event of a fault, have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.High pressure jet washing
When washing your vehicle, keep the lance at
least 12 inches (30
cm) away from the sensors.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, as soon as the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the wheel
speed sensors with reference values, which
must be reinitialised ever y time the tyre
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed .
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres. The under-inflation detection system does
not replace the need for vigilance on the
part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres worsens
road-holding, lengthens braking distances,
causes premature wear of the tyres,
particularly in adverse conditions (heavy
loads, high speeds, long journeys).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section.

The changing of an arm must be carried
out only by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Roof bars
For safety reasons and to avoid damaging
the roof, it is essential to use the
transverse roof bars approved for your
vehicle.
Obser ve the fitting instructions and the
conditions of use in the guide supplied
with the roof bars.
Version without longitudinal
bars
The roof bar fixings include a lug to be fitted
into the hole at each fixing point. When fitting roof bars, use only the four fixing
points located in the roof frame. These points
are masked by the vehicle doors when closed.

Version with longitudinal
bars
You must fit the transverse bars to the
longitudinal bars at the fixing points under the
longitudinal bars.Sunroof
Check that the load does not pass below
the roof bars so that it does not impede
the movements of the sunroof.
Recommendations
F D istribute the load uniformly, taking care
to avoid overloading one of the sides.
F

A
rrange the heaviest part of the load as
close as possible to the roof.
F

S
ecure the load securely and fit a
warning flag if it overhangs the vehicle.
F

D
rive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds
(the stability of the vehicle may be
affected).
F

R
emove the roof bars once they are no
longer needed.
Maximum load, distributed over the roof
bars, for a loading height not exceeding
40

ith longitudinal bars: 45 kg.
As this value may be changed, please
verify the maximum load quoted in the
user guide supplied with the roof bars.
If the height exceeds 40
cm, adapt the
speed of the vehicle to the profile of the
road to avoid damaging the roof bars and
the fixings on the vehicle.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in
order to comply with the regulations for
transporting objects which are longer than
the vehicle.

Never try to charge a frozen battery – risk
of explosion!
If the battery has frozen, have it checked
by a CITROËN dealer or by a qualified
workshop who will check that the internal
components have not been damaged and
that the container has not cracked, which
would mean a risk of toxic and corrosive
acid leaking. If this label is present, it is essential to
use only a 12 V charger to avoid causing
irreversible damage to the electrical
components related to the Stop & Start
system.
Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state
of charge for starting the engine, it is
recommended that the battery be disconnected
if the vehicle is taken out of ser vice for a long
period. Before disconnecting the battery:
F

c
lose all openings (doors, tailgate, windows,
sunroof),
F
s
witch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, wipers, lighting, etc.),
F
s
witch off the ignition and wait for four
minutes.
At the battery, it is only necessary to
disconnect the (+) terminal.

terminal.
F P ush the clamp B fully down.
F

L
ower the lever A to lock the clamp B.
Do not force the lever as locking will not
be possible if the clamp is not positioned
correctly; start the procedure again.
Following reconnection of the battery
After reconnecting the battery, turn on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting
the engine, in order to enable the electronic
systems to initialise.
In the event of a breakdown

205
For right-hand drive vehicles, when the
total distance recorder has reached
37 miles (60 km), it is necessary to wait
around 15
minutes before starting the
engine.
However, if minor problems persist following
this operation, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you
must yourself reinitialise or reset certain
systems, such as:
-

t

he key with remote control or electronic key
(depending on version),
-

t

he sunroof and its electric blind,
-

t

he electric windows,
-

t

he date and time,
-

t

he preset radio stations. The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be
available again after a continuous
period of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a period which depends on the exterior
temperature and the state of charge of the
battery (up to about 8
hours).To w i n g

Checking tyre pressures
The tyre pressures should be checked when
cold at least monthly.
The pressures given on the label are valid for
cold tyres. If you have driven for more than
10 minutes or more than 6 miles (10 kilometres)
at more than 30
mph (50 km/h), the tyres will be
warm; in this case 0.3
bar (30 kPa) should be
added to the pressures given on the label.
Never reduce the pressure of a warm tyre.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption.Identification markings
Different visible markings for the identification
of your vehicle.
A. Vehicle identification number (VIN) on
the front right seat floor
The number is engraved on the body structure.B. Vehicle identification number (VIN) on
the dashboard
The number is on a label, visible through the
windscreen.
C. Manufacturer's label
This tamperproof label is affixed to the driver’s
door aperture. D. Tyres label
This label is affixed to the driver's door
aperture.
It bears the following information about the
tyres:
-

t
he tyre pressures, unloaded and loaded,
-

t
he tyre specification, made up of the
dimensions and type as well as the load and
speed indices,
-

t
he spare tyre pressure.The vehicle may be originally equipped
with tyres with higher load and speed
indices than those indicated on the label,
without affecting inflation pressure.
It bears the following information:
-
t he name of the manufacturer,
- t he European Whole Vehicle Type Approval
number,
-

t
he vehicle identification number (VIN),
-

t
he gross vehicle weight (GV W),
-

t
he maximum authorised train weight
(GT W),
-

t
he maximum weight on the front axle,
