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, etc.). Preferably, use a
roof box.
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.
Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan. Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, etc.) and
obser ve the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
When filling the tank, do not continue after the
3rd
cut-off of the nozzle to avoid over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 1,900
miles (3,000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a consistent average. With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes
polluting. As soon as possible, visit a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to
make your vehicle’s level of nitrogen oxide
emissions compliant to the standard.

Operating limits
In the following cases, deactivating the
system via the vehicle's configuration menu is
recommended:
-
w
hen towing a trailer or caravan,
-
w
hen a load on the roof rack extends
beyond the windscreen (for example: long
objects),
-
w
hen the vehicle is being towed, with the
engine running,
-
w
hen a "space-saver" type spare wheel is
fitted (if your vehicle has one),
-
w
hen on a rolling road for a ser vice in a
workshop,
-
w
hen in an automatic car wash,
-
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, always stay
alert and be prepared to react at any time
to avoid an accident.Collision Risk Alert
Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert threshold
chosen, different levels of alert can be
triggered and displayed in the instrument panel
or the head-up display.
This information also appears in the
head-up display. For more information
on the Head-up display, refer to the
corresponding section.
Level 1 : visual alert only, warning
you that the vehicle ahead is very
close.
A message is displayed warning you
to be vigilant when approaching the
target vehicle. 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.
A message indicating that you
should 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.
After an impact, the function automatically
stops operating. Consult a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
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.
Furthermore, the level 1
alert is never
displayed with the " Close" threshold.

Under-inflation detection
This system automatically monitors the tyre
pressure while driving.
The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised after ever y tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres.
The tyre under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
This system still requires you to check
the tyre inflation pressures (including
the spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes early tyre wear, particularly in
adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys). Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section.
Tyre pressures should be checked when
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1
hour or after a journey of less than
6
miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3
bar to the
pressures shown on the label.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Spare wheel
The steel spare wheel does not have an
under-inflation detection sensor.
Under-inflation alert
This warning is indicated by fixed
illumination of the lamp, an audible
signal and, depending on the
equipment installed, a message
displayed on the screen.
F
R
educe speed immediately, avoid excessive
steering movements and sudden braking.
F
S
top the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check.
F
I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment),
or
F
i
f you have a compressor, such as the one
in the temporary puncture repair kit, check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold,
or
F
i
f it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
