If P is displayed in the instrument panel
while the selector is in another position,
place the selector in position P to allow
the engine to be started.
If position N is selected inadvertently while
driving, allow the engine to return to idle,
then select position D to accelerate.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,
never try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.Automatic operation
F Select position D for automatic
changing of the six gears.
Never select position N while the vehicle
is moving.
Never select position P or R unless the
vehicle is completely stationary.
Temporary manual control
of gear changes
You can temporarily take over control of gear
changes using the “ +” and “ -” steering mounted
control paddles. If the engine speed allows, the
gear change is carried out.
This function allows you to anticipate certain
situations, such as overtaking another vehicle
or approaching a bend in the road.
After a few moments with no action on the
control paddles, the gearbox returns to
automatic operation.
If position R
, D or M is selected when the
engine is running at idle, with the brakes
released, the vehicle moves even without
the accelerator being pressed.
Never leave children in the vehicle
unsupervised.
As a safety measure, never leave the
vehicle without taking your key or remote
control with you, even for a short time.
When carrying out maintenance with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
and select position P . The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any inter vention on the part
of the driver. It continuously selects the most
suitable gear according to the style of driving,
the profile of the road and the load in the
vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without
touching the selector, press the
accelerator fully (kick-down).
The gearbox changes down
automatically or holds the gear
selected until the maximum engine
speed is reached.
When braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide effective engine
braking.
For better safety, the gearbox will not shift up if
you release the accelerator sharply.
Creep function (moving without
using the accelerator)
This function facilitates manoeuvring of the
vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic
jams, etc.).
With the engine at idle, parking brake released
and position D , M or R selected, the vehicle
moves
as soon as you take your foot off
the brake pedal (even without pressing the
accelerator).
As a safety measure (with children on
board), never leave the vehicle with the
engine running and the doors closed.

Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear is
not engaged correctly (gear selector
between two positions).
F
P
lace the selector "correctly" at a position.
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, select position
P then apply the parking brake to immobilise
the vehicle. A point of resistance may be noticed when
moving to position P .
If the selector is not in position P , when the
driver's door is opened or approximately
45
seconds after the ignition is switched
off, an audible signal sounds and a
message appears.
F
R
eturn the selector to position P ; the
audible signal stops and the message
disappears.
On a steep slope with a loaded vehicle,
press the brake pedal , select position P,
apply the parking brake then release the
brake pedal.
The indicator lamp for the button goes off.
In manual mode, it is not necessary
to release the accelerator pedal when
changing gear.
It is only possible to change from one gear
to another if the vehicle speed and engine
speed permit. If the engine speed is too low or too
high, the selected gear flashes for a few
seconds, then the gear actually activated
is displayed.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1
automatically.
To save the brakes when descending
a steep incline, use engine braking to
reduce your speed (change down to a
lower gear).
Keeping the brake pedal pressed
continuously for long periods can overheat
the brakes, with the risk of damaging the
braking system or making it inoperative.
Only use the brakes when necessary, to
slow or stop the vehicle.
Depending on the road configuration (e.g.
mountainous road), manual operation is
preferable.
This is because automatic operation may
not be best suited, not allowing the use of
engine braking.
Driving
158
The current threshold can
be modified via the vehicle
configuration menu.
You can select one of three predefined
thresholds:
-
" Distant ",
-
" Normal ",
-
" Close ".
The last threshold selected is kept in memory
when the ignition is switched off.
Operation
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.
They take account of the vehicle dynamics, the
speed of your vehicle and the one in front, the
environmental conditions, the operation of the
vehicle (cornering, actions on the pedals, etc.)
to trigger the alert at the best moment.
Level 1 (orange) : visual alert only,
signalling to you that the vehicle in
front is very close.
The message " Vehicle close" is
displayed. 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 never
displayed for a stationary obstacle or
when the " Close" trigger threshold has
been selected.
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to avoid
a collision, this system will supplement the
braking, within the limits of the laws of physics.
This assistance will only be provided if you
press the brake pedal. Level 2 (red)
: visual and audible
alert, warning you that a collision is
imminent.
The message " Brake!" is displayed.
Level 3 : finally, in some cases, a
haptic alert in the form of micro-
braking may be given to confirm the
risk of collision.
Operation
The system operates under the following
conditions:
-
T
he vehicle's speed does not exceed 37 mph
(60
km/h) when a pedestrian is detected.
-
T
he vehicle's speed does not exceed 50 mph
(80
km/h) when a stationary vehicle is
detected.
Active Safety Brake
This function, also called automatic emergency
braking, inter venes following the alerts if the
driver does not react quickly enough and does
not operate the vehicle's brakes.
It aims to reduce the speed of impact or avoid a
frontal collision by your vehicle where the driver
fails to react.
Driving
159
If the camera has confirmed
the presence of a vehicle or a
pedestrian, this warning lamp
flashes (for about 10 seconds) once
the function is acting on the vehicle's
brakes.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event of
automatic emergency braking until the vehicle
comes to a complete stop, keep the brake
pedal pressed down to prevent the vehicle from
starting off again.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of
automatic emergency braking until the vehicle
comes to a complete stop, the engine may stall.
The driver can maintain control of the
vehicle at any time by sharply turning
the steering wheel and/or pressing the
accelerator pedal.
Operation of the function may be felt by
slight vibration in the brake pedal.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
the automatic braking is maintained for 1
to 2
seconds.
Active Lane Departure
Warning System
Using a camera located at the top of the
windscreen to identify lane markings on the
ground and the edges of the road (depending
on version), the system corrects the trajectory
of the vehicle while alerting the driver if it
detects a risk of involuntarily crossing a line or
roadside (depending on version).
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.
Conditions for operation
The speed of the vehicle must be between
40 mph and 112 mph (65 km/h and 180 km/h).
The driver must hold the steering wheel with both
hands.
The change of trajectory must not be
accompanied by operation of the direction
indicators.
The ESC system must be activated and fault-free.
This system is a driving aid that cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the driver’s own
vigilance. The driver must remain in control
of the vehicle under all circumstances.
The system helps the driver only when
there is a risk of the vehicle involuntarily
wandering from the lane it is being driven
in. It does not manage the safe driving
distance, the speed of the vehicle or the
brakes.
The driver must hold the steering wheel
with both hands in a way that allows control
to be maintained in circumstances where
the system is not able to inter vene (if lane
markings disappear, for example).
It is necessary to obser ve the driving
regulations and take a break every two
hours.
Malfunction
In the event of a fault with the system,
you are alerted by the continuous
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal.
If these warning lamps come
on after the engine has been
switched off and restarted, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked.
- The vehicle's speed must be between 6 mph
and 53 mph (10 km/h and 85 km/h) when a
moving vehicle is detected.

Particle filter (Diesel)
orThe start of saturation of the particle
filter is signalled by the temporary
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a message warning
of the risk of the filter clogging up.
Traffic conditions permitting, regenerate
the filter by driving at a speed of at least
37
mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp
goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates
a low Diesel additive level.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Brake disc wear
For all information on checking
brake disc wear, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop. This system must be checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be adjusted, even between two
services.
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell, which
is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the
environment.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any
specific check. However, in the
event of a problem, 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 pressure must be checked on
all tyres, including the spare wheel,
when the tyres are "cold", at least
once a month and before a long
j o u r n ey.
7
Practical information
192
The pressures given 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 more than 31 mph (50 km/h),
0.3
bar (30 kPa) should be added to the values
given on the label.
Under-inflation increases fuel consumption.
Non-compliant tyre pressure causes premature
wear on tyres and has an adverse effect on the
vehicle's road holding – Risk of an accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces
braking efficiency and control of the vehicle's
steering. Regular inspections of the condition
of tyres (tread and sides) and rims are
recommended as well as making sure that
valves are fitted.
Using different size wheels and tyres from
those specified can affect the lifetime of tyres,
wheel rotation, ground clearance and 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. Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, CITROËN selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi
engines)
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.
An alert system is triggered automatically once
the reser ve level is reached: you can then drive
for a further 1,500
miles (2,400 km) before the
tank is empty.
For more information on the Warning
and indicator lamps and the associated
alerts, or the Indicators , refer to the
corresponding sections.
Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a system
r
equired by regulations prevents starting
of the engine.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of
emissions from your vehicle will no longer
meet the Euro 6 standard: your vehicle
becomes polluting.
In the event of a confirmed fault with the
SCR system, you must go to a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop as soon
as possible: after a running distance of
685
miles (1,100
km), a system will be
triggered automatically to prevent engine
starting.
In either case, a range indicator gives you
the distance you can travel before the
vehicle is immobilised.
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the per formance or fuel
consumption of Diesel engines, CITROËN
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles
with a system that associates SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) with a Diesel particle filter
(DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases.
