Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to
react at any time to any eventuality.
As a safety measure, the driver should only
carry out any operations that require close
attention when the vehicle is stationary.
On a
long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance
from other vehicles.
Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion engines
emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon
monoxide. There is a
risk of poisoning and
death!
In very severe wintry conditions
(temperatures below -23°C), to guarantee
correct operation and the longevity of
the mechanical elements of your vehicle,
engine and gearbox, the engine must be
left running for 4
minutes before driving.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.
Important!
If you are obliged to drive through water:
- c heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15
cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users,
-
d
eactivate the Stop & Start system,
-
d
rive as slowly as possible without stalling.
Under no circumstances exceed 6
mph
(10
km/h),
-
d
o not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads. If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Never drive with the parking brake
applied – risk of overheating and damage
to the braking system!
Do not park and do not run the engine
with the vehicle stationary, in areas where
substances and combustible materials
(dry grass, leaves, etc.) can come into
contact with the hot exhaust system – risk
of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsuper vised with
the engine running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running, apply
the parking brake and put the gearbox into
neutral or position N or P , depending on
the type of gearbox.
To assure the durability of your vehicle and
your safety, remember that certain precautions,
described hereafter, should be taken when
driving your vehicle:

Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
t emperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towable load on an incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a
check on the coolant
temperature.
F
I
f this warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
New vehicle
Do not pull a
trailer before having driven at
least 620
miles (1,000 kilometres).
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height
of your vehicle.
For more information on Headlamp
beam height adjustment , refer to the
corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal if a
genuine CITROËN
towbar is used.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic immobiliser
device.
This device locks the engine supply system.
It activates automatically when the key is
removed from the ignition.
This warning lamp goes off after the
key has been recognised, the ignition is
switched on and the engine can be started.
If the key is not recognised, the engine
cannot be started. Use another key
and have the faulty key checked by
a
CITROËN dealer.
Note the number of the keys carefully; in
case of loss, inter vention by the CITROËN
dealer will be more efficient and quicker
if you present this number and the
confidential card.
When the ignition switch is turned on, a
dialogue is set up between the key and the
electronic immobiliser.
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even when it
is in your pocket, may result in involuntary
unlocking of the doors.
The simultaneous use of other high
frequency equipment (mobile telephones,
domestic alarms, etc.), may inter fere
with the operation of the remote control
temporarily.
The remote control does not operate
while the key is in the ignition, even if the
ignition is off, except for reinitialisation.

Driving
90
Driving with the doors locked may make
access to the passenger compartment by
the emergency services more difficult in an
emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition when
leaving the vehicle, even for a
short time.
When purchasing a second-hand
vehicle:
-
e
nsure that you are given the
confidential card,
-
h
ave the keys recorded by a CITROËN
dealer to ensure that the keys in your
possession are the only ones which
can start the vehicle.
Confidential card
It contains the identification code necessary for
any work carried out by a CITROËN dealer on
the electronic immobiliser system. This code is
hidden by a
film, which should be removed only
if necessary.
Keep your card in a
safe place, never inside the
vehicle.
When undertaking a
long trip or journey,
however, it is advisable to take it with you along
with your personal papers.
Starting-switching off the

In low temperatures
In mountainous and/or cold areas, it is
advisable to use a "winter" type fuel suited
to low or minus temperatures.
Battery standby system
If the vehicle is not to be used for a prolonged
p eriod, such as for winter storage, for example,
it is strongly recommended that the battery
be placed on standby in order to protect it and
optimise its ser vice life.
When the battery is on standby, access to
the vehicle is only possible by unlocking
the vehicle using the key in the lock barrel
in the driver's door.
After the battery is switched off, the
information (time, date, radio stations,
etc.) is stored.
To take the battery out of standby:
F
T

The battery goes into standby about 7 minutes
later.
This time is necessary to:
-
A
llow the user to get out of the vehicle and
lock the doors with the remote control.
-
E
nsure that all of the vehicle's electrical
systems are deactivated.
Parking brake

F Pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise your vehicle.
F
C
heck that the parking brake is applied
firmly before leaving the vehicle.
There is no advantage in engaging a
gear after
parking the vehicle, particularly if the vehicle is
loaded.
When parking on a
slope, turn your
wheels towards the kerb and pull the
parking brake lever up.
In the exceptional case of use of the
parking brake when the vehicle is moving,
apply the brake by pulling gently to avoid
locking the rear wheels (risk of skidding).

Releasing
When the vehicle is being driven,
this warning lamp coming on
indicates that the parking brake is
still applied or has not been fully
released.
Manual gearbox
To change gear easily, always depress the
clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedal:
-
e
nsure that the mat is positioned
correctly,
-
n
ever fit one mat on top of another.
Avoid leaving your hand on the gear knob as
the force exerted, even if slight, may wear the
internal components of the gearbox over time.
Engaging reverse gear
Never engage reverse gear before the
vehicle is completely stationary.
If your vehicle is fitted with parking
sensors, the system comes into operation
when reverse gear is engaged; an audible
signal is heard.
For more information on Rear parking
sensors , refer to the corresponding
section.
F
P
ull the lever up slightly and press the
button to release the parking brake lever.
Gear efficiency indicator
Depending on the engine or model, this system
allows fuel consumption to be reduced by
suggesting when to change up.
Gear efficiency recommendations are only
optional. In fact, the road configuration,
the traffic density and safety remain the
determining factors when choosing the best
gear. Therefore, the driver remains responsible
for deciding whether or not to follow the
system's advice.
The system cannot be deactivated.
Operation
The information appears in the
instrument panel screen in the form
of the SHIFT indicator, accompanied
by an upward arrow to signal to the
driver that they can change up.
The system adapts its gear shift
recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the
driver's requirements (power, acceleration,
b r a k i n g , e t c .) .
The system never recommends engaging
first gear or reverse, or changing down.
F
R
aise the collar under the gear knob to
engage reverse gear.
The lever should be moved slowly to reduce the
noise on engaging reverse gear.

Reactivation
Malfunction
F Press this button again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the button indicator lamp going out and the
display of a message.
In the event of a
fault with the system,
the Stop & Start system is deactivated
and this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by a
message in the
instrument panel screen.
Maintenance
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid any risk of injury resulting from an
automatic change to START mode.
The Stop & Start system makes use of
an advanced technology. All work on
this type of battery must be carried out
only by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or by
a qualified workshop.
In the event of a
malfunction in STOP mode, it is
possible to restart the engine by depressing the clutch
pedal fully or by putting the gear lever into neutral.
This system requires a specific battery
w ith a special specification and technology
(reference numbers available from a
CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop).
Fitting a
battery not approved by CITROËN
introduces the risk of malfunction of the
system.
For more information on the Battery , refer to
the corresponding section.
Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle stationary
for a short time (approximately 2 seconds)
when starting on a
gradient, the time it takes
to move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
This system (also called HHC – Hill Holder
Control), integrated with the dynamic stability
control system, is activated in the following
conditions:
-
t
he vehicle must be stationary, engine
running, foot on the brake,
-
t
he gradient of the road must be steeper
than 5%,
-
u
phill, the gearbox must be in neutral or in
a
gear other than reverse,
-
do
wnhill, reverse gear must be engaged.
The hill start assist system is a
driving
aid. It is not an automatic vehicle parking
function or an automatic parking brake.
