• if it is not possible to check the tyre pressures at the time, drive carefully at
reduced speed and go to the nearest
CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on just a
visual check.
The alert continues until the tyre or tyres
concerned is reinflated, repaired or
replaced.
Malfunction
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by the illumination
of the ser vice warning lamp, and
depending on equipment, the display
of a message indicates a fault with
the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured. This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels is not fitted with a
sensor.
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked or,
following a puncture, to have the original wheel,
equipped with a sensor, refitted with a tyre.
Rear parking sensors,
audible assistance
If your vehicle is so equipped, the system
consists of four proximity sensors, installed in
the rear bumper.
They detect any obstacle: a person, vehicle,
tree, fence, behind the vehicle during the
manoeuvre.
Certain types of object detected at the beginning
of the manoeuvre will no longer be detected at
the end of the manoeuvre if they are located in
the blind spots between and below the sensors. For example, a post, roadworks cone or
pavement bollard.
The rear parking sensor system may be linked
with the reversing camera.
This system cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
Take even greater care if you reverse with
the rear doors open.
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or
snow.
Operation
F Engage reverse gear using the gear lever.
The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more rapid as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle.

112
Switching off
F Move from reverse gear into neutral.
Malfunction
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel accompanied by
a message in the screen, contact
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Reversing camera
If your vehicle is fitted with this camera, it is
located at the rear, next to the third brake lamp.
Switching on
The camera comes into operation when
reverse gear is engaged and remains active
up to approximately 9
mph (15 km/h). It is
deactivated above 11
mph (18 km/h).
The camera also comes on with the vehicle
stationary, when the rear doors are opened.
Switching off
When a for ward gear is engaged, the last
im age remains displayed for approximately
5


seconds then switches off.
In the same way, the last image also remains
displayed, with the vehicle stationary, when the
rear doors are closed.
With optimum vehicle conditions (position
on the road, loading level) the maximum
area of visibility covered by the camera
has a
field depth approximately 3 m long
and 5.5
m wide.
The area of visibility may vary depending
on the external weather conditions
(brightness, rain, snow, fog, etc.), the
load in the vehicle and the position of the
vehicle on the road.
When cleaning the camera and the
screen, avoid using a
detergent or a tool
which may scratch the glass.
Use a
non-abrasive cloth or a small brush.
It sends images to the screen installed in the
cab.
Activation and deactivation of the system is
done in the settings menu of the touch screen
audio-telematic system.
This rear vision is an aid to manoeuvring. The
reversing camera may be linked with the rear
parking sensors.
When the distance between the rear of the
vehicle and the obstacle is less than about
12

inches (30

centimetres), the audible signal
becomes continuous.

Pneumatic suspensionThere is a nominal level as well as 6 height
a djustment levels, raising (from +1 to +3) or
lowering (from -1

t
o -3). The levels are indicated
in the instrument panel screen.
Manual adjustment of the
loading height
Raise: upwards adjustment of the
load floor
F Make a quick press on the
control to select the next level
up. Each press (LED on) raises
the floor by one level: +1
to +3.
A long press selects the highest level (+3).
Lower: downwards adjustment of
the load floor
F Make a quick press on the
control to select the next level
down.
If your vehicle is fitted with pneumatic
suspension, you can adjust the height of
the rear of the vehicle to make loading and
unloading easier.
Each press (LED on) lowers the floor by one
level: -1

to -3.
A long press selects the lowest level (-3).
Return to the nominal floor
height
F Press the same number of times in reverse as the level of the position displayed.
Deactivation
F Hold both controls down simultaneously to deactivate the system. The LEDs remain on.
Reactivation
F Holding both controls down simultaneously a second time reactivates the system. The
LEDs go out.
Above 3
mph (5 km/h), the system
reactivates automatically.
Automatic loading height
correction
Above 12 mph (20 km/h), the system
a utomatically returns the rear floor height to its
nominal value.

114
Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the system, this
w arning lamp comes on.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Driving with the suspension set too high
or too low poses a risk of damaging
components under the body.
The height may be adjusted automatically
to take account of changes in temperature
or loading.
You must avoid using this control in the
following circumstances:
-
w

hen working underneath the vehicle,
-
w

hen changing a

wheel,
-

w

hen the vehicle is being transported
by lorry, train, ferry, boat, etc.
To avoid damaging the vehicle or injuring
anyone, check that there is no object or
person that might be close to or come into
contact with the vehicle, before raising or
lowering the suspension.

The capacity of the tank is about 90 litres.
F uel tanks of different capacities may be fitted,
60
and 120 litres, depending on the engine.
Low fuel level
When the E (Empty) level is
reached, this warning lamp lights up.
You then have around 10
to 12 litres in

and the engine.
Refuel without delay to avoid running out of
fuel.

fuel or sparks so as to avoid any risk of
fire.

Compatibility of fuels

Fuel used for Diesel
engines
The diesel engines are compatible with biofuels
that conform to current and future European
standards and which can be obtained from
filling stations.Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN590
mixed with a biofuel that
meets standard EN14214 (possibly
containing up to 7% Fatty Acid
Methyl Ester).
Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN16734
mixed with a biofuel that
meets standard EN14214 (possibly
containing up to 10% Fatty Acid
Methyl Ester).
Paraffinic Diesel fuel that meets
standard EN15940
mixed with
a
biofuel that meets standard
EN14214 (possibly containing up to
7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester). For more information, contact a
CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel…) is strictly prohibited (risk
of damage to the engine and fuel system).
The only Diesel additives authorised
for use are those that meet the
B715000


standard.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0°C (+32°F), the
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel
fuels could entail an abnormal operation
of the fuel supply circuit. To avoid this, we
recommend using winter-type Diesel fuel and
keeping the fuel tank more than 50% full.
If, despite this, at temperatures below -15°C
(+5°F) the engine has problems starting,
just leave the vehicle in a garage or heated
workshop for a
little while.
The use of B20

or B30

fuel meeting
standard EN16709

is possible in
your Diesel engine. However, this
use, even occasional, requires strict
application of the special ser vicing
conditions referred to as "Arduous
conditions".
Travelling abroad
Cer tain fuels could damage the engine of
your vehicle.
In cer tain countries, the use of a
par ticular
fuel may be required (specific octane
rating, specific sales name, etc.) to ensure
correct operation of the engine.
For any additional information, contact a dealer.
