Malfunction
In the event of a fault, the system is
s witched off and the indicator goes
out.
Have it checked by a
CITROËN dealer or by
a
qualified workshop. Use the cruise control only when traffic
conditions allow you to travel at a
constant
speed for a
certain period of time whilst
keeping a
sufficiently safe distance from
other vehicles.
Do not activate the cruise control in urban
areas, in heavy traffic, on winding or steep
roads, on slippery or flooded roads, or in
conditions of poor visibility (heavy rain,
fog, falling snow, etc.).
In some circumstances, it may not
be possible to maintain or reach the
programmed speed: towing, vehicle
heavily loaded, steep climb, etc. The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may impair the operation of the
cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
-

The cruise control system is a driving aid
only. It does not exempt the driver from
keeping to speed limits or the need to
remain vigilant at all times.
In order for it to be programmed or activated,
the vehicle speed must be greater than 19
mph
(30

Lane Departure Warning
System
System which detects the involuntary crossing
of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the
ground (solid or broken line).
The lane departure warning system
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
A camera fitted at the top centre of the
windscreen monitors the road and detects lane
markings and the position of the vehicle with
respect to them.
With the vehicle running at a
speed higher than
37
mph (60 km/h), it triggers a warning if the
vehicle drifts off line.
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.
6
Driving
106
If the windscreen is damaged, it is strongly
recommended that you go to a CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop for any
replacement and calibration of the camera.
Operation
The system starts automatically when moving
of f.
A check of the operating conditions
takes place: these two warning
lamps come on in the instrument
panel.
When these conditions are met, these two
indicator lamps go off. The system is activated.
If the operating conditions are not met, the
system is activated but is no longer effective.
This is signalled by the fixed illumination of
these two warning lamps in the instrument
panel.
Operating conditions
Once running, the system is only active when
the operating conditions are met:
-
T
he vehicle is moving for wards.
-
N
o malfunction is detected in the vehicle.
Deactivation
F Press this button to switch off the system, the indicator lamp in the button comes on.
The system state remains in memory when the
ignition is switched off.
Reactivation
F Press this button to switch the system on, the indicator lamp in the button goes off.
The two warning lamps in the instrument panel
remain on up to 37
mph (60 km/h).
Detection
If an unexpected change of direction is
detected, you are alerted by this warning lamp
in the instrument panel and an audible signal:-
f
lashing of the left-hand warning
lamp, if drifting to the left,
-
f
lashing of the right-hand
warning lamp, if drifting to the
right.
-
T
he vehicle is moving at a
speed of at least
37
mph (60
km/h).
-
T

-
T
he vehicle is travelling in a
straight line (or
any bends are of large radius).
-
T
he field of vision is sufficiently clear (the
safe distance from the vehicle in front is
observed).
-
I
f a
lane marking is crossed (when changing
lane for example), the corresponding
direction indicator (left or right) for the
manoeuvre is not used.
-
T
he vehicle's trajectory matches the traffic
lane markings.
No warning is given while the direction indicator
is active and for approximately 20 seconds
after the direction indicator is switched off.
A warning may be given if a
direction marking
(arrow) or non-standard marking (graffiti) is
crossed.

Under-inflation detection
The tyre under-inflation detection system
is a driving aid which does not replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.This system does not relieve you of
the monthly check of the tyre inflation
pressures (including the spare) and before
a
long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes premature 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.
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, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.
For more information on Identification
markings , including in particular the tyre
pressure label, refer to the corresponding
section. The tyre pressure measurement unit can be
configured with the MODE
button: in the "Tyre
pressure measurement" menu, select "psi/bar/
k Pa".
For more information on Vehicle
configuration , refer to the corresponding
section.
Under-inflation warning
This warning is indicated by
continuous illumination of this lamp,
an audible signal and, depending on
the equipment installed, a message
displayed on the screen.
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of
each tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a
drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres. In the event of a
problem with one of the tyres,
depending on equipment the symbol or the
message appears to identify it.
-
R

when cold.
or
Driving
111
• 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.

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.The snow chains must be fitted only to the
driving wheels. They must never be fitted
to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force in
your country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed.
Installation tips
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey,
stop the vehicle on a flat sur face on the side
of the road.
F
A
pply the parking brake and if necessary
put wheel chocks against the wheels to
prevent your vehicle from sliding.
F
F

provided by the manufacturer.
F
M
ove off gently and drive for a few seconds,
without exceeding 30
mph (50 km/h).
F
S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the
road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fixtures is in contact with the
wheel rim.
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a
level and dry sur face. Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheels installed on your vehicle:

Operation
This filter, fitted in the exhaust system,
accumulates particles of soot. The engine
management unit controls the automatic
periodic elimination of the soot particles
(regeneration).
The regeneration procedure is triggered
depending on the amount of particles
accumulated and the vehicle use conditions.
During this phase, you may notice some
unusual phenomena – increased idling speed,
cooling fan running, increase in smoke and
higher exhaust gas temperature – which does
not affect the operation of the vehicle or the
environment.After prolonged idling or driving at very
low speeds, you may occasionally notice
water vapour being emitted from the
exhaust when accelerating. This is of no
consequence to the running of the vehicle
or to the environment. Because of the higher exhaust gas
temperature resulting from the normal
operation of the particle filter, it is
recommended that you do not park the
vehicle over inflammable materials (grass,
dry leaves, pine needles, etc.) so as to
avoid any risk of fire.
Saturation/Regeneration
If there is risk of blockage of the
filter, this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel.
This alert tells you that the particle filter is
starting to saturate (in conditions of urban
driving of exceptionally long duration: low
speeds, traffic jams, etc.).
To regenerate the filter, it is advised to drive
as soon as possible, when traffic conditions
and the law permit, at a
speed of at least
37
mph (60 km/h), with an engine speed above
2,000
rpm for about fifteen minutes (until the
warning lamp and/or the message disappears).
If possible, avoid switching off the engine
before the end of the filter regeneration;
repeated interruptions could cause premature
deterioration of the engine oil. It is not
recommended to end regeneration of the filter
with the vehicle stationary.
Malfunction
If this alert persists, do not ignore the warning;
it indicates that a fault has occurred in the
exhaust system/particle filter assembly.
Have the whole system checked by a
CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Manual 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.
If this warning lamp comes on, have
the brake pad wear checked by
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
