Driving
With Petrol engines, after a cold start,
pre-heating the catalytic converter can
cause noticeable engine vibrations when
stationary, with the engine running, for
anything up to 2 minutes (accelerated idle
speed).
If the engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition.
Wait a few seconds before operating the
starter motor again. If the engine does not
start after several attempts, do not keep
trying: you risk damaging the starter motor
and the engine.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
With the Keyless Entry and Start

► Place the remote control inside the vehicle, in
the recognition zone.
► Press the " START/STOP" button.
With a manual gearbox, the steering column
unlocks and the engine starts more or less
instantly.
With the EAT8 automatic gearbox, the engine
starts more or less instantly.
The warning lamp does not come on if the engine is already warm. In some
climatic conditions, it is advised to follow the
recommendations below:
–

In mild conditions, do not leave the engine
to warm up while stationary

, but move off
straight away and drive at moderate speed.
–

Depending on version, if the air
conditioning is activated and when the
exterior temperature exceeds 35°C, the idle
engine speed can accelerate up to 1,300
rpm depending on the air conditioning
requirements.
–


In wintry conditions, when the ignition is
switched on, the duration of lighting of the
preheating indicator lamp is extended. W

ait
until it goes off before starting the engine.
–

In very severe wintry
conditions


(temperature below -23°C),
to ensure correct operation and preserve
the lifespan of the vehicle's mechanical
components, engine and gearbox, leave the
engine running for 4 minutes before moving
off.
Never leave the engine running in an
enclosed area without adequate ventilation:
internal combustion engines emit toxic
exhaust gases, such as carbon monoxide.
Danger of poisoning and death!
With Petrol engines, after a cold start,
pre-heating the catalytic converter can
cause noticeable engine vibrations when
stationary, with the engine running, for
anything up to 2 minutes (accelerated idle
speed).
For Diesel vehicles, when the
temperature is below zero,
starting will only occur once the pre-heating
warning lamp goes off.
If this warning lamp comes on after pressing
the "START/STOP" button, keep the brake
or clutch pedal depressed until the warning
lamp goes off, without pressing the "START/
STOP" button again, until the engine starts
and is running.
The "Keyless Entry and Start" system remote control must be within the
recognition zone.
Never leave the vehicle with the engine
running and with the remote control on your
person.
If the remote control leaves the recognition
zone, a message is displayed.
Move the remote control into the zone in
order to be able to start the engine.
If one of the starting conditions is not
met, a message is displayed on the
instrument panel. In some circumstances, you

► With a conventional key, insert the key into
the filler cap, then turn the key to the left.


► Unscrew and remove the filler cap, then
place it on the holder located on the fuel filler
flap.
►

Insert the nozzle and push it in fully (while
pushing on the metal valve A

).
►

Fill the tank. Do not continue past the
third cut-off of the nozzle, as this may cause
malfunctions.
► Put the filler cap back in place and close it by
turning to the right.
►

Push the fuel filler flap to close it (your
vehicle must be unlocked).




If the vehicle is equipped with a sliding
door on its left-hand side, do not open it
while the fuel filler flap is open. Otherwise,
there is a risk that the fuel filler flap and the
sliding door may be damaged and the person
filling up may be injured.


If the fuel filler flap is open, a device
prevents the left-hand side door from
opening.
The door can be opened half-way, however.
Close the fuel filler flap to regain use of the
door.


If the fuel filler flap is open, a device
prevents the left-hand side door from
opening.
The door can be opened half-way, however.
Close the fuel filler flap to regain use of the
door.
The vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,
which helps to reduce the level of harmful
emissions in the exhaust gases.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have the fuel
tank drained and filled with the correct fuel
before starting the engine.
Fuel cut-off
Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that
cuts off the supply of fuel in the event of an
impact.
Misfuel prevention (Diesel)
(Depending on country of sale.)
This mechanical device prevents filling the tank
of a Diesel vehicle with petrol.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention
device is visible when the filler cap is removed.

Practical information
7brake must be adjusted, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any routine servicing. However, in the event of a
problem, do not hesitate to 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 inflation pressure of all tyres, including the spare wheel, must be
checked on "cold” tyres.
The pressures indicated 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 over 31 mph (50
km/h), add
0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the
label.
Under-inflation increases energy
consumption. Non-compliant tyre
pressures cause tyres to wear prematurely
and have an adverse effect on the vehicle's
road holding - risk of accident! Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the
braking and road holding performance of the
vehicle. Regularly check the condition of the
tyres (tread and sidewalls) and rims as well as
the presence of the valve caps.
When the wear indicators no longer appear set
back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is
less than 1.6 mm; replace the tyres as soon as
possible.
Using different size wheels and tyres from those
specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel
rotation, ground clearance, 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.
Always mark the direction of rotation on the tyres
that will be stored when fitting winter or summer
tyres. Store them in a cool, dry place and away
from direct exposure to the sun's rays.
Winter or 4-seasons tyres can be
identified by this symbol on their
sidewalls.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
To respect the environment and ensure compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the performance or fuel
consumption of its Diesel engines, CITROËN
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles with
a system that combines SCR (Selective Catalytic
Reduction) with a Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) for
the treatment of exhaust gases.
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.
Its capacity allows a driving range of
approximately 3,000
miles (5,000 km) (which
may vary considerably depending on your
driving style and the vehicle). An alert system
is automatically triggered when the remaining
range reaches 1,500 miles (2,400
km), i.e. once
the reserve level has been reached.
Several alerts are triggered successively during
the remaining 1,500 miles (2,400
km) until the
tank is empty and the vehicle is immobilised.
For more information on the Warning
and indicator lamps and the associated
alerts, or the Indicators, please refer to the
corresponding sections.
Once the AdBlue® tank is empty, a device
required by law prevents the engine from
being restarted.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of
emissions from the vehicle will no longer meet
