2020 CITROEN DISPATCH SPACETOURER DAG warning

176
Using a camera placed at the top
of the windscreen, the system
assesses the driver's level of
vigilance by identifying variations
in trajectory compared to the lane
markings.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 40 mph (65
km/h)).
When the system interprets the behaviour of
the vehicle as indicating a certain threshold of
driver fatigue or inattention, it triggers the first
level of alert.
The driver is then alerted by the message
" Ta k e c a r e ! ", accompanied by an audible
signal.
After three first level alerts, the system triggers
a further alert with the message " Dangerous
driving: take a break ", accompanied by a
more pronounced audible signal.
In certain driving conditions (poor road
sur face or strong winds), the system may
give alerts independent of the driver's
level of vigilance. The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
from working:
-
l

ane markings absent, worn, hidden
(snow, mud) or multiple (roadworks),
-

c
lose to the vehicle ahead (lane
markings not detected),
-

r
oads that are narrow, winding, etc.
Blind Spot Detection
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
This system warns the driver of the presence of
another vehicle (car, lorry, bicycle) in the blind
spots of their vehicle (areas hidden from the
driver's field of vision), as soon as this presents
a potential danger. The alert is given by a fixed warning lamp
which appears in the door mirror on the side in
question:
-
i

mmediately, when being overtaken,
-
a
fter a delay of about one second, when
overtaking a vehicle slowly.
Operation
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.
The alert is given by an orange warning lamp
coming on in the relevant door mirror, as soon
as a vehicle - car, lorry, bicycle - is detected.
The following conditions must be met for this:
-

a
ll vehicles are moving in the same direction
and in adjacent lanes,
-

t
he speed of your vehicle must be between
7 and 87 mph (12 and 140
km/h),
-

ou overtake a vehicle with a speed
difference of less than 6 mph (10
km/h),
-

a v
ehicle overtakes you with a speed
difference of less than 16 mph (25
km/h),

flashes.
Parking sensors
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear, as confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear. Using sensors located in the bumper, this
function warns of the proximity of obstacles
(e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) entering
their field of detection.
Audible assistance
The function signals the presence of obstacles
present within the sensors’ detection zone.
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than about thirty
centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)
allows you to identify the side on which the
obstacle is located.
Visual assistance
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towbar approved by
CITROËN.

(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel, etc.) is strictly prohibited
(risk of damage to the engine and fuel
syste m).
The only Diesel fuel additives authorised
for use are those that meet the B715000
standard.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the
f ormation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel
fuels could prevent the engine from operating
correctly. In these temperature conditions, use
winter-type Diesel fuel and keep the fuel tank
more than 50
% full.
At temperatures below -15
°C (+5 °F) to avoid
problems starting, it is best to park the vehicle
under shelter (heated garage).
Travelling abroad
Cer tain fuels could damage your vehicle’s
engine.
In cer tain countries, the use of a par ticular
fuel may be required (specific octane
rating, specific trade name, etc.) to ensure
correct operation of the engine.
For all additional information, consult a dealer.
Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590,
EN16734 and EN16709 standards respectively
and containing up to 7%, 10%, 20% and 30%
fatty acid methyl ester respectively. The use of
B20 or B30 fuels, even occasionally, imposes
special maintenance conditions referred to as
"Arduous conditions".
Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the
EN15940 standard.

During the 30 minutes after topping up the
o il, the check per formed with the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel when the
ignition is switched on is not valid.
Brake fluid
The level of this fluid should be
close to the " MAX" mark. If not,
check the brake pad wear.
To know how often the brake fluid should be
replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing
schedule. If topping up, clean the cap before
replacing it. Use only DOT4 brake fluid
from a sealed canister.

fter checking the level, carefully refit the oil
filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.
Power steering fluid
The level of this fluid should be
close to the " MAX" mark. With the
engine cold and the vehicle standing
on level ground, check this by
reading the level on the filler neck.
Engine coolant
Check the engine coolant level
regularly.
It is normal to top up this fluid
between two services.
The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low level presents a risk of serious damage
to the engine.
The level of this fluid should be close to the
" MAX " mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the " MIN” mark,
it is essential to top up. the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up to the required level.
Screen and headlamp
washer fluid
Top up the reser voir when you next
stop the vehicle.
Fluid specification
The fluid must be topped up with a ready-to-
use mixture.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a liquid
containing an agent to prevent freezing must
be used which is appropriate for the prevailing
conditions, in order to protect the elements of
the system (pump, tank, ducts, jets, etc.).
When the engine is hot, the temperature of this
fluid is regulated by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any
work.
To avoid the risk of scalding if you need to top
up in an emergency, wrap a cloth around the
cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to allow Filling with pure water is prohibited
under all circumstances (risk of freezing,
limestone deposits, etc.).
Diesel fuel additive (Diesel
with particle filter)
or
The minimum level in the particle
filter additive tank is indicated by
fixed illumination of this warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible
warning and a message warning that
the level of additive is too low.

Practical information

195
Particle filter (Diesel)
or The 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.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates
a low Diesel additive level.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.
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. New vehicle
The first particle filter regeneration
operations may be accompanied by a
"burning" smell, which is per fectly normal.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Electronic 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.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at
least 37 mph (60

km/h) until the warning lamp
goes off. 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.
Brake disc/drum wear
For any information on checking
brake disc/drum wear, contact 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.
This system must be checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Wheels and tyres
The pressure must be checked on
all tyres, including the spare wheel,
when the tyres are "cold".
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.
Driving with under-inflated tyres 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
the braking and road holding per formance of
the vehicle. It is recommended to regularly
check the condition of the tyres (tread and
sidewalls) and wheel rims as well as the
presence of the valves.
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.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the per formance or fuel
consumption of its 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.
SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85%
of 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
20


litres. Its capacity allows a driving range of
approximately 4,300
miles (7,000 km)
( highly dependent on your driving style
and the vehicle). An alert system is triggered
automatically 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) before
the tank is empty and the vehicle is disabled.
If the estimated distance travelled by the
vehicle between two ser vices is greater than
3,700 miles (6,000 km), it will be necessary to
top up the AdBlue.
For more information on the Warning
and indicator lamps and the associated
alerts, or the Indicators , refer to the
corresponding sections.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.

Warning triangle
This safety equipment should be used in
addition to the hazard warning lamps.
Placing the triangle on the
road
Before leaving your vehicle to set up and install
the triangle, switch on the hazard warning
lamps and put on your high visibility vest.
Refer to the manufacturer's instructions on
unfolding and assembly supplied with the
triangle.The triangle is available as an accessory
;
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Running out of fuel
(Diesel)
With Diesel engines, the fuel system must be
primed if you run out of fuel.
Before priming , at least 5
litres of Diesel fuel
must be added to the tank.
For more information on Refuelling and
Misfuel prevention (Diesel) , refer to the
corresponding section.
For all versions other than BlueHDi, the
components are located in the engine
