Curtain airbags
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of the
lateral airbags. For information on the
range of seat covers suitable for your
vehicle, contact a CITROËN dealer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backrests (clothes, etc.), as this could
cause injuries to the thorax or arm when
the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.
The vehicle's front door panels include
side impact sensors.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or
incorrectly executed work (modification or
repair) on the front doors or their interior
trim could compromise the operation of
these sensors - risk of malfunction of the
lateral airbags!
Such work must only be done by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
General points relating to
child seats
The legislation on carrying children is
specific to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country. -

S
tatistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carr ying children are the rear
seats.
-
A c
hild weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the "rear ward facing" position
both in the front and in the rear.
It is recommended that children travel on
the rear seats of your vehicle:
- "
rearward facing " up to the age of 3,
- "
forward facing " over the age of 3.
Ensure that the seat belt is positioned and
tightened correctly.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure
that the support leg is in firm and steady
contact with the floor.
At the front: if necessary, adjust the
passenger seat.
At the rear: if necessary, adjust the
relevant front seat.
Remove and stow the head restraint
before installing a child seat with backrest
on a passenger seat. Refit the head
restraint once the child seat has been
removed.
Feel
, Shine , Business
Lounge
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof,
as this could cause head injuries when the
curtain airbag is deployed.
Do not remove the grab handles installed
on the roof, as they play a part in securing
the curtain airbags.
For maximum safety, please obser ve the
following recommendations:
-

I

n accordance with European regulations,
all children under the age of 12 or less
than one and a half metres tall must
travel in approved child seats suited to
their weight , on seats fitted with a seat belt
or ISOFIX mountings.
Safety

In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.Respect the maximum towable weights.
At altitude:
reduce the maximum load
by 10% per 1,000 metres of altitude ; the
density of the air decreases with altitude
and the performance of the engine
reduces.
New vehicle: do not pull a trailer before
having driven at least 620 miles (1,000
kilometres).
If the outside temperature is high, let the
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight (at the point
where it joins your vehicle) approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
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 signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height of your
vehicle.
If a genuine CITROËN towing device is
used, the rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill increases the
temperature of the coolant. The maximum
towable load depends on the gradient and the
exterior temperature. The cooling capacity of
the fan does not increase with engine speed.
F

T
o reduce the heating up, reduce the
vehicle speed and the engine speed.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
If you are obliged to drive on a flooded road:
F

c

heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15

cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users,
F

d

eactivate the Stop & Start function,
F

d

rive as slowly as possible without stalling.
In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10

km/h),
F

d

o not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety
conditions 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.

F
H
ave the vehicle checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The vehicle stalls in STOP mode
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come
on if this fault occurs.
Depending on version, a warning message may
also be displayed, asking you to place the gear
selector in position N and to press the brake
pedal.
F

Switch off the ignition then start the engine again with the key or the " START/STOP"
button. The Stop & Start system requires a
12
V battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work concerning the battery must be
carried out only by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault with the system,
this warning lamp flashes in the
instrument panel.
The warning lamp in this button
flashes and a message appears,
accompanied by an audible signal.
Tyre under-inflation
detection
This system automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
It compares the information given by the wheel
speed sensors with reference values, which
must be reinitialised ever y time the tyre
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed .
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.
Driving

155
The inflation pressures specified for the
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings, refer to the
corresponding section.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done 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 pressures
shown on the label. Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Spare wheel
The steel spare wheel does not have an
under-inflation detection sensor.
Under-inflation alert
Under-inflation detection does not replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
This system does not avoid the need
to regularly check the tyre pressures
(including the spare wheel) as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres,
particularly in adverse conditions (heavy
load, high speed, long journey):

illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal
and, depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
F

R
educe speed immediately, avoid excessive
steering movements and avoid sudden
braking.
F

S
top the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check. F
I f it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
F

I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).
The alert is kept active until the system is
reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
Reinitialise the system after adjusting one or
more tyre pressures and after changing one or
more wheels.
Before reinitialising the system, make
sure that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and conform to the values written
on the tyre pressure label.
Check the pressures of the four tyres
before performing the reinitialisation.
The system does not advise if a pressure
is incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

Driving aids camera
This camera and its associated functions
may be impaired if the windscreen area in
front of the camera is dirty, misty, frosty,
covered with snow, damaged or masked
by a sticker.
On versions with camera alone, this
message indicates to you that the camera
is obstructed: "Driving aids camera:
Visibility limited, see user guide".
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle
(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low
sun, reflections on a damp road, leaving
a tunnel, alternating shade and light) can
also impair detection performance. Other cameras
The images from the camera(s) displayed
on the touch screen or on the instrument
panel may be distorted by the relief.
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and
with lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are.
Sensors
The operation of the sensors, as well
as the associated functions, may be
disturbed by sound inter ference such
as that emitted by noisy vehicles and
machinery (e.g. lorries, pneumatic drills),
by the accumulation of snow or dead
leaves on the road or in the event of
damaged bumpers and mirrors.
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the
sensors may be dirty.
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not
always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be distorted.
The sensors do not always detect
obstacles that are too low (pavements,
studs) or too thin (trees, posts, wire
fe n c e s).
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’
blind spots may not be detected or may no
longer be detected during the manoeuvre.
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.

Maintenance
Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and
the field of vision of the cameras regularly.
When washing your vehicle at high
pressure, direct the spray from at least
30 cm away from the radar, sensors and
cameras.
Mats
The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with the operation
of the speed limiter or cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
F

e
nsure that the mat is secured
c o r r e c t l y,
F

n
ever fit one mat on top of another.
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed displayed
on the instrument panel (mph or
km/h) are
those for the country you are driving in.
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is
stationary, set the display to the required
units of speed so that it complies with
what is authorised locally.
In case of doubt, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.Head-up display
