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):
-
w
orsens road-holding,
-
l
engthens braking distances,
-
c
auses premature wear of the tyres,
-
i
ncreases fuel consumption. This is signalled by the fixed
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.
F
U
sing a compressor, such as the one in the
temporary puncture repair kit, check the
pressures of the four tyres when cold.

Exceeding the programmed speed
setting
The speed setting can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator
pedal (the programmed speed flashes).
To return to the speed setting, release
the accelerator pedal (when this speed is
reached again, the display of the speed
stops flashing).
Operating limits
Never use the system in the following
situations:
-
i
n an urban area with the risk of
pedestrians crossing the road,
-
i
n heavy traffic,
-
o
n winding or steep roads,
-
o
n slippery or flooded roads,
-
i
n unfavourable climatic conditions,
-
d
riving on a speed circuit,
-
d

-
u
se of snow chains, non-slip covers or
studded tyres.Cruise control
Refer to the General recommendations
on the use of driving and manoeuvring
aids and to Cruise control - par ticular
recommendations .
This system automatically keeps the
vehicle’s speed at the cruise value
programmed by the driver (speed
setting), without using the accelerator
pedal.
The cruise control is switched on manually.
It requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40
km/h).
With a manual gearbox, it requires the
engagement of third gear or higher.
With an automatic gearbox, it requires the
engagement of mode D or of second gear or
higher in mode M .
With an automatic or electronic gearbox,
second gear or higher must be engaged.
The cruise control remains active after
changing gear regardless of the gearbox
type on engines fitted with Stop & Start. Switching off the ignition cancels any
speed setting.
Steering mounted control
1.
ON (CRUISE position)/OFF ( 0 position).
2. Activation of cruise control at the current
speed/decrease speed setting.
3. Activation of cruise control at the current
speed/increase speed setting.
4. Pausing/resumption of cruise control with
the speed setting previously stored.
5. Depending on version:

- Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency b r ak ing).
The vehicle has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen and a radar located in the front
b u m p e r. This system does not avoid the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system is designed to assist the
driver and improve road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to
continuously monitor the state of the
traffic, observing the driving regulations.
As soon as the system detects a potential
obstacle, it prepares the braking circuit in
case automatic braking is needed. This
may cause a slight noise and a slight
sensation of deceleration.Operating conditions and
limits
The ESC system must not be faulty.
All passenger seat belts must be fastened.
Driving at a steady speed on roads with few
bends is required.
In the following cases, deactivating the system
via the vehicle's configuration menu is advised:
-
t
owing a trailer,
-
c
arrying long objects on roof bars or roof
rack,
-
w
ith snow chains fitted,
-
b
efore using an automatic car wash, with
the engine running,
-
b
efore placing the vehicle on a rolling road
in a workshop,
-
t
owed vehicle, engine running,
-
d
amaged front bumper,
-
F
ollowing an impact to the windscreen close
to the detection camera.
It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
Consequently, always stay in control of
your vehicle and be prepared to react at
any time to avoid an accident. After an impact, the function automatically
stops operating. Contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
Distance Alert
It warns the driver if their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the vehicle in front or a pedestrian
present in their traffic lane.
Operation
Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert threshold
chosen by the driver, several different levels
of alert may be triggered and displayed in the
instrument panel.
They take account of the vehicle dynamics, the
speeds of your vehicle and the one in front, the
environmental conditions and the operation of
the vehicle (cornering, actions on the pedals,
etc.) to trigger the alert at the best moment.
Level
1 (orange colour) : visual
alert only, signalling that the vehicle
in front is very close.
The message " Vehicle close" is
displayed.
Driving
187
The vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter
which reduces harmful substances 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 star ting the engine.
Fuel cut- of f
Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that
cuts off the supply of fuel in the event of an
impact.
Diesel misfuel prevention
Mechanical device which prevents filling the
tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It helps
avoid the risk of engine damage that can result
from filling with the wrong fuel.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel
prevention device appears when the filler cap
is removed. It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill the
t a n k s l ow l y.
In order to ensure a good flow of fuel,
do not place the nozzle of the fuel can in
direct contact with the flap of the misfuel
prevention device.Driving abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may make
refuelling impossible.
Not all Diesel vehicles are fitted with
misfuel protection, so before travelling
abroad, we recommend that you check
with the CITROËN dealer network,
whether your vehicle is suitable for the
fuel pumps in the country in which you
intend to travel.
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
into contact with the flap. The system remains
closed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.
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
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation specific to
each 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 position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of your vehicle.
F
F
it the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
F
M
ove off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 31 mph
(50
km/h).
F
S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.
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 fixings is in contact with the
wheel rim. Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
You can also use snow socks.
For more information, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Towing device
Load distribution
F
D istribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without exceeding
it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. The maximum
towed load must be reduced by 10
% for every
1,000 metres of altitude. Use towing devices and their unmodified
harnesses approved by CITROËN. It is
recommended that the installation be
per formed by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the towing device is not fitted by
a CITROËN dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Certain driving assistance or manoeuvring
assistance functions are automatically
disabled if an approved towbar is used.
Obser ve the maximum authorised towable
weight, indicated on your vehicle's
registration certificate, the manufacturer's
label as well as in the Technical data
section of this guide.
Complying with the maximum
authorised nose weight (towball)
also includes the use of accessories
(bicycle carriers, tow boxes, etc.).
Obser ve the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving.
