To assure the durability of your vehicle and
for safety reasons, remember that certain
precautions, described hereafter, should be
taken when driving your vehicle:
Manoeuvre cautiously, at low
speed
The dimensions of this vehicle differ greatly
from those of a light vehicle, in width, in height,
as well as in length, and some obstacles will be
more difficult to notice.
Manoeuvre slowly.
Before turning, check that there are no
obstacles at mid-height along the sides.
Before reversing, check that there are no
obstacles, particularly at high level behind the
vehicle.
Be aware of the external dimensions, if ladders
are fitted.
Drive the vehicle in a cautious
and efficient way
Take corners gently.
Anticipate the need to brake as the stopping
distance is increased, particularly on wet or icy
roads.
Be aware of the effect of side winds on the
vehicle.
Be careful
The tyres must be inflated to at least the
pressures indicated on the label, even over-
inflated by 0.2 to 0.3 bar for long journeys.
Important!
Never leave the engine running in
a closed space without sufficient
ventilation. Internal combustion engines
emit toxic exhaust gases such as carbon
monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death!
In severe wintry conditions (temperature
below -23°C), let the engine run for
4
minutes before moving off, to ensure
the correct operation and durability of the
mechanical components of your vehicle
(engine and gearbox). Never drive with the parking brake
applied
. Risk of overheating and damage
to the braking system!
Do not park the vehicle or leave the
engine running on a flammable sur face
(dr y grass, dead leaves, etc.). The
exhaust system of your vehicle is very
hot, even several minutes after the engine
stops. Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unattended with
the engine running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running, apply
the parking brake and put the gearbox into
neutral or position N or P (depending on
the type of gearbox).
Never leave children inside the vehicle
unsupervised .
On flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.

Malfunction
Reversing camera with
display in the interior
mirror
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
The visual reversing assistance camera is
activated automatically when reverse gear is
engaged. If a malfunction occurs, when
shifting to reverse, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal (short
b e e p).
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked. The function may be supplemented by parking
sensors.
The image is displayed in the interior mirror. They are represented as lines marked
"on the ground" and do not indicate the
position of the vehicle in relation to tall
obstacles (e.g. other vehicles).
Some distortion of the image is normal.
It is normal to have a part of the number
plate showing at the bottom of the screen.
Opening the tailgate or rear door
(depending on equipment) can interfere
with the display.
If a side-hinged door is open, allow for the
space it occupies.
The blue lines ( 1) represent the width of the
vehicle including the mirrors.
The red line ( 2) represents a distance of 30
cm
from the rear bumper and the thin blue lines
1
m (A) and 2
m (B) respectively. Check the cleanliness of the camera lens
regularly.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.

Zoom view
The camera records the vehicle's surroundings
during the manoeuvre in order to create a
view from above the rear of the vehicle in its
near surroundings, allowing the vehicle to be
manoeuvred around obstacles nearby.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the
view selection menu.
AUTO mode
This mode is activated by default.
Using sensors in the rear bumper, the
automatic view changes from a rear view
(standard) to a view from above (zoom), as an
obstacle is approached at the level of the red
line (less than 30
cm) during a manoeuvre.
Standard view
The area behind the vehicle is displayed on the
screen.
The blue lines 1 represent the width of your
vehicle, with the mirrors unfolded ; their
direction changes depending on the position of
the steering wheel.
The red line 2 represents a distance of 30
cm
from the bumper
; the two blue lines 3 and 4
represent 1
