Distraction detection
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
Depending on version, the function consists of
either the "Coffee Break Alert" system alone or
combined with the "Driver Attention Warning"
system.
These systems are in no way designed to keep the driver awake or to prevent
the driver from falling asleep at the wheel.
It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling
tired.
Take a break if you are feeling tired or at least
every 2 hours.
Activation/Deactivation
This function is set via the vehicle configuration menu.
The function is activated by default when the
ignition is switched on.
Coffee Break Alert
The system triggers an alert when it detects that the driver has not taken a
break after two hours of driving at a speed above
43 mph (70
km/h).
This alert is issued via the display of a message
encouraging the driver to take a break,
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the alert
is repeated hourly until the vehicle is stopped.
The system resets itself if one of the following
conditions is met:
–
With the engine running, the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 15 minutes.
– The ignition has been switched off for a few
minutes.
–
The driver's seat belt is unfastened and their
door is opened.
As soon as the speed of the vehicle drops below 43 mph (70 km/h), the
system goes into standby.
Driving time starts being counted again once
the speed reaches above 43
mph (70 km/h).
Driver Attention Warning
Depending on version, the Coffee Break Alert
system may be combined with the Driver
Attention Warning system.
The system assesses the driver's level of alertness, fatigue and distraction by
identifying trajectory changes in relation to the
lane markings.
To do this, the system uses a camera, placed on
the upper part of the windscreen.

Compatibility of fuels
Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590, EN16734
and EN16709 standards 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.
The use of any other type of (bio) fuel
(e.g. pure or diluted vegetable or animal
oils, domestic fuel) is strictly prohibited - risk
of damaging the engine and fuel system!
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
formation 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
Certain fuels could damage your vehicle’s
engine.
In certain countries, the use of a particular
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.
Refuelling
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 69 litres.
Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached,
one of these warning lamps lights
up on the instrument panel, accompanied by the
display of a message and an audible signal.
When it first comes on, about 8 litres of fuel
remain.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
For more information on Running out of fuel
(Diesel), refer to the corresponding section.
A small arrow by the warning lamp indicates which side of the vehicle the
fuel filler flap is located on.
Stop & Start
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Refuelling
At least 8 litres of fuel must be added, in order to
be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may create a noise caused
by an inrush of air. This is entirely normal and
results from the sealing of the fuel system.
To refuel in complete safety:
►
Always switch off the engine.
►
Unlock the vehicle using the Keyless Entry
and Start.
► Open the fuel filler flap.
179
Practical information
7Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.
It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill
the tank slowly.
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.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may make
refuelling impossible.
Before travelling abroad, it is advisable to
check with a CITROËN dealer if the vehicle is
suitable for the distribution equipment of the
countries visited.
