6This system (also called HHC - Hill Hold
Control), integrated with the dynamic stability
control system, is activated in the following
conditions:
– the vehicle must be stationary, engine running,
foot on the brake,
– the gradient of the road must be steeper than
5%,
– uphill, the gearbox must be in neutral or in a
gear other than reverse,
– downhill, reverse gear must be engaged.
The hill start assist system is a driving
aid. It is not an automatic vehicle parking
function or an automatic parking brake.
Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal pressed,
from the time you release the brake pedal,
without using the parking brake, you have
approximately 2 seconds to move off before the
vehicle starts to roll back.
During the moving off phase, the function is
deactivated automatically, gradually releasing
the braking pressure. During this phase, you
may hear the typical mechanical brake release
noise, signalling the imminent movement of the
vehicle.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If you need to get out of the vehicle with
the engine running, apply the parking brake
manually then ensure that the parking brake
indicator lamp is on.
Hill start assist is deactivated in the following
situations:
– when the clutch pedal is released,
– when the parking brake is applied,
– when the engine is switched off,
– if the engine stalls.
Malfunction
If a malfunction of the system occurs, this
warning lamp lights up, accompanied by
an audible signal and confirmed by a message
on the display. Have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Tyre under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the pressures
of the four tyres, as soon as the vehicle is
moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of each
tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one or
more tyres.
The under-inflation detection system 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):
– worsens road-holding,
– lengthens braking distances,
– causes premature wear of the tyres,
– increases fuel consumption.

Driving
The message "Vehicle close" is displayed.Level 2 (red): visual and audible alert,
signalling that a collision is imminent.
The message "Brake! " is displayed.
Level 3: finally, in some cases, a haptic alert
in the form of micro-braking can be given,
confirming the risk of collision.
Where the speed of your vehicle is too
high approaching another vehicle, the
first level of alert may not be displayed: the
level 2 alert may be displayed directly.
Important: the level 1 alert is never displayed
for a stationary obstacle or when the " Close"
trigger threshold has been selected.
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to avoid a
collision, this system will supplement the braking,
within the limits of the laws of physics.
This assistance will only be provided if the driver
presses the brake pedal.
Active Safety Brake
This function, also called automatic emergency
braking, intervenes following the alerts if the
driver does not react quickly enough and does
not operate the vehicle's brakes.
It aims to reduce the speed of impact or avoid a
collision where the driver fails to react.
Operation
The system operates under the following
conditions:
– The vehicle's speed does not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h) when a stationary vehicle is detected.
– The vehicle's speed is between 3 mph and
53 mph (5 km/h and 85 km/h) when a moving
vehicle is detected.
This warning lamp flashes (for about 10 seconds) once the function is acting
on the vehicle's brakes.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic
emergency braking until the vehicle comes to a
complete stop, the engine may stall.
The driver can maintain control of the vehicle at any time by sharply turning the
steering wheel and/or pressing the
accelerator pedal.
Operation of the function may be felt by
slight vibration in the brake pedal.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the
automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 2
seconds.
Malfunction
In the event of a system malfunction, this
warning lamp comes on on the instrument
panel, accompanied by an onscreen message
and an audible signal.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
If these warning lamps come on
after the engine has been switched
off and then restarted, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
Audible rear parking sensors
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
If fitted to your vehicle, the system consists of 4
proximity sensors installed in the rear bumper.
They detect any obstacle, e.g. person, vehicle,
tree, barrier, which is behind the vehicle while
manoeuvring.
Certain types of obstacle detected at the
beginning of the manoeuvre will no longer be
detected at the end of manoeuvre if they are
located in the blind spots between and under the
sensors. Examples: stake, roadworks cone or
pavement post.
The rear parking sensors may be associated
with the reversing camera.
Switching on
► Engage reverse gear with the gear lever.

Practical information
7A clogged passenger compartment filter can adversely affect air conditioning
system performance and generate
undesirable odours.
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the engine
oil is changed.
Particle filter (Diesel)
In addition to the catalytic converter, this filter
actively contributes to the preservation of
air quality by trapping the unburnt pollutant
particles. Black exhaust fumes are therefore not
emitted.
Operation
This filter, inserted into the exhaust system,
accumulates the carbonaceous particles. The
engine management computer automatically
and periodically manages the removal of
carbonaceous particles (regeneration).
The regeneration procedure is triggered
according to the amount of accumulated
particles and the conditions of use of the vehicle.
During this phase, you may notice certain
phenomena - accelerated idling, triggering of
the cooling fan, increased smoke and increased
temperature at the exhaust - which have no
impact on the operation of the vehicle and the
environment.
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 while
accelerating. This has no impact on the
vehicle’s behaviour and the environment.
Due to the high exhaust temperatures
caused by the normal operation of the
particle filter, it is recommended not to park
the vehicle on flammable materials (grass, dry
leaves, pine needles, etc.) to avoid any risk of
fire.
Saturation/Regeneration
If there is a risk of clogging, this warning
lamp comes on, accompanied by a
message on the instrument panel display.
This warning is due to the start of saturation of
the particle filter (exceptionally long urban driving
conditions: reduced speed, traffic jams, etc.).
In order to regenerate the filter, it is
recommended to drive as soon as possible -
when traffic conditions and regulations permit
- at a speed of at least 37 mph (60 km/h), with
an engine speed above 2,000 rpm for about
15 minutes (until the warning lamp and/or the
message disappear).
If possible, avoid switching off the engine
before the end of filter regeneration; repeated
interruptions can lead to early deterioration of the
engine oil. It is not recommended to terminate
the filter regeneration with the vehicle stationary.
Malfunction
If this alert persists, do not ignore this warning;
this indicates that a malfunction has occurred in
the exhaust system/particle filter assembly.
Have the assembly checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Manual 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.
If this warning lamp comes on, have the
brake pads checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in
wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may
be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and
defrost them.

In the event of a breakdown
8► Disconnect hose I and directly connect it
to the tyre valve; the cartridge will thereby be
connected to the compressor and the sealant will
not be injected.
If the tyre needs to be deflated, connect hose
I to the tyre valve and press the yellow button
located in the centre of the compressor switch.
Replacing the cartridge
To replace the sealant cartridge, proceed as
follows:
► Disconnect the hose I.
► Turn the cartridge to be replaced anti-
clockwise and lift it.
► Insert the new cartridge and turn it clockwise,
► Reconnect the hose I and connect pipe B to
its location.
The cartridge contains ethylene glycol, which is harmful if swallowed and irritates
the eyes.
It must be kept out of the reach of children.
After use, do not discard the cartridge in standard waste, take it to a
CITROËN dealer or an authorised waste
disposal site.
Spare wheel
Parking
► Park the vehicle where it does not block
traffic: the ground must be level, stable and
non-slippery.
► If the road is sloping or damaged, place an
object under the wheels to act as a chock.
► With a manual gearbox, engage first gear
then switch off the ignition to block the wheels.
► Apply the parking brake and check that the
warning lamp is on in the instrument panel.
► The passengers must get out of the vehicle
and wait where they are safe.
► Put on the high visibility vest and signal that
the vehicle is immobile by using the devices
envisaged by the legislation in force in the
country where you are driving (warning triangle,
hazard warning lamps, etc.).
► Equip yourself with the tools.
Special feature with pneumatic
suspension
If fitted to the vehicle, activate the vehicle lifting
mode before lifting the vehicle with a jack.
For right-hand drive vehicles, the buttons are
located on the right of the steering wheel.
► With the ignition on, press both buttons 1 and
2 simultaneously for at least 5 seconds.
Their indicator lamps light up, and remain fixed.
► To exit this mode, press buttons 1 and 2
simultaneously for an additional 5 seconds.
Their indicator lamps go out and the system
becomes fully operational again.
This mode is automatically deactivated if you
exceed the speed by about 3 mph (5 km/h).
Once the vehicle is well secured, proceed in the
following order:
1- Getting the tools.
2- Removing the spare wheel from its
housing.
3- Positioning the jack.
4- Replacing the wheel to be repaired.
5- Storing the wheel to be repaired.

In the event of a breakdown
► Connect the red cable to metallic terminal A,
then to the (+) terminal of backup battery B.
► Connect one end of the green or black cable
to the negative (-) terminal of backup battery B.
► Connect the other end of the green or black
cable to earth point C of your vehicle.
► Operate the starter, let the engine run.
► Wait for the engine to return to idle and
disconnect the cables.
Charging the battery using a
battery charger
► Access the battery, located in the left-hand
front floor.
► Disconnect the battery.
► Follow the instructions for use provided by
the manufacturer of the charger.
► Reconnect starting with the (-) terminal.
► Check the cleanliness of the terminals. If they
are covered with sulphate (whitish or greenish
deposit), remove and clean them.
The charging operation must be carried out in a well-ventilated area and away
from naked flames and any sources of sparks
so as to avoid the risk of explosion or fire.
Do not try to recharge a frozen battery: it
must first be thawed to avoid the risk of
explosion. If it has frozen, before charging it,
have the battery checked by a specialist who
will check that the interior components have
not been damaged and that the container is
not cracked, which would involve a risk of
leakage of toxic and corrosive acid.
Perform a slow charge at low amperage for
about 24 hours maximum to avoid damaging
the battery.
The presence of this label, in particular with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specification; the
involvement of a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop is essential when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.
After refitting the battery at a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop, the Stop
& Start system will only be active after a
continuous period of immobilisation of the
vehicle, a period which depends on the
climatic conditions and the state of charge of
the battery (up to about 8 hours).
Towing
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in the
country where you are driving.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is
higher than that of the towed vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of the
towed vehicle and must have a valid driving

Engines
The engine characteristics are given in the
vehicle's registration document, as well as in
sales brochures.
The maximum power corresponds to the value type-approved on a test bed, under
conditions defined in European legislation
(Directive 1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Weights and towed loads
The weights and towed loads relating to
the vehicle are indicated on the registration
document, as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also indicated on the
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
The GTW (Gross Train Weight) values and the
towable loads listed are valid for a maximum
altitude of 1,000 metres. The towable load must
be reduced by steps of 10% for each additional
1,000 metres.
The maximum authorised nose weight
corresponds to the weight permitted on the
towball.
When exterior temperatures are high, the
vehicle performance may be limited in
order to protect the engine. When the exterior
temperature is higher than 37°C, reduce the
towed weight.
Towing even with a lightly loaded vehicle can adversely affect its road holding.
Braking distances are increased when towing
a trailer.
When using a vehicle to tow, never exceed
a speed of 62 mph (100 km/h) (observe the
