length (3 m, 6 m or 9 m).
In Auto mode, an icon appears in the instrument
panel indicating the length detected by the
system.
It may be necessary to make a 90° turn
to allow the system to detect the length
of the trailer.
When a trailer is detected, vehicle detection
when reversing is deactivated.
Operating conditions
– All vehicles are moving in the same direction
and in adjacent lanes.
– The speed of your vehicle is 6 mph (10 km/h)
minimum.
– When you overtake a vehicle, the speed
difference is less than 16 mph (25 km/h).
– When another vehicle overtakes you, the
speed difference is less than 31 mph (50 km/h).
Active Safety Brake with Collision Risk Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
This system:
– warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the vehicle in front.
– reduces the vehicle's speed to avoid a
collision or limit its severity.
This system is comprised of three functions:
– Collision Risk Alert.
– Intelligent emergency braking assistance.
– Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency
braking).
The vehicle has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen.
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.
Deactivation / Activation
By default, the system is automatically activated
at every engine start.
This function can be set using the MODE button; select “ON” or “OFF” in the “Active
Safety Brake” menu.
For more information on Vehicle
configuration (MODE) , please refer to
the corresponding section.
Deactivation of the system is signalled by
the illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a message.
Operating conditions and
limits
The ESC system must not be faulty.
The DSC/ASR systems must not be deactivated.
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:
– towing a trailer,
– carrying long objects on roof bars or roof rack,
– with snow chains fitted,
– before using an automatic car wash, with the
engine running,
– before placing the vehicle on a rolling road in
a workshop,
– towed vehicle, engine running,
– following an impact to the windscreen close to
the detection camera.
It is automatically deactivated after
detection of a fault with the brake pedal
switch or with at least two brake lamps.
After an impact, the function automatically stops operating. Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the system checked.
It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
The driver must always stay in control of their
vehicle and be prepared to react at any time
to avoid an accident.
Cases of non-detection by the system:
– Pedestrians, cyclists, animals, objects on the
road.
– Vehicles crossing your lane.
– Vehicles driving in the opposite direction.

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 (vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel, etc.) is strictly prohibited (risk
of damage to the engine and fuel system).
The only Diesel fuel additives authorised for use are those that meet the B715000
standard.

The capacity of the tank is about 90 litres.
Fuel tanks of different capacities may be fitted,
60 and 120 litres, depending on the engine.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel tank level E (Empty) is
reached, this warning lamp comes on.
At this moment, you have approximately 10 or
12 litres left in the reserve, depending on the
capacity of your tank and the engine.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
Refuelling
The fuel tank must be filled with the engine off.
► Open the fuel filler flap.
► Hold the black filler cap with one hand.
► With the other hand, insert the key and turn it
anti-clockwise.
► Remove the black filler cap and hang it on
the hook located on the inside of the filler flap.
A label inside the fuel filler flap indicates the type
of fuel to use.
Do not continue past the 3
rd cut-off of the nozzle.
This may cause malfunctions.
► After filling the fuel tank, lock the black filler
cap and close the filler flap.
With the Stop & Start system, never
refuel with the engine in STOP mode;
you must switch off the ignition using the key.
Fuel system cut off
In the event of an impact, a device automatically
cuts off the fuel supply to the engine and the
vehicle's power supply.
It triggers the hazard warning lamps and the

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.
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.
Observe the legislation in force in your
country on the use of snow chains and
the maximum authorised speed.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size.
205/70 R15 16 mm
215/70 R15 12 mm
225/70 R15 16 mm
215/75 R16 12 mm
225/75 R16 16 mm
For more information on snow chains, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Installation tips
► To fit the chains during a journey, stop the
vehicle on a flat surface on the side of the road.
► Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of the vehicle.
► Fit the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
► Move off gently and drive for a few moments,
without exceeding 31 mph (50 km/h).
► Stop the 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 surface.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy

In the event of a breakdown
Temporary puncture repair kit
This temporary puncture repair kit is stored in a
bag, placed in one of the front doors.
It includes:
– a cartridge A, containing the sealant, equipped
with: • a filling pipe B,
• a sticker C indicating "50 mph (80 km/h)
max.", which the driver must apply within
their field of vision (on the dashboard) after
having repaired the tyre,
– a quick user guide for the repair kit,
– a compressor D equipped with a pressure
gauge and connections,
– adapters, for the inflation of various
components.
Repairing a tyre
► Apply the parking brake.
► Unscrew the cap of the tyre valve, remove
filling hose B and screw ring E onto the valve.
► Make sure compressor switch F is in
position 0 (off).
► Start the engine.
► Insert plug G into the nearest socket on the
vehicle.
► Operate the compressor by setting switch F
to position I (on).
► Inflate the tyre to a pressure of 5 bar.
To obtain a more accurate reading, it is
recommended to check the pressure value on
pressure gauge H, with the compressor off.
► If a pressure of at least 3 bar is not reached
within 5 minutes, disconnect the compressor
from the valve and the power socket, then move
the vehicle forwards by approximately 10 metres,
to disperse the sealant inside the tyre.
► Then repeat the inflation procedure:
• if a pressure of at least 3 bar is not reached
within 10 minutes, stop your vehicle: the tyre
is too damaged and could not be repaired.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
• if the tyre pressure has reached 5 bar,
restart immediately.
► After driving for approximately 10 minutes,
stop and check the tyre pressure again.
► Restore the correct pressure in accordance
with the label on the driver's side pillar and
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
This puncture repair kit and the replacement cartridges are available
from a CITROËN dealer.
Checking and restoring
pressure
The compressor can only be used to check and
restore pressure.
► 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.
