engine
Ignition switch
STOP position: Anti-theft.
The ignition is off.
MAR position: ignition on.
Certain accessories can be used.
AV V position: starter.
The starter is operated.
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the key or the remote control, which would weigh
down on its blade in the ignition switch and
could cause a malfunction.
Starting the engine
► With the parking brake applied and the
gearbox in neutral, turn the key to the MAR
position.
► Wait until this warning lamp goes out,
then operate the starter (AV V position)
until the engine starts.
The period of illumination of the warning lamp
depends on the climatic conditions.
When the engine is hot, the warning lamp lights
up for a few moments; you can start the engine
immediately.
► When the engine starts, release the key.
Immobiliser warning lamp
If this warning lamp lights up, change key
and have the faulty key checked by a CITROËN
dealer.
Switching off the engine
► Immobilise the vehicle.
► Move the key back to the STOP position.
In low temperatures
In mountainous and/or cold areas, it is
advisable to use a "winter" type fuel suited to
low or minus temperatures.
Battery standby system
If your vehicle is to be out of use for an extended
period of time, such as during winter storage for
example, it is strongly recommended to put the battery in standby mode in order to protect it and
optimise its life.
To put the battery in standby mode:
► Switch the engine off ( STOP position).
► Press the red button, then turn the key to the
BATT position.
The battery goes into standby mode
approximately 7 minutes later.
This time is necessary to:
– allow the user to leave the vehicle and lock the
doors using the remote control.
– ensure that all vehicle electrical systems are
deactivated.
68
Driving
When the battery is in standby mode,
access to the vehicle is only possible by
unlocking the mechanical lock on the driver's
side door.
After a battery standby, the information (time, date, radio stations, etc.) is
memorised.
To remove the battery from standby mode:
► Turn the key to the MAR - ON position.
► Start the vehicle normally ( AV V position).
Parking brake
Application
► Apply the parking brake to immobilise the
vehicle.
► Check that the parking brake is correctly
applied before leaving the vehicle.
Apply the parking brake only when the
vehicle is stationary.
When parking on a slope, turn your
wheels towards the kerb and pull the
parking brake lever up.
There is no advantage in engaging a gear
after parking the vehicle, particularly if the
vehicle is loaded.
In the event of a failure of the
hydraulic braking system
While driving , to avoid any accidental
movement of the vehicle, use the parking
brake while depressing the brake pedal.
In this exceptional circumstance, it is
advisable to pull the parking brake up gently
so as not to block the rear wheels - risk of
skidding!
Release
► Pull the lever up gently and press the button
to release the parking brake.
When the vehicle is being driven, this
warning lamp coming on indicates that
the parking brake is still applied or has not been
fully released.
Manual gearbox
To change gear easily, always fully depress the
clutch pedal.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught under
the pedal:
– ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,
– never fit one mat on top of another.
Avoid leaving your hand on the gear knob as
the force exerted, even if slight, may wear the
internal components of the gearbox over time.
Engaging reverse gear
► Lift the ring under the knob to engage reverse
gear.
Never engage it until the vehicle has
come to a complete stop.
The movement must be done slowly to reduce
the noise when engaging reverse gear.
If fitted to the vehicle, the parking
sensors are activated when reverse gear
is engaged; an audible signal sounds.
For more information on the Parking
sensors, refer to the corresponding section.
Gear shift indicator
Depending on version or engine, this system
reduces fuel consumption by recommending a
higher gear change.
Gear shift recommendations should not be
considered compulsory. In fact, the road layout,
the traffic density and safety remain the deciding
factors when choosing the best gear. The driver
therefore remains responsible for deciding
whether or not to follow the indications issued by
the system.
The system cannot be deactivated.
Operation
The information appears in the instrument panel screen in the form of the SHIFT
indicator, accompanied by an upward arrow to
signal to the driver that they can change up.
The system adapts its gear shift recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the driver’s
requirements (power, acceleration, braking,
etc.).
The system never recommends engaging first
gear or reverse, or changing down.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start function puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during
phases when the vehicle is stopped (red lights,

Practical information
If the AdBlue® tank is completely empty
– which is confirmed by the message
"Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible" – it is
essential to add at least 5 litres.
After refilling
► Refit the blue cap to the tank filler and turn it
clockwise as far as it will go (one sixth of a turn).
► Close the fuel filler flap.
Do not dispose of AdBlue® containers in
the household waste.
Place them in a container reserved for this
purpose or take them back to where you
bought them.
Never store AdBlue® containers in your
vehicle.
Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This fluid is
non-flammable, colourless and odourless (when
kept in a cool place).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
affected area with soap and running water. In the
event of contact with the eyes, immediately rinse
the eyes with large amounts of water or with an
eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes. Seek
medical attention if you feel a persistent burning
sensation or irritation.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high temperature, for
example), the risk of release of ammonia cannot
be excluded: do not inhale the fluid. Ammonia
vapours have an irritant effect on mucous
membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Store AdBlue® out of the reach of
children, in its original container.
Procedure
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure that
the vehicle is parked on a flat and level surface.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the temperature
of the vehicle is above -11 °C. Otherwise the
AdBlue
® may be frozen and so cannot be poured
into its tank. Park the vehicle in a warmer area
for a few hours to allow the top-up to be carried
out.
Never put the AdBlue® into the Diesel
fuel tank.
If any AdBlue® is splashed, or if there are
any spillages on the bodywork, rinse
immediately with cold water or wipe with a
damp cloth.
If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off using a
sponge and hot water.
Important: in the event of a top-up after
an AdBlue breakdown, you must wait
about 5 minutes before switching on the
ignition, without opening the driver's door,
unlocking the vehicle or bringing the
electronic key into the passenger
compartment.
Switch on the ignition, then wait for 10
seconds before starting the engine.
► Switch off the ignition and remove the key
from the switch to switch off the engine.
► Turn the blue cap of the AdBlue® tank a 6th of
a turn anti-clockwise and remove it.
Filling up
► With a container of AdBlue®: after checking
the expiry date, read the instructions on the
label carefully before pouring the contents of the
container into the vehicle's AdBlue tank.
► With an AdBlue
® pump: introduce the nozzle
and fill the tank until the nozzle automatically
cuts out.
In order not to overfill the AdBlue® tank:
– Add between 10 and 13 litres using
AdBlue
® containers.
– Stop after the nozzle’s first automatic cut-
out, if you are refilling at a service station.
The system only registers AdBlue
® top-ups of
5 litres or more.

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.
