C. Entering a "bay" parking space
Operation
► When approaching a parking area, reduce
the speed of your vehicle to 19 mph (30 km/h)
or less.
Activating the function
The function is activated via the vehicle configuration
menu.
Activating the function deactivates the Blind Spot Monitoring System.
You can deactivate the function at any time until the parking space entry or exit
manoeuvre begins, by pressing the arrow
located in the top left-hand corner of the
display page.
Selecting the type of manoeuvre

A manoeuvre selection page is displayed on the
touch screen: by default, the "Entry" page if the
vehicle has been running since the ignition was
switched on, otherwise, the "Exit" page.
►

Select the type and side of the manoeuvre to
activate the parking space search.
The selected manoeuvre can be changed at
any time, even while searching for an available
space.
This indicator lamp comes on to confirm the selection.
Parking space search
► You should drive at a distance of between
0.50 m and 1.50 m from the row of parked
vehicles, without ever exceeding 19
mph
(30
km/h), until the system finds an available
space.
The parking space search is suspended at
higher speeds. The function is automatically
deactivated if the vehicle speed exceeds 31 mph
(50 km/h).
For "parallel" parking, the space must
measure at least the length of your
vehicle plus 0.60 m.
For "bay" parking, the space must be at least
as wide as your vehicle plus 0.70 m.
If the parking sensors function has been
deactivated in the Driving/Vehicle touch
screen menu, it will be automatically
reactivated when the system is activated.


When the system finds an available space, " OK"
is displayed on the parking view, accompanied
by an audible signal.
Preparing for the manoeuvre
► Move very slowly until the request to stop
the vehicle is displayed: " Stop the vehicle“,

136

accompanied by the “STOP” sign and an audible
signal.
Once the vehicle has stopped, an instructions
page is displayed on the screen.
►

T
o prepare for the manoeuvre, follow the
instructions.
The start of the manoeuvre is indicated by the
"Manoeuvre under way" onscreen message
and an accompanying audible signal.
Reversing is indicated by this message:
“Release the steering wheel, reverse ”.
The Top Rear Vision and the parking sensors
are automatically activated to help you monitor
the area immediately surrounding your vehicle
during the manoeuvre.
During the manoeuvre
The system controls the vehicle’s steering. It
gives instructions on the manoeuvring direction
when starting "parallel" entry and exit parking
manoeuvres, and for all "bay" entry manoeuvres.
There instructions are displayed as a symbol
accompanied by a message:
"Reverse".
“Go forwards".
The manoeuvring status is indicated by these
symbols:
Manoeuvre in progress (green).
Manoeuvre cancelled or finished (red)
(the arrows indicate that the driver must
resume control of the vehicle).
The maximum speeds during manoeuvres are
indicated by these symbols:
75 mph or 7 km/h, for parking space entry.
53 mph or 5 km/h, for parking space exit.
During manoeuvring phases, the steering
wheel performs rapid turns: do not hold
the steering wheel or put your hands between
the spokes of the steering wheel. Watch out
for any objects that could interfere with the
manoeuvre (loose clothing, scarf, tie, etc.).
Risk of injury!
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly
monitor the traffic, especially vehicles coming
towards you.
The driver should check that no objects or
people are obstructing the vehicle’s path.
The images from the camera(s) displayed on the touch screen may be
distorted by the terrain.
In shady areas, or in inadequate sunlight
or lighting conditions, the image may be
darkened and with lower contrast
The manoeuvre can be permanently interrupted
at any time, either by the driver or automatically
by the system. Interruption by the driver:
–

taking over control of the steering.
–

activating the direction indicator lamps on the
opposite side to that of the manoeuvre.
–

unfastening the driver's seat belt.
–

switching off the ignition.
Interruption by the system:
–

vehicle exceeding the speed limit of
5
mph (7 km/h) during parking space entry
manoeuvres, or 3 mph (5 km/h) during parking
space exit manoeuvres.
–
activation of anti-slip regulation on a slippery
road.
–

opening of a door or the boot.
–

engine stall.
–

system malfunction.
–

after 10 manoeuvres to enter or exit a parallel
parking space and after 7 manoeuvres to enter a
parking bay
.
Interrupting the manoeuvre automatically
deactivates the function.
The manoeuvre symbol is displayed in red,
accompanied by the " Manoeuvre cancelled"
message on the touch screen.
A message prompts the driver to take back
control of the vehicle.
The function is deactivated after a few seconds; this warning lamp goes off and
the function returns to the initial display.
End of the parking space entry or exit
manoeuvre
The vehicle stops as soon as the manoeuvre is
completed.
The manoeuvre symbol is displayed in red,
accompanied by the message “ Manoeuvre
completed” on the touch screen.
When the function is deactivated, this
indicator lamp goes off, accompanied by
an audible signal.
When entering a parking space, the driver may
be required to complete the manoeuvre.
Operating limits
– The system may suggest an unsuitable
parking space (No Parking area, work in
progress with damaged road surface, location
alongside a ditch, etc.).
– The system may indicate that a space has
been found but not offer it because of a fixed
obstacle on the opposite side of the manoeuvre,
which would not allow the vehicle to follow the
necessary trajectory for parking.
– The system may indicate that a space has
been found but not engage the manoeuvre
because the road is too narrow.
– The system is not designed to perform the
parking manoeuvre on a sharp bend.
– The system does not detect spaces that are
much larger than the vehicle or are bounded by
obstacles that are very low (pavements, studs,
etc.) or very thin (trees, posts, wire fences, etc.).

Practical information
Compatibility of fuels
Petrol fuels conforming to the EN228 standard
containing up to 5% and 10% ethanol
respectively.

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 fuel additives authorised for use are those that meet the B715001 (petrol)
or B715000 (Diesel) standards.
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 61 litres
(petrol) or 50 litres (Diesel).
Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.
Low fuel level
/2
1 1When the low fuel level is reached,
this warning lamp comes on on the
instrument panel, accompanied by an onscreen
message and an audible signal. When it first
comes on, about 6 litres of fuel remain in the
tank.
Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp
appears every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by an onscreen message and
an audible signal. When driving, this message
and audible signal are repeated with increasing
frequency as the fuel level drops towards 0.
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.
Stop & Start
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Refuelling
At least 10 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 Starting.
►


Open the fuel filler flap.

141
Practical information
7

► With a conventional key, insert the key into
the filler cap, then turn the key to the left.


► Unscrew and remove the filler cap, then
place it on the holder located on the fuel filler
flap.
►

Insert the nozzle and push it in fully (while
pushing on the metal valve A

).
►

Fill the tank. Do not continue past the
third cut-off of the nozzle, as this may cause
malfunctions.
► Put the filler cap back in place and close it by
turning to the right.
►

Push the fuel filler flap to close it (your
vehicle must be unlocked).


If the fuel filler flap is open, a device
prevents the left-hand side door from
opening.
The door can be opened half-way, however.
Close the fuel filler flap to regain use of the
door.
The vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,
which helps to reduce the level of harmful
emissions in the exhaust gases.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have the fuel
tank drained and filled with the correct fuel
before starting the engine.
Fuel cut-off
Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that
cuts off the supply of fuel in the event of an
impact.
Misfuel prevention (Diesel)
(Depending on country of sale.)
This mechanical device prevents filling the tank
of a Diesel vehicle with petrol.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention
device appears when the filler cap is removed.
Operation

When a petrol filler nozzle is inserted into the
fuel filler neck of a Diesel vehicle, it comes into
contact with the flap. The system remains closed
and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.
It remains possible to use a fuel jerrycan
to fill the tank.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the presence

142
Practical information
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.
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.
Take account of the legislation specific to each country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed.
Installation tips
► If you have 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 your 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 your 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 your vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If your vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size (mm)
195/65 R15 9
205/60 R16
205/55 R17
215/65 R16
215/60 R17 cannot be fitted with
chains
You can also use snow socks.
For more information, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Towing device
Load distribution
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing
engine performance.
The maximum towed load
must be reduced by 10
% for every 1,000 metres
of altitude.
Use towing devices and their unmodified
harnesses approved by CITROËN. It is
recommended that the installation be
performed by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the towing device is not fitted by a
CITROËN dealer, it must still be fitted in
accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's
instructions.
Certain driving assistance or manoeuvring
assistance functions are automatically
disabled if an approved towbar is used.
Observe the maximum authorised
towable weight, indicated on your
vehicle's registration certificate, the
manufacturer's label as well as in the
Technical data section of this guide.
Complying with the maximum authorised
nose weight (towball) also includes the
use of accessories (bicycle carriers, tow
boxes, etc.).
