Lighting and visibility
After refitting a windscreen wiper blade
► To return the wiper blades to their initial
position, switch on the ignition and operate the
wiper control stalk.
Changing a wiper blade
Removing/refitting at the front
► Carry out these wiper blade replacement
operations from the driver's side.
► Starting with the wiper blade farthest from
you, hold each arm by the rigid section and raise
it as far as possible.
Take care not to hold the arms at the jet locations.
Do not touch the wiper blades. Risk of
irreparable deformation.
Do not release them while moving them. Risk
of damaging the windscreen!
Windscreen wash
► Pull the wiper control stalk towards you and
hold.
The screenwash and windscreen wipers operate
for as long as the control stalk is pulled.
A
final wiping cycle is performed when
screenwashing ends.
On vehicles fitted with automatic air
conditioning, any action on the
screenwash control temporarily closes the air
intake, to avoid odours inside the passenger
compartment.
The windscreen wash jets are incorporated into the tip of each wiper
arm.
Screenwash fluid is sprayed along the length
of the wiper blade. This improves visibility and
reduces screenwash fluid consumption.
In some cases, depending on the contents
or colour of the fluid and on the exterior
brightness, the liquid spray may be barely
noticeable.
To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do not operate the windscreen washer if the
windscreen washer reservoir is empty.
Only operate the windscreen washer if
there is no risk of the fluid freezing on the
windscreen and hindering visibility. Always
use windscreen washer fluid suitable for low
temperatures during the winter period.
Never top up with water.
Rear wiper
Rear wiper selection ring:
Off.
Intermittent wiping (proportional to the
speed of the vehicle).
Wash-wipe (set duration).
Reverse gear
When reverse gear is engaged, the rear wiper
will come into operation automatically if the
windscreen wipers are operating.
Activation/Deactivation
Activation or deactivation is set via the vehicle
configuration menu.
This system is activated by default.
If a significant accumulation of snow or
ice is present, or when using a bicycle
carrier on the boot, deactivate the automatic
rear wiper.
Special position of the
windscreen wipers
This maintenance position is used while cleaning
or replacing the wiper blades. It can also be
useful, in winter (ice, snow), to release the wiper
blades from the windscreen.
To maintain the effectiveness of the flat wiper blades, it is advisable to:
–
handle them with care,
–
clean them regularly using soapy water
,
–
avoid using them to retain cardboard on the
windscreen,
–
replace them at the first signs of wear
.
Before removing a windscreen wiper blade
► Actuating the wiper control stalk within one
minute of switching off the ignition will position
the wiper blades vertically
.
►
Proceed with the desired operation or replace
the wiper blades.

Special cases
The engine will restart automatically if all
conditions for operation are met again and in the
following case.
–
Speed of the vehicle exceeds 2 mph (3
km/h)
(depending on the engine).
In this case, this indicator lamp flashes for
a few seconds, then goes off.
Malfunctions
Depending on the vehicle’s equipment:In the event of a system malfunction, this
warning lamp flashes on the instrument
panel.
The warning lamp in this button flashes and a message appears, accompanied by
an audible signal.
Have the vehicle checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
The vehicle stalls in STOP mode
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come
on if there is a fault.
Depending on version, a warning message
may also be displayed, prompting you to place
the gear selector in position N and depress the
brake pedal.
►
Switch off the ignition then start the engine
again with the key or the " ST
ART/STOP" button.
The Stop & Start system requires a 12 V
battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work concerning the battery must be
carried out only by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Under-inflation detection
This system automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
It compares the information given by the wheel
speed sensors with reference values, which
must be reinitialised every time the tyre
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one or
more tyres.
Under-inflation detection 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.
The inflation pressures defined for the vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the Identification
markings, refer to the corresponding section.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done when the
tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or
after a journey of less than 6 miles (10
km) at
moderate speeds).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures
shown on the label.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Spare wheel
The steel spare wheel does not have an
under-inflation detection sensor.
Under-inflation alert
This is signalled by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and, depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
► Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive
steering movements and avoid sudden braking.
► Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.
The loss of pressure detected does not always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
► Using a compressor, such as the one in
the temporary puncture repair kit, check the
pressures of the four tyres when cold.
► If it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced speed.
► In the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel
(depending on equipment).
The alert is kept active until the system is reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
Reinitialise the system after adjusting one or
more tyre pressures and after changing one or
more wheels.
Before reinitialising the system, make
sure that the pressures of the four tyres

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“,

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
your 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) and towed load
values indicated are valid up to a maximum
altitude of 1,000 metres. The towed load value
must be reduced by 10% for each additional
1,000 metres of altitude.
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, limit 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
local legislation in force).
If the exterior temperature is high, it is
recommended that the engine is allowed
to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the vehicle
comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.
