6End 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.).
– Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind
spots may not be detected or may no longer be
detected during the manoeuvre.
–
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
–
A
front or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not always
detected by the system: distance measurements
may be distorted.
–
If the boot is heavily loaded, the vehicle may
tilt, affecting distance measurements.
The vehicle's sensors and camera(s) may be
impaired by:
–
accumulated snow or fallen leaves on the
road,
–
adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, thick
fog, falling snow),
–
noise interference from noisy vehicles and
machinery (lorries, pneumatic drills, etc.).
Do not use the function under the
following exterior conditions:
–
Alongside a soft shoulder (e.g. ditch) or
quay or on the edge of a drop.
–
When the road surface is slippery (e.g. ice).
If any of the following malfunctions
occurs, do not use the system:
–
If a tyre is under-inflated.
–
If one of the bumpers is damaged.
–
If one of the cameras is faulty
.
If the vehicle has undergone any of the
following modifications, do not use the
function:
–
When carrying an object extending beyond
the dimensions of the vehicle (ladder on the
roof bars, bicycle carrier on the tailgate, etc.).
–
With a non-approved towball in place.
–
With snow chains fitted.
–
When driving on a small-diameter or
"space-saver" type spare wheel.
–
When the wheels fitted are a different size
from the original ones.
–
After modifying one or both bumpers
(added protection).
–
If the sensors have been repainted other
than by the CITROËN dealer network.
–
With sensors not approved for the vehicle.
Malfunctions
When the function is not activated, this
indicator lamp will flash briefly and an
audible signal will be emitted to indicate a
system malfunction.
If the malfunction occurs while the system is in
use, the warning lamp goes off.
If the parking sensor malfunction occurs
during use, indicated by this warning lamp
coming on, it causes the function to deactivate.
In the event of a malfunction, have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

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.).

Practical information
70.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the
label.
Under-inflation increases fuel
consumption. Non-compliant tyre
pressure causes premature wear on tyres and
has an adverse effect on the vehicle's road
holding - risk of an accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the
braking and road holding performance of the
vehicle. It is recommended to regularly check the
condition of the tyres (tread and sidewalls) and
wheel rims as well as the presence of the valves.
When the wear indicators no longer appear set
back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is
less than 1.6 mm; it is imperative to replace the
tyres.
Using different size wheels and tyres from those
specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer
reading and have an adverse effect on road
holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
To respect the environment and ensure compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the performance or fuel
consumption of its Diesel engines, CITROËN
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles
with a system that associates SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) with a Diesel particle filter
(DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR System
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of
the nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.
The AdBlue® is contained in a special
tank holding about 17 litres.
Its capacity allows a driving range of
approximately 3,700
miles (6,000 km), (which
may vary considerably depending on your
driving style and the vehicle). An alert system
is automatically triggered when the remaining
range reaches 1,500 miles (2,400
km), i.e. once
the reserve level has been reached.
Several alerts are triggered successively during
the remaining 1,500 miles (2,400
km) before the
tank is empty and the vehicle blocked.
For more information on the Warning
and indicator lamps and the associated
alerts, or the Indicators, please refer to the
corresponding sections.
Once the AdBlue® tank is empty, a
system required by legislation prevents
starting of the engine.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of
emissions from the vehicle will no longer meet
the Euro 6 standard: the vehicle becomes
polluting.
In the event of a confirmed SCR system
malfunction, it is essential to visit a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop. After 680
miles (1,100 km), a device is automatically
activated to prevent the engine from starting.
In both cases, a range indicator indicates
the distance that can be travelled before the
vehicle is stopped.
Freezing of the AdBlue®
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below
around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a heater for the
AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to continue driving
in very cold conditions.
Supply of AdBlue®
It is recommended that the AdBlue® be topped
up as soon as the first alert is issued indicating
that the reserve level has been reached.
In order to ensure that the SCR system
operates correctly:
–
Use
only AdBlue
® fluid that meets the ISO
22241 standard.
–
Never
transfer AdBlue
® to another
container: it would lose its purity.
–
Never
dilute AdBlue
® with water.
You can obtain AdBlue
® from a CITROËN dealer
or in a qualified workshop.
