Safety
General safety 
recommendations
Do not remove the labels attached in 
different places on your vehicle. They 
include safety warnings as well as 
identification information for the vehicle.
For all work on your vehicle, use a 
qualified workshop that has the technical 
information, skills and equipment required, all 
of which a CITROËN dealer is able to 
provide.
Depending on country regulations, 
certain safety equipment may be 
mandatory: high visibility safety vests, 
warning triangles, breathalysers, spare bulbs, 
spare fuses, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, mud 
flaps at the rear of the vehicle, etc.
Installing electrical accessories:
–  The fitting of electrical equipment or 
accessories not approved by CITROËN may 
cause excessive current consumption and 
faults and failures with the electrical system 
of your vehicle. Contact a CITROËN dealer 
for information on the range of approved 
accessories.
– As a safety measure, access to the 
diagnostic socket, used for the vehicle's 
electronic systems, is reserved strictly for 
CITROËN dealers or qualified workshops, 
equipped with the special tools required (risk 
of malfunctions of the vehicle's electronic 
systems that could cause breakdowns or 
serious accidents). 
The Manufacturer cannot 
be held responsible if this advice is not 
followed.
–
 
Any modification or adaptation not intended 
or authorised by CITROËN or carried out 
without meeting the technical requirements 
defined by the Manufacturer will result in the 
suspension of the commercial warranty
.
Installation of accessory radio 
communication transmitters
Before installing a radio communication 
transmitter with an external aerial, you must 
without fail contact a CITROËN dealer for 
the specification of transmitters which can 
be fitted (frequency, maximum power, aerial 
position, specific installation requirements), 
in line with the Vehicle Electromagnetic 
Compatibility Directive (2004/104/EC).
Declarations of conformity for radio 
equipment
The relevant certificates are available on the 
http://service.citroen.com/ACddb/ website.

2. ASSISTANCE
eCall (SOS)
Your vehicle may be fitted with the eCall (SOS) 
system either as standard or as an option.
The eCall (SOS) system provides direct access 
to the emergency services and is built directly 
into the vehicle.
According to the country of sale, the eCall
  (SOS) 
system
  corresponds to the systems PE112,

covered, damaged or covered by a sticker.
–
 
lane markings absent, worn, hidden (snow
 , 
mud) or multiple (roadworks).
–
 
close to the vehicle in front (lane markings 
not detected).
–
 
narrow or winding roads.
In certain driving conditions (poor road 
surface or strong winds), the system may 
give alerts independent of the driver's level of 
vigilance.
The following situations may interfere  with the operation of the system or 
prevent it from working:
–
 
lane markings absent, worn, hidden (snow
 , 
mud) or multiple (roadworks);
–
 
close to the vehicle ahead (lane markings 
not detected);
–
 
roads that are narrow
 , winding, etc.
Parking sensors
For more information, refer to the 
General recommendations on the use 
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
 
 
This system detects and signals the proximity of 
obstacles (e.g.
  pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) 
using sensors located in the bumper.
Rear parking sensors
► Engage reverse gear to start the  system 
(confirmed by an audible signal).
The system is switched off when reverse gear is 
disengaged.
Audible assistance 
 
The system signals the presence of obstacles 
which are both within the sensors’ detection zone 
and in the vehicle path defined by the direction of 
the steering wheel.
 
 
Depending on version, in the example shown, 
only the obstacles present in the shaded area 
will be signalled by the audible assistance.
The proximity information is given by an 
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of 
which increases as the vehicle approaches the 
obstacle.
When the distance between the vehicle and 
the obstacle becomes less than about thirty 
centimetres, the audible signal becomes 
continuous.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or 
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is 
located.
Adjusting the audible signalDepending on version, with 
CITROËN Connect Radio or 
CITROËN Connect Nav, pressing this button 
opens the window for adjusting the volume of 
the audible signal.

In the event of a breakdown
Referring to the relevant section, reinitialise 
certain equipment:
– 
Remote control key or electronic key 
(depending on version).
–
 
Electric windows.
–
 
Date and time.
–
 
Preset radio stations.
The Stop & Start system may not be operational during the trip following the 
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be available 
again after a continuous period with the 
vehicle immobilised, the duration of which 
depends on the exterior temperature and the 
state of charge of the battery (up to about 8 
hours).
Towing
Procedure for having your vehicle towed or for 
towing another vehicle using the towing eye.
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in the 
country where you are driving.
Check that the towing vehicle is heavier than 
the towed vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of the 
towed vehicle and must have a valid driving 
licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on 
the ground, always use an approved towbar; 
ropes and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When the vehicle is towed with its engine 
off, there is no longer braking and steering 
assistance.
A professional recovery service must 
be called in the following cases:
–
 
broken down on a motorway or main road;
– not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, 
unlock the steering, or release the parking 
brake;
–
 
not possible to tow a vehicle with an 
automatic gearbox, with the engine running;
–
 
towing with only two wheels on the ground;
–
 
four-wheel drive vehicle;
–
 
no approved towbar available.
Before towing the vehicle, it is essential 
to put the vehicle in free-wheeling mode.
For more information on  Free-wheeling, refer 
to the corresponding section.
Electric motor
An electric vehicle cannot under any 
circumstances be used to tow another 
vehicle.
However, it may be used, for example, to exit 
a rut.
