Driving
6Snow 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 may not  always cause visible deformation 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 all four tyres when cold.
►
 
If it is not possible to carry out 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).
Driving too slowly may not ensure 
optimum monitoring.
The alert is not immediately triggered in the 
event of a sudden loss of pressure or tyre 
blow-out. This is because analysis of the 
values read by the wheel's speed sensors 
can take several minutes.
The alert may be delayed at speeds below 
25 mph (40 km/h), or when adopting a sporty 
driving mode.
The alert is kept active until the system is  reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
► The system must be reinitialised after any 
adjustment to the pressure of one or more tyres, 
and after changing one or more wheels.
Before reinitialising the system, make 
sure that the pressures of the four tyres 
are correct for the conditions of use of the 
vehicle and conform to the values written on 
the tyre pressure label.
Check the pressures of the four tyres before 
performing the reinitialisation.
The system does not advise if a pressure is 
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
Without touch screen 
 
 
 
► With the vehicle stationary , press this 
button for about 3 seconds then release it. 
Reinitialisation is confirmed by an audible signal.
With touch screen
With the vehicle stationary, the 
system is reinitialised via the 
Driving/Vehicle touch screen menu.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, 
these warning lamps light up on 
the instrument panel.
In this case, the tyre under-inflation monitoring 
function is no longer performed.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Non-standard spare wheel
The use of this type of spare wheel may 
suspend tyre pressure monitoring.
In this case, the malfunction warning lamp 
comes on and disappears once the wheel 
has been replaced by one of uniform size (the

Driving
6In certain extreme weather conditions 
(rain and/or snow, bright sunshine, etc.), 
the head-up display may not be legible or 
may suffer temporary interference.
Some sunglasses may hamper reading of the 
information.
To clean the projection blade, use a clean, 
soft cloth (such as a spectacles cloth or 
microfibre cloth). Do not use a dry or abrasive 
cloth, or detergent or solvent products, due to 
the risk of scratching the projection blade or 
damaging the non-reflective coating.
This system operates when the engine is  running, and the settings are saved when 
the ignition is switched off.
Driving and manoeuvring 
aids - General 
recommendations
Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in 
any circumstances, replace the need for 
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must comply with the Highway 
Code, must remain in control of the vehicle in 
all circumstances and must be able to retake 
control of it at all times. The driver must adapt 
the speed to climatic conditions, traffic and 
the state of the road.
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly 
monitor traffic conditions, assess the distance 
and relative speed of other vehicles, and 
anticipate their manoeuvres before using the 
direction indicator and changing lanes.
These systems do not make it possible to 
exceed the laws of physics.
Driving aids
You should hold the steering wheel with 
both hands, always use the door and interior 
mirrors, always leave your feet close to the 
pedals and take a break every 2 hours.
Manoeuvring aids
The driver must always check the 
surroundings of the vehicle before and during 
the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the 
mirrors.
Radar(s)
The operation of the radar(s), along with 
any associated functions, may be affected 
by the accumulation of dirt (e.g.
  mud, ice), 
in poor weather conditions (e.g.
  heavy rain, 
snow), or if the bumpers are damaged.
If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact 
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop; 
certain types of paint could interfere with the 
operation of the radar(s).
 
 
Driving aids camera
This camera and its associated functions 
may be impaired or not work if the windscreen 
area in front of the camera is dirty, misty, 
frosty, covered with snow, damaged or 
masked by a sticker.
In humid and cold weather, demist the 
windscreen regularly.
Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting, 
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle 
(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun, 
reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel, 
alternating shade and light) can also impair 
detection performance.
In the event of a windscreen replacement, 
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop to recalibrate the camera; 
otherwise, the operation of the associated 
driving aids may be disrupted.
Other cameras
The images from the camera(s) 
displayed on the touch screen or on the 
instrument panel may be distorted by the 
terrain.

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 (e.g.   pure or diluted vegetable or animal 
oils, domestic fuel) is strictly prohibited - risk 
of damaging 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 lights up on the 
instrument panel, accompanied by the display of 
a message and an audible signal. When it first 
comes on, about 6 litres of fuel remain.
Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp 
appears every time the ignition is switched on, 
accompanied by the message and the 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.
A small arrow by the warning lamp  indicates which side of the vehicle the 
fuel filler flap is located on.
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 Start.
►
 
Open the fuel filler flap.

Practical information
Load reduction mode
This system manages the use of certain 
functions according to the level of charge 
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load 
reduction function temporarily deactivates certain 
functions, such as the air conditioning and the 
heated rear screen.
The deactivated functions are reactivated 
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve 
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle 
when braking.
Snow chains must be fitted only to the 
front wheels. They must never be fitted to 
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Observe the legislation in force in your 
country relating to the use of snow 
chains and maximum authorised speeds.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the 
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size 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.
Installation tips 
► To fit the snow chains during a journey, stop 
the vehicle on a flat surface at the side of the 
road.
►
 
Apply the parking brake and position any 
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent 
movement of the vehicle.
►
 
Fit the snow 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 the vehicle and check that the snow 
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that you 
practise fitting the snow chains on a level 
and dry surface before setting off.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads  that have been cleared of snow to avoid 
damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road 
surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy 
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its 
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.

Practical information
Passenger compartment 
filter
Depending on the environment and the 
use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere, 
city driving), change it twice as often, if 
necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment filter 
can adversely affect air conditioning 
system performance and generate 
undesirable odours.
Air filter
Depending on the environment and the 
use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere, 
city driving), change it twice as often, if 
necessary .
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the engine 
oil is changed.
Particle filter (Diesel)
 / The start of clogging of the 
particle filter is indicated by the 
temporary lighting of this warning lamp, 
accompanied by an alert message.
As soon as traffic conditions allow, regenerate 
the filter by driving at a speed of at least 37
  mph 
(60
 
km/h), with an engine speed above 2,500 
rpm, for about 15 minutes (until the warning lamp 
goes out).
If it is not possible to reach 37 mph (60 km/h), 
leave the engine running at idle for about 15 
minutes, then drive with an engine speed
  above 
2,500 rpm for 15 minutes.
Do not switch off the engine until the filter 
is fully regenerated; repeated intervals 
can degrade the engine oil prematurely.
Regenerating the filter while the vehicle is 
stationary is not recommended.
If the warning lamp stays on, this 
indicates a low Diesel additive level.
For more information on  Checking levels, 
refer to the corresponding section.
Following prolonged operation of the 
vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you 
may, in exceptional circumstances, notice 
water vapour coming from the exhaust while 
accelerating. These emissions have no 
impact on the vehicle’s behaviour and the 
environment.
New vehicle
During the first few particle filter 
regeneration operations, you may notice a 
"burning" smell. This is perfectly normal.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any  maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Drive selector
The drive selector does not require any maintenance.
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style of 
driving, particularly in the case of vehicles 
used in town, over short distances. It may be 
necessary to have the condition of the brakes 
checked, even between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the 
brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads 
are worn.
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in  wintry conditions, ice can form on the 
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may 
be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and 
defrost them.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake disc 
wear, contact a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.

Fitting a steel spare wheel
If the vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, the 
washers A do not make contact with the steel 
spare wheel. The wheel is held in place by 
the conical contact surface  B of each bolt.
After changing a wheel
Stow the punctured wheel in the carrier.
With a non-standard spare wheel
Deactivate certain driving aid functions 
(Active Safety Brake, Adaptive cruise control, 
etc.).
Do not exceed the maximum authorised 
speed of 50 mph (80
  km/h) or the maximum 
distance of 50 miles (80 km).
Driving with more than one spare wheel of 
this type is prohibited.
The wheel trim from the replaced wheel must 
not be refitted.
Visit a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Have the tightening of the spare wheel's bolts 
and its tyre pressure checked.
Have the punctured tyre examined. After 
inspection, the technician will advise you on 
whether the tyre can be repaired or if it must 
be replaced.
Wheel with wheel trim
When refitting the wheel, refit the wheel 
trim, starting by aligning the cutout with the 
valve and then pushing the trim into place all 
round its edge with the palm of your hand.
Tyre inflation pressures are indicated on  this label.
For more information on  Identification 
markings, particularly this label, refer to the 
corresponding section.
Changing a bulb
In some weather conditions (e.g. low 
temperature or humidity), misting on the 
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps 
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear 
after the lamps have been on for a few 
minutes.
The headlamps have polycarbonate  lenses with a protective coating:
–
 
Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive 
cloth, nor with detergent or solvent 
products.
–
 
Use a sponge and soapy water or a pH 
neutral product.
–
 
When using a high-pressure washer on 
persistent marks, do not keep the lance 
directed towards the headlamps, lamps or 
their edges for too long, so as not to damage 
their protective coating and seals.
Changing a bulb must only be done with 
the ignition off and after the headlamp / 
lamp has been switched off for several 
minutes - risk of serious burns!
Do not touch the bulb directly with your 
fingers; use a lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet 
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the 
headlamp.
