Driving
Intelligent emergency 
braking assistance (iEBA)
This function supplements braking in the event 
that the driver brakes, but not enough to avoid a 
collision.
This assistance will only be provided if the driver 
presses the brake pedal.
Active Safety Brake 
 
This function, also called automatic emergency 
braking, intervenes following the alerts if the 
driver does not react quickly enough and does 
not operate the vehicle's brakes.
The system aims to reduce the speed of impact 
or avoid a collision where the driver fails to react.
The speed will be reduced by a maximum of 16 mph (25   km/h) for 
versions with camera only, or by a maximum 
of 31 mph (50
  km/h) for versions with camera 
and radar.
Operation
The system operates subject to the following 
conditions:
–
 
At reduced speed in an urban environment, 
when a pedestrian is detected.
–
 
At reduced speed in an urban environment, 
when a stationary vehicle is detected.
–
 
The vehicle's speed is between 6 mph and 
53 mph (10
  km/h and 85   km/h) when a moving 
vehicle is detected.
This warning lamp flashes (for  approximately 10 seconds) as soon as 
the function applies the vehicle’s brakes.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event of 
automatic emergency braking bringing the 
vehicle to a complete stop, keep the brake pedal 
depressed to prevent the vehicle from moving 
off again.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic 
emergency braking bringing the vehicle to a 
complete stop, the engine may stall.
The driver can maintain control of the  vehicle at any time by firmly turning the 
steering wheel and/or firmly depressing the 
accelerator pedal.
The brake pedal may vibrate slightly  while the function is operating.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop, 
automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 2 
seconds.
Deactivation/Activation
By default, the system is automatically activated 
at every engine start.
The settings are changed via  the   Driving/Vehicle   touch screen 
menu.
Deactivation of the system is signalled by 
the illumination of this warning lamp, 
accompanied by the display of a message.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning 
lamp lights up on the instrument panel, 
accompanied by the display of a message and 
an audible signal.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
If these warning lamps come on 
after the engine has been switched 
off and then restarted, contact a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the

accompanied by the display of a message and 
an audible signal (short beep).
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Reversing camera 
 
For more information, refer to the 
General recommendations on the use 
of driving and manoeuvring aids .With the ignition on, this system uses a camera 
located near the third brake lamp to display 
a view of the rear of your vehicle on the 
reproduction screen (if it is a panel van or has a 
solid partition).
The reversing camera is activated automatically 
when reverse gear is engaged. The image 
is displayed on the reproduction screen. The 
reproduction screen switches off when the 
gearbox is in neutral or in a forward gear.
 
 
 
 
The blue lines  1 represent the general direction 
of the vehicle (the gap corresponds to the width 
of your vehicle with the mirrors).
The red line  2 represents a distance of about 
30
  cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear 
bumper.
The green lines  3 represent distances of about 1 
and 2 metres beyond the edge of your vehicle's 
rear bumper.
The turquoise blue curves  4 represent the 
maximum turning circle.
Some objects may not be seen by the 
camera.
Certain vehicles may be difficult to see 
(dark colours, lamps off) when the 
brightness of the screen is reduced using the 
vehicle’s lighting dimmer.
The image quality may be affected by the  surroundings, the exterior conditions 
(rain, dirt, dust), the driving mode and the 
lighting conditions (night, low sun).
In the presence of areas in shade, or in 
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate 
lighting, the image may be darkened and with 
lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than 
they actually are.
During parking manoeuvres and lane 
changes, it is important to check the sides of 
the vehicle using the mirrors.
The rear parking sensors also supplement the 
information on the vehicle's surroundings.

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.

Advice on care and maintenance
General recommendations
Observe the following recommendations to avoid 
damaging the vehicle.
Exterior
Never use a high-pressure jet wash in 
the engine compartment - risk of 
damaging the electrical components!
Do not wash the vehicle in bright sunshine or 
extremely cold conditions.
When washing the vehicle in an 
automatic roller-brush car wash, be sure 
to lock the doors and, depending on version, 
move the electronic key away.
When using a pressure washer, keep the jet 
nozzle at a minimum distance of 30 cm from 
the vehicle (particularly when cleaning areas 
containing chipped paint, sensors or seals).
Promptly clean up any stains containing 
chemicals liable to damage the vehicle's 
paintwork (including tree resin, bird 
droppings, insect secretions, pollen and tar).
Depending on the environment, clean the 
vehicle frequently to remove salty deposits 
(in coastal areas), soot (in industrial areas) 
and mud/salts (in wet or cold areas). These 
substances can be highly corrosive.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop for advice on removing stubborn 
stains requiring special products (such as tar 
or insect removers).
Preferably, have paint touch-ups performed 
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
