Glazed surfaces such as the rear screen 
or windscreen can become very hot in 
places.
Never put objects on these surfaces; never 
touch these surfaces - Risk of burns!
Do not throw remote control batteries 
away, as they contain metals that are 
harmful to the environment. Take them to an 
approved disposal point.
Temperature conditioning  (Electric)
This function allows you to programme the 
temperature in the passenger compartment to 
reach a pre-defined, non-modifiable temperature

Safety
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) / Dynamic stability control 
(DSC)
Anti-slip regulation (or traction control) optimises 
traction by using engine braking and by applying 
the brakes on the driving wheels to avoid one 
or more wheels spinning. It also enhances the 
vehicle's directional stability.
If there is a difference between the vehicle’s 
trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the 
dynamic stability control system automatically 
uses engine braking and the brakes on one or 
more wheels to return the vehicle to the desired 
path, within the limits of the laws of physics.
These systems are activated automatically every 
time the vehicle is started.
These systems are activated in the event of a problem with grip or trajectory 
(confirmed by this warning lamp flashing on the 
instrument panel).
Deactivation / Reactivation 
 
In exceptional conditions (moving a vehicle that 
is bogged down in mud, stuck in snow, on loose 
soil, etc.), it may prove useful to deactivate the  DSC/ASR systems, so that the wheels can move 
freely and regain grip.
However, it is recommended that the system be 
reactivated as soon as possible.
These systems are reactivated automatically 
every time the ignition is switched off, or from 31 
mph (50
  km/h).
At speeds below 31 mph (50   km/h), the systems 
can be reactivated manually.
Press this button or turn the thumbwheel 
to this position.
The indicator lamp in the button or thumbwheel 
comes on: the DSC/ASR systems no longer 
have an effect on engine operation.
To reactivate the system:
Press this button.  
Or
Turn the thumbwheel to this position. 
The indicator lamp in the button or thumbwheel 
goes off.
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.
ASR/DSC
These systems enhance safety during 
normal driving, but should not encourage 
the driver to take extra risks or drive at high 
speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain, snow, 
ice) that the risk of loss of grip increases. It 
is therefore important for your safety to keep 
these systems activated in all conditions, and 
particularly in difficult conditions.
Correct operation of these systems depends 
on compliance with the manufacturer's 
recommendations relating to the wheels 
(tyres and rims), braking and electronic 
components, as well as the assembly and 
repair procedures provided by CITROËN 
dealers.
In order to ensure that these systems remain 
effective in wintry conditions, the use of snow 
or all-season tyres is recommended. All four 
wheels must be fitted with tyres approved for 
your vehicle.
All tyre specifications are listed on the 
tyre/paint label. For more information 
on Identification markings , refer to the 
corresponding section.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the 
vehicle or trailer snaking.   

97
Safety
5Operation
The system is activated automatically when the 
ignition is switched on.
The electronic stability control system (ESC) 
must not have any faults.
The vehicle speed must be between 37 and 99 
mph (60 and 160  km/h).
If the system detects that the trailer is 
snaking, it applies the brakes to stabilise 
the trailer and reduces engine power, if 
necessary, to slow the vehicle (indicated by the 
flashing of this warning lamp on the instrument 
panel and the brake lamps coming on).
For information on weights and towed loads, 
refer to the Engine technical data and towed 
loads section or your vehicle’s registration 
certificate.
To ensure safe driving with a  Towing device, 
refer to the corresponding section.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp lights 
up on the instrument panel, accompanied 
by a message and an audible signal.
To continue towing a trailer, reduce speed and 
drive carefully!
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
The trailer stability control system  provides an extra safety feature under 
normal driving conditions, when following the 
recommendations for use of trailers and 
current legislation in force in your country. It 
must not encourage the driver to take extra 
risks, such as using a trailer in unsuitable 
conditions of operation (e.g.
  excessive load, 
exceeded nose weight, worn or under-inflated 
tyres, faulty braking system) or driving at 
excessive speed.
In certain cases, the system may not detect 
trailer snaking, particularly with a light trailer.
When driving on slippery or poor surfaces, the 
system may not be able to prevent sudden 
trailer snaking.
Advanced Grip Control
(Depending on version)
A special, patented traction control system, 
which improves driveability on snow, mud and 
sand.
This system, optimised for operation in a range 
of conditions, enables you to manoeuvre in most 
slippery conditions (encountered during normal 
passenger car use).
When combined with all-season Peak Mountain 
Snow Flake tyres, this system offers a 
compromise between safety, grip and driveability.
When combined with suitable tyres, this system 
offers a compromise between safety, grip and 
driveability.
The accelerator pedal should be pressed 
sufficiently to allow the system to harness the 
power of the engine. Operation at high engine 
speeds is completely normal.
A five-position selector knob allows you to 
choose the setting best suited to the driving 
conditions encountered.
An indicator lamp associated with each mode 
comes on, accompanied by the display of a 
message to confirm your choice.
Operating modes 
 
 
 
Standard (ESC)
This mode is calibrated for a low level of  wheel spin, based on the different levels 
of grip normally encountered on the road.
Whenever the ignition is switched off, the 
system automatically resets to this mode.   

132
Driving
Switching the vehicle off
Regardless of the current gearbox mode, mode 
P is immediately engaged automatically when 
the ignition is switched off.
However, in mode N, mode P will be engaged 
after a delay of 5 seconds (time to enable free-
wheeling mode).
Check that mode  P has been engaged and 
that the electric parking brake was applied 
automatically; if not, apply it manually.
The corresponding indicator lamps on the  gear selector and the electric parking 
brake control must be on, as well as the 
indicator
  lamps on the instrument panel.
Gearbox malfunction
This warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and 
the display of a message.
Visit a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Do not drive faster than 62
  mph (100   km/h), 
keeping to the speed limit.
Switching of the gearbox to back-up mode
Mode D locks in third gear.
The paddles on the steering wheel do not work 
and mode  M is no longer accessible.
You may feel a significant jolt on engaging 
reverse gear. This will not damage the gearbox.
Selector malfunction
Minor malfunction
This warning lamp comes on,  accompanied by the display of a message 
and an audible signal.
Drive carefully.
Visit a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
In some cases, the selector indicator lamps may 
no longer come on, but the gearbox state is still 
displayed on the instrument panel.
Major malfunction
This warning lamp comes on,  accompanied by the display of a 
message.
You must stop the vehicle.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and 
switch off the ignition.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Drive selector (Electric) 
 
The drive selector is a pulse selector with a 
regenerative braking function.
The drive selector provides traction control 
based on the driving style, the road profile and 
the vehicle load.
With regenerative braking activated, it also 
manages engine braking when the accelerator 
pedal is released.
P. Park
Button for parking the vehicle: the front 
wheels are locked (the button lights up to 
indicate that it is activated).
R. Reverse
To engage reverse gear, with your foot on the 
brake pedal.   

133
Driving
6N.Neutral
To move the vehicle with the ignition off and 
so allow it to free-wheel.
For more information on Free-wheeling, refer 
to the corresponding section.
D. Drive (automatic forward gear)
B. Brake (regenerative braking)
Regenerative braking (the button lights up to 
indicate its activation).
Information displayed on 
the instrument panel
When the ignition is switched on, the drive 
selector status is displayed on the instrument 
panel:
P : Park.
R : Reverse.
N : Neutral.
D : Drive (automatic forward gear).
B : Brake (regenerative braking activated).
Operation
► Move the selector by pressing it forwards 
( N or R) or rearwards (N or D) once or twice, 
passing the point of resistance if necessary.
For example, to change from
  P to   R (with your 
foot on the brake pedal), either push forwards 
twice without passing the point of resistance or 
push just once, passing the point of resistance.
Regenerative braking
With the Brake function and when 
decelerating
The Brake function emulates engine braking, 
slowing the vehicle with no need to depress the 
brake pedal. The vehicle slows more quickly 
when the driver releases the accelerator pedal.
The energy recovered when the accelerator 
pedal is released is then used to partially 
recharge the traction battery, thereby increasing 
the vehicle's driving range.
The resulting deceleration of the vehicle  does not cause the brake lamps to come 
on.
►
 
From mode 
 D/R, press button B to activate/
deactivate the function (the button lights up when 
the function is activated).
D/R on the instrument panel is replaced with  B.
The system status is not saved when the ignition 
is switched off.
In some situations (e.g. battery full, 
extreme temperatures), the amount of 
regenerative braking may be temporarily 
limited, resulting in less deceleration.
The driver must remain alert to traffic 
conditions and must always be ready to use 
the brake pedal.
With the brake pedal
When the brake pedal is depressed, the 
intelligent braking system automatically recovers 
some of the energy and uses it to recharge the 
traction battery.
This energy recovery also reduces use of the 
brake pads, thereby limiting their wear.
The driver may experience a different  sensation when depressing the brake 
pedal compared to a vehicle without 
regenerative braking.
Driving modes
Driving modes are selected using the following 
control:
 
 
 
 
1.Pressing the control activates  Eco mode. The 
indicator lamp comes on. (Petrol or Diesel)   

134
Driving
2.Pressing the control displays the modes on the 
instrument panel.
With an electric motor, when starting the vehicle, 
no mode can be selected until the READY 
indicator lamp is displayed.
When the message disappears, the selected 
mode is activated and remains indicated on the 
instrument panel (except  Normal
  mode).
Whenever the ignition is switched on, 
Normal
  driving mode is selected by default.
Normal
To restore the default settings.
Eco
To reduce energy consumption by reducing the 
performance of the heating and air conditioning, 
without deactivating them.
To reduce consumption of the traction battery's 
electrical energy by limiting engine torque.
Power (Electric)
Allows a fully laden vehicle (GVW) to obtain 
equivalent performance to that of an unladen 
vehicle in Normal mode.
All modes are displayed on the instrument panel, except for  Normal 
mode.
Coasting mode
Depending on version or engine, with an 
EAT8 gearbox and the gear selector in mode 
D, gradually releasing the accelerator pedal 
fully allows free-wheeling which can save fuel.
A drop in engine speed is normal (rev counter 
at idle, drop in engine noise).
Gear shift indicator
(Depending on engine)
This system is designed to reduce fuel 
consumption by recommending the most suitable 
gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and 
the vehicle's equipment, the system may 
recommend skipping one or more gears.
Gear engagement recommendations are 
not to be considered mandatory. Indeed, the 
configuration of the road, the traffic density and 
safety remain determining factors when choosing 
the best gear. Therefore, the driver remains 
responsible for deciding whether or not to follow 
the system’s advice.
The system cannot be deactivated.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is 
only active in manual operation.
The information appears on the  instrument panel, in the form of an “up” or 
“down” arrow and the recommended gear.
The system adapts the gear change  instructions according to the driving 
conditions (e.g.
  slope, load) and driving style 
(e.g.
  power demand, acceleration, braking).
The system never suggests:
–
 
engaging first gear;
–
 
engaging reverse gear
 .
Stop & Start (Petrol or 
Diesel)
The Stop & Start function puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during 
phases when the vehicle is stationary (e.g.
  red 
lights, traffic jams). The engine automatically 
restarts - START mode - as soon as the driver 
indicates the intention of moving off again.
Primarily designed for urban use, the function 
is intended to reduce fuel consumption and 
exhaust emissions as well as the noise level 
when stationary.
The function does not affect the functionalities of 
the vehicle, in particular the braking.
Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the bonnet, 
deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid 
any risk of injury caused by the engine 
restarting automatically.

Event data recorders
13Event data recorders
Electronic control units are installed in your 
vehicle. Control units process data which is 
received by vehicle sensors, for example, or 
which they generate themselves or exchange 
amongst themselves. Some control units are 
necessary for the safe functioning of your 
vehicle, others assist you while you drive (driver 
assistance systems), while others provide 
comfort or infotainment functions.
The following contains general information about 
data processing in the vehicle. You will find 
additional information as to which specific data is 
uploaded, stored and passed on to third parties 
and for what purpose in your vehicle under 
the key word Data Protection closely linked 
to the references for the affected functional 
characteristics in the relevant owner's manual 
or in the general terms of sale. These are also 
available online.
Vehicle operating data
The control units process the data used for the 
operation of the vehicle. 
This data includes, for example: 
– 
Information about the state of the vehicle 
(e.g.
  speed, travel time, lateral acceleration, 
wheel rotation rate, fastened seat belts display). 
–
 
Environmental conditions (e.g.
   temperature, 
rain sensor, distance sensor). 
As a general rule, this data is temporary, is 
not stored for longer than one operating cycle  and is only used within the vehicle itself. The 
control units often record this data (including the 
vehicle's key). This function allows either the 
temporary or permanent storage of information 
about the state of the vehicle, stresses on 
components, servicing requirements, as well as 
events and technical errors. 
Depending on the vehicle's equipment level, the 
data stored is as follows: 
–
 
Operating state of system components 
(e.g.
   filling level, tyre pressures, battery charge 
status). 
–  
Faults and malfunctions in important system 
components (e.g.
   lamps, brakes). 
–  
System reactions in specific driving situations 
(e.g.
   deployment of an airbag, triggering of 
stability control and braking systems). 
–  
Information about events which have 
damaged the vehicle. 
–
  
For electric and rechargeable hybrid vehicles, 
the traction battery charge level and the 
estimated driving range. 
In particular circumstances (e.g.
   if the vehicle 
has detected a malfunction), it may be necessary 
to record data which would otherwise simply not 
be stored. 
When taking your vehicle in for servicing 
(e.g.
  repairs, maintenance), the stored operating 
data may be read along with the vehicle's 
identification number and used if necessary. 
The personnel working for the servicing network 
(e.g.
  garages, manufacturers) or third parties 
(e.g.
  roadside assistance agents) may read the vehicle's data. This also applies to work 
carried out under warranty and quality assurance 
measures. 
This data is generally read via the OBD 
(On-Board Diagnostics) port fitted by law to 
the vehicle. It is used to report on the technical 
state of the vehicle or its components and 
facilitates the diagnosis of malfunctions, in 
compliance with warranty obligations and for 
quality improvement. This data, in particular the 
information relating to stress on components, 
technical events, operator errors and other 
malfunctions, is sent to the Manufacturer, if 
necessary, along with the vehicle's identification 
number. The Manufacturer's liability may also be 
engaged. The Manufacturer may also use the 
operating data taken from the vehicle for product 
recalls. This data may also be used to check the 
customer's warranty and any claims made under 
warranty. 
Any malfunctions stored in the vehicle may be 
reset by an after-sales service company during 
servicing or repair work, or at your request. 
Comfort and infotainment 
functions
Comfort settings and personalised settings 
may
  be saved in the vehicle and modified or 
reinitialised at any time. 
Depending on the vehicle's equipment level,
  this 
may
  include: 
–
 
Seat and steering wheel position settings.
