During the manoeuvre
The system takes over the vehicle's steering. It
gives instructions on the manoeuvring direction
when starting the entry and exit parallel parking
manoeuvres and for all entry manoeuvres for
bay parking."Reverse "
" Advance "
There instructions are displayed as a symbol
accompanied by a message:
The manoeuvring status is indicated by these
symbols:
5 mph or 7 km/h, for parking space
e nt r y. Manoeuvre in progress (green).
Manoeuvre cancelled or finished
(red) (the arrows indicate that the
driver must take back control of their
vehicle).
The maximum speed limit indications during
the manoeuvres are signalled by these
symbols: During a manoeuvre the steering wheel
rotates rapidly: do not hold the steering
wheel nor place your hand between the
spokes of the steering wheel. Watch out
for anything likely to block the manoeuvre
(loose and bulky clothing, scar ves, ties,
etc.) – Risks of injury!
It is the driver's responsibility to monitor
the state of the traffic continuously,
especially vehicles coming towards you.
The driver should check that no object
or person can hinder the advance of the
vehicle.
The images from the camera(s) displayed
on the touch screen may be distorted by
the relief.
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and
be of lower contrast.
The manoeuvre can be interrupted definitively
at any time, either by the action of the driver or
automatically by the system. By the action of the driver:

Tyre pressures should be checked when
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1 hour or after a journey of less than
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to the
pressures shown on the label.

The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on a simple visual check. F

I
f you have a compressor (such as the
one in the temporary puncture repair kit),
check the pressures of the four tyres when
cold. If it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
or
F
I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).
The warning remains active until the
system is reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressures of one or more
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels. Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use
of the vehicle and conform to the
recommendations on the tyre pressure
label.
The under-inflation alert can only be relied
on if the reinitialisation of the system has
been done with the pressures in the four
tyres correctly adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
Reinitialisation of the system is done via the
touch screen, with the ignition on and the
vehicle stationary .
F I n the Driving/Vehicle menu,
select the " Driving functions "
tab, then " Reset under-
inflation detection ".

Fuel tank
Tank capacity:
- Pe trol: approximately 50 litres.
-

D
iesel: approximately 45 or 50 litres
(depending on version).
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have the tank
drained and refilled with the correct
fuel before you star t the engine.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached,
this warning lamp in the instrument
panel comes on, accompanied by
an audible warning, a message and
the last bar of the fuel gauge flashes
in red.
When it first comes on, about 5 litres of fuel
remain in the tank.
Until sufficient fuel has been added, this
warning lamp appears every time the ignition
is switched on, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message. This audible warning
and message are repeated with increasing
frequency as the fuel level drops towards " 0".
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out. For more information on Running out of
fuel (Diesel)
, refer to the corresponding
section.
Refilling
A label on the inside of the fuel filler flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to use,
depending on your engine type.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres, 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:
F

Y
ou must switch off the engine. F

W
ith the vehicle unlocked, press the rear-
central part of the filler flap.
F
T

Practical information

138
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start,
never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
using the key, or the START/STOP button
if your vehicle has
K
eyless Entry and
Starting.
Fuel cut- of f
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a
collision.
Misfuel prevention
(Diesel)
(Depending on the country of sale.)
Mechanical device which prevents filling the
tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It helps
avoid the risk of engine damage that can result
from filling with the wrong fuel.
Operation
It remains possible to use a fuel can to fill
the tank.
In order to ensure a good flow of fuel,
do not place the nozzle of the fuel can in
direct contact with the flap of the misfuel
prevention device and pour slowly. Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may make
refuelling impossible.
Not all Diesel vehicles are fitted with
misfuel protection, so before travelling
abroad, we recommend that you check
with the CITROËN dealer network whether
your vehicle is suitable for the fuel pumps
in the country in which you intend to travel.
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
Diesel tank, it comes into contact with the flap.
The system remains closed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.
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.
Take account of the legislation in force in
your country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed.

Roof bars
For safety reasons and to avoid damaging
the roof, it is essential to use the
transverse bars approved for your vehicle.
Obser ve the fitting instructions and the
conditions of use in the guide supplied
with the roof bars.
Version without longitudinal
bars
To install the roof bars, you must secure them
only to the four fixing points in the roof frame.
These points are masked by the vehicle's doors
when closed.
The roof bar fixings include a lug to be fitted
into the hole at each fixing point.
Version with longitudinal
bars
You must fit the transverse bars to the
longitudinal bars at the fixing points indicated
by engraved markings on the longitudinal bars.

The Diesel fuel system operates under
very high pressure.
All work on this circuit must be carried out
only by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with
the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them
up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The fluid must comply with the
manufacturer's recommendations and with
the vehicle's engine. Take care when working under the bonnet,
as certain areas of the engine may be
extremely hot (risk of burns) and the
cooling fan could start at any time (even
with the ignition off).
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health
or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop and dispose of
it in the containers reser ved for this
purpose.
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles equipped with an
electric gauge, or using the dipstick.
Practical information

145
To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a level sur face
with the engine stopped for more than
30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two ser vices (or oil changes). CITROËN
recommends that you check the level, and top
up, if necessary, every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
Checking using the dipstick
