The information appears in the
instrument panel in the form of an
ar row.
With a
manual gearbox, the arrow may be
accompanied by the gear recommended.
This arrow may be pointing up or down,
depending on the context.
The system adapts its gear efficiency
recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the
driver's requirements (power, acceleration,
b r a k i n g , e t c .) .
The system never suggests:
-
e
ngaging first gear,
-
enga
ging reverse gear.
Stop & Start
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or
other, etc.). The engine restarts automatically –
START mode – as soon as you wish to move off
again.
Restarting occurs instantaneously, quickly and
silently.

If your vehicle is fitted with this system, a time
counter calculates the sum of the periods in
STOP mode during a
journey. It resets to zero
every time the ignition is switched on with the
"START/STOP" button. For your convenience, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available
for a
few seconds after coming out of
reverse gear.
The Stop & Start system does not modify
the vehicle's functions, such as, for
example, braking, power steering, etc.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition with
the "START/STOP" button.

The adaptive cruise control deactivates
automatically if the use of a "space-saver"
type spare wheel is detected or if there is
a
malfunction on the lateral brake lamps or
trailer brake lamps (for approved trailers).
The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
from working:
-
p
oor visibility (inadequate street
lighting, falling snow, heavy rain, dense
f o g , e t c .),
-
d

Active Safety Brake with
Collision Risk Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
The system allows:
- t he driver to be warned that their vehicle is
at risk of collision with the vehicle in front,
-
a c
ollision to be prevented, or its severity to
be limited, by reducing the vehicle's speed.
This system is a
driving aid that includes three
functions:
-
C
ollision Risk Alert (alert if there is a risk of
collision),
-
I
ntelligent emergency braking assistance,
-
A
ctive Safety Brake (automatic emergency
b r ak ing).

The driver can maintain control of the
vehicle at any time by sharply turning
the steering wheel and/or pressing the
accelerator pedal.
Operation of the function may be felt by
slight vibration in the brake pedal.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
the automatic braking is maintained for
1
to 2 seconds.
Malfunction
In the event of a fault with the
s ystem, you are alerted by the
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of
a
message and an audible signal.
Lane Departure Warning
System
Using a camera located at the top of the
w indscreen to identify lane markings on the
ground, the system corrects the trajectory of
the vehicle while alerting the driver if it detects
a
risk of involuntary crossing of a line.
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.
Conditions for operation
The speed of the vehicle must be between
40 mph and 112 mph (65 km/h and 180 km/h).
The driver must hold the steering wheel with
both hands.
The change of trajectory must not be
accompanied by operation of the direction
indicators.
The ESC system must be activated and fault-
free. This system is a
driving aid that cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the
driver's own vigilance. The driver must
remain in control of the vehicle under all
circumstances.
The system helps the driver only when
there is a risk of the vehicle involuntarily
wandering from the lane it is being driven
in. It does not manage the safe driving
distance, the speed of the vehicle or the
brakes.
The driver must hold the steering wheel
with both hands in a way that allows
control to be maintained in circumstances
where the system is not able to inter vene
(if lane markings disappear, for example).
It is necessary to obser ve the driving
regulations and take a break every two
hours.Operation
Once the system identifies a risk of the vehicle
i nvoluntarily crossing one of the lane markings
detected, it makes the correction to the
trajectory required to return the vehicle to its
initial path.
The driver will notice a
turning movement of the
steering wheel.
This warning lamp flashes during
trajectory correction.
Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
workshop to have the system checked.

Driving
204
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, CITROËN selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi engines)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the per formance or fuel
consumption of Diesel engines, CITROËN
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles
with a
system that associates SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) with a
Diesel particle filter
(DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR system
Using a fluid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85%
of nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.
The AdBlue
® is contained in
a
special tank holding about
17
litres.
Its capacity allows a
driving range of around
12,500
miles (20,000
km). An alert system is
triggered automatically once the reser ve level
is reached: you can then drive for a
further
1,500
miles (2,400
km) before the tank is
e m pt y. Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a system
required by regulations prevents starting
of the engine.
If the SCR system is defective, the level of
emissions from your vehicle will no longer
meet the Euro 6
standard: your vehicle
becomes polluting.
In the event of a
confirmed fault with the
SCR system, you must go to a
CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop as soon
as possible: after a
running distance of
685
miles (1,100
km), a system will be
triggered automatically to prevent engine
starting.
In either case, a range indicator gives you
the distance you can travel before the
vehicle is immobilised.
For more information on the Warning and
indicator lamps and associated alerts,
refer to the corresponding section.
Freezing of the AdBlue
®
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below
around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a
heater for the
AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to continue
driving in very cold conditions.
