Driving
With Petrol engines, after a cold start,
pre-heating the catalytic converter can
cause noticeable engine vibrations when
stationary, with the engine running, for
anything up to 2 minutes (accelerated idle
speed).
If the engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition.
Wait a few seconds before operating the
starter motor again. If the engine does not
start after several attempts, do not keep
trying: you risk damaging the starter motor
and the engine.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
With the Keyless Entry and Start
► Place the remote control inside the vehicle, in
the recognition zone.
► Press the " START/STOP" button.
With a manual gearbox, the steering column
unlocks and the engine starts more or less
instantly.
With the EAT8 automatic gearbox, the engine
starts more or less instantly.
The warning lamp does not come on if the engine is already warm. In some
climatic conditions, it is advised to follow the
recommendations below:
–
In mild conditions, do not leave the engine
to warm up while stationary
, but move off
straight away and drive at moderate speed.
–
Depending on version, if the air
conditioning is activated and when the
exterior temperature exceeds 35°C, the idle
engine speed can accelerate up to 1,300
rpm depending on the air conditioning
requirements.
–
In wintry conditions, when the ignition is
switched on, the duration of lighting of the
preheating indicator lamp is extended. W
ait
until it goes off before starting the engine.
–
In very severe wintry
conditions
(temperature below -23°C),
to ensure correct operation and preserve
the lifespan of the vehicle's mechanical
components, engine and gearbox, leave the
engine running for 4 minutes before moving
off.
Never leave the engine running in an
enclosed area without adequate ventilation:
internal combustion engines emit toxic
exhaust gases, such as carbon monoxide.
Danger of poisoning and death!
With Petrol engines, after a cold start,
pre-heating the catalytic converter can
cause noticeable engine vibrations when
stationary, with the engine running, for
anything up to 2 minutes (accelerated idle
speed).
For Diesel vehicles, when the
temperature is below zero,
starting will only occur once the pre-heating
warning lamp goes off.
If this warning lamp comes on after pressing
the "START/STOP" button, keep the brake
or clutch pedal depressed until the warning
lamp goes off, without pressing the "START/
STOP" button again, until the engine starts
and is running.
The "Keyless Entry and Start" system remote control must be within the
recognition zone.
Never leave the vehicle with the engine
running and with the remote control on your
person.
If the remote control leaves the recognition
zone, a message is displayed.
Move the remote control into the zone in
order to be able to start the engine.
If one of the starting conditions is not
met, a message is displayed on the
instrument panel. In some circumstances, you

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.

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
