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)
152
Driving
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Memorising speeds
This function, used only for the speed limiter
and programmable cruise control, lets you
save speed settings that will subsequently be
proposed for the purpose of configuring these
two systems.
You can memorise multiple speed settings for
each of the two systems.
By default, some speed settings are already
memorised.
As a safety measure, the driver must only change speed settings when stationary.
Changing a speed setting
Speed settings can be activated,
deactivated, selected and changed in the
Driving
/ Vehicle touch screen menu.
"MEM" button
With this button, you can select a memorised
speed setting to use with the speed limiter or the
programmable cruise control.
For more information on the Speed limiter or
Programmable cruise control, refer to the
corresponding section.
Active Safety Brake with Collision Risk Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
This system:
–
warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the vehicle in front.
–
reduces the vehicle's speed to avoid a
collision or limit its severity
.
The system also takes motorcyclists and animals into account; however, animals
below 0.5
m tall and objects on the road are
not necessarily detected.
This system is comprised of three functions:
– Collision Risk Alert.
– Intelligent emergency braking assistance
(iEBA).
–
Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency
braking).
The vehicle has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen.
This system does not replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system is designed to assist the driver
and improve road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to continuously
monitor traffic conditions in accordance with
applicable driving regulations.
As soon as the system detects a potential obstacle, it prepares the braking
circuit in case automatic braking is needed.
This may cause a slight noise and a slight
sensation of deceleration.
154
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
system checked.
These warning lamps light up on the instrument panel to indicate
that the driver's and/or front passenger's seat
belt is not fastened (depending on version). The
163
Driving
6bicycle carrier is connected to a towing device
installed in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations.
In this case, the outline of a trailer is displayed
at the rear of the image of the vehicle.
The parking sensors are deactivated while the
Park Assist function is measuring a space.
For more information on the Park
Assist
function, refer to the corresponding
section.
Operating limits
If the boot is heavily loaded, the vehicle may tilt,
affecting distance measurements.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction when
changing into reverse gear, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel,
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.
