Warning and indicator
lamps
Displayed as symbols, the warning and indicator
lamps inform the driver of the occurrence of a
malfunction (warning lamps) or of the operating
status of a system (operation or deactivation
indicator lamps). Certain lamps light up in two
ways (fixed or flashing) and/or in several colours.
Associated warnings
The illumination of a lamp may be accompanied
by an audible signal and/or a message displayed
in a screen.
Relating the type of alert to the operating status
of the vehicle allows you to determine whether
the situation is normal or whether a fault has
occurred: refer to the description of each lamp
for further information.
When the ignition is switched on
Certain red or orange warning lamps come on
for a few seconds when the ignition is switched
on. These warning lamps should go off as soon
as the engine is started.
For more information on a system or a function,
refer to the corresponding section.

and indicator lamp description indicate whether
you should contact a qualified professional in
addition to the immediate recommended actions.

Definitions
Odometer
(km)
The total distance the vehicle has driven.
Trip meter A/B
(km)
The distance travelled in short trips or between
fuel stops.
Trips "A" and "B" are independent and are used
identically.
Average Fuel Economy (AFE)
(km/L)
The average fuel consumption calculated based
on the last trip.
Distance To Empty (DTE)
(km)
The distance which can still be travelled with the
fuel remaining in the tank (based on the current
driving conditions).
This value may vary following a change in
the style of driving or the terrain, resulting
in a significant change in the current fuel
consumption.
If dashes instead of figures continue to be
displayed when driving, contact a CITROËN
dealer.

Driving
6Only engage reverse gear when the
vehicle is stationary with the engine at
idle.
As a safety precaution and to facilitate starting the engine:
–

Always select neutral.
–


Press the clutch pedal.
Gear efficiency indicator
This system helps reduce fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
The system advises to change gear.The information appears in the instrument panel in the form of an ascending or
descending arrow.
The number displayed is the current gear.
Gear shift recommendations should not be
considered compulsory. In fact, the road layout,
the traffic density and safety remain the deciding
factors when choosing the best gear. The driver
therefore remains responsible for deciding
whether or not to follow the indications issued by
the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
The system adapts its gear shift recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the driver’s
requirements (power, acceleration, braking,
etc.).
The system never suggests:
–

engaging first gear;
–


engaging reverse.
Overspeed alert
An audible overspeed alert is triggered when the
vehicle exceeds predefined speed thresholds.
When the vehicle speed is greater than 80 km/h,
the alert is emitted every 2 minutes.
When the vehicle speed is greater than 120
km/h, the alert is emitted every 2 seconds.
This system cannot be modified nor deactivated.
Parking sensors

Using sensors located in the bumper, this
system signals the proximity of obstacles
(e.g.
pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) present in
their field of detection.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear.
The system is switched off when disengaging
reverse gear.
Audible assistance

The system signals the presence of obstacles
within the sensors’ detection zone.
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
When the distance between the vehicle
and the obstacle becomes less than about
60
centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
Operating limits
If the boot is heavily loaded, the vehicle may tilt,
affecting distance measurements.

caution when using any device that may take
your focus off the road.
Your primary responsibility is the safe
operation of your vehicle.
We recommend against the use of any hand-
held device while driving and encourage

–

Pairing the smartphone with the system in
Bluetooth® mode.
–
Connection to the Apple CarPlay® or
Android Auto applications.
–

Using the smartphone.
– Changing the system settings and
configuration.
Some functions are not accessible when
driving.
Overheating
In very hot conditions, operation may be
limited to protect the system (e.g. volume may
be reduced). A warning message is displayed
on the screen.
The system will resume normal operation
when the temperature in the passenger
compartment has dropped.
The system is protected in such a way that it will only operate in the vehicle.
