Technical data - Maintenance
Overview


Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions.
Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without waiting. During acceleration change up early.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, give preference to automatic mode and avoid pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
The gear shift indicator invites you engage the most suitable gear: as soon as the indication is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it straight away.
For vehicles fitted with an electronic or automatic gearbox, this indicator appears only in manual mode.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather than the brake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. These practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions and also helps reduce the background traffic noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well.
Control the use of your electrical equipment
Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it by opening the windows and air vents before using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows and leave the air vents open. Remember to make use of equipment that can help keep the temperature in the passenger compartment down (sunroof and window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic regulation, as soon as the desired temperature is attained.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.
Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps when the level of light does not require their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off, particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.
As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, video game...), you will contribute towards limiting the consumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before leaving the vehicle.
Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
- before a long journey,
- at each change of season,
- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of operations recommended in the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle becomes polluting; go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop without delay to have the emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to the legal level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any overflow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to a consistent average.

Engine oil level indicator*

On versions fitted with an electric oil level indicator, the state of the engine oil level is displayed in the instrument panel for a few seconds, at the same time as the servicing information.

The level read will only be correct if the vehicle is on level ground and the engine has been off for more than 30 minutes.


Oil level correct


Oil level incorrect
This is indicated by the flashing of "OIL" or the display of a message, accompanied by the service warning lamp and an audible signal. If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using the dipstick, the level must be topped up to avoid damage to the engine. Refer to the "Checking levels" section.


Oil level indicator fault
This is signalled by the flashing of "OIL--" or the display of a message.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault with the electric indicator, the oil level is no longer monitored.
If the system is faulty, you must check the engine oil level using the manual dipstick located under the bonnet.
Refer to the "Checking levels" section.
Service indicator

System that informs the driver when the next service is due, in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule. The point at which the service is due is calculated from the last service indicator zero reset, according to the distance covered and the time elapsed since the last service. For BlueHDi Diesel versions, the level of deterioration of the engine oil may also be taken into account, depending on the country of sale.
More than 1800 miles (3000 km) remain before the next service is due
When the ignition is switched on, no service information appears in the instrument panel central screen.
Between 600 miles (1 000 km) and 1800 miles (3 000 km) remain before the next service is due
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched on, the spanner symbolising the service operations comes on. The distance recorder display line or a specific message in the instrument panel central screen indicates the distance remaining before the next service is due. For example: 1 700 miles (2 800 km) remain before the next service is due. For a few seconds after the ignition is switched on, the screen indicates:


A few seconds after the ignition is switched on, the spanner goes off; the distance recorder resumes its normal operation. The screen then indicates the total and trip distances.


Less than 600 miles (1 000 km) remain before the next service is due
Example: 560 miles (900 km) remain before the next service is due. For a few seconds after the ignition is switched on, the screen indicates:


A few seconds after the ignition is switched on, the distance recorder resumes its normal operation. The spanner remains on to indicate that a service must be carried out soon.

Service overdue
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched on, the spanner flashes to indicate that the service must be carried out as soon as possible.
Example: the service is overdue by 180 miles (300 km).
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched on, the screen indicates:


A few seconds after the ignition is switched on, the distance recorder resumes its normal operation. The spanner remains on.

For BlueHDi Diesel versions, this alert is also accompanied by the fixed illumination of the Service warning lamp when the ignition is switched on.

The spanner comes on if you have exceeded the specified time interval since the last service, as indicated in the manufacturer's service schedule. For BlueHDi Diesel versions, the spanner may also come on before the normal service point, according to the level of deterioration of the engine oil, which depends on the driving conditions in which the vehicle is used.

Service indicator zero reset
After each service, the service indicator must be reset to zero.
If you have carried out the service on your vehicle yourself:
switch off the ignition,
press and hold the ".../000" trip distance recorder zero reset button.

A few definitions...

Range
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
which can still be travelled with the fuel remaining in the tank in relation to the average fuel consumption over the last few miles (kilometres) travelled.

This value may vary following a change in the style of driving or the relief, resulting in a significant change in the current fuel consumption.
When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km), dashes are displayed. After filling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).

If dashes are displayed continuously while driving in place of the digits, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel consumption during the last few seconds.

This function is only displayed from 20 mph (30 km/h).

Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel consumption since the last trip computer zero reset.

The fuel consumption of your vehicle will be higher than the official figures obtained by CITROËN during the first 3 000 miles (5 000 km) of the vehicle's life.

Average speed
(mph or km/h)
This is the average speed calculated since the last trip computer zero reset (ignition on).

Distance travelled
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
travelled since the last trip computer zero reset.

Stop & Start time counter
(minutes / seconds or hours / minutes)
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start, a time counter calculates the time spent in STOP mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is switched on.

Comfort



Ventilation
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger compartment is filtered and originates either from the outside via the grille located at the base of the windscreen or from the inside in air recirculation mode.
Air treatment
The incoming air follows various routes depending on the controls selected by the driver:
- direct arrival in the passenger compartment (air intake),
- passage through a heating circuit (heating),
- passage through a cooling circuit (air conditioning).
Control panel
The controls of this system are grouped together on control panel A on the centre console.

Air distribution
- Windscreen demisting-defrosting vents.
- Front side window demisting-defrosting vents.
-
Side adjustable air vents.
-
Central adjustable air vents.
- Air outlets to the front footwells.
- Air nozzles to the front footwells.
- Air outlets to the rear footwells.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines below:
To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well as the air extractor located in the boot.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation of the air conditioning system.
Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep it in perfect working order.
Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly.
We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have it checked regularly as recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.
If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the air conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems only work when the engine is running. To maintain a comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment, you can temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start system (see the corresponding section).

If after an extended stop in sunshine, the interior temperature is very high, first ventilate the passenger compartment for a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high enough to quickly change the air in the passenger compartment.
The air conditioning system does not contain chlorine and does not present any danger to the ozone layer.

The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water under the vehicle which is perfectly normal.

- a first indicator lamp comes on; the "light" setting mode is selected,
- a second indicator lamp comes on; the "medium" setting mode is selected,
- a third indicator lamp comes on; the "intense" mode setting is selected.

When the engine is cold, the air flow will reach its optimum level progressively, taking account of the weather and the desired comfort level so as to avoid too great a distribution of cold air.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior temperature is much colder or warmer than the comfort value, there is no need to change the value displayed in order to obtain the comfort required. The system corrects the difference in temperature automatically and as quickly as possible.
2. Driver's side adjustment 4. Automatic visibility programme
3. Passenger's side adjustment

The driver and front passenger can each adjust the temperature to their requirements.
The value indicated on the display corresponds to a level of comfort and not to a temperature in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Turn control 2 or 3 to the left or to the right respectively to decrease or increase this value.
A setting around the value 21 provides optimum comfort. However, depending on your requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is normal.

Child safety



General points relating to child seats
Although one of CITROËN main criteria when designing your vehicle, the safety of your children also depends on you.
For maximum safety, please observe the following recommendations:
- in accordance with European regulations, all children under the age of 12 or less than one and a half metres tall must travel in approved child seats suited to their weight, on seats fitted with a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings*,
- statistically, the safest seats in your vehicle for carrying children are the rear seats,
- a child weighing less than 9 kg must travel in the rearward facing position both in the front and in the rear.
CITROËN recommends that children should travel on the rear seats of your vehicle:
- rearward facing up to the age of 3,
- forward facing over the age of 3.
Child seat in the front*
Rearward facing Forward facing

When a rearward facing child seat is installed on the front passenger seat, adjust the seat to the intermediate longitudinal and highest position, with the backrest straightened. The passenger's front airbag must be deactivated. Otherwise, the child risks being seriously injured or killed if the airbag were to inflate.
When a forward facing child seat is installed on the front passenger seat, adjust the vehicle's seat to the intermediate longitudinal and highest position with seat backrest straightened and leave the passenger's front airbag activated.

Passenger seat adjusted to the intermediate longitudinal and highest position.
Ensure that the seat belt is correctly tensioned. For child seats with a support leg, ensure that the support leg is in stable contact with the floor. If necessary, adjust the passenger seat.
* Refer to the current legislation in your country before installing a child seat on this seat.
Deactivating the passenger's front airbag

Never install a rearward facing child restraint system on a seat protected by an active front airbag. This could cause the death of the child or serious injury.
The warning label present on both sides of the passenger's sun visor repeats this advice. In line with current legislation, the following tables contain this warning in all of the languages required.

Passenger airbag OFF


For information on deactivating the passenger's front airbag, refer to the "Airbags" section.

Advice on child seats


The incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises the child's protection in the event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt buckle under the child seat, as this could destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the child seat harnesses keeping the slack relative to the child's body to a minimum, even for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened correctly on the child seat and that it secures the child seat firmly on the seat of your vehicle. If your passenger seat is adjustable, move it forwards if necessary.
At rear seating positions, always leave sufficient space between the front seat and:
- a rearward facing child seat,
- the child's feet for a child seat fitted forward facing.
To do this, move the front seat forwards and, if necessary, move its backrest into the upright position.
For optimum installation of the forward facing child seat, ensure that the back of the child seat is as close as possible to the backrest of the vehicle's seat, in contact if possible.
You mst remove the head restraint before installing a child seat with backrest to a passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or attached securely to prevent it from being thrown around the vehicle in the event of sharp braking. Refit the head restraint when the child seat is removed.
Children at the front
The legislation on carrying children on the front passenger seat is specific to each country. Refer to the legislation in force in your country.
Deactivate the passenger airbag when a rearward facing child seat is installed on the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being seriously injured or killed if the airbag were to inflate.
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be positioned on the child's shoulder without touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt passes correctly over the child's thighs.
CITROËN recommends the use of a booster seat which has a back, fitted with a seat belt guide at shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- a child or children alone and unsupervised in a vehicle,
- a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with the windows closed,
- the keys within reach of children inside the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the doors and rear windows, use the child lock.
Take care not to open the rear windows by more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays of the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
Manual child lock
Mechanical system to prevent opening of the rear door using its interior control.
The control, red in colour, is located on the edge of each rear door. It is identified by a symbol marked on the bodywork.

Locking
Using the ignition key or the integral key, depending on version, turn the red control as far as it will go:
- to the left on the left-hand rear door,
- to the right on the right-hand rear door.
Unlocking
Using the ignition key or the integral key, depending on version, turn the red control as far as it will go:
- to the right on the left-hand rear door.
- to the left on the right-hand rear door.


Do not confuse the child lock control, which is red, with the back-up locking control, which is black.

Hazard warning lamps

A visual warning by means of the direction indicators to alert other road users to a vehicle breakdown, towing or accident.
Press this button, the direction indicators flash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
Automatic operation of hazard warning lamps
When braking in an emergency, depending on the deceleration, the hazard warning lamps come on automatically.
They switch off automatically the first time you accelerate.
You can also switch them off by pressing the button.
Horn

Audible warning system to alert other road users to an imminent danger.
Press the central part of the multifunction steering wheel.

Use the horn moderately and only in situations allowed by the motoring regulations in the country you are driving in.
Emergency or assistance call

This system allows you to make an emergency or assistance call to the emergency services or to the dedicated CITROËN service.
For more information on the use of this function, refer to the "Audio and telematics" section.
Braking assistance systems
Group of supplementary systems which help you to obtain optimum braking in complete safety in emergency situations:
- anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
- emergency braking assistance (EBA).
Anti-lock braking system and electronic brake force distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking, in particular on poor or slippery surfaces.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically when there is a risk of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibration of the brake pedal.

When braking in an emergency, press very firmly without releasing the pressure.
Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen, it
indicates a malfunction of the anti-lock braking system which could result in loss of control of the vehicle when braking.

If this warning lamp comes on, together with the STOP and ABS warning lamps, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the screen, it indicates a malfunction of the electronic brake force distribution which could result in loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In either case, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

When replacing wheels (tyres and rims), ensure that they conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Trajectory control systems
Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you to obtain the optimum braking pressure more quickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an increase in braking efficiency.

When braking in an emergency, press firmly without releasing the pressure.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and dynamic stability control (DSC)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as traction control) optimises traction to prevent skidding of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability control acts on the brake of one or more wheels and on the engine to keep the vehicle on the trajectory required by the driver, within the limits of the laws of physics.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip or trajectory problem.

This is indicated by flashing of this warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Intelligent traction control system ("Snow motion")
Depending on version, your vehicle has a system to help driving on snow: intelligent traction control.
This system detects situations of difficult surface adhesion that could make it difficult to move off or make progress on deep fresh snow or compacted snow.
In these situations, the intelligent traction control limits the amount of wheel slip to provide the best traction and trajectory control for your vehicle.

The use of snow tyres is strongly recommended on surfaces offering low levels of adhesion.

Deactivation
In extremely severe conditions (deep snow, mud, ...), if you are unable to move off, it may be useful to temporarily deactivate these systems so that the wheels can spin freely and allow the vehicle to move.
Press this button, located near the steering wheel.
If the indicator lamp in the button comes on, this indicates that these systems are deactivated.
It is recommended that the systems be reactivated as soon as possible.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automatically each time the ignition is switched back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h).
Press this button again to reactivate them manually.
Operating fault

The illumination of the indicator lamps in the instrument panel and in this button, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen, indicates a fault with these systems.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

The trajectory control systems offer increased safety in normal driving, but this should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed. The correct functioning of these systems is assured provided that manufacturer's recommendations are observed on:
- wheels (tyres and rims),
- braking components,
- electronic components,
- assembly and repair procedures.
After an impact, have these systems checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Seat belts
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a pretensioning and force limiting system. This system improves safety in the front seats in the event of a front or side impact. Depending on the severity of the impact, the pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat belts against the body of the occupants. The pretensioning seat belts are active when the ignition is on. The force limiter reduces the pressure of the seat belt on the chest of the occupant, so improving their protection.
Fastening
Pull the strap, then insert the tongue in the buckle.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly by pulling the strap.
Unfastening
Press the red button on the buckle.
Guide the seat belt as it reels in.

Height adjustment
To lower the attachment point, squeeze the control A and slide it downwards.
To raise the attachment point, slide the control A upwards.
Seat belt not fastened / unfastened warning lamp in the instrument panel

When the ignition is switched on, this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel if the driver and/or the front passenger has not fastened their seat belt.
From approximately 12 mph (20 km/h) this warning lamp flashes for two minutes accompanied by an audible signal of increasing volume. Once these two minutes have elapsed, this warning lamp remains on until the driver and/or the front passenger fastens their seat belt.
Safety


Rear seat belts

Seat belt not fastened / unfastened warning lamps display
- Driver's seat belt not fastened / unfastened warning lamp.
- Front passenger's seat belt not fastened / unfastened warning lamp.
The corresponding warning lamp 1 or 2 comes on in red on the seat belt and passenger's front airbag warning lamps display, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen, if the seat belt is not fastened or is unfastened.

The rear seats are each fitted with a three-point seat belt, with force limiter and, for the outer seats, an effort limiter.
Fastening
Pull the strap, then insert the tongue in the buckle.
√ Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly by pulling the strap.
Unfastening
Press the red button on the buckle.
Guide the seat belt as it reels in.
On the outer seat belts, raise the bar to the top of the backrest to prevent the tongue from knocking against the side trim.

Seat belt unfastened warning lamp in the instrument panel

This warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel when one or more rear passengers unfasten their seat belt.
From approximately 12 mph (20 km/h), this warning lamp flashes for two minutes accompanied by an audible signal of increasing volume. Once these two minutes have elapsed, this warning lamp remains on until the one or more rear passengers fasten their seat belt.
Seat belt unfastened warning lamps display
- Right hand rear seat belt warning lamp.
- Centre rear seat belt warning lamp.
- Left hand rear seat belt warning lamp.
When the ignition is switched on, with the engine running or when the vehicle is moving at less than 12 mph (20 km/h), the corresponding warning lamps 3, 4 and 5 come on in red for approximately 30 seconds, if the seat belt is not fastened.
When the vehicle is moving at more than 12 mph (20 km/h), the corresponding warning lamps 3, 4 and 5 come on in red, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen, if a rear passenger has unfastened their seat belt.

The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly and that they are all restrained securely before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle, always fasten your seat belt, even for short journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as they will not fulfil their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel permitting automatic adjustment of the length of the strap to your size. The seat belt is stowed automatically when not in use. Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be positioned as low as possible on the pelvis. The upper part must be positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fitted with an automatic locking device which comes into operation in the event of a collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release the device by pulling the strap firmly and then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
- be tightened as close to the body as possible,
- be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, checking that it does not twist,
- be used to restrain only one person,
- not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
- not be converted or modified to avoid affecting its performance.
In accordance with current safety regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle's seat belts, go to a qualified workshop with the skills and equipment needed, which a CITROËN dealer is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop, particularly if the straps show signs of damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or a textile cleaning product, sold by CITROËN dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned and reeled in correctly.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is less than 12 years old or shorter than one and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap. For more information, refer to the "Child seats" section.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impact, the pretensioning device may be deployed before and independently of the airbags. Deployment of the pretensioners is accompanied by a slight discharge of harmless smoke and a noise, due to the activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the system. In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat belts system checked, and if necessary replaced, by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Airbags
System designed to contribute towards improving the safety of the occupants (with the exception of the rear centre passenger) in the event of violent collisions. The airbags supplement the action of the force-limiting seat belts (with the exception of the centre rear passenger).
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors record and analyse the front and side impacts sustained in the impact detection zones:
- in the case of a serious impact, the airbags are deployed instantly and contribute towards better protection of the occupants of the vehicle (with the exception of the rear centre passenger); immediately after the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly so that they do not hinder visibility or the exit of the occupants,
- in the case of a minor or rear impact or in certain roll-over conditions, the airbags may not be deployed; the seat belt alone contributes towards ensuring your protection in these situations.

Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
Deployment of one or more of the airbags is accompanied by a slight emission of smoke and a noise, due to the activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the system. This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive individuals may experience slight irritation. The noise of detonation related to the deployment of one or more airbags may result in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
The airbags do not operate when the ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once. If a second impact occurs (during the same or a subsequent accident), the airbag will not be deployed again.
Safety


Front airbags

System which protects the driver and front passenger in the event of a serious front impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the head and thorax.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the passenger's front airbag if it is deactivated, in the event of a serious front impact to all or part of the front impact zone A, in the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the front to the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the thorax and head of the front occupant of the vehicle and the steering wheel, driver's side, and the dashboard, passenger's side to cushion their forward movement.

Deactivation
Only the passenger's front airbag can be deactivated:
27 insert the key in the passenger airbag deactivation switch,
turn it to the "OFF" position,
then, remove the key keeping the switch in the new position.

According to version, this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel and/or in the seat belt and passenger's front airbag warning lamps display when the ignition is on and until the airbag is reactivated.

To assure the safety of your child, the passenger's front airbag must be deactivated when you install a rearward facing child seat on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being seriously injured or killed if the airbag were deployed.
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn the switch to the "ON" position to reactivate the airbag and so assure the safety of your front passenger in the event of an impact.

With the ignition on, this warning lamp comes on in the seat belt and passenger's front airbag warning lamps display for approximately one minute, if the passenger's front airbag is activated.


Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked. The airbags may no longer be deployed in the event of a serious impact.
Lateral airbags

System which protects the driver and front passenger in the event of a serious side impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the chest, between the hip and the shoulder. Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest frame, door side.
Deployment
A lateral airbag is deployed unilaterally in the event of a serious side impact applied to all or part of the side impact zone B, perpendicular to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the outside towards the inside of the vehicle. The lateral airbag inflates between the hip and shoulder of the front occupant of the vehicle and the corresponding door trim panel.

Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
Curtain airbags
System which contributes towards improving the protection of the driver and passengers (with the exception of the rear centre passenger) in the event of a serious side impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the side of the head.
Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and the upper passenger compartment area.
Deployment
The curtain airbag is deployed at the same time as the corresponding lateral airbag in the event of a serious side impact applied to all or part of the side impact zone B, perpendicular to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the outside towards the inside of the vehicle.
The curtain airbag inflates between the front or rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows.
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the occupants and the airbags (a child, pet, object...). This could hamper the operation of the airbags or injure the occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen or broken into, have the airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns to the head, chest or arms when an airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. The bag inflates almost instantly (within a few milliseconds) then deflates within the same time discharging the hot gas via openings provided for this purpose.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags can cause burns or the risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.
Do not fit or attach anything to the steering wheel or dashboard, this could cause injuries with deployment of the airbags.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats, compatible with the deployment the lateral airbags. For information on the range of seat covers suitable for your vehicle, you can contact a CITROËN dealer.
Refer to the "Accessories" section.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat backs (clothing...). This could cause injury to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This could cause injury to the head if the curtain airbag is deployed.
If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof, they play a part in securing the curtain airbags.
185 Safety


Driving



A few driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations at all times and remain vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your hands on the wheel so that you are ready to react at any time to any eventuality.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate the need to brake and increase the distance from other vehicles.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded roads, as this could cause serious damage to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the electrical systems of your vehicle.
If you are obliged to drive through water:

- check that the depth of water does not exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that might be generated by other users,
- deactivate the Stop & Start system,
- drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10 km/h),
- do not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as circumstances allow, make several light brake applications to dry the brake discs and pads. If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied - Risk of overheating and damage to the braking system! Do not park or run the engine when stationary in areas where inflammable substances and materials (dry grass, dead leaves...) might come into contact with the hot exhaust system - Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised with the engine running. If you have to leave your vehicle with the engine running, apply the parking brake and put the gearbox into neutral or position N or P, depending on the type of gearbox.
Starting-switching off the engine with the key Ignition switch


Ignition on position
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric equipment or portable devices to be charged. Once the state of charge of the battery drops to the reserve level, the system switches to energy economy mode: the power supply is cut off automatically to preserve the remaining battery charge.

Avoid attaching heavy objects to the key, which would weigh down on its blade in the ignition switch and could cause a malfunction.

Switching off the engine leads to a loss of braking assistance.
It has 3 positions:
- position 1 (Stop): insert and removing the key,
- position 2 (Ignition on): steering column unlocked, ignition on, Diesel preheating, engine running,
- position 3 (Starting).
Starting the engine
With the parking brake applied and the gearbox in neutral or position N or P:
depress the clutch pedal fully (manual gearbox), or
press the brake pedal firmly (electronic or automatic gearbox),
insert the key into the ignition switch; the system recognises the code,
* unlock the steering column by simultaneously turning the steering and the key.

In certain cases, you may have to apply more force to the steering (wheels on full lock, for example).
With a petrol engine, operate the starter motor by turning the key to position 3 without pressing the accelerator pedal, until the engine starts. Once the engine is running, release the key.
With a Diesel engine, turn the key to position 2, ignition on, to operate the engine pre-heating system.

Wait until this warning lamp goes off in the instrument panel then operate the starter motor by turning the key to position 3 without pressing the accelerator pedal, until the engine starts. Once the engine is running, release the key.

In wintry conditions, the warning lamp can stay on for a longer period. When the engine is hot, the warning lamp does not come on.

If the engine does not start straight away, switch off the ignition. Wait a few moments 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 or the engine. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

In temperate conditions, do not leave the engine at idle to warm up but move off straight away and drive at moderate speed.

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 intoxication and death. In very severe wintry conditions (temperatures below -23°C ), to ensure the correct operation and durability of the mechanical components of your vehicle, engine and gearbox, it is necessary to leave the engine running for 4 minutes before moving off.
Switching off the engine
Stop the vehicle.
With the engine running at idle, turn the key to position 1.
Remove the key from the ignition switch.
To lock the steering column, turn the steering until it locks.

To facilitate unlocking of the steering column, it is recommended that the wheels be returned to the straight ahead position before switching off the engine.
Check that the parking brake is correctly applied, particularly on sloping ground.

Never switch off the ignition before the vehicle is at a complete stop. With the engine off, the braking and steering assistance systems are also cut off: risk of loss of control of the vehicle.

When you leave the vehicle, keep the key with you and lock the vehicle.
Energy economy mode
After switching off the engine (position 1-Stop), for a maximum of 30 minutes you can still use functions such as the audio and telematic system, the wipers, dipped beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, ...

For more information, refer to the "Practical information" section, under "Energy economy mode".

Key left in the "Ignition on" position
If the key has been left in the ignition switch at position 2 (Ignition on), the ignition will be switched off automatically after one hour. To switch the ignition back on, turn the key to position 1 (Stop), then back to position 2 (Ignition on).
Starting-switching off the engine with the "Keyless Entry and Starting" system

Press and hold the "START/ STOP" button for about 3 seconds if you want to force switching off the engine (note that restarting will not be possible without the key).
Ignition on position (without starting)
With the Keyless Entry and Starting key inside the vehicle, pressing the "START/STOP" button, with no action on the pedals, allows the ignition to be switched on.

Press the "START/STOP" button, the instrument panel comes on but the engine does not start.
Press the button again to switch off the ignition and so allow the vehicle to be locked.

With the ignition on, the system automatically goes into energy economy mode when required to maintain the state of charge of the battery.
Anti-theft protection Electronic engine immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic chip which has a special code. When the ignition is switched on, this code must be recognised for engine starting to be authorised.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks the engine management system a few minutes after the ignition is switched off and prevents starting of the engine by anyone who does not have the key.
SERVICE
In the event of a fault, you are informed by illumination of this warning lamp, an audible signal and/or the display of a message, depending on version.
In this case, your vehicle will not start; contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.

Keep safely, away from your vehicle, the label attached to the keys given to you on acquisition of the vehicle.
Driving


Electric parking brake

The electric parking brake has two operating modes:
- Automatic Application/Release
Application is automatic when the engine stops, release is automatic on use of the accelerator (activated by default),
- Manual Application/Release
The parking brake can be applied / released manually by pulling control lever A.
Programming the mode
Depending on the country of sale of the vehicle, the automatic application when the engine is switched off and the automatic release when you press the accelerator can be deactivated.

Activation / deactivation is done using the vehicle configuration menu; refer to the section covering the configuration of your vehicle's systems.
The parking brake is then applied and released manually. When the driver's door is opened, there is an audible signal and a message is displayed if the brake is not applied.

It is recommended that you do not apply the parking brake in very cold conditions (ice) and during towing (breakdown, caravan...). Deactivate the automatic functions and release the parking brake manually.

Do not place any object (packet of cigarettes, telephone...) between the gear lever and the electric parking brake control lever.

If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, the automatic mode is deactivated.
Manual application
With the vehicle stationary, to apply the parking brake whether the engine is running or off, pull control lever A.
The application of the parking brake is confirmed by:

- illumination of the braking warning lamp and of the P warning lamp in the control lever A,
- display of the message "Parking brake on".

When the driver's door is opened with the engine running, a message is displayed accompanied by an audible signal if the parking brake has not been applied, except in the case of an automatic gearbox with the gear lever in position P.

Before leaving the vehicle, ensure that parking brake warning lamp in the instrument panel is on fixed, not flashing.
Manual release
With the ignition on or the engine running, to release the parking brake, press on the brake pedal or the accelerator, pull then release control A.
The full application of the parking brake is confirmed by:

- the braking warning lamp and the P warning lamp in the control lever A going off,
- display of the message "Parking brake off".


If you pull control lever A without pressing the brake pedal, the parking brake will not be released and a warning lamp will come on in the instrument panel.
Maximum application
If necessary, you can make a maximum application of the parking brake. This is obtained by means of a long pull on the control lever A, until you see the message "Parking brake on maximum" and a beep is heard. Maximum application is essential:
- in the case of a vehicle towing a caravan or a trailer, if the automatic functions are activated but you are applying the parking brake manually,
- when the gradient you are parked on may vary (e.g. on a ferry, on a lorry, during towing),

In the case of towing, a loaded vehicle or parking on a gradient, make a maximum application of the parking brake then turn the front wheels towards the pavement and engage a gear when you park. After a maximum application, the release time will be longer.
Automatic application, engine off

With the vehicle stationary, the parking brake is automatically applied when the engine is switched off.
The application of the parking brake is confirmed by:

- illumination of the braking warning lamp and of the P warning lamp in the control lever A,
- display of the message "Parking brake on".

Before leaving the vehicle, ensure that parking brake warning lamp in the instrument panel is on fixed (not flashing).
Never leave a child alone inside the vehicle with the ignition on, as they could release the parking brake.
In the case of towing, a loaded vehicle or parking on a gradient, turn the front wheels towards the pavement and engage a gear when you park.
Automatic release
The electric parking brake releases automatically and progressively when you press the accelerator:
Manual gearbox: press down fully on the clutch pedal, engage first gear or reverse, press on the accelerator pedal and move off.
Electronic gearbox: select position A, M or R then press on the accelerator pedal.
Automatic gearbox: select position D, M or R then press the accelerator pedal.
Full release of the parking brake is confirmed by:

- the braking warning lamp and the P warning lamp in the control lever A going off,

- display of the message "Parking brake off".

When stationary, with the engine running, do not press the accelerator pedal unnecessarily, as you may release the parking brake.
Immobilising the vehicle, engine running
With the engine running and the vehicle stationary, in order to immobilise the vehicle it is essential to manually apply the parking brake by pulling control lever A.
The application of the parking brake is confirmed by:

- illumination of the braking warning lamp and the P warning lamp in the control lever A,
- display of the message "Parking brake on".

When the driver's door is opened, a message is displayed accompanied by an audible signal, if the parking brake has not been applied, except in the case of an automatic gearbox with the gear lever in position P.
Particular situations
In certain situations (e.g. starting the engine), the parking brake can automatically alter its force. This is normal operation. To advance your vehicle a few centimetres without starting the engine, but with the ignition on, press on the brake pedal and release the parking brake by pulling then releasing the control lever A. The full release of the parking brake is confirmed by the warning lamps in the control lever A and in the instrument panel going off and display of the message "Parking brake off".
Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main service brake or in an exceptional situation (e.g. driver taken ill, under instruction, etc) a continuous pull on the control lever A will stop the vehicle. The electronic stability control provides stability during emergency braking. If the emergency braking malfunctions, the message "Parking brake faulty" will be displayed.

In the event of failure of the electronic stability control system, signalled by the illumination of this warning lamp, braking stability is then not guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured by the driver by repeating alternate "pull-release" actions on the control lever A.

Before leaving the vehicle, ensure that parking brake warning lamp in the instrument panel is on fixed, not flashing.

The emergency braking must only be used in exceptional circumstances.
Operating faults
If the electric parking brake malfunction warning lamp comes on together with one or more of the warning lamps presented in these tables, place the vehicle in a safe condition (on level ground, gear engaged) and contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop without delay.

If the engine speed is too low or too high, the gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then the actual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change from position D (automatic) to position M (manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1 automatically.
The sport and snow programmes do not operate in manual mode.
Operating fault
Invalid value during manual operation

This symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly (selector between two positions).
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can engage position P or N to place the gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle, unless it is programmed to automatic mode.
When the ignition is on, the lighting of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the multifunction screen, indicates a gearbox malfunction. In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel a substantial knock when changing from P to R and from N to R. This will not cause any damage to the gearbox. Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed restrictions permitting. Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. This warning lamp may also come on if a door is opened.

If the lever is not in position P, when the driver's door is opened or approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switched off, there is an audible signal and a message appears.
Return the lever to position P; the audible signal stops and the message disappears.

You risk damaging the gearbox:
- if you press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time
- if you force the lever from position P to another position when the battery is flat.

To reduce fuel consumption when stationary for long periods with the engine running (traffic jam...), position the gear lever at N and apply the parking brake, unless it is programmed in automatic mode.
Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when starting on a gradient, the time it takes to move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
This function is only active when:
- the vehicle is completely stationary, with your foot on the brake pedal,
- when certain conditions of gradient are met,
- with the driver's door closed.
The hill start assist function cannot be deactivated.

Do not leave the vehicle while it is being held in the hill start assist phase. If you need to leave the vehicle while the engine is running, apply the parking brake manually then ensure that the parking brake warning lamp is on (not flashing) in the instrument panel.
Operation

On an ascending slope, with the vehicle stationary, the vehicle is held for a brief moment when you release the brake pedal:
- if you are in first gear or neutral with a manual gearbox,
- if you are in position A or M with an electronic gearbox,
- if you are in position D or M with an automatic gearbox.
On a descending slope, with the vehicle stationary and reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held for a brief moment when you release the brake pedal.
Operating fault


SERVICE
If a fault occurs with the system, these warning lamps come on. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.
Gear shift indicator*
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your vehicle's equipment, the system may advise you to skip one (or more) gear(s). You can follow this instruction without engaging the intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations must not be considered compulsory. In fact, the configuration of the road, the amount of traffic and safety remain determining factors when choosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver remains responsible for deciding whether or not to follow the advice given by the system. This function cannot be deactivated.
With an electronic or automatic gearbox, the system is only active in manual mode.
On BlueHDi Diesel 150 versions with manual gearbox, the system may suggest changing into neutral so that the engine can go into standby (STOP mode with Stop & Start), in certain driving conditions. In this case, N is displayed in the instrument panel.
The information appears in the instrument panel in the form of an arrow.
On vehicle fitted with a manual gearbox, the arrow may be accompanied by the gear recommended.

The system adapts its gear change recommendation according to the driving conditions (slope, load, ...) and the demands of the driver (power, acceleration, braking, ...).
The system never suggests:
- engaging first gear,
- engaging reverse gear,
Example:
- You are in third gear.
- You press the accelerator pedal.
- The system may suggest that you engage a higher gear.

Tyre under-inflation detection

System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of each tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop in pressure is detected in one or more tyres.
This system does not avoid the need to check the tyre pressures regularly (including the spare wheel) and before a long journey. Driving with under-inflated tyres adversely affects road holding, extends braking distances and causes premature tyre wear, particularly under arduous conditions (vehicle loaded, high speed, long journey).
Driving with under-inflated tyres increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure label (see the "Identification markings" section).
The tyre pressures must be checked when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or after driving for less then 6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the values indicated on the label.
The tyre under-inflation detection system is an aid to driving which does not replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Under-inflation alert

The alert is given by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal, and depending on equipment, the display of a message.

In the event of a problem on one of the tyres, the symbol or the message appears, according to equipment, to identify it.
- Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering movements or harsh brake applications.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
If you have a compressor (the one in the temporary puncture repair kit for example), check the four tyre pressures when cold.
If it is not possible to check the tyre pressures at the time, drive carefully at reduced speed.
or
In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel (according to equipment).
The alert is maintained until the tyre or tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or a steel rim) does not have a sensor.
The loss of pressure detected does not always lead to visible deformation of the tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.
Operating fault

The flashing and then fixed illumination of the under-inflation warning lamp accompanied by the illumination of the service warning lamp indicates a fault with the system.

This alert is also displayed when one or more wheels is not fitted with a sensor (for example, a space-saver or steel spare wheel).
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is not assured.
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked or, following the repair of a puncture, to have the original wheel, equipped with a sensor, refitted.
Any tyre repair or replacement on a wheel fitted with this system must be carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. If after changing a tyre, a wheel is not detected by your vehicle (fitting snow tyres for example), you must have the system reinitialised by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Driving


Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently. Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
ECO
The "ECO" warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel and the engine goes into standby automatically:
- with a manual gearbox, at speeds below 12 mph (20 km/h), or vehicle stationary with PureTech 130 petrol and BlueHDi 115 and 120 Diesel versions, when you put the gear lever into neutral and release the clutch pedal,
- with an electronic gearbox, at a speed below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press the brake pedal or place the gear lever in position N.
- with an automatic gearbox, vehicle stationary, when you press the brake pedal or place the gear lever in position N.

If your vehicle is fitted with the system, a time counter calculates the sum of the periods in STOP mode during a journey. It resets itself to zero every time the ignition is switched on with the key or the "START/STOP" button.

With an electronic gearbox, for your comfort during parking manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available for a few seconds after coming out of reverse gear. STOP mode does not affect the functionality of the vehicle, such as braking, power steering, for example.

Never refuel with the engine in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition with the key or the "START/STOP" button.
Special cases: STOP mode unavailable
STOP mode is not invoked when:
- the vehicle is on a steep slope (up or down),
- the driver's door is open,
- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,
- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph (10 km/h) since the last engine start (using the key or the "START/STOP" button),
- the electric parking brake is applied or being applied,
- the engine is needed to maintain a comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment,
- demisting is active,
- some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance, ambient temperature...) where the engine is needed to assure control of a system.
ECO In this case, the "ECO" warning lamp flashes for a few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Going into engine START mode

The "ECO" warning lamp goes off and the engine starts automatically:
- with a manual gearbox, when you fully depress the clutch pedal,
-
with an electronic gearbox:
-
gear lever in position A or M, when you release the brake pedal,
- or gear lever in position N and the brake pedal released, when you place the gear lever in position A or M,
• or when you engage reverse gear.
- with an automatic gearbox:
- gear lever in position D or M, when you release the brake pedal,
- or gear lever in position N and brake pedal released, when you place the gear lever in position D or M,
- or when you engage reverse gear.
Special cases: START invoked automatically
For safety reasons or to ensure smooth operation, START mode is invoked automatically when:
- you open the driver's door,
- you unfasten the driver's seat belt,
- the speed of the vehicle exceeds 15 mph (25 km/h) with a manual gearbox (3 km/h (2 mph) with PureTech 130 petrol and BlueHDi Diesel 115 and 120 versions), 7 mph (11 km/h) with an electronic gearbox or 2 mph (3 km/h) with an automatic gearbox,
- the electric parking brake is being applied,
- some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance, ambient temperature...) where the engine is needed to assure control of a system.
ECO
In this case the "ECO" warning lamp flashes for few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.

With a manual gearbox in STOP mode, if a gear is engaged without fully depressing the clutch pedal, a warning lamp comes on or an alert message is displayed asking you to depress the clutch pedal to restart the engine.
Deactivation

At any time, press the "ECO OFF" switch to deactivate the system.
This is confirmed by the switch warning lamp coming on accompanied by the display of a message.

If the system has been deactivated in STOP mode, the engine restarts immediately.
Reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed by the switch warning lamp going off and the display of a message.

The system is reactivated automatically at every new start using the key or the "START/STOP" button.
Operating fault Maintenance

In the event of a malfunction with the system, the "ECO OFF" switch warning lamp flashes, then comes on continuously. have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the vehicle may stall. All of the instrument panel warning lamps come on. Depending on version, an alert message may also be displayed asking you to put the gear lever into position N and put your foot on the brake pedal. It is then necessary to switch off the ignition, then restart the engine using the key or the "START/STOP" button.
Before doing anything under the bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of START mode.
This system requires a specific battery with a special specification and technology (reference numbers available from a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN introduces the risk of malfunction of the system.

The Stop & Start system makes use of advanced technology. All work on this type of battery must be done only by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Lane departure warning system

System which detects the involuntary crossing of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the ground (solid or broken line).
Sensors, fitted below the front bumper, trigger a warning if the vehicle drifts over a lane marking (speed higher than 50 mph (80 km/h)).
This system is particularly useful on motorways and main roads.

The lane departure warning system cannot in any circumstances replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
It is necessary to observe driving regulations and take a break every two hours.
Activation
Press this button, the indicator lamp comes on.
Deactivation
Press this button again, the indicator lamp goes off.
The status of the system remains in the memory when the ignition is switched off.
Detection
You are warned by the vibration of the driver's seat cushion:
- on the right-hand side, if the marking on the ground has been crossed on the right,
- on the left-hand side, if the marking on the ground has been crossed on the left.
No warning is transmitted while the direction indicator is active and for approximately 20 seconds after the direction indicator is switched off.
A warning may be transmitted if a direction marking (e.g. arrow) or non-standard marking (e.g. graffiti) is crossed.
Operating fault
SERVICE
In the event of a malfunction, the service warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

The detection may be impeded:
- if the sensors are dirty (mud, snow...),
- if the markings on the ground are worn.
- if there is little contrast between the markings on the ground and the road surface.
Blind spot sensors

This driving assistance system warns the driver of the presence of another vehicle in the blind spot angle of their vehicle (areas masked from the driver's field of vision), as soon as this presents a potential danger.

A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on the side in question:
- immediately, when being overtaken,
- after a delay of about one second, when overtaking a vehicle slowly.
Operation

On switching on the ignition, or engine running, press this button to activate the function; the warning lamp comes on. Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers monitor the blind spots.
This system is designed to improve safety when driving and is in no circumstances a substitute for the use of the interior rear view mirror and door mirrors. It is the driver's responsibility to constantly check the traffic, to assess the distances and relative speeds of other vehicles and to predict their movements before deciding whether to change lane. The blind spot sensor system can never replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Driving


The alert is given by a warning lamp which comes on in the door mirror on the side in question as soon as a vehicle - car, lorry, cycle - is detected and the following conditions are fulfilled:
- all the vehicles must be moving in the same direction,
- the speed of your vehicle is between 7 and 75 mph (12 and 140 km/h),
- when you overtake a vehicle with a speed difference of less than 6 mph (10 km/h),
- when a vehicle overtakes you with a speed difference of less than 15 mph (25 km/h),
- the traffic must be flowing normally,
- in the case of an overtaking manoeuvre, if this is prolonged and the vehicle being overtaken remains in the blind spot,
- you are driving on a straight or slightly curved road,
- your vehicle is not pulling a trailer, a caravan...

No alert will be given in the following situations:
- in the presence of immobile objects (parked vehicles, barriers, street lamps, road signs...),
- with vehicles moving in the opposite direction,
- driving on a sinuous road or a sharp corner,

- when overtaking (or being overtaken by) a very long vehicle (lorry, coach...) which is at the same time detected at the rear in the blind spot angle and present in the driver's forward field of vision,
- in very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in front and behind are confused with a lorry or a stationary object,
- when overtaking quickly.

To deactivate the system, press this button again; the warning lamp goes off.
The state of the system remains in memory on switching off the ignition.

The system is automatically deactivated when towing with a towbar approved by CITROËN.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault, the warning lamp in the button flashes then goes off. Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

The system may suffer temporary interference in certain weather conditions (rain, hail...). In particular, driving on a wet surface or moving from a dry area to a wet area can cause false alerts (for example, the presence of a fog of water droplets in the blind spot angle is interpreted as a vehicle). In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the sensors are not covered by mud, ice or snow. Take care not to cover the warning zone in the door mirrors or the detection zones on the front and rear bumpers with adhesive labels or other objects; they may hamper the correct operation of the system.
Memorising speeds
This function allows speed settings to be registered which will then be offered as settings for two systems: the speed limiter (a maximum speed) and the cruise control (cruising speed).
You can memorise up to six speed settings in the system. By default, some speed settings are already memorised.
Access

Press the "MEM" button to display the list of speed settings memorised.
Selection
To select a memorised speed setting:
press and hold the "+" or "-" button; the system stops at the nearest memorised speed setting,

Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the speed limiter mode is deselected. It disappears from the screen.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the speed limiter, the speed is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.


On a steep descent or in the event of sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will not be able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,
- do not fit one mat on top of another.
Cruise control
System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.
Operation
The cruise control is switched on manually: it requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and engagement of:
- fourth gear on the manual gearbox,
- second gear on the electronic or automatic gearbox, in manual driving mode,
- position A on the electronic gearbox or D on an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off manually or by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on triggering of the trajectory control systems, for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal. To return to the programmed speed, simply release the accelerator pedal.

Exiting cruise control mode
Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the cruise control mode is deselected. It disappears from the screen.





Operating fault
In the event of a cruise control malfunction, the speed is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

When the cruise control is switched on, be careful if you maintain the pressure on one of the programmed speed changing buttons: this may result in a very rapid change in the speed of your vehicle.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery roads or in heavy traffic.
On a steep descent, the cruise control will not be able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed.
On steep climbs or when towing, the programmed speed may not be reached or maintained.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,
- never fit one mat on top of another.
Parking sensors
This system indicates the proximity of an obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) which comes within the field of detection of sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks cone, etc.) detected initially will no longer be detected at the end of the manoeuvre due to the presence of blind spots.


This function cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the vigilance of the driver.
Rear parking sensors

The system is switched on by engaging reverse gear. This is accompanied by an audible signal. The system is switched off when you come out of reverse gear.
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle. The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is located. When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle becomes less than approximately thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes continuous.

Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal by displaying bars in the multifunction screen which move progressively nearer to the vehicle. When the obstacle is near, the "Danger" symbol is displayed in the screen.
Front parking sensors Operating fault
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front parking sensors are triggered when an obstacle is detected in front and the speed of the vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h). The front parking sensors are interrupted if the vehicle stops for more than three seconds in forward gear, if no further obstacles are detected or when the speed of the vehicle exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).

The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) indicates whether the obstacle is in front or behind.
Deactivation/Activation of the front and rear parking sensors

The function is deactivated by pressing this button. The indicator lamp in the button comes on. Pressing this button again reactivates the function. The indicator lamp in the button goes off.

The function will be deactivated automatically if a trailer is being towed or a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by CITROËN).
SERVICE
In the event of a malfunction of the system, when reverse gear is engaged this warning lamp is displayed in the instrument panel and/or a message appears in the screen, accompanied by an audible signal (short beep). Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the sensors are not covered with mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is engaged, an audible signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors may be dirty. Certain sound sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger the audible signals of the parking sensor system.

Fuel tank
Capacity of the tank: approximately 60 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level in the tank is reached, this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible warning
and the display of an alert message. When it first comes on, around 6 litres of fuel remain in the tank.
Until sufficient fuel has been added, every time the ignition is switched on, this warning lamp appears, accompanied by an audible signal and an alert message. When driving, this audible signal and the display of this alert message are repeated with increasing frequency, as the level drops towards 0. You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer to the corresponding section.
Refuelling
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to be registered by the fuel gauge. Opening the filler cap may result in an inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely normal and results from the sealing of the fuel system.

With Stop & Start, never refuel with the system in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition with the key, or the START/STOP button if your vehicle has Keyless Entry and Starting.
Checks



Press control A until the automatic opening of the fuel flap is heard.
This control remains active for a few minutes after switching off the ignition. If necessary, switch the ignition on again to reactivate it.
Take care to select the pump that delivers the correct fuel for your vehicle.

Introduce the nozzle so as to push in the metal non-return flap B.
Make sure that the nozzle is pushed in as far as possible before starting to refuel (risk of blowback).
Maintain this position while refuelling.
Push the fuel flap to close it.
If you are filling your tank to the top, do not persist after the third cut-off; this could cause your vehicle to malfunction.
The petrol or Diesel engine of your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter, a device which helps to reduce the level of harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.
For petrol engines, the use of unleaded fuel is compulsory.
The filler neck is narrower, admitting unleaded petrol nozzles only.
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 start the engine.
Fuel supply cut-off
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a collision.
Fuel used for petrol engines
The petrol engines are compatible with E10 bio-petrol (containing 10 % ethanol), conforming to European standards EN 228 and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 % ethanol) are reserved exclusively for vehicles marketed for the use of this type of fuel (BioFlex vehicles). The quality of the ethanol must comply with European standard EN 15293.

Fuel used for Diesel engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with biofuels which conform to current and future European standards (Diesel fuel which complies with standard EN 590 mixed with a biofuel which complies with standard EN 14214) available at the pumps (containing up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester). B30 biofuel can be used in certain Diesel engines. However, this use, even occasional, requires strict application of the special servicing conditions. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted, domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of damage to the engine and fuel system).

Checks


Misfuel prevention (Diesel)*
Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of engine damage that can result from filling with the wrong fuel.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention device appears when the filler cap is removed.
Operation

When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes into contact with the flap. The system remains closed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type filler nozzle.
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.
i Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different in other countries, the presence of the misfuel prevention device may make refuelling impossible. 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 want to travel.
Running out of fuel (Diesel)
On vehicles fitted with HDi engines, the fuel system must be primed if you run out of fuel; refer to the corresponding engine compartment view.

If the tank on your vehicle is fitted with a misfuel prevention device, refer to the "Misfuel prevention (Diesel)" section.

Checking levels


Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless otherwise indicated. If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

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).
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 so equipped, or using the dipstick.

To ensure that the reading is correct, your vehicle must be parked on a level surface with the engine having been off for more than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two services (or oil changes). CITROËN recommends that you check the level, and top up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
Checking using the dipstick
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine" section for the location of the dipstick in the engine compartment of your vehicle.
Take the dipstick by its coloured grip and remove it completely.
Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean non-fluffy cloth.
Refit the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to make the visual check: the correct level is between the marks A and B.

If you find that the level is above the A mark or below the B mark, do not start the engine.
- If the level is above the MAX mark (risk of damage to the engine), contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
- If the level is below the MIN mark, you must top up the engine oil.
Oil grade
Before topping-up the oil or changing the oil, check that the oil is the correct grade for your engine and conforms to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Topping up the engine oil level
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine" section for the location of the oil filler cap in the engine compartment of your vehicle.
Unscrew the oil filler cap to reveal the filler aperture.
- Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills on engine components (risk of fire).
Wait a few minutes before checking the level again using the dipstick.
Add more oil if necessary.
After checking the level, carefully refit the oil filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.
After topping up the oil, the check when switching on the ignition with the oil level indicator in the instrument panel is not valid during the 30 minutes after topping up.
Engine oil change
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of the interval for this operation. In order to maintain the reliability of the engine and emission control system, never use additives in the engine oil.
Brake fluid level

The brake fluid level should be close to the "MAX" mark. If it is not, check the brake pad wear.
Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specification
The brake fluid must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Power steering fluid level

The power steering fluid level should be close to the "MAX" mark. With the engine cold, unscrew the cap to check the level.
Coolant level

The coolant level should be close to the "MAX" mark but should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the temperature of the coolant is regulated by the fan. In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised, wait at least one hour after switching off the engine before carrying out any work. To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the level.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.

The cooling fan may start after switching off the engine: take care with articles and clothing that might be caught by the fan blades.
Screenwash / headlamp wash fluid level

To check the level or top up the fluid on vehicle fitted with headlamp washers, immobilise the vehicle and switch of the engine.

Open the bonnet and secure it with the stay.
Open the screenwash reservoir filler cap.
Take and pinch the level gauge to block its breather.
Remove the gauge completely from the reservoir to read the level in the transparent section.
Top up if necessary.
Refit the filler cap to the reservoir and close the bonnet.
Specification of the fluid
To ensure optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing, the fluid should never be topped up or replaced by plain water. In wintry conditions, the use of a fluid with an ethyl alcohol or methanol base is recommended.
Additive level (Diesel with particle filter)
According to your version of instrument panel, the additive reservoir low level is indicated by:

- fixed illumination of the particle filter warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message that the particle filter additive level is too low,
or
SERVICE
- fixed illumination of the service warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message that the particle filter additive level is too low.
Topping up
The reservoir must be topped up without delay by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
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 (France) or to an authorised waste disposal site.
Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine. Otherwise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
12 V battery

The battery does not require any maintenance. However, check that the terminals are clean and correctly tightened, particularly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer to the "12 V battery" section for details of the precautions to be taken before disconnecting the battery and following its reconnection.

The presence of this label, in particular with the Stop & Start system, indicates the use of a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special technology and specification. The involvement of a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop is essential when replacing or disconnecting the battery.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter

Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of the replacement intervals for these components.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace them twice as often if necessary.
A clogged passenger compartment filter may have an adverse effect on the performance of the air conditioning system and generate undesirable odours.
Oil filter

Replace the oil filter each time the engine oil is changed. Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of the replacement interval for this component.
Particle filter (Diesel)
According to your version of instrument panel, the start of saturation of the particle emissions filter is indicated by:

- fixed illumination of the particle filter warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message that there is a risk of blockage of the particle filter,
or
SERVICE
- temporary illumination of the service warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message that there is a risk of blockage of the particle filter.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit, regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, refer to the "Additive level" section.
On a new vehicle, the first operations of regeneration of the particle filter may be accompanied by the smell of "burning", which is perfectly normal. Following prolonged operation of the vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the emission of water vapour at the exhaust on acceleration. This does not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.
Manual gearbox

The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change). Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for the checking interval for this component.
Electronic gearbox

The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change). Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of the checking interval for this component.
Automatic gearbox

The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change). Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of the level checking interval for this component.
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.
Brake disc wear

For information on checking brake disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Manual parking brake

If a loss of effectiveness of this system is noticed, the parking brake must be checked, even between two services.
Checking this system must be done by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Electric parking brake

This system does not require any routine servicing. However, in the event of a problem, have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
For more information, refer to the "Electric parking brake - Operating faults" section.

Only use products recommended by CITROËN or products of equivalent quality and specification. In order to optimise the operation of units 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 ® additive and SCR system for BlueHDi Diesel engines
To assure respect for the environment and conformity with the new Euro 6 emissions standard, without adversely affecting the performance or fuel consumption of Diesel engines, CITROËN has taken the decision to equip its vehicles with an effective system that associates SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) with a particle filter (FAP) for the treatment of exhaust gases.
Presentation of the SCR system
Using an additive called AdBlue ® containing urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of nitrous oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and water, which are harmless to health and the environment.

The AdBlue ® additive is held in a special tank located under the boot at the rear of the vehicle. It has a capacity of 17 litres: this provides a driving range of about 12 500 miles (20 000 km), after which an alert is triggered warning you when the reserve remaining is enough for just 1 500 miles (2 400 km).
During each scheduled service of your vehicle by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop, the AdBlue® additive tank is refilled in order to allow normal operation of the SCR system.
If the estimated mileage between two services is greater than 12 500 miles (20 000 km), we recommend that you go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to have the necessary top-up carried out.
Once the AdBlue ® tank is empty, a system required by regulations prevents starting of the engine. If the SCR is faulty, the level of emissions from your vehicle will no longer meet the Euro 6 standard: you 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 650 miles (1 100 km), a system will be triggered automatically to prevent engine starting.
Range indicators
When switching on the ignition, an indicator gives an estimate of the distance that can be travelled with your vehicle before engine starting is automatically prevented, once the vehicle starts using the reserve of AdBlue or after a fault is detected with the SCR system. In the event of simultaneous system fault and low AdBlue level, the shortest range is the one displayed.
Range greater than 1 500 miles (2 400 km)
When the ignition is switched on, no information on range is displayed automatically in the instrument panel.

With the type 2 instrument panel, pressing this button temporarily displays the driving range.
Above 3 000 miles (5 000 km), the value is not specified.
In the event of the risk of non-starting related to a lack of AdBlue ®
The engine start prevention system required by regulations is activated automatically once the AdBlue ® tank is empty.
Type 1 instrument panel
Remaining range between 350 and 1500 miles (600 and 2400 km)

You have exceeded the authorised driving limit: the starting prevention system inhibits engine starting.
To be able to start the engine, you must call on a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Freezing of the AdBlue ® additive
The AdBlue ® additive 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.
Topping-up the AdBlue® additive
Filling the AdBlue ® tank is an operation included in every routine service on your vehicle by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Nevertheless, given the capacity of the tank, it may be necessary to top-up the additive between services, more particularly if an alert (warning lamps and a message) signals the requirement.
You can got to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If you envisage topping-up yourself, please read the following warnings carefully.
Precautions in use
The AdBlue ® additive is an urea-based solution. This liquid is non-flammable, colourless and odourless (kept in a cool area). In the event of contact with the skin, wash the affected area with soap and water. In the event of contact with the eyes, wash (irrigate) the eyes with large amounts of water or with an eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes. If a burning sensation or irritation persists, get medical attention.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth with clean water and then drink plenty of water. In certain conditions (high ambient temperature, for example), the risk of release of ammonia cannot be excluded: do not inhale the product. Ammonia vapour has en irritant effect on mucous membranes (eyes, nose and throat).

Keep AdBlue ® out of the reach of children, in its original bottle. Never transfer AdBlue ® to another container: it would lose its purity.
Use only AdBlue ® additive that meets the ISO 22241 standard.

Never dilute the additive with water. Never pour the additive into the Diesel fuel tank.

AdBlue®
The supply in a non-drip bottle simplifies toping-up. You can obtain 1.89 litre (half a US gallon) bottles from a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Never top-up from an AdBlue ® dispenser reserved for heavy goods vehicles.
Recommendations on storage
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and deteriorates above 25°C. It is recommended that bottles be stored in a cool area and protected from direct sunlight. Under these conditions, the additive can be kept for at least a year. If the additive has frozen, can be used once it has completely thawed out.

Never store bottles of AdBlue ® in your vehicle.
Procedure
Before topping-up, ensure that the vehicle is parked on a flat and level surface. In wintry conditions, ensure that the temperature of the vehicle is above -11°C. Otherwise, by freezing, the AdBlue ® cannot be poured into its tank. Park your vehicle in a warmer area for a few hours to allow the top-up to be carried out.
Switch off the ignition and remove the key, or if your vehicle has one, press the START/STOP button to switch off the engine.

Raise the boot floor for access to the AdBlue ® tank.
Secure the boot floor by attaching its cord to the hook on the parcel shelf support.
Unclip the black plastic blanking plug using its tab.
Insert your fingers into the aperture and turn the blue cap a 6 th of a turn anticlockwise.
Carefully lift off the cap, without dropping it.

Obtain a bottle of AdBlue ® . After first checking the use-by date, read carefully the instructions on use on the label before pouring the contents of the bottle into your vehicle's AdBlue ® tank.
Important: if your vehicle's AdBlue® tank is completely empty - which is confirmed by the alert displays and the impossibility of starting the engine - you must add at least 3.8 litres (so two 1.89 litre bottles).
After emptying the bottle, wipe away any spillage around the tank filler using a damp cloth.
If any additive is split or splashed, wash immediately with cold water or wipe with a damp cloth. If the additive has crystallised, clean it off using a sponge and hot water.
Refit the blue cap to the tank and turn it a 6th of a turn clockwise, to its stop.
Refit the black plastic blanking plug, clipping it in on the flap.
Detach the cord from the parcel shelf support and lower the boot floor.
Important: in the event of a top-up after a breakdown because of a lack of additive, you must wait around 5 minutes before switching on the ignition, without opening the driver's door, locking the vehicle, introducing the key into the ignition switch, or introducing the key of the "Keyless Entry and Starting" system into the passenger compartment. Switch on the ignition, then, after 10 seconds, start the engine.
Never dispose of AdBlue ® additive bottles in the household waste. Place them in a special container provided this purpose or take them to your dealer.

- a cable with adaptor for 12 V socket, - various inflation adaptors for accessories, such as balls, bicycle tyres...

F. Sealant cartridge.
G. White pipe with cap for repair.
H. Black pipe for inflation.
I. Speed limit sticker.

The speed limit sticker I must be affixed to the vehicle's steering wheel to remind you that a wheel is in temporary use.
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) when driving with a tyre repaired using this type of kit.
Repair procedure



1. Sealing
Switch off the ignition.
Turn the selector A to the "sealant" position.
Check that the switch B is in position "O".

- Uncoil the white pipe G fully.
Unscrew the cap from the white pipe.
Connect the white pipe to the valve of the tyre to be repaired.
Connect the compressor's electric plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket.
Start the vehicle and leave the engine running.

Avoid removing any foreign bodies
which have penetrated into the tyre.

Take care, this product is harmful (e.g. ethylene-glycol, colophony...) if swallowed and causes irritation to the eyes.
Keep this product out of the reach of children.

The vehicle's electric system allows the connection of a compressor for long enough to inflate a tyre after a puncture repair or for inflating a small inflatable accessory.

Switch on the compressor by moving the switch B to position "I" until the tyre pressure reaches 2.0 bars.
The sealant is injected into the tyre under pressure; do not disconnect the pipe from the valve during this operation (risk of splashing).
Tyre under-inflation detection
If the vehicle is fitted with tyre under-inflation detection, the under-inflation warning lamp will remain on after the wheel has been repaired until the system is reinitialised by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Do not start the compressor before connecting the white pipe to the tyre valve: the sealant product would be expelled through the pipe.
If after around 5 to 7 minutes the pressure is not attained, this indicates that the tyre is not repairable; contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop for assistance.

Remove the kit and screw the cap back on the white pipe.
Take care to avoid staining your vehicle with traces of fluid. Keep the kit to hand.
Drive immediately for approximately three miles (five kilometres), at reduced speed (between 15 and 35 mph (20 and 60 km/h)), to plug the puncture.
Stop to check the repair and the tyre pressure using the kit.



2. Inflation
Turn the selector A to the "air" position.
∞ Uncoil the black pipe H fully.
Connect the black pipe to the valve of the wheel.

Connect the compressor's electric plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket.
Start the vehicle again and leave the engine running.
As soon as possible, go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. You must inform the technician that you have used this kit. After inspection, the technician will advise you on whether the tyre can be repaired or if it must be replaced.
Adjust the pressure using the compressor (to inflate: switch B in position "I"; to deflate: switch B in position "O" and press button C), in accordance with the vehicle's tyre pressure label (located on the left hand door aperture).
A loss of pressure indicates that the puncture has not been fully plugged; contact a CITROËN dealer or qualified workshop for assistance.
Remove and stow the kit.
Drive at reduced speed (50 mph [80 km/h] max) limiting the distance travelled to approximately 120 miles (200 km).
Removing the cartridge

Stow the black pipe.
Detach the angled base from the white pipe.
Support the compressor vertically.
Unscrew the cartridge from the bottom.
Beware of discharges of fluid.
The expiry date of the fluid is indicated on the cartridge.
The sealant cartridge is designed for single use; even if only partly used, it must be replaced.
After use, do not discard the cartridge into the environment, take it to an authorised waste disposal site or a CITROËN dealer.
Do not forget to obtain a new sealant cartridge, available from CITROËN dealers or from a qualified workshop.
Checking tyre pressures / inflating accessories

You can also use the compressor, without injecting any product, to:
- check or adjust the pressure of your tyres,
- inflate other accessories (balls, bicycle tyres...).
Turn the selector A to the "Air" position.
∞ Uncoil the black pipe H fully.
Connect the black pipe to the valve of the wheel or accessory. If necessary, fit one of the adaptors supplied with the kit first.


Connect the compressor's electrical connector to the vehicle's 12 V socket.
Start the vehicle and let the engine run.

Access to the spare wheel

The spare wheel is installed in the boot under the floor.
Depending on version, the spare wheel may be a standard size steel or alloy wheel, or for some countries it is the "space saver" type.
For access to the spare wheel, refer to the paragraph "Access to the tools" on the previous page.
Tyre under-inflation detection
The spare wheel is not fitted with a sensor. The punctured wheel must be repaired by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.
If your vehicle has an electric parking brake, only a "space saver" type of wheel can be stowed in the boot.

Taking out the standard wheel
Unscrew the yellow central bolt.
- Raise the spare wheel towards you from the rear.
Take the wheel out of the boot.


Putting the standard wheel back in place
Put the wheel back in its housing.
Unscrew the yellow central bolt by a few turns then put it in place in the centre of the wheel.
Tighten fully until the central bolt clicks to retain the wheel correctly.
Put the box back in place in the centre of the wheel and clip it.
Removing a wheel

Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not block traffic: the ground must be level, stable and non-slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake unless it has been programmed to automatic mode, switch off the ignition and engage first gear* to lock the wheels.
Check that the braking warning lamps in the instrument panel are on (not flashing).
The occupants must get out of the vehicle and wait where they are safe. If necessary, place a chock under the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a jack; use an axle stand.

List of operations
Remove the chromed bolt cover from each of the bolts using the tool 3 (according to equipment).
Fit the security socket 4 on the wheelbrace 1 to slacken the security bolt.
Slacken the other bolts using the wheelbrace 1 only.

Place the foot of the jack 2 on the ground and ensure that it is directly below the front A or rear B jacking point provided on the underbody, whichever is closest to the wheel to be changed.

Extend the jack 2 until its head comes into contact with the jacking point A or B used; the contact area A or B on the vehicle must be engaged with the central part of the head of the jack.
Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient space between the wheel and the ground to admit the spare (not punctured) wheel easily.

Remove the bolts and store them in a clean place.
Remove the wheel.
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the ground is slippery or loose, the jack may slip or drop - Risk of injury! Take care to position the jack only at one of the jacking points A or B under the vehicle, ensuring that the head of the jack is centred under the contact area of the vehicle. Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to the vehicle and/or the jack dropping - Risk of injury!
Fitting a wheel

Fitting a steel or "space-saver" spare wheel
If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, when tightening the bolts on fitting it is normal to notice that the washers do not come into contact with the steel or "space-saver" spare wheel. The wheel is secured by the conical contact of each bolt.
After changing a wheel
To store the punctured wheel in the boot correctly, first remove the central cover.
When using the "space-saver" type spare wheel, do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
Have the tightening of the bolts and the pressure of the spare wheel checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop without delay.
Have the punctured wheel repaired and replace it on the vehicle as soon as possible.

List of operations
Put the wheel in place on the hub.
Screw in the bolts by hand to the stop.
Pre-tighten the security bolt using the wheelbrace 1 fitted with the security socket 4.
Pre-tighten the other bolts using the wheelbrace 1 only.

Lower the vehicle fully.
Fold the jack 2 and detach it.

Tighten the security bolt using the wheelbrace 1 fitted with the security socket 4.
Tighten the other bolts using the wheelbrace 1 only.
Refit the chromed bolt covers on each of the bolts (according to equipment).
Store the tools in the box.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.

The snow chains must be fitted only to the front wheels. They must never be fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
| Original tyre size Maximum link size. | |
| 215/60 R16 | 9 mm215/55 R1 |
| 225/45 R18 | |
| 225/40 R19 | cannot be fitted with chains |
For more information on snow chains, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Take account of the legislation in force in your country on the use of snow chains and the maximum running speed authorised.

It is strongly recommended that before you leave, you practise fitting the snow chains on a level and dry surface.
Practical information


Advice on installation
If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat surface on the side of the road.
Apply the parking brake and position any wheel chocks to prevent movement of your vehicle.
Fit the chains following the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Move off gently and drive for a few moments, without exceeding 30 mph (50 km/h).
Stop your vehicle and check that the snow chains are correctly tightened.

Avoid driving with snow chains on roads that have been cleared of snow, to avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and the road surface. If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, check that no part of the chain or its fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.

12 V battery
Procedure for starting the engine using another battery or charging a discharged battery.


The presence of this label, in particular with the Stop & Start system, indicates the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery with special technology and specification; the involvement of a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop is essential when replacing or disconnecting the battery.

After refitting the battery, the Stop & Start system will only be active after a continuous period of immobilisation of the vehicle, a period which depends on the climatic conditions and the state of charge of the battery (up to about 8 hours).
Access to the battery

The battery is located under the bonnet.
For access to the (+) terminal:
release the bonnet using the interior lever, then the exterior safety catch,
raise the bonnet and secure it with its stay,
lift the plastic cover for access to the (+) terminal.
Starting using another battery
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the engine can be started using a slave battery (external or on another vehicle) and jump lead cables.

First check that the slave battery has a nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity at least equal to that of the discharged battery.
Do not try to start the engine by connecting a battery charger.
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal when the engine is running.

Remove the plastic cover from the (+) terminal, if your vehicle has one.
Connect the red cable to the positive terminal (+) of the flat battery A, then to the positive terminal (+) of the slave battery B.
Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative terminal (-) of the slave battery B (or earth point on the other vehicle).
Connect the other end of the green or black cable to the earth point C on the broken down vehicle (or on the engine mounting).
- Start the engine of the vehicle with the good battery and leave it running for a few minutes.
Operate the starter on the broken down vehicle and let the engine run. If the engine does not start straight away, switch off the ignition and wait a few moments before trying again.
Wait until the engine returns to idle then disconnect the jump lead cables in the reverse order.
Refit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal, if your vehicle has one.
Before disconnecting the battery
Wait 2 minutes after switching off the ignition before disconnecting the battery. Close the windows and the doors before disconnecting the battery.
Disconnecting the (+) terminal
Raise the lever D fully to release the clamp E.
Reconnecting the (+) terminal

Position the open clamp E of the cable on the positive post (+) of the battery.
Press down on the clamp to position it correctly on the battery post.
Lock the clamp by lowering the lever D.

Do not force the lever as locking will not be possible if the clamp is not positioned correctly; start the procedure again.
Reinitialisation after reconnection
After any reconnection of the battery, switch on the ignition and wait at least one minute before starting, to allow time for the initialisation of the electronic systems.
By referring to the corresponding sections, you should set or initialise the following systems yourself:
- one-touch electric windows,
- time and date,
- audio and navigation system settings.

Check that no alert message or warning lamp comes on after switching on the ignition.
However, if minor problems persist after carrying out these operations, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Charging the battery using a battery charger

With Stop & Start, the battery does not have to be disconnected for charging.
Disconnect the battery from the vehicle.
Follow the instructions for use provided by the manufacturer of the charger.
Connect the battery starting with the negative terminal (-).
Check that the terminals and connectors are clean. If they are covered with sulphate (whitish or greenish deposit), remove them and clean them.

Some functions are not available if the battery is not sufficiently charged.

The batteries contain harmful substances such as sulphuric acid and lead. They must be disposed of in accordance with regulations and must not, in any circumstances, be discarded with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries and vehicle batteries to a special collection point.

It is advisable to disconnect the battery if the vehicle is to be left unused for more than one month.

Protect your eyes and face before handling the battery.
All operations on the battery must be carried out in a well ventilated area and away from naked flames and sources of sparks, so as to avoid the risk of explosion or fire.
Do not try to charge a frozen battery; the battery must first be thawed out to avoid the risk of explosion. If the battery has been frozen, before charging have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop who will check that the internal components have not been damaged and the casing is not cracked, which could cause a leak of toxic and corrosive acid.
Do not reverse the polarity and use only a 12 V charger.
Do not disconnect the terminals while the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries without disconnecting the terminals first.
Wash your hands afterwards.

Do not push the vehicle to start the engine if you have an electronic or automatic gearbox.
Load reduction mode
System which 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, the heated rear screen... The deactivated functions are reactivated automatically as soon as conditions permit.
Energy economy mode
System which manages the period of use of certain functions to conserve a sufficient level of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use functions such as the audio equipment, windscreen wipers, dipped beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for a maximum combined period of thirty minutes.

This period may be greatly reduced if the battery is not fully charged.
Switching to economy mode
Once this period has elapsed, a message appears in the screen indicating that the vehicle has switched to economy mode and the active functions are put on standby.

If the telephone is being used at the same time on the navigation system, it will be interrupted after 10 minutes.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically the next time the vehicle is driven.
In order to resume the use of these functions immediately, start the engine and let it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be double the period for which the engine is left running. However, this period will always be between five and thirty minutes.

A flat battery prevents the engine from starting (refer to the corresponding paragraph).
Changing a wiper blade
Before removing a front wiper blade
Within one minute after switching off the ignition, operate the wiper stalk to position the wiper blades vertically on the windscreen.
Removing

- driving at speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).
Fitting roof bars
For safety reasons and to avoid damaging the roof, it is essential to use the transverse bars approved for your vehicle.

When fitting roof bars, use only the four fixing points located in the roof frame. The points are masked by the vehicle doors when closed.
Remove the protective covers, levering them off with a screwdriver. Take care not to scratch the paint.
The roof bar fixings include a stud to be fitted to the hole at each fixing point.
Observe the fitting instructions and the conditions of use in the guide supplied with the bars.
Keep the protective covers safe so that they can be refitted after removing the roof bars.


Be sure to refer to national legislation in order to comply with the regulations for transporting objects which are longer than the vehicle.

Maximum load distributed over the roof bars, for a load height not exceeding 40 cm (except bicycle carriers):
- for roof bars with pads at 90 mm: 50 kg
- for roof bars with pads at 150 mm: 80 kg.
For more information, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the speed of the vehicle to the profile of the road to avoid damaging the roof bars and the fixings on the vehicle.
Towing the vehicle
Procedure for having your vehicle towed or for towing another vehicle using a removable towing eye.

Towing a trailer

Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggage, but it may also be used for towing a trailer.
We recommend the use of genuine CITROËN towbars and their harnesses that have been tested and approved from the design stage of your vehicle, and that the fitting of the towbar is entrusted to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. If the towbar is not fitted by a CITROËN dealer, it must still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's instructions.
Practical information

Driving with a trailer places greater demands on the towing vehicle and the driver must take particular care.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads
- Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to the axle and the nose weight approaches the maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must be reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of altitude.

Refer to the "Technical data" section for details of the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.
Side wind
Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline depends on the gradient and the ambient temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant temperature.

If the warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance. To avoid overheating of the brakes on a long mountain type of descent, the use of engine braking is recommended.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the recommended pressures.
Lighting
Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.

The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine CITROËN towbar is used.

i Installation of radio communication transmitters
Before installing any after-market radio communication transmitter, you can contact a CITROËN dealer for the specification of transmitters which can be fitted (frequency, maximum power, aerial position, specific installation requirements), in line with the Vehicle Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (2004/104/EC).
By visiting a CITROËN dealer you can also obtain cleaning and maintenance products (interior and exterior) - including ecological products in the "TECHNATURE" range, products for topping up (screenwash...), paint touch-up pens and aerosols for the exact colour of your vehicle, refills (sealant cartridge for the temporary puncture repair kit...), ...
Depending on the legislation in force in the country, certain safety equipment may be compulsory: high visibility safety vests, warning triangles, breathalyzers, spare bulbs, spare fuses, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, mud flaps at the rear of the vehicle.
The fitting of electrical equipment or accessories which are not recommended by CITROËN may result in a failure of your vehicle's electronic system and excessive electrical consumption. Contact a CITROËN dealer for information on the range of recommended equipment and accessories.

Identification markings
Various visible markings for the identification of your vehicle.

A. Vehicle identification number (VIN) under the bonnet.
This number is engraved on the bodywork near the suspension damper mounting.
B. Vehicle identification number on the dashboard.
This number is indicated on a self-adhesive label which is visible through the windscreen.
C. Manufacturer's label.
The VIN is indicated on a self-destroying label affixed to the driver's centre pillar.
D. Tyre/paint label.
This label is affixed to the driver's front pillar.
It bears the following information:
- the tyre pressures, for unladen and laden conditions,
- the tyre sizes (including the load index and speed rating),
- the spare tyre inflation pressure,
- the paint colour code.

The tyre pressures must be checked when the tyres are cold, at least once a month.

Low tyre pressures increase fuel consumption.

EMERGENCY OR ASSISTANCE CALL
EMERGENCY OR ASSISTANCE CALL
CITROËN Localised Emergency Call

In an emergency, press this button for more than 2 seconds. Flashing of the green LED and a voice message confirm that the call has been made to the CITROEN Localised Emergency Call centre*.
Pressing this button again immediately cancels the call. The green LED goes off.
Pressing this button (at any time) for more than 8 seconds cancels the call.
The green LED remains on (without flashing) when communication is established. It goes off at the end of communication.
This call is dealt with by the CITROËN Localised Emergency Call centre which receives locating information from the vehicle and can send a detailed alert to the appropriate emergency services. In countries in which the team is not operational, or when the locating service has been expressly declined, the call is dealt with directly by the emergency services (112) without the vehicle location.

If an impact is detected by the airbag control unit, and independently of the deployment of any airbags, an emergency call is made automatically.
If you benefit from the CITROËN Connect Box offer, you also have available additional services in your MyCITROËN personal space, via the CITROËN Internet website in your country, accessible on www.citroen.com.
* These services are subject to conditions and availability. Consult a CITROËN dealer.
CITROËN Localised Assistance Call

Press this button for more than 2 seconds to request assistance if the vehicle breaks down. A voice message confirms that the call has been made*.
Pressing this button again immediately cancels the request. The cancellation is confirmed by a voice message.
Operation of the system



When the ignition is switched on, the green LED comes on for 3 seconds indicating that the system is operating correctly.



If the orange LED flashes: there is a system fault. If the orange LED is on continuously: the backup battery must be replaced. In either case, contact a CITROËN dealer.
If you purchased your vehicle outside the CITROËN dealer network, we invite you to have a dealer check the configuration of these services and, if desired, modified to suit your wishes. In a multi-lingual country, configuration is possible in the official national language of your choice.
For technical reasons, particularly to improve the quality of Telematic services to customers, the manufacturer reserves the right to carry out updates to the vehicle's on-board telematic system.


The system is protected in such a way that it will only operate in your vehicle.

For safety reasons, the driver must carry out operations which require prolonged attention while the vehicle is stationary.
When the engine is switched off and to prevent discharging of the battery, the system switches off following the activation of the energy economy mode.

The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line. According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), this is a stylistic or background line, not a placeholder underscore. Therefore, the OCR result must ignore it and output nothing or only meaningful text. The provided OCR content is "____", which consists of four underscores. This is an incorrect interpretation of the line as a placeholder, violating the rule that stylistic lines must be ignored. The OCR has hallucinated placeholder underscores where none should exist in the GT. This is a formatting error: the OCR should have output nothing for this line. Therefore, the OCR result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.

On-board audio: Arkamys® Sound Staging.
With Sound Staging, the driver and passengers are immersed in an "audio scene" recreating the natural atmosphere of an auditorium: truly a part of the scene and its surroundings.
This new sensation is made possible by software in the audio system which processes the digital signals from the media players (radio, CD, MP3...) without changing the audio settings. This processing takes account of the characteristics of the passenger compartment to produce optimum results.
The Arkamys® software installed in your audio system processes the digital signal from the media players (radio, CD, MP3, ...) and recreates a natural musical scene, with harmonious placement of instruments and voices in the space in front of passengers, level with the windscreen.

Information and advice

The audio system will only play files with extension ".mp3" or ".wma" and a compression rate that is constant or variable between 32 Kbps and 320 Kbps.

It is advisable to restrict file names to 20 characters without using special characters (e.g. " ? ; ù) to avoid any playing or displaying problems.

The playlists accepted are types .m3u and .pls. The number of files is limited to 5 000 in 500 directories on a maximum of 8 levels.

On a single disc, the CD player can read up to 255 MP3 files spread over 8 directory levels. However, it is recommended that this be kept to 2 levels so as to limit the time taken to access and play the CD. During play, the folder structure is not observed.

In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or CDRW, when recording it is preferable to select standards ISO 9660 level 1.2 or Joliet. If the disc is recorded in another format, it may not be played correctly. It is recommended that the same recording standard is always used for an individual disc, with as low a speed as possible (4x maximum) for optimum sound quality. In the particular case of a multi-session CD, the Joliet standard is recommended.

Do not connect a hard disk or USB device other than audio players to the USB port. This may cause damage to your installation.

The distribution (or spatialisation using the Arkamys® system), is an audio process which allows the sound quality to be improved according to the setting chosen, corresponding to the position of the listeners in the vehicle.

The Ambience, Treble and Bass audio settings are different and independent for each sound source.

On-board audio: Arkamys® Sound Staging.
With Sound Staging, the driver and passengers are immersed in an "audio scene" recreating the natural atmosphere of an auditorium: truly a part of the scene and its surroundings.
This new sensation is made possible by software in the audio system which processes the digital signals from the media players (radio, CD, MP3...) without changing the audio settings. This processing takes account of the characteristics of the passenger compartment to produce optimum results.
The Arkamys ® software installed in your audio system processes the digital signal from the media players (radio, CD, MP3, ...) and recreates a natural musical scene, with harmonious placement of instruments and voices in the space in front of passengers, level with the windscreen.

| QUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION | ||
| There is a difference in sound quality between the different audio sources (radio, CD...). | For optimum sound quality, the audio settings (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience, Loudness) can be adapted to the different sound sources, which may result in audible differences when changing source (radio, CD...). | Check that the audio settings (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience, Loudness) are adapted to the sources listened to. It is advisable to set the AUDIO functions (Bass, Treble, Front-Rear Fader, Left-Right Balance) to the middle position, select the musical ambience "None" and set the loudness correction to the "Active" position in CD mode or to the "Inactive" position in radio mode. |
| When changing the settings for treble and bass, the ambience setting is deselected.When changing the ambience setting, treble and bass are reset to zero. | Choosing an ambience imposes settings for treble and bass. Modifying one without the other is not possible. | Modify the treble and bass settings or the ambience setting to obtain the desired sound quality. |
| When changing the balance setting, distribution is deselected. | Choosing a distribution setting imposes a balance setting. Modifying one without the other is not possible. | Modify the balance setting or the distribution setting to obtain the desired sound quality. |
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
| QUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION | ||
| The quality of reception of the radio station listened to gradually deteriorates or the stored stations do not function (no sound, 87.5 MHz is displayed...). | The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used by the station listened to or there is no transmitter in the geographical area through which the vehicle is travelling. | Activate the RDS function to enable the system to check whether there is a more powerful transmitter in the geographical area. |
| The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks...) block reception, including in RDS mode. | This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate a failure of the audio equipment. | |
| The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going through an automatic car wash or in an underground car park). | Have the aerial checked by a CITROËN dealer. | |
| Sound cut-outs of 1 to 2 seconds in radio mode. | During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for another frequency giving better reception of the station. | Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon is too frequent and always on the same route. |
| The traffic announcement (TA) is displayed. I do not receive any traffic information. | The radio station does not broadcast traffic information. Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffic information. | |
| The stored stations are not found (no sound, 87.5 MHz is displayed...). | An incorrect waveband is selected. Press the BAND button to return to the waveband on which the stations are stored. | |

| With the engine off, the audio system switches off after a few minutes of use. | When the engine is switched off, the audio system operating time depends on the battery charge.The switch-off is normal: the audio system switches to economy mode and switches off to prevent discharging the vehicle's battery. | Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery charge. |
| The message "the audio system is overheated" appears on the display. | In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature is too high, the audio system switches to an automatic thermal protection mode leading to a reduction of the volume or stopping of the playing of the CD. | Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to allow the system to cool. |
