Driving  
Driving recommendations  
In severe wintry conditions (temperature  
below -23°C), let the engine run for  
4 minutes before moving off, to ensure  
the correct operation and durability of the  
mechanical components of your vehicle  
(engine and gearbox).  
Never leave children inside the vehicle  
unsupervised.  
F Observe the driving regulations and remain  
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.  
F Monitor your environment and keep your  
hands on the wheel to be able to react to  
anything that may happen any time.  
F Drive smoothly, anticipate the need for  
braking and maintain a longer safety  
distance, especially in bad weather.  
F Stop the vehicle to carry out operations  
that require close attention (such as  
adjustments).  
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.  
Never drive with the parking brake  
applied. Risk of overheating and damage  
to the braking system!  
F During long trips, take a break every two  
hours.  
Never park the vehicle or leave the  
engine running on a flammable surface  
(dry grass, dead leaves, etc.). The  
exhaust system of your vehicle is very  
hot, even several minutes after the engine  
stops. Risk of fire!  
Important!  
If you are obliged to drive on a flooded road:  
F check that the depth of water does not  
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that  
might be generated by other users,  
F deactivate the Stop & Start function,  
F drive as slowly as possible without stalling.  
In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10 km/h),  
F do not stop and do not switch off the engine.  
Never leave the engine running in  
a closed space without sufficient  
ventilation. Internal combustion engines  
emit toxic exhaust gases such as carbon  
monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death!  
Never leave a vehicle unattended 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).  
116  
Driving  
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety  
conditions allow, make several light brake  
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.  
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,  
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified  
workshop.  
When driving  
If the outside temperature is high, let the  
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the  
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.  
Cooling  
Towing a trailer uphill increases the  
temperature of the coolant. The maximum  
towable load depends on the gradient and the  
exterior temperature. The cooling capacity of  
the fan does not increase with engine speed.  
F Reduce speed and lower the engine speed,  
so as to limit the heating-up.  
Before setting off  
Nose weight  
In case of towing  
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the  
heaviest items are as close as possible to  
the axle and the nose weight (at the point  
where it joins your vehicle) approaches the  
maximum permitted without exceeding it.  
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant  
temperature.  
Driving with a trailer places greater  
demands on the towing vehicle and  
requires extra care from the driver.  
If this warning lamp and the STOP  
warning lamp come on, stop the  
vehicle and switch off the engine as  
soon as possible.  
Tyres  
Respect the maximum towable weights.  
At altitude: reduce the maximum load  
by 10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the  
decreased air density at altitude reduces  
engine performance.  
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing  
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the  
recommended pressures.  
6
Brakes  
Lighting  
Braking distances are increased when towing  
a trailer. To avoid overheating of the brakes, the  
use of engine braking is recommended.  
F Check the electrical signalling on the trailer  
and the headlamp beam height of your  
vehicle.  
New vehicle: do not pull a trailer  
before having driven at least 620 miles  
(1,000 kilometres).  
Side wind  
Bear in mind the increased susceptibility to the  
wind that the vehicle will have.  
If a genuine CITROËN towing device is  
used, the rear parking sensors will be  
deactivated automatically to avoid the  
audible signal.  
117  
Driving  
F Insert the key into the ignition switch; the  
system recognises the code.  
F Unlock the steering column by  
simultaneously turning the steering wheel  
and the key.  
Anti-theft protection  
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the key  
or the remote control, which would weigh  
down on its blade in the ignition switch  
and could cause a malfunction.  
Electronic immobiliser  
The keys include an electronic engine  
immobiliser system, whose secret code must  
be recognised in order for starting to be  
possible.  
If the system malfunctions, indicated by the  
display of a message, the engine will not start.  
Contact the CITROËN dealer.  
In certain cases, you may have to apply  
significant force to move the steering  
wheel (wheels on full lock, for example).  
Ignition on position  
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric  
equipment or portable devices to be charged.

Before reinitialising the system, make  
sure that the pressures of the four tyres  
are correct for the conditions of use of the  
vehicle and conform to the values written  
on the tyre pressure label.  
The loss of pressure detected does not  
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.  
Do not rely on just a visual check.  
The inflation pressures defined for your  
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure  
label.  
For more information on the  
Identification markings, refer to the  
corresponding section.  
Check the pressures of the four tyres  
before performing the reinitialisation.  
The system does not advise if a pressure  
is incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

Radar  
This camera and its associated functions  
may be impaired if the windscreen area in  
front of the camera is dirty, misty, frosty,  
covered with snow, damaged or masked  
by a sticker.  
On versions with camera alone, this  
message indicates to you that the camera  
is obstructed: "Driving aids camera:  
Visibility limited, see user guide".  
In humid and cold weather, demist the  
windscreen regularly.  
Obstacles may appear further away than  
they actually are.  
The operation of the radar as well as the  
associated functions may be impaired  
through the accumulation of dirt (mud,  
frost, etc.), in certain difficult weather  
conditions (very heavy rain, snow) or if the  
bumper is damaged.  
If the front bumper is to be repainted,  
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified  
workshop; certain types of paint could  
interfere with the operation of the radar.  
Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,  
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle  
(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low  
sun, reflections on a damp road, leaving  
a tunnel, alternating shade and light) can  
also impair detection performance.

30 cm away from the radar, sensors and  
cameras.  
and recommendation  
Refer to the General recommendations on  
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.  
The operation of the sensors as well as  
the associated functions may be disturbed  
by sound interference such as those  
emitted by noisy vehicles and machinery  
(e.g. lorries, pneumatic drills), by the  
accumulation of snow or dead leaves  
on the road or in the event of damaged  
bumpers and mirrors.  
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can  
upset the sensors' settings, which is not  
always detected by the system: distance  
measurements may be distorted.  
Mats  
The use of mats not approved by  
CITROËN may interfere with the operation  
of the speed limiter or cruise control.  
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:  
F ensure that the mat is secured  
correctly,

Units of speed  
Ensure that the units of speed displayed  
on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are  
those for the country you are driving in.  
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is  
stationary, set the display to the required  
units of speed so that it complies with  
what is authorised locally.  
Certain obstacles located in the sensors'  
blind spots may not be detected or may no  
longer be detected during the manoeuvre.  
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound  
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.  
You should update your navigation

stops operating. Contact a CITROËN  
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the  
system checked.  
Depending on the degree of risk of collision  
detected by the system and the alert threshold  
chosen by the driver, several different levels  
of alert may be triggered and displayed in the  
instrument panel.  
They take account of the vehicle dynamics, the  
speed of your vehicle and the one in front, the  
environmental conditions and the operation of  
the vehicle (cornering, actions on the pedals,  
etc.) to trigger the alert at the best moment.  
Collision Risk Alert  
It warns the driver if their vehicle is at risk of  
collision with the vehicle in front or a pedestrian  
present in their traffic lane.  
Intelligent emergency  
braking assistance  
Level 1 (orange): visual alert only,  
signalling to you that the vehicle in  
front is very close.  
The "Vehicle close" message is  
displayed.  
If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to avoid  
a collision, this system will supplement the  
braking, within the limits of the laws of physics.  
This assistance will only be provided if you  
press the brake pedal.  
Modifying the alert trigger  
threshold  
This threshold determines how you wish  
to be alerted of the presence of a moving  
or stationary vehicle in front of you, or  
a pedestrian or cyclist present in your traffic  
lane.  
Level 2 (red): visual and audible  
alert, warning you that a collision is  
imminent.  
The message "Brake!" is displayed.  
The current threshold can be  
modified via the Driving/Vehicle  
menu of the touch screen.  
Level 3: finally, in some cases, a  
haptic alert in the form of micro-  
braking can be given, confirming the  
risk of collision.  
You can select one of three predefined  
thresholds:  
-
-
-
"Distant",  
"Normal",  
"Close".  
The last threshold selected is memorised when  
the ignition is switched off.  
158  
Driving  
Operation of the function may be felt by  
slight vibration in the brake pedal.  
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,  
the automatic braking is maintained for  
1 to 2 seconds.  
-
-
The vehicle's speed does not exceed  
50 mph (80 km/h) when a stationary vehicle  
or a cyclist is detected.  
The vehicle's speed is above 6 mph  
(10 km/h) (versions with camera and radar)  
or between 6 mph and 53 mph (10 km/h and  
85 km/h) (versions with camera alone) when  
a moving vehicle is detected.  
Active Safety Brake  
If the camera and/or radar have  
confirmed the presence of a vehicle,  
a pedestrian or a cyclist, this  
warning lamp flashes (for about  
10 seconds) when the function is  
acting on the vehicle's brakes.  
Malfunction  
In the event of a fault with the  
system, you are alerted by the  
continuous illumination of this  
warning lamp, accompanied by the  
display of a message and an audible  
signal.  
Contact a CITROËN dealer or  
a qualified workshop to have the  
system checked.  
With an automatic gearbox, in the event of  
automatic emergency braking until the vehicle  
comes to a complete stop, keep the brake  
pedal pressed down to prevent the vehicle from  
starting off again.  
This function, also called automatic emergency  
braking, intervenes following the alert if the  
driver does not react quickly enough and does  
not operate the vehicle's brakes.  
It aims to reduce the speed of impact or avoid  
a frontal collision by your vehicle where the  
driver fails to react.  
6
With a manual gearbox, in the event of  
automatic emergency braking until the vehicle  
comes to a complete stop, the engine may stall.  
Fatigue detection system  
Refer to the General recommendations on  
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.  
The driver can control the vehicle at any  
time by making a deliberate movement  
of the steering wheel and/or pressing the  
accelerator pedal.  
Take a break as soon as you feel tired or at  
least every two hours.  
The function comprises the "Coffee Break  
Alert" system combined with the "Driver  
Attention Alert" system.  
Operation  
The system operates under the following  
conditions:  
-
The vehicle's speed does not exceed  
37 mph (60 km/h) when a pedestrian is  
detected.  
159  
Driving  
When the system interprets the behaviour of  
the vehicle as indicating a certain fatigue or  
inattention threshold on the part of the driver, it  
triggers the first level of alert.  
The driver is then alerted by the message  
"Take care!", accompanied by an audible  
signal.  
Activation/Deactivation  
As soon as the speed of the vehicle drops  
below 40 mph (65 km/h), the system goes  
into standby.  
The driving time is counted again once the  
speed is above 40 mph (65 km/h).  
These functions are activated and  
deactivated in the Driving/Vehicle  
menu of the touch screen.  
The state of the system stays in the memory  
when the ignition is switched off.  
After three first level alerts, the system triggers  
a new alert with the message "Driving at  
risk: take a break", accompanied by a more  
pronounced audible signal.  
Driver Attention Alert  
Coffee Break Alert  
The system triggers an alert once it  
detects that the driver has not taken  
a break after two hours of driving at  
a speed above 40 mph (65 km/h).  
In certain driving conditions (poor road  
surface or strong winds), the system may  
give alerts independent of the driver's  
level of vigilance.  
This alert is issued via the display of  
a message encouraging you to take a break,  
accompanied by an audible signal.  
If the driver does not follow this advice, the  
alert is repeated hourly until the vehicle is  
stopped.  
Using a camera placed at the top  
of the windscreen, the system  
assesses the driver's level of  
vigilance by identifying variations  
in trajectory compared to the lane  
markings.  
The system resets itself if one of the following  
conditions is met:  
-
-
-
engine running, the vehicle has been  
stationary for more than 15 minutes,  
the ignition has been switched off for a few  
minutes,  
the driver's seat belt is unfastened and their  
door is open.  
This system is particularly suited to main roads  
(speed higher than 40 mph (65 km/h)).  
160  
Driving  
Using a camera located at the top of the  
windscreen to identify lane markings on the  
road and at the edges of the road (depending  
on version), the system corrects the trajectory  
of the vehicle while alerting the driver if it  
detects a risk of unintentionally crossing a line  
or hard shoulder (depending on version).  
This system is particularly useful on motorways  
and main roads.  
Operation  
The following situations may interfere with  
the operation of the system or prevent it  
from working:  
Once the system identifies a risk of the vehicle  
involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings  
detected, it makes the correction to the  
trajectory required to return the vehicle to its  
initial path.  
-
poor visibility (inadequate lighting of  
the road, falling snow, heavy rain,  
dense fog, etc.),  
-
dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming  
vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp  
road, leaving a tunnel, alternating  
shade and light, etc.),  
The driver will notice a turning movement of the  
steering wheel.  
This warning lamp flashes during  
trajectory correction.  
-
-
windscreen area located in front of the  
camera: dirty, misted up, frost-covered,  
snow-covered, damaged or covered by  
a sticker,  
lane markings absent, worn, hidden  
(snow, mud) or multiple (roadworks,  
etc.),  
The driver can prevent the correction by  
keeping a firm grip on the wheel (during  
an avoiding manoeuvre, for example).  
The correction is interrupted if the  
direction indicators are operated.  
Conditions for operation  
-
-
close to the vehicle ahead (lane  
markings not detected),  
roads that are narrow, winding, etc.  
The speed of the vehicle must be between  
40 and 112 mph (65 and 180 km/h).  
The driver must hold the wheel with both  
hands.  
6
The change of trajectory must not be  
accompanied by operation of the direction  
indicators.  
The ESC system must not be faulty.  
The ASR/DSC systems must be activated.  
If the system detects that the driver is not  
holding the wheel firmly enough during  
an automatic correction of trajectory,  
it interrupts the correction. An alert is  
triggered to encourage the driver to take  
back control of the vehicle.  
Active Lane Departure  
Warning System  
Refer to the General recommendations on  
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.  
The system helps the driver only when  
there is a risk of the vehicle involuntarily  
wandering from the lane it is being driven  
in. It does not manage the safe driving  
distance, the speed of the vehicle or the  
brakes.

Driving  
The alert is given by an orange warning lamp  
coming on in the relevant door mirror, as soon  
as a vehicle – car, lorry, bicycle – is detected.  
A correction of trajectory will be felt if you  
attempt to cross a lane marking with the  
direction indicator flashing.  
This system warns the driver of the presence  
of another vehicle in the blind spots of their  
vehicle (areas hidden from the driver's field  
of vision), as soon as this presents a potential  
danger.  
This driving aid 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  
relative distances and speeds of other  
vehicles and to anticipate their movements  
before deciding whether to change lane.  
The following conditions must be met for this:  
-
-
all vehicles are moving in the same direction  
and in adjacent lanes,  
the speed of the vehicle must be between  
7 and 87 mph (12 and 140 km/h) for the  
alert and between 40 and 87 mph (65 and  
140 km/h) for a correction of trajectory,  
the system must be activated to trigger  
a change of trajectory,  
you overtake a vehicle with a speed  
difference of less than 6 mph (10 km/h),  
a vehicle overtakes you with a speed  
difference of less than 16 mph (25 km/h),

The system may suffer temporary  
interference in certain weather conditions  
(rain, hail, etc.).  
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.

Audible assistance  
Visual assistance  
Parking sensors  
Refer to the General recommendations on  
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.  
The function signals the presence of obstacles  
present within the vehicle sensors' detection  
zone.  
It supplements the audible signal by displaying  
bars on the screen that move progressively  
nearer to the vehicle (white: more distant  
obstacles; orange: close obstacles; red: very  
close obstacles).  
The proximity information is given by an  
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which  
increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.  
When the distance between the vehicle and  
the obstacle becomes less than about thirty  
centimetres, the audible signal becomes  
continuous.  
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)  
allows you to identify the side on which the  
obstacle is located.  
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"  
symbol is displayed on the screen.  
Using sensors located in the bumper, this  
function warns of the proximity of obstacles  
(e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) entering  
their field of detection.
