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.

Once the state of charge of the battery drops

-

a collision to be prevented, or its severity to

be limited, by reducing the vehicle's speed.

156

Driving

In the following cases, deactivating the system

via the vehicle's configuration menu is advised:

The system also takes motorcyclists and

animals into account; however, animals

below 0.5 m tall and objects on the road

are not necessarily detected.

As soon as the system detects a potential

obstacle, it prepares the braking circuit in

case automatic braking is needed. This

may cause a slight noise and a slight

sensation of deceleration.

signalled by the illumination of this

indicator lamp, accompanied by the

display of a message.

The system is automatically deactivated

after the use of certain "space-saver"

type spare wheels is detected (smaller

diameter).

6

The system is automatically deactivated

after detection of a fault with the brake

pedal switch or with at least two brake

lamps.

Operating conditions and

limits

The ESC system must not be faulty.

The DSC/ASR systems must not be

deactivated.

The vehicle has a multifunctional camera

located at the top of the windscreen, and,

depending on version, a radar located in the

front bumper.

All passenger seat belts must be fastened.

Driving at a steady speed on roads with few

bends is required.

It is possible that warnings are not given,

are given too late or seem unjustified.

Consequently, always stay in control of

your vehicle and be prepared to react at

any time to avoid an accident.

157

Driving

After an impact, the function automatically

been selected.

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.

164

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,

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

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.

Using one or two cameras, the close

surroundings of the vehicle are recorded whilst

manoeuvring at low speed.

An image from above your vehicle in its close

surroundings is reconstructed (represented

between the blue brackets) in real time and as

the manoeuvre progresses.

This representation facilitates the alignment of

your vehicle when parking and allows obstacles

close to the vehicle to be seen.

AUTO mode is activated by default.

In this mode, the system chooses the best view

to display (standard or zoom) according to the
