.Eco-driving
B618_en_Chap00c_eco-conduite_ed01-2016
Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without waiting.
During acceleration change up early.
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 ambient light
level does not require their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off, particularly in winter; your
vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.
Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO
2
emissions.
With an automatic gearbox, give preference to automatic mode and
avoid pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
The gear efficiency indicator invites you to 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 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 help reduce the background traffic noise.
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.
10
Eco-driving
B618_en_Chap00c_eco-conduite_ed01-2016
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 nitrogen 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.

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
1. Windscreen demisting-defrosting vents.
2. Front side window demisting-defrosting
vents.
3. Adjustable side air vent.
4. Adjustable central air vents.

6. Rear air outlets.

Depending on equipment, the
controls of this system are accessible
in the Air conditioning menu of
the touch screen or on the centre

Ease of use and comfort
B618_en_Chap03_Ergonomie-et-confort_ed01-2016
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F 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.
F Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation
of the air conditioning system.
F Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month
to keep it in perfect working order.
F 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).
F 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.
F If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
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 condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge
of water under the vehicle which is
perfectly normal.
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.
For more information on Stop & Start,
refer to the corresponding section.

- emergency braking assistance (EBA),
- wheel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction control,
- dynamic stability control (DSC).
Electronic stability control (ESC)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contributes towards improved control on
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The EBFD manages the braking pressure
wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
It is triggered according to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Traction
Control) optimises traction in order to limit
wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required by
the driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.

Activation
This system is activated automatically each
time the vehicle is started.
It comes into operation in the event of a
problem of grip.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR system, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip.
This is indicated by the flashing of
this warning lamp in the instrument
panel.
Operating fault
Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of
grip permits.
Deactivation is via the Driving menu
of the touch screen.
It is confirmed by a message.
Reactivation
The system is reactivated automatically every
time the ignition is switched back on or from
30 mph (50 km/h).
Below 30 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate it
manually.
Reactivation is via the Driving menu
of the touch screen.
It is confirmed by a message.
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, indicate a fault with
the system.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
ASR / DSC
These systems offer even greater
safety during normal driving but should
not encourage the driver to take
additional risks or drive at excessively
high speed.
It is when the traction conditions
deteriorate (rain, snow, ice) that the risk
of loss of grip increases. Therefore, for
your safety, it is essential to leave these
systems active in all conditions, and
particularly in difficult conditions.
The operation of these systems
is assured on condition that the
manufacturer's recommendations
concerning the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the CITROËN network
fitting and repair procedures are
complied with.
To ensure the effectiveness of these
systems in winter conditions, it is
essential to fit the vehicle with four
snow tyres which will enable the vehicle
to maintain neutral handling.

The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
fastened 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 fulfill 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 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.
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.
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 on Child seats, refer
to the corresponding section.
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.

Airbags
General information
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.
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 associated with
the deployment of one or more airbags
may result in a slight loss of hearing for
a short time.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
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 seat belts fitted
with force limiters (all except the centre rear
passenger belt).
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

front airbag
Only the passenger's front airbag can be
deactivated.
F With the ignition off, insert the key in the
passenger airbag deactivation switch.
F Turn it to the "OFF" position.
F Remove the key keeping the switch in the
new position.
When the ignition is switched on, this
warning lamp comes in the seat belt
warning lamps display screen or in
the instrument panel. It stays on while
the airbag is deactivated.
To assure the safety of your child,
the passenger's front airbag must be

Front airbags
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.
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.
When the ignition is switched on,
this warning lamp comes on in the
seat belt warning lamps display
screen or in the instrument panel for
approximately one minute to signal
that the front airbag is activated.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, you must contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay to have the system
checked. The airbags may no longer be
deployed in the event of a serious impact.

Lateral airbags
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.
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.

Safety
B618_en_Chap05_securite_ed01-2016
In the event of a minor impact or bump
on the side of the vehicle or if the
vehicle rolls over, the airbags may not
be deployed.
In the event of a rear or front collision,
none of the lateral airbags is deployed.
System contributing towards greater protection
for 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.
Curtain airbags
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.
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, you must contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Operating fault
The airbags may no longer be deployed in the
event of a serious impact.

Safety
B618_en_Chap05_securite_ed01-2016
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...), nor fix or attach anything close to
the inflation trajectory of the airbags; this
could cause injuries during their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the airbags.
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, the dashboard or the passenger's
sun visor as this could cause injuries with
deployment of the airbags.
Advice
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.
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.
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the safety recommendations below:
The vehicle's front door panels include side
impact sensors.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or
incorrectly executed work (modification or
repair) on the front doors or their interior trim
could compromise the operation of these
sensors - Risk of malfunction of the lateral
airbags!
Such work must only be done by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

General points relating to child seats
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.
Although one of CITROËN's 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.
* The regulations on carrying children are
specific to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country.

Advice
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's front airbag
when a rearward facing child seat is installed
on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child risks being seriously
injured or killed if the airbag is deployed.
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 must 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.
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.
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.

Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations 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.
As a safety precaution, the driver must only
carry out actions requiring sustained attention
when the vehicle is stationary.
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!
Risk of fire!
As the exhaust system of your vehicle
is very hot, even several minutes after
switching off the engine, do not park
or leave the engine running over areas
where inflammable substances and
materials are present: grass, leaves,
etc.
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.

When towing
Distribution of loads
F 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.
For more information on Weights, refer to the
corresponding section.
Side wind
F 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.
F To lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
F 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, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Tyres
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling
on the trailer and the headlamp beam
height of your vehicle.
For more information on Adjusting the
headlamp beam height, refer to the
corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal if a genuine CITROËN
towbar is used.
If the exterior temperature is high, it
is recommended that the engine be
allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after
the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate
its cooling.

Anti-theft protection
Electronic engine immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic chip which has
a secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
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.
For reasons of safety and theft protection,
do not leave your electronic key in the
vehicle, even when you are close to it.
It is recommended that you keep it on
your person.
In the event of a malfunction, you are informed
by a message in the instrument panel screen.
In this case, your vehicle does not start; contact
a CITROËN dealer if required.
Starting / Switching off the engine with the key
It has 3 positions:
- position 1 (Stop): insert and removing the
key, steering column locked,
- position 2 (Ignition on): steering column
unlocked, ignition on, Diesel preheating,
engine running,
- position 3 (Starting).
Ignition switch
Switching off the engine leads to a loss
of braking assistance.
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 or the remote control, which would
weigh down on its blade in the ignition
switch and could cause a malfunction.
It could adversely affect the deployment
of the front airbag.

Gear efciency indicator*
* Depending on engine.
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Example:
- You are in third gear.
- You press the accelerator pedal.
- The system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear.
The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow.
The system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (slope, load, etc.)
and the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking, etc.).
The system never suggests:
- engaging first gear,
- engaging reverse gear,
- changing down.
With an automatic gearbox, the system
is only active in manual mode.
On certain BlueHDi Diesel 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.
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. Indeed, 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.
On vehicle fitted with a manual gearbox,
the arrow may be accompanied by the
gear recommended.

The units for the speed limits (mph or
km/h) depend on the country you are
driving in.
It should be taken into account so that
you observe the speed limit.
For the system to operate correctly
when you change country, the units for
speed in the instrument panel must be
those for the country you are driving in.
The automatic reading of road signs is a
driving assistance system and does not
always display speed limits correctly.
The speed limit signs present on the
road always take priority over the
display by the system.
The system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must observe the driving
regulations and must adapt the speed
of the vehicle to suit the weather and
traffic.
It is possible for the system to not
display the speed limit if it does not
detect a speed limit sign within a preset
period.
The system is designed to detect signs
that conform to the Vienna Convention
on road signs.
To maintain correct operation of the
system: regularly clean the area in front
of the camera.
Speed limit recognition
This system allows the speed limit detected by
the camera to be displayed in the instrument
panel.
Specific speed limits, such as those for heavy
goods vehicles, are not displayed.
The display of the speed limit in the instrument
panel is updated as you pass a speed limit sign
intended for cars (light vehicles).
Principles
Using a camera at the top of the windscreen,
this system detects and reads speed limit and
end of speed limit signs.
The system also takes account of information
on speed limits from the navigation system
mapping.
It is necessary to update your
navigation mapping regularly in order to
receive accurate information on speed
limits from the system.

The legislation on speed limits is specific to
each country.
The system does not take account of reduced
speed limits in the following cases:
- poor weather (rain, snow),
- atmospheric pollution,
- trailer, caravan,
- driving with a space-saver type spare
wheel or snow chains fitted,
- puncture repair using the temporary
repair kit,
- young drivers,
- ...
The system may be disrupted or not work at all
in the following situations:
- poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,
falling snow, rain, fog),
- windscreen area ahead of the camera dirty,
misty, frosty, covered with snow, damaged
or masked by a sticker,
- fault with the camera,
- obsolete or incorrect mapping,
- hidden road signs (other vehicles,
vegetation, snow),
- speed limit signs that do not conform to the
standard, are damaged or distorted.

Fatigue detection system
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).
It is recommended that you take a break as soon as you feel tired or at least every two hours.
The system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
Do not take the wheel if you are tired.
Driving time warning
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).
This alert takes the form of 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.
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.

Lane Departure Warning System
System which, using a camera which
recognises solid or broken lines, detects the
involuntary crossing of longitudinal traffic lane
markings on the ground.
To provide safe driving, the camera analyses
the image then, if the driver's attention drops
and the speed is higher than 37 mph (60 km/h),
triggers a warning if there is an unexpected
change of direction.
This system is particularly useful on motorways
and main roads.
This system is a driving aid that cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The detection may be impeded:
- if the markings on the ground are
worn,
- if there is little contrast between the
markings on the ground and the
road surface,
- if the windscreen is dirty,
- in certain weather conditions: fog,
heavy rain, snow, shade, bright
sunlight or direct exposure to the
sun (low sun, leaving a tunnel, etc.).
Activation / Deactivation
Activation and deactivation of the
function is done by pressing this
button.
The status of the system remains in memory
when the ignition is switched off.

Blind Spot Monitoring System
This 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 fixed 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.
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.
This system is a driving aid that cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
Activation / Deactivation
Activation and deactivation of the system is
done in the vehicle configuration menu.
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel.
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.
To deactivate the system, go to the vehicle

Operation
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,
bicycle - is detected.
The following conditions must be met for this:
- all vehicles are moving in the same
direction and in adjacent lanes,
- the speed of your vehicle is between 7 and
87 mph (12 and 140 km/h),
- 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 traffic is 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, etc.
No alert will be given in the following situations:
- in the presence of non-moving objects
(parked vehicles, barriers, street lamps,
road signs, etc.),
- with vehicles moving in the opposite
direction,
- driving on a winding road or a sharp corner,
- when overtaking (or being overtaken by) a
very long vehicle (lorry, coach, etc.) 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.

In the event of a fault, this warning
lamp flashes for a few moments in
the instrument panel, accompanied
by illumination of the Service warning
lamp and the display of a message.
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.

Parking sensors
This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, gate)
which comes within the field of detection of
sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (e.g. stake,
roadworks cone) detected initially will no longer
be detected at the end of the manoeuvre, if
they are located in blind spots in the sensors'
field of detection.
This system cannot in any circumstances replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear.
This is confirmed 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-hand
or left-hand) 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 screen which move
progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed in the screen.
188
Driving
B618_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016
Deactivation or activation of the system is done
via the vehicle configuration menu.
The system will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being
towed or a bicycle carrier is fitted on
a towbar (vehicle fitted with a towbar
installed in line with the manufacturer's
recommendations).
In bad or wintry weather, 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.
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, do not

Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance
on the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
road holding, extends braking distances
and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous conditions
(high loading, high speed, long journey).
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.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing
snow chains.
Under-ination detection
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised every time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done when
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after a journey of less than
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures
shown on the label.

Under-inflation alert Reinitialisation
Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the
tyre pressure label.
The under-inflation alert can only
be relied on if the reinitialisation of
the system has been done with the
pressures in the four tyres correctly
adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
This is given by fixed illumination of
this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and, depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
It is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time one or more tyre pressures are adjusted,
and after changing one or more wheels.
F Reduce speed immediately, avoid
excessive steering movements and sudden
braking.
F Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so.
F If you have a compressor, such as the one
in the temporary puncture repair kit, check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold.
F If it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
or
F In the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.

Fuel tank
Capacity of the tank:
- Petrol: approximately 45 litres.
- Diesel: approximately 42 or 50 litres (depending on version).
Low fuel level Refuelling
When the low fuel level is reached,
this warning lamp in the instrument
panel comes on, accompanied by
an audible warning, a message and
the last bar of the fuel gauge flashes
in red.
To refuel in complete safety:
F You must switch off the engine.
F Open the filler flap.
A label on the inside of the fuel filler flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to use,
depending on your engine type.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to
be registered by the fuel gauge.
When it first comes on, about 5 litres of fuel
remain in the tank.
Until sufficient fuel has been added, this
warning lamp appears every time the ignition
is switched on, accompanied by an audible
warning and a message. This audible warning
and message are repeated with increasing
frequency as the fuel level drops towards "0".
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out.
Opening the filler cap may result in an inrush of
air. This is entirely normal and results from the
sealing of the fuel system.
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start,
never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
using the key, or the START/STOP
button if your vehicle has Keyless Entry
and Starting.
For more information on Running
out of fuel (Diesel), refer to the
corresponding section.
F Take care to select the pump that delivers
the correct type of fuel for your vehicle.
F Introduce the key into the cap then turn it to
the left, or turn the cap manually to the left
(depending on version).

F Remove the cap and place it on its support
(on the filler flap).
F Introduce the filler nozzle and push it in as
far as possible before starting to refuel (risk
of blowback).
F Maintain this position throughout the
refuelling operation.
Once you have finished refuelling:
F Refit the filler cap.
F Turn the key to the right then remove it
from the cap, or turn the cap manually to
the right (depending on version).
F Push the fuel flap to close it.
If you are filling your tank to the top, do not
persist after the 3
rd
cut-off; this could cause
malfunctions.
Your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,
which helps to reduce the level of harmful
emissions in the exhaust gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded
fuel.
The filler neck is narrower, allowing only
unleaded petrol nozzles to be introduced.
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a
collision.
Fuel cut-off
If you have put in the wrong fuel
for your vehicle, you must have the
fuel tank drained and filled with
the correct fuel before starting the
engine.

Misfuel prevention (Diesel)*
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into
the fuel filler neck of a 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.
* Depending on the country of sale.
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.
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.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may
be different in other countries, the
presence of the misfuel prevention
device may make refuelling impossible.
Not all Diesel vehicles are fitted with
misfuel protection, so 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
intend to travel.

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.
Checking using the dipstick
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.
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.
A = MAX
B = MIN
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).
The location of the dipstick is shown in the

When the engine is hot, the temperature of the
coolant is regulated by the fan.
The coolant level should be close to the "MAX"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top up.
A low coolant level presents a risk of serious
damage to your engine.
Fluid specication
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Fluid specication
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up or replaced
with plain water.
In wintry conditions, it is recommended that you
use an ethyl alcohol or methanol based fluid.
Screenwash fluid level
Top up the level when necessary.
The cooling fan may start after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might
be caught by the fan blades.
When the engine is hot, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after switching
off the engine before carrying out any work.
To avoid the risk of scalding in the event of an
urgent need to top up, with a cloth around the
cap, unscrew it by two turns to allow the pressure
to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap
and top up the level.
To ensure that the measurement is reliable, the
vehicle must be parked on level ground and the
engine must be cold.

AdBlue
®
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.
SCR system
Using a fluid called AdBlue
®
containing urea, a
catalytic converter turns up to 85% of nitrogen
oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and water, which are
harmless to health and the environment.
Once the AdBlue
®
tank is empty, a
system required by regulations prevents
starting of the engine.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level
of emissions from your vehicle will no
longer meet the Euro 6 standard: your
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.
In either case, a range indicator gives
you the distance you can travel before
the vehicle is immobilised.
The AdBlue
®
is held in a special tank with
a capacity of about 15 litres: this provides
a driving range of about 11 000 miles
(18 000 km). An alert is triggered automatically
to warn you when the reserve level is
reached: you can then drive about 1 500 miles
(2 400 km) before the tank is empty.
Freezing of the AdBlue
®
AdBlue
®
freezes at temperatures below
around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a heater
for the AdBlue
®
tank, allowing you
to continue driving in all weather
conditions.

Precautions in use
Keep AdBlue
®
out of the reach of
children, in its original container or
bottle.
Never transfer AdBlue
®
to another
container: it would lose its purity.
Never dilute AdBlue
®
with water.
Never pour AdBlue
®
into the Diesel fuel
tank.
Never top up from an AdBlue
®
dispenser reserved for heavy goods
vehicles.
Use only AdBlue
®
fluid that meets the
ISO 22241 standard.
The supply in a non-drip container or bottle
simplifies topping up. You can obtain 1.89 litre
(half a US gallon) bottles or 5 or 10 litre
containers from a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
AdBlue
®
is a 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 running
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 exterior temperature,
for example), the risk of release of ammonia
cannot be excluded: do not inhale the fluid.
Ammonia vapour has an irritant effect on
mucous membranes (eyes, nose and throat).

Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept
for at least a year.
If the additive has frozen, it can be used once it
has completely thawed out.
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 the AdBlue
®
may be frozen and
so 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.

250
In the event of a breakdown
B618_en_Chap08_En-cas-de-panne_ed01-2016
Charging the battery using a battery charger
For optimum service life of the battery, it is
essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.
In some circumstances it may be necessary to
charge the battery:
- if you use your vehicle essentially for short
journeys,
- if the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.
Never try to charge a frozen battery.
If the battery has been frozen, 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.
If you envisage charging your vehicle's
battery yourself, use only a charger
compatible with lead-acid batteries of a
nominal voltage of 12 V.
If this label is present, it is essential
to use only a 12 V charger, to avoid
causing irreversible damage to the
electrical components related to the
Stop & Start system.
Follow the instructions for use provided
by the manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.
F Switch off the ignition.
F Switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, lighting, wipers, ...).
F Switch off the charger B before connecting
the cables to the battery, so as to avoid any
dangerous sparks.
F Ensure that the charger cables are in good
condition.
F Raise the plastic cover, if your vehicle has
one, on the (+) terminal.
F Connect the charger B cables as follows:
- the positive (+) red cable to the (+)

period of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a period which depends on the exterior
temperature and the state of charge of
the battery (up to about 8 hours).
In order to maintain an adequate state
of charge for starting the engine, it is
recommended that the battery be disconnected
if the vehicle is taken out of service for a long
period.
Before disconnecting the battery:
F close all openings (doors, boot, windows),
F switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, wipers, lighting, etc.),
F switch off the ignition and wait for
four minutes.
At the battery, it is only necessary to
disconnect the (+) terminal.
Disconnecting the battery
After reconnecting the battery, switch on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting to
allow initialisation of the electronic systems.
However, if minor problems persist following
this operation, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

added to the pressures given on the label.
Different visible markings for the identification of your vehicle.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption.
Never reduce the pressure of a warm
tyre.
The original tyres fitted to the vehicle
may have a load index or speed rating
higher than those given on the label;
this has no effect on the inflation
pressures.
C. Manufacturer's label.
This self-destructing label is affixed to the right-
hand door aperture.
It bears the following information:
- the name of the manufacturer,
- the European Whole Vehicle Type Approval
number,

Information - Using the system
Press the Push To Talk
button and tell me what you'd
like after the tone. Remember
you can interrupt me at any
time by pressing this button. If you
press it again while I'm waiting for you
to speak, it'll end the conversation. If
you need to start over, say "cancel".
If you want to undo something, say
"undo". And to get information and tips
at any time, just say "help". If you ask
to me do something and there's some
information missing that I need, I'll
give you some examples or take you
through it step by step. There's more
information available in "novice" mode.
You can set the dialogue mode to
"expert" when you feel comfortable.
To ensure that voice commands are
always recognised by the system,
please observe the following
recommendations:
- speak in a normal tone without
breaking up words or raising your
voice.
- always wait for the "beep" (audible
signal) before speaking.
- for best operation, it is
recommended that the windows
and opening roof be closed to
avoid extraneous interference
(according to version).
- before making a voice command,
ask other passengers to not speak.
The voice commands, with a choice
of 12 languages (English, French,
Italian, Spanish, German, Dutch,
Portuguese, Polish, Turkish, Russian,
Arabic, Brazilian), are made using the
language previously chosen and set in
the system.
The voice commands in Arabic for:
"Navigate to address" and "Display POI
in the city", are not available.
Alternative synonyms can be used for
some voice commands.
E.g. Guide to / Navigate to / Go to /...
Example of a "voice command" for
navigation:
"Navigate to address 11 Regent
Street, London"
.
Example of a "voice command" for
the radio and media:
"Play artist Madonna"
.
Example of a "voice command" for
the telephone:

Selecting a station
Radio reception may be affected by
the use of electrical equipment not
approved by the Brand, such as a USB
charger connected to the 12 V socket.
The exterior environment (hills,
buildings, tunnel, car park, below
ground...) may prevent reception,
even in RDS station tracking mode.
This phenomenon is normal in the
propagation of radio waves and is in no
way indicative of a fault with the audio
system.

(if there is one).
If "DAB-FM auto tracking" is activated,
there is a difference of a few seconds
when the system switches to "FM"
analogue radio with sometimes a
variation in volume.
Once the digital signal is restored, the
system automatically changes back to

reception.

The following table groups together the answers to the most frequently asked questions concerning your audio system.
QUESTION
ANSWER
SOLUTION
The route calculation is not
successful.
The route settings may conflict with the current location (exclusion of
toll roads on a toll motorway).
Check the route settings in the "Navigation"
menu.
The POIs do not appear.
The POIs have not been selected.
Select the POIs in the list of POIs.
The audible warning of
"Danger areas" does not
work.
The audible warning is not active.
Activate audible warnings (without the possibility
of adjusting the volume) in the "Navigation" menu.
The system does not
suggest a detour around an
incident on the route.
The guidance criteria do not take account of TMC messages.
Select setting for the "Traffic info" function in
the list of route settings (Without, Manual or
Automatic).
I receive a "Danger area"
alert which is not on my
route.
Other than guidance, the system announces all "Danger areas"
positioned in a cone located in front of the vehicle. It may provide an
alert for "Danger areas" located on nearby or parallel roads.
Zoom in on the map to view the exact position of the
"Danger area". Select "On the route" to no longer
receive alerts other than navigation instructions or
to reduce the time for the announcement.

QUESTION
ANSWER
SOLUTION
Certain traffic jams along
the route are not indicated
in real time.
On starting, it is several minutes before the system begins to receive
the traffic information.
Wait until the traffic information is being received
correctly (display of the traffic information icons
on the map).
In certain countries, only major routes (motorways...) are listed for
the traffic information.
This phenomenon is normal. The system is
dependent on the traffic information available.
The altitude is not
displayed.
On starting, the initialisation of the GPS may take up to 3 minutes to
receive more than 4 satellites correctly.
Wait until the system has started up completely so
that there is GPS coverage by at least 4 satellites.
Depending on the geographical environment (tunnel...) or the
weather, the conditions of reception of the GPS signal may vary.
This phenomenon is normal. The system
is dependent on the GPS signal reception
conditions.

Audio and Telematics
Radio
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 by means of the
short-cut menu 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 fault with the audio system.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going
through a car wash or into an underground car park).
Have the aerial checked by a franchised dealer.
I cannot find some radio
stations in the list of
stations received.
The station is not received or its name has changed in the list.
Press on the "Update list" button in the "Radio
stations" secondary menu.
Some radio stations send other information in place of their name
(the title of the song for example).
The system interprets this information as the name of the station.
The name of the radio
station changes.

QUESTION
ANSWER
SOLUTION
Playback of my USB
memory stick starts only
after a very long wait
(around 2 to 3 minutes).
Some files supplied with the memory stick may greatly slow down
access to reading the memory stick (multiplication by 10 of the
catalogue time).
Delete the files supplied with the memory stick
and limit the number of sub-folders in the file
structure on the memory stick.
The CD is ejected
automatically or is not
played by the player.
The CD is inserted upside down, is unplayable, does not contain any audio
data or contains an audio format which the player does not recognise.
Check that the CD is inserted in the player the
right way up.
Check the condition of the CD: the CD cannot be
played if it is too badly damaged.
Check the content in the case of a recorded CD:
refer to the advice in the "AUDIO" section.
The audio system's CD player does not play
DVDs.
Some recorded CDs will not be played by the
audio system because they are not of adequate
quality.
The CD has been recorded in a format that is not compatible with the player (udf, ...).
The CD is protected by an anti-pirating protection system which is
not recognised by the audio system.
There is a long waiting
period following the
insertion of a CD or
connection of a USB
memory stick.
When a new medium is inserted, the system reads a certain
amount of data (directory, title, artist, etc.). This may take from a few
seconds to a few minutes.
This phenomenon is normal.
The CD player sound is
poor.
The CD used is scratched or of poor quality.
Insert good quality CDs and store them in suitable
conditions.
The audio equipment settings (bass, treble, ambiences) are
unsuitable.
Set the treble or bass level to 0, without selecting
an ambience.

QUESTION
ANSWER
SOLUTION
I cannot connect my
Bluetooth telephone.
The telephone's Bluetooth function may be switched off or the
telephone may not be visible.
Check that your telephone's Bluetooth function is
switched on.
Check in the telephone settings that it is "visible
to all".
The Bluetooth telephone is not compatible with the system.
You can check the compatibility of your telephone
at the Brand's website (services).
The volume of the
telephone connected
in Bluetooth mode is
inaudible.
The volume depends both on the system and on the telephone.
Increase the volume of the audio system, to
maximum if required, and increase the volume of
the telephone if necessary.
The ambient noise level has an influence on the quality of telephone
communication.
Reduce the ambient noise level (close the windows,
reduce the booster fan speed, slow down, ...).

QUESTION
ANSWER
SOLUTION
Some contacts are
duplicated in the list.
The options for synchronizing contacts are synchronizing the
contacts on the SIM card, the contacts on the telephone, or both.
When both synchronizations are selected, some contacts may be
duplicated.
Select "Display SIM card contacts" or "Display
telephone contacts".
Contacts are not shown in
alphabetical order.
Some telephones offer display options. Depending on the settings
chosen, contacts can be transferred in a specific order.
Modify the display setting in the telephone
directory.
The system does not receive
SMS text messages.
The Bluetooth mode does not permit sending SMS text messages to
the system.
QUESTION
ANSWER
SOLUTION
In changing the setting
of treble and bass the
equalizer setting is
deselected.
The selection of an equalizer setting imposes the settings for treble
and bass and vice-versa.
Modify the treble and bass or equalizer settings
to obtain the desired musical ambience.
In changing the equalizer
setting, treble and bass
return to zero.
When changing the

QUESTION
ANSWER
SOLUTION
There is a difference in
sound quality between the
different audio sources.
For optimum sound quality, the audio settings can be adapted to
the different sound sources, which may result in audible differences
when changing source.
Check that the audio settings are adapted to the
sources listened to. Adjust Balance, Treble, Bass
to the middle position, select the "None" musical
ambience and set the loudness correction to the
"Active" position in CD mode or to the "Inactive"
position in radio mode.
With the engine off, the
system switches off after a
few minutes of use.
When the engine is switched off, the system's operating time
depends on the state of charge of the battery.
The switch-off is normal: the system switches to economy mode
and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery.
Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery
charge.
The date and time cannot
be set.
Setting of the date and time is only available if the synchronisation
with the satellites is deactivated.
Settings menu / Options / Time-Date setting.
Select the "Time" tab and deactivate the "GPS

Radio
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 by means of the
upper band 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 fault with the audio system.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going
through a car wash or into an underground car park).
Have the aerial checked by a franchised dealer.
I cannot find some radio
stations in the list of
stations received.
The station is not received or its name has changed in the list.
Press the round arrow on the "List" tab of the
"Radio" page.
Some radio stations send other information in place of their name
(the title of the song for example).
The system interprets this information as the name of the station.
The name of the radio
station changes.

Playback of my USB

Delete the files supplied with the memory stick
and limit the number of sub-folders in the file
structure on the memory stick.
Some characters in the

The peripheral device connected does not support automatic play.
Start the playback from the device.
The names of tracks and
the track length are not

I cannot connect my
Bluetooth telephone.
The telephone's Bluetooth function may be switched off or the
telephone may not be visible.
Check that your telephone's Bluetooth function is
switched on.
Check in the telephone settings that it is "visible
to all".
The Bluetooth telephone is not compatible with the system.
You can check the compatibility of your telephone
at the Brand's website (services).
The volume of the
telephone connected
in Bluetooth mode is
inaudible.
The volume depends both on the system and on the telephone.
Increase the volume of the audio system, to
maximum if required, and increase the volume of
the telephone if necessary.
The ambient noise level has an influence on the quality of telephone
communication.
Reduce the ambient noise level (close the
windows, reduce the booster fan speed, slow
down, ...).
Contacts are not shown in
alphabetical order.
Some telephones offer display options. Depending on the settings
chosen, contacts can be transferred in a specific order.
Modify the display setting in the telephone
directory.

QUESTION
ANSWER
SOLUTION
In changing the setting
of treble and bass the
equalizer setting is
deselected.
The selection of an equalizer setting imposes the settings for treble
and bass and vice-versa.
Modify the treble and bass or equalizer settings to
obtain the desired musical ambience.
In changing the equalizer
setting, treble and bass
return to zero.
When changing the
balance settings, the
distribution setting is
deselected.
The selection of a distribution setting imposes the balance settings
and vice-versa.
Modify the balance or distribution settings to
obtain the desired musical ambience.
When changing a
distribution setting,
the balance setting is
deselected.
There is a difference in
sound quality between the
different audio sources.
For optimum sound quality, the audio settings can be adapted to
the different sound sources, which may result in audible differences
when changing source.
Check that the audio settings are adapted to the
sources listened to. Adjust the audio functions to
the middle position.
With the engine off, the
system switches off after a
few minutes of use.
When the engine is switched off, the system's operating time
depends on the state of charge of the battery.
The switch-off is normal: the system switches to economy mode and
switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery.
Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery
charge.

Frequently asked questions 166
Your audio system is coded in such
a way that it will only operate in your
vehicle.
All work on the system must be
carried out exclusively by a dealer or
qualified workshop, to avoid any risk of
electrocution, fire or mechanical faults.
To avoid discharging the battery, the
audio system may switch off after a few
minutes if the engine is not running.
The different functions and adjustments
described vary according to the version
and configuration of your vehicle.
As a safety measure and because it
requires the sustained attention of the
driver, the pairing of your Bluetooth
telephone to the Bluetooth hands-free
audio system must only be carried out
with the
vehicle stationary
and the
ignition on.

QUESTION
ANSWER
SOLUTION
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 state of charge of the battery.
The switch-off is normal: the audio equipment switches to economy
mode and switches off to prevent discharging of 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 in volume or CD play
stopping.
Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to
allow the system to cool.
Frequently asked questions
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 and 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 and Loudness) are adapted to
the sources listened to. It is advisable to set the
audio functions (Bass, Treble, Front-Rear Balance
and 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.

ANSWER
SOLUTION
The preset stations do
not function (no sound,
87.5 Mhz is displayed...).
An incorrect waveband is selected.
Press the BAND button to return to the waveband
(FM, FM2, DAB, AM) on which the stations are
preset.
The traffic announcement
(TA) is displayed. I do
not receive any traffic
information.
The radio station is not part of the regional traffic information
network.
Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffic
information.
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, underground car parks...) block
reception, including in RDS mode.
This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate
a fault in the audio system.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going
through an automatic car wash or into an underground car park).
Have the aerial checked by a franchised 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.
