180° rear vision

This system allows the near surroundings of the
vehicle to be viewed in the display screen using
cameras located at the rear of the vehicle. The
parking sensors in the rear and/or front bumper
complete the information on the view from
above the vehicle (right-hand part).
In addition to the view from above the vehicle
(right-hand part) several types of view can be
displayed (left-hand part):
-

standard rear view,

-

180° rear view,

- reconstructed zoom rear view.

Principle of image
reconstruction

The system displays the contextual view (left-
hand part) as well as the view from above the
vehicle in its close surroundings.
By default, automatic mode is activated.
In this mode, the system chooses the best view
to display (standard or zoom) according to the
information received from the parking sensors.
The 180° view is only available through the
menus.

The display disappears above
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
The system is automatically deactivated
about 7 seconds after coming out of
reverse or on opening a door or the
boot.

This system is a visual aid and cannot
in any circumstances replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The images provided by the cameras
may appear distorted by the
surroundings (exterior conditions,
driving mode, ...).
The presence of areas in shadow, bright
sunlight, or poor lighting conditions
may make the image dark and reduce
contrast.

Using the rear camera, the system records the
vehicle's surroundings during a manoeuvre.
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 you to
see all of the obstacles close to the vehicle.
This reconstructed view is automatically erased
if the vehicle remains stationary for too long.

"Standard view"

"180° view"

"Zoom view" (reconstructed)

The camera records the surroundings during a
manoeuvre in order to create a reconstruction
of the view from above the rear of the vehicle in
its close surroundings, allowing the vehicle to
be manoeuvred among the obstacles nearby.
This view is available with AUTO view or by
selecting of the view in the change view menu.

180° view makes it possible to reverse out of
a parking space while being able to see the
arrival of vehicles, pedestrians or cyclists.
This view is not recommended for carrying out
a complete manoeuvre.
It is made up of the following:

The area to the rear of your vehicle is displayed
in the screen.
The blue outline represents the width of your
vehicle (with mirrors): its orientation depends
on the position of the steering wheel.
The red line represents a distance of 30 cm
from the rear bumper and the two blue lines,
1 m and 2 m respectively.

Rear views

Engage reverse gear to activate the camera,
located on the tailgate or rear door.

The rear parking sensors also
provide information on the vehicle's
surroundings.
Obstacles may appear further away
than they are in reality.
It is important to check the side views
using the mirrors during the manoeuvre.

Activation

Activation is automatic on engaging reverse.
The function is displayed in the touch screen.
To close the window displayed, press on the
red cross at the top left of the screen.

On display of the sub-menu, select one of the
four views:

"Standard view".

"180° view".

"Zoom view".

"AUTO mode".

You can choose the display mode at any time
by pressing on this area.

Check the cleanliness of the camera
lenses regularly.
Periodically clean the reversing camera
with a soft dry cloth.

"AUTO mode"

This mode is activated by default.
Using sensors in the rear bumper, the
automatic view allows a change from the rear
view to the view from above as an obstacle is
approached during a manoeuvre.

The system is automatically deactivated
when towing a trailer or carrying a
bicycle on the towbar (vehicle fitted with
a towbar installed as recommended by
the manufacturer).

Quick start mode

This mode displays, as quickly as possible, the
contextual view (left-hand part) and the view
from above the vehicle.

High pressure jet wash (if muddy, for
example)
When washing your vehicle, do not
place the tip of the lance within 30 cm of
the camera lenses, as otherwise there
is a risk of damaging them.

A message is displayed advising you to check
your vehicle's surroundings before starting the
manoeuvre.

Driving

Spacetourer-VP_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016

Under-inflation detection

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.

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).

System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.

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.
Tyre pressures should be checked
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 (when hot), add 0.3 bar to
the pressures shown on the label.

Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.

Snow chains

The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing
snow chains.

Spare wheel

The steel spare wheel does not have an
under-inflation detection sensor.

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 In the event of a puncture, use the

temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment),

or
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,

or
F

if it is not possible to make this check

immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.

The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check.

The alert is maintained until the system
is reinitialised.

Initialisation of the system is done with the
ignition on and the vehicle stationary.

The new pressure settings registered
are considered to be reference values
by the system.

Fuel tank

Opening

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.

-

You must switch off the engine.

-

If your vehicle has Keyless Entry and
Starting, unlock the vehicle.

- Open the filler flap.

Refuelling

Additions of fuel must be of at least 8 litres to
be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may result in an inrush of
air. This vacuum is entirely normal and results
from the sealing of the fuel system.

F Remove the filler cap, then place it on the

carrier located on the filler flap.

F Introduce the nozzle and push it in fully

(pushing on the metal non-return valve A).

F

Fill the tank. Do not continue past the third

cut-off of the nozzle, as this may cause
malfunctions.

F

Refit the filler cap turning it to the right.

F Push the filler flap to close it (your vehicle

must be unlocked).

F

Take care to select the pump that delivers

the correct fuel type for your vehicle's
engine (reminder on a label on the inside of
the filler flap).

Capacity of the tank: approximately 69 litres.

F

If your vehicle has a conventional key,

introduce the key into the filler cap, then
turn it to the left.

Low fuel level

When the low fuel level in the tank is
reached, this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel, accompanied
by an audible warning and a message.

Fuel supply cut-off

Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a
collision.

When it first comes on, less than 8 litres of fuel
remain in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out.

If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have have
the tank drained and refilled with
the correct fuel before you start the
engine.

Your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,
a device which helps to reduce the level of
harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.

Diesel misfuel
prevention

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

When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
into contact with the flap. The system remains
closed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel filler
nozzle.

If your vehicle has sliding side doors, do
not open the left hand sliding door as
there is a risk of damaging the fuel filler
flap when refuelling.

Fuel used for Diesel
engines

The Diesel engines are compatible with
biofuels available at the pumps which meet
current and future European standards:
- Diesel fuel that meets standard EN 590

mixed with a biofuel that meets standard
EN 14214,

- Diesel fuel that meets standard EN16734

mixed with a biofuel that meets standard
EN14214 (possibly containing up to
10 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester),

-

Paraffinic Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN15940 mixed with a biofuel that meets
standard EN14214 (possibly containing up
to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).

The use of B20 or B30 fuel meeting standard
EN16709 is possible in your Diesel engines.
However, this use, even occasional, requires
strict application of the special servicing
conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".
For more information, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of
damage to the engine and fuel system).
Only the use of Diesel fuel additives that meet
the standard B715000 is authorised.

It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill
the tank but this must be done slowly.
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.

Travelling abroad

As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different
in other countries, the presence of the misfuel
prevention device may make refuelling
impossible.
Before travelling abroad, we recommend that
you check with the CITROËN dealer network,
whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuel
pumps in the country in which you want to
travel.

Snow chains

In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.

The snow chains must be fitted only to
the front wheels.

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

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

Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:

You can also use snow socks.
For more information on snow chains, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Advice on installation

F

If you have to fit the chains during a

journey, stop the vehicle on a flat surface
on the side of the road.

Towing a trailer

We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved
from the design stage of your vehicle,
and that the fitting of the towbar is
entrusted to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a
CITROËN dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.

Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer.

Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
