to

unlock

it.

Electric child lock

Remote control system to

prevent opening of the rear

doors (sliding side door(s), side-

hinged rear doors or tailgate

(depending on version)) using

their interior controls.

This control prevents the opening of the rear

doors using their interior handles and the use of

the rear electric windows.

Activation/Deactivation

► With the ignition on, press this button to

activate/deactivate the child lock.

A message is displayed, confirming activation/

deactivation of the child lock.

When the indicator lamp is on, the child lock is

activated.

In the event of a serious impact, the

134

Driving

Driving recommendations

► Observe the driving regulations and remain

vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.

► Monitor your environment and keep your

hands on the wheel to be able to react to

anything that may happen any time.

► Drive smoothly, anticipate the need for

braking and maintain a longer safety distance,

especially in bad weather.

► Stop the vehicle before performing operations

that require sustained attention (e.g. settings).

► During long trips, take a break every 2 hours.

To ensure the durability of the vehicle and

for safety reasons, remember that certain

precautionary measures must be taken when

driving the vehicle:

Manoeuvre cautiously, at low speed

Manoeuvre slowly.

Before turning, check that there are no obstacles

at mid-height along the sides.

Before reversing, check that there are no

obstacles, particularly at high level behind the

vehicle.

Be aware of the external dimensions, if ladders

are fitted.

Drive the vehicle carefully

Take corners gently.

Anticipate the need to brake as the stopping

distance is increased, particularly on wet or icy

roads.

Be aware of the effect of side winds on the

vehicle.

Maintenance

Inflate to the minimum pressure indicated on the

label, or even over-inflate by 0.2 to 0.3 bar for

long journeys.

Important!

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!

In very 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 drive with the parking brake

applied

. Risk of overheating and

damaging the braking system!

Never park the vehicle and never

leave the engine running on a

flammable surface (e.g. dry grass, dead

leaves).

The vehicle exhaust system is very

hot, even several minutes after the engine

stops. Risk of fire!

Never drive on surfaces covered with

vegetation (e.g. tall grass,

accumulated dead leaves, crops, debris)

such as a field, a country lane overgrown

with bushes or a grassy verge.

This vegetation could come into contact with

the vehicle's exhaust system or other systems

which are very hot. Risk of fire!

Make sure you do not leave any item in

the passenger compartment which could

act like a magnifying glass under the effect of

the sun's rays and cause a fire. Risk of fire or

damage to interior surfaces!

Never leave the 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).

Never leave children inside the vehicle

unsupervised

.

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 your vehicle's

electrical systems.

135

Driving

6

If the vehicle absolutely must drive through a

flooded section of road:

► Check that the depth of the water does not

exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that

might be generated by other users.

► Deactivate the Stop & Start function.

► 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 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.

Noise (Electric)

On the outside

Due to the vehicle’s quiet operation when

driving, the driver must pay particular attention.

When manoeuvring, the driver must always

check the vehicle's immediate surroundings.

At speeds of up to 19 mph (30 km/h), the

pedestrian horn warns other road users of the

vehicle’s presence.

Cooling the traction battery

The cooling fan comes on during

charging to cool the on-board charger and the

traction battery.

On the inside

During use, you may hear certain perfectly

normal noises specific to electric vehicles, such

as:

– Traction battery relay when starting.

– Vacuum pump when braking.

– Vehicle tyres or aerodynamics when driving.

– Jolting and knocking noise during hill starts.

Towing

Driving with a trailer places greater

demands on the towing vehicle and

particular care must be taken.

Do not exceed the maximum towable

weights.

At altitude:

reduce the maximum load by

10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the lower

air density at high altitudes decreases engine

performance.

New vehicle:

do not tow a trailer until the

vehicle has driven at least 620 miles

(1,000 kilometres).

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.

Before setting off

Nose weight

► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the

heaviest items are located 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.

Tyres

► Check the tyre pressures of the towing

vehicle and of the trailer, observing the

recommended pressures.

Lighting

► Check the electrical signalling on the trailer

and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.

If a genuine CITROËN towing device is

used, the rear parking sensors will be

deactivated automatically to avoid activating

the audible signal.

When driving

Cooling

Towing a trailer uphill causes the coolant

temperature to increase. The maximum towable

load depends on the gradient and the exterior

136

Driving

temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not

increase with engine speed.

► Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to

limit the amount of heating produced.

► Pay constant attention to the coolant

temperature.

If this warning lamp and the

STOP

warning lamp come

on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as

soon as possible.

Brakes

Using the engine brake is recommended to limit

the overheating of the brakes. Braking distances

are increased when towing a trailer.

Side wind

Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more

susceptible to wind when towing.

Anti-theft protection

Electronic immobiliser

The remote control contains an electronic chip

which has a special code. When the ignition is

switched on, this code must be recognised in

order for starting to be possible.

A few seconds after switching off the ignition,

this system locks the engine control system,

therefore preventing the engine from being

started in the event of a break-in.

In the event of a fault, you are informed

by illumination of this warning lamp, an

audible signal and a message on the screen.

The vehicle will not start; contact a CITROËN

dealer as soon as possible.

Emergency braking

If depressing the brake pedal fails to provide

effective braking or in exceptional circumstances

(e.g. driver unwell, assisted driving), the vehicle

can be braked by sustained pulling on the

electric parking brake control. Braking continues

for as long as the control is kept pulled, and

ceases when the control is released.

The ABS and DSC systems stabilise the vehicle

during emergency braking.

If emergency braking malfunctions, the message

"

Parking brake fault

" will be displayed on the

instrument panel.

If the ABS and DSC systems

malfunction, indicated by lighting

one or both warning lamps on the instrument

panel, the vehicle’s stability is no longer ensured.

► In this case, ensure the vehicle's stability by

successive and repeated "pull-release" actions

on the electric parking brake control until the

vehicle comes to a complete stop.

Hill start assist

This system keeps the vehicle briefly stationary

Gear shift indicator

(Depending on engine)

This system is designed to reduce fuel

consumption by recommending the most suitable

gear.

Operation

Depending on the driving situation and

the vehicle's equipment, the system may

recommend skipping one or more gears.

Gear engagement recommendations are

not to be considered mandatory. Indeed, the

configuration of the road, the traffic density and

safety remain determining factors when choosing

the best gear. Therefore, the driver remains

responsible for deciding whether or not to follow

the system’s advice.

The system cannot be deactivated.

On certain BlueHDi Diesel versions with a

manual gearbox, the system may suggest

shifting into neutral (

N

is displayed on the

instrument panel) so that the engine can go into

standby (STOP mode of Stop & Start), in certain

driving conditions.

With an automatic gearbox, the system is

only active in manual operation.

The information appears on the

instrument panel, in the form of an "up" or

"down" arrow and the recommended gear.

The system adapts the gear change

instructions according to the driving

conditions (e.g. slope, load) and driving style

(e.g. power demand, acceleration, braking).

The system never suggests:

– engaging first gear.

– engaging reverse gear.
