Drive selector (Electric)

The drive selector is a pulse selector with a

regenerative braking function.

The drive selector provides traction control

based on the driving style, the road profile and

the vehicle load.

With regenerative braking activated, it also

manages engine braking when the accelerator

pedal is released.

Regenerative braking (the button lights up to

indicate its activation).

Information displayed on

the instrument panel

When the ignition is switched on, the drive

selector status is displayed on the instrument

panel:

P

: Park.

R

: Reverse.

N

: Neutral.

D

: Drive (automatic forward gear).

B

: Brake (regenerative braking activated).

Operation

► Move the selector by pressing it forwards

(

N

or

R

) or rearwards (

N

or

D

) once or twice,

passing the point of resistance if necessary.

For example, to change from

P

to

R

(with your

foot on the brake pedal), either push forwards

twice without passing the point of resistance or

push just once, passing the point of resistance.

Regenerative braking

With the Brake function and when

decelerating

The Brake function emulates engine braking,

slowing the vehicle with no need to depress the

brake pedal. The vehicle slows more quickly

when the driver releases the accelerator pedal.

The energy recovered when the accelerator

pedal is released is then used to partially

recharge the traction battery, thereby increasing

the vehicle's driving range.

The resulting deceleration of the vehicle

does not cause the brake lamps to come

on.

► From mode

D/R

, press button

B

to activate/

deactivate the function (the button lights up when

the function is activated).

D/R

on the instrument panel is replaced with

B

.

The system status is not saved when the ignition

is switched off.

In some situations (e.g. battery full,

extreme temperatures), the amount of

regenerative braking may be temporarily

limited, resulting in less deceleration.

The driver must remain alert to traffic

conditions and must always be ready to use

the brake pedal.

With the brake pedal

When the brake pedal is depressed, the

intelligent braking system automatically recovers

some of the energy and uses it to recharge the

traction battery.

This energy recovery also reduces use of the

brake pads, thereby limiting their wear.

The driver may experience a different

sensation when depressing the brake

pedal compared to a vehicle without

regenerative braking.

Driving modes

Driving modes are selected using the following

control:

1.

Pressing the control activates

Eco

mode. The

indicator lamp comes on. (Petrol or Diesel)

134

Driving

2.

Pressing the control displays the modes on the

instrument panel.

With an electric motor, when starting the vehicle,

no mode can be selected until the

READY

indicator lamp is displayed.

When the message disappears, the selected

mode is activated and remains indicated on the

instrument panel (except

Normal mode).

Whenever the ignition is switched on,

Normal

driving mode is selected by default.

Normal

To restore the default settings.

Eco

To reduce energy consumption by reducing the

performance of the heating and air conditioning,

without deactivating them.

To reduce consumption of the traction battery's

electrical energy by limiting engine torque.

Power (Electric)

Allows a fully laden vehicle (GVW) to obtain

equivalent performance to that of an unladen

vehicle in Normal mode.

All modes are displayed on the

instrument panel, except for

Normal

mode.

Coasting mode

Depending on version or engine, with an

EAT8 gearbox and the gear selector in mode

D

, gradually releasing the accelerator pedal

fully allows free-wheeling which can save fuel.

A drop in engine speed is normal (rev counter

at idle, drop in engine noise).

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.

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.

Stop & Start (Petrol or

Diesel)

The Stop & Start function puts the engine

temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during

phases when the vehicle is stationary (e.g. red

lights, traffic jams). The engine automatically

restarts - START mode - as soon as the driver

indicates the intention of moving off again.

Primarily designed for urban use, the function

is intended to reduce fuel consumption and

exhaust emissions as well as the noise level

when stationary.

The function does not affect the functionalities of

the vehicle, in particular the braking.

Opening the bonnet

Before doing anything under the bonnet,

deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid

any risk of injury caused by the engine

restarting automatically.

(depending on engine).

In this case, this indicator lamp flashes for

a few seconds, then goes off.

Malfunctions

Depending on the vehicle’s equipment:

In the event of a system malfunction, this

warning lamp flashes on the instrument

panel.

The warning lamp in this button flashes

and a message appears, accompanied by

an audible signal.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop.

The vehicle stalls in STOP mode

All of the instrument panel warning lamps come

on if there is a fault.

Depending on version, a warning message

may also be displayed, prompting you to place

the gear selector in position

N

and depress the

brake pedal.

► Switch off the ignition then start the engine

again with the key or the "

START/STOP

" button.

12 V battery

The Stop & Start system requires a

12 V battery of specific technology and

specification.

All work must be carried out only by a

CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop

Tyre under-inflation

detection

This system alerts the driver if one or more tyres

suffer a drop in pressure.

The alert is raised when the vehicle is moving,

not when stationary.

It compares the information given by the wheel

speed sensors with

reference values, which

must be reinitialised every time the tyre

pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed

.

It takes into account the last values stored

during the reinitialisation request. It is therefore

essential that the tyre pressure is correct during

the operation. This operation is the driver’s

responsibility.

The tyre under-inflation detection cannot,

in any circumstances, replace the need

for vigilance on the part of the driver.

This system does not avoid the need to

regularly check the tyre pressures (including

the spare wheel), especially before a long

journey.

Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly

in adverse conditions (heavy load, high

speed, long journey):

– worsens road-holding.

– lengthens braking distances.

– causes premature wear of the tyres.

– increases energy consumption.

The inflation pressures defined for the

vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure

label.

For more information on the

Identification

markings

, refer to the corresponding section.

Checking tyre pressures

This check should be done monthly

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.

137

Driving

6

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

This is signalled by the fixed illumination

of this warning lamp, accompanied by an

audible signal and, depending on equipment, the

display of a message.

► Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive

steering movements and avoid sudden braking.

► Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do

so.

The loss of pressure detected may not

always cause visible deformation of the

tyre.

Do not rely on just a visual check.

► Using a compressor, such as the one in

the temporary puncture repair kit, check the

pressures of all four tyres when cold.

► If it is not possible to carry out this check

immediately, drive carefully at reduced speed.

► In the event of a puncture, use the

temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel

(depending on equipment).

Driving too slowly may not ensure

optimum monitoring.

The alert is not immediately triggered in the

event of a sudden loss of pressure or tyre

blow-out. This is because analysis of the

values read by the wheel's speed sensors

can take several minutes.

The alert may be delayed at speeds below

25 mph (40 km/h), or when adopting a sporty

driving mode.

The alert is kept active until the system is

reinitialised.

Reinitialisation

► The system must be reinitialised after any

adjustment to the pressure of one or more tyres,

and after changing one or more wheels.

Before reinitialising the system, make

sure that the pressures of the four tyres

are correct for the conditions of use of the

vehicle and conform to the values written on

the tyre pressure label.

Check the pressures of the four tyres before

performing the reinitialisation.

The system does not advise if a pressure is

incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

Without touch screen

► With the vehicle stationary, press this

button for about 3 seconds then release it.

Reinitialisation is confirmed by an audible signal.

With touch screen

With the vehicle stationary, the

system is reinitialised via the

Driving/Vehicle

touch screen menu.

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction,

these warning lamps light up on

the instrument panel.

In this case, the tyre under-inflation monitoring

function is no longer performed.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop.

Non-standard spare wheel

The use of this type of spare wheel may

suspend tyre pressure monitoring.

In this case, the malfunction warning lamp

comes on and disappears once the wheel

has been replaced by one of uniform size (the

138

Driving

same as the others), the pressure readjusted

and the reinitialisation carried out.

Head-up display

System which projects various information onto a

smoked blade placed in the driver's field of vision

to avoid the driver having to take their eyes off

the road.

Information displayed

during operation

Once the system has been activated, the

following information is grouped together in the

head-up display:

A.

The speed of your vehicle.

B.

Cruise control/speed limiter information.

To clean the projection blade, use a clean,

soft cloth (such as a spectacles cloth or

microfibre cloth). Do not use a dry or abrasive

cloth, or detergent or solvent products, due to

the risk of scratching the projection blade or

damaging the non-reflective coating.

This system operates when the engine is

running, and the settings are saved when

the ignition is switched off.

Driving and manoeuvring

aids - General

recommendations

Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in

any circumstances, replace the need for

vigilance on the part of the driver.

The driver must comply with the Highway

Code, must remain in control of the vehicle in

all circumstances and must be able to retake

control of it at all times. The driver must adapt

the speed to climatic conditions, traffic and

the state of the road.

It is the driver's responsibility to constantly

monitor traffic conditions, assess the distance

and relative speed of other vehicles, and

anticipate their manoeuvres before using the

direction indicator and changing lanes.

These systems do not make it possible to

exceed the laws of physics.

Driving aids

You should hold the steering wheel with

both hands, always use the door and interior

mirrors, always leave your feet close to the

pedals and take a break every 2 hours.

Manoeuvring aids

The driver must always check the

surroundings of the vehicle before and during

the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the

mirrors.

Radar(s)

The operation of the radar(s), along with

any associated functions, may be affected

by the accumulation of dirt (e.g. mud, ice),

in poor weather conditions (e.g. heavy rain,

snow), or if the bumpers are damaged.

If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact

a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop;

certain types of paint could interfere with the

operation of the radar(s).

Driving aids camera

This camera and its associated functions

may be impaired or not work if the windscreen

area in front of the camera is dirty, misty,

frosty, covered with snow, damaged or

masked by a sticker.

In humid and cold weather, demist the

windscreen regularly.

Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,

heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle

(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun,

reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel,

alternating shade and light) can also impair

detection performance.

In the event of a windscreen replacement,

contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop to recalibrate the camera;

otherwise, the operation of the associated

driving aids may be disrupted.

Other cameras

The images from the camera(s)

displayed on the touch screen or on the

instrument panel may be distorted by the

terrain.

140

Driving

In the presence of areas in shade, or in

conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate

lighting, the image may be darkened and with

lower contrast.

Obstacles may appear further away than they

actually are.

Sensors

The operation of the sensors, as well as

any associated functions, may be disrupted

by noise pollution such as that emitted by

noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries,

pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of

snow or dead leaves on the road or in the

event of damaged bumpers and mirrors.

When reverse gear is engaged, an audible

signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors

may be dirty.

A front or rear impact to the vehicle can

upset the sensors’ settings, which is not

always detected by the system: distance

measurements may be distorted.

The sensors do not systematically detect

obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs)

or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).

Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind

spots may not be detected or may no longer

be detected during the manoeuvre.

Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound

waves: pedestrians may not be detected.

Maintenance

Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and

the field of vision of the cameras regularly.

When washing your vehicle at high pressure,

direct the spray from at least 30 cm away

from the sensors and cameras.

Mats/Pedal trims

The use of mats or pedal trims not

approved by CITROËN may interfere with

the operation of the speed limiter or cruise

control.

To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:

– Ensure that the mat is secured correctly.

– Never fit one mat on top of another.

Units of speed

Ensure that the units of speed displayed

on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are

those for the country you are driving in.

If this is not the case, when the vehicle is

stationary, set the display to the required

units of speed so that it complies with what is

authorised locally.

In case of doubt, contact a CITROËN dealer

or a qualified workshop.

Road signs recognition

For more information, refer to the

General recommendations on the use

of driving and manoeuvring aids

.

This system displays the maximum speed

authorised locally on the instrument panel, using:

– Speed limit signs detected by the camera.

– Speed limit information from the navigation

system’s mapping.

– Signs indicating a shared traffic zone detected

driving in.

This should be taken into account to ensure

you observe the speed limit.

For the system to work properly when

changing countries, the speed unit of the

142

Driving

instrument panel must match that of the

country you are driving in.

Automatic sign reading is a driving aid

system and does not always display the

correct speed limits.

The speed limit signs present on the road

always take priority over those displayed by

the system.

The system is designed to detect signs that

conform to the Vienna Convention on road

signs.

Specific speed limits, such as those for

heavy goods vehicles, are not displayed.

The display of the speed limit on the

instrument panel is updated when passing

a speed limit sign intended for cars (light

vehicles).

Activation/Deactivation

By default, the system is automatically activated

at every engine start.

The settings are changed via

the

Driving

/

Vehicle

touch screen

menu.

Information displayed on

the instrument panel

1.

Detected speed limit indication

or

2.

End of speed limit indication

The system is active but is not detecting speed

limit information.

On detecting speed limit information, the system

displays the value.

For a suggested maximum speed, the first time

that the vehicle exceeds it

by more than 3 mph

(5 km/h)

(e.g. 59 mph (95 km/h)), the speed is

displayed and flashes for 10 seconds (depending

on version).

Operating limits

The system does not take account of reduced

speed limits, especially those imposed in the

following cases:

– Atmospheric pollution.

– Towing.

– Driving with a space-saver type spare wheel

or snow chains fitted.

– Tyre repaired using the temporary puncture

repair kit.

– Young drivers.

The system may not display the speed limit if it

does not detect a speed limit sign within a preset

period and in the following situations:

– Road signs that are obstructed, non-standard,

damaged or bent.

– Obsolete or incorrect maps.

Recommendation

In addition to

Road signs recognition

, the

driver can select the speed displayed as a speed

When the speed setting remains below

the vehicle's speed for a prolonged

period of time, an audible warning is emitted.

Adjusting the limit speed

setting

You do not have to switch the speed limiter on in

order to set the speed.

To modify the limit speed setting based on the

vehicle’s current speed:

► Briefly press button

2

or

to display the memorised

speed settings.

► Press the touch screen button for the desired

speed setting.

The selection screen closes after a few

moments.

This setting becomes the new limit speed.

To modify the cruise speed setting based on the

speed suggested by the Road signs recognition,

as shown on the instrument panel:

► Press button

5

once; a message is displayed

to confirm the memorisation request.

► Press button

again to save the suggested

speed.

The speed is immediately shown on the

instrument panel as the new speed setting.

Temporarily exceeding the

speed setting

► Fully depress the accelerator pedal.

The speed limiter is temporarily deactivated and

the displayed speed setting flashes.

► Release the accelerator pedal to return to

below the speed setting.

When exceeding the speed is not due to the

driver's action (e.g. in case of a steep slope), an

audible signal is triggered immediately.

On a steep descent or in the event of

sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will

not be able to prevent the vehicle from

exceeding the speed setting.

If necessary, apply the brakes to control your

vehicle’s speed.

When the vehicle speed returns to the speed

setting level, the speed limiter operates again:

the speed setting display becomes fixed again.

Switching off

► Turn the thumbwheel

1

to the "

0

" position:

the display of information on the speed limiter

disappears.

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction, dashes are

displayed flashing and then fixed instead of the

speed setting.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop.

Fixed speed limiter

If fitted to your vehicle, its speed can be limited

to a fixed setting.

A label located in the passenger compartment

indicates this maximum speed.

The fixed speed limiter is not a cruise control

type function. It cannot be activated or

deactivated by the driver during the trip.

The maximum speed is originally set

according to the regulations in force in

the country of sale.

This maximum speed cannot be changed by

the driver.

If you wish to modify this maximum speed,

contact a CITROËN dealer.
