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

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.

can be manually applied or released at 

any time using the control.

Special cases

Immobilising the vehicle with the 

engine running

To immobilise the vehicle with the engine 

running, briefly pull the control.

142

Driving

Parking the vehicle with the brake 

released

In very cold conditions (ice), applying the 

parking brake is not recommended.

To immobilise the vehicle, engage a gear or 

place the chocks against one of the wheels.

With an automatic gearbox or drive 

selector, mode 

P

 is automatically 

selected when the ignition is switched off. The 

wheels are blocked.

For more information on 

Free-wheeling

, refer 

to the corresponding section.

With an automatic gearbox or a drive 

selector, if you open the driver's 

door while mode 

N

 is engaged, an audible 

signal will sound and mode 

P

 will be 

engaged. The audible signal stops when the 

driver's door is closed.

Deactivating automatic 

operation

In some situations, for example when it is 

extremely cold or when towing (e.g. caravan, 

breakdown), it may be necessary to deactivate 

automatic operation of the system.

 

 

 

 

►  Start the engine.

►  Use the control to apply the parking brake, if 

it is released.

►  Take your foot fully off the brake pedal.

►  Keep the control pushed in the release 

direction for 10 to a maximum of 15 seconds.

►  Release the control.

►  Depress and hold the brake pedal.

►  Pull the control in the application direction for 

2 seconds.

This indicator lamp on the instrument 

panel comes on to confirm deactivation of 

the automatic functions.

►  Release the control and the brake pedal.

From this point onwards, only the manual 

functions, using the control, allow the parking 

brake to be applied and released.

►  Follow this procedure again to reactivate 

automatic operation (confirmed by the indicator 

lamp on the instrument panel going out).

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 

(for approximately 2 seconds) when making a hill 

start, while you transfer your foot from the brake 

pedal to the accelerator pedal.

The system is only active when:

–  The vehicle is completely stationary, with your 

foot on the brake pedal.

–  Certain slope conditions are met.

–  The driver’s door is closed.

143

Driving

Do not leave the vehicle while it is being 

held temporarily by hill start assist.

If someone needs to get out of the vehicle 

with the engine running, apply the parking 

brake manually. Then check that the parking 

brake indicator lamp and the 

P

 indicator lamp 

in the electric parking brake control are on 

fixed.

The hill start assist function cannot be 

deactivated. However, using the parking 

brake to immobilise the vehicle interrupts its 

operation.

If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox 

and you have to move off on a steep 

slope (uphill or downhill) with a loaded 

vehicle, 

press the brake pedal

, select 

position 

D

, release the parking brake then 

release the brake pedal.

Operation

 

 

Facing uphill, with the vehicle stationary, 

the vehicle is held for a short time when the 

driver releases the brake pedal:

–  If first gear or neutral is engaged on a manual 

gearbox.

–  If mode 

D

 or 

M

 is selected on an automatic 

gearbox.

–  If mode 

D

 or 

B

 is selected on the drive 

selector.

 

 

Facing downhill, with the vehicle stationary 

and reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held 

for a short time when the driver releases the 

brake pedal.

Malfunction

If the event of a malfunction, these 

warning lamps light up on the 

instrument panel, accompanied by the display of 

a message.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 

qualified workshop.

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.

Automatic gearbox

Automatic 6 or 8-speed gearbox, with electronic 

management of gear changes. It also offers a 

manual mode with sequential gear changes 

via control paddles located behind the steering 

wheel.

 is displayed on the instrument panel 

but the selector is in another position, 

place the selector in position 

P

 to allow the 

engine to be started.

If position 

N

 is selected inadvertently while 

driving, allow the engine to return to idle, then 

select position 

D

 to accelerate.

When the engine is running at idle with 

the brakes released, if position 

R

, 

D

 or 

M

 

is selected, the vehicle moves even without 

the accelerator being pressed.

Never leave children inside the vehicle 

unsupervised.

As a safety measure, never leave the vehicle 

without taking your key or remote control with 

you, even for a short time.

When carrying out maintenance with the 

engine running, apply the parking brake and 

select position 

P

.

With an automatic gearbox, never try to 

start the engine by pushing the vehicle.

Automatic operation

►  Select position 

D

 for 

automatic

 

changing of the gears.

The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive 

mode, without any intervention on the part of the 

driver. It continuously selects the most suitable 

gear according to the driving style, the road 

profile and the load in the vehicle.
