Eco-driving

Eco-driving Eco-driving refers to a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise the vehicle’s energy consumption (fuel and/or electricity) and CO2 emissions. Optimise your use of the gearbox With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up promptly. While accelerating, change up early. With an automatic gearbox, favour automatic mode. Do not depress the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly. The gear shift indicator prompts you to engage the most suitable gear. Whenever this indication is displayed on the instrument panel, follow it straight away. 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 gradually. These practices help to save on energy consumption, reduce CO2 emissions and decrease general traffic noise. When the traffic is flowing smoothly, select the cruise control.

Control the use of 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. At speeds above 31 mph (50 km/h), close the windows and leave the air vents open. Consider using equipment that can help keep the temperature in the passenger compartment down (e.g. sunroof blind, window blinds). Unless automatically regulated, switch off the air conditioning as soon as the desired temperature has been reached. Switch off the demisting and defrosting functions, if they are not managed automatically. Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible. Adapt your use of the headlamps and/or foglamps to the level of visibility, in accordance with current legislation in the country in which you are driving. Avoid running the engine before moving off, particularly in winter (other than in severe wintry conditions: temperature below -23C). The vehicle will warm up much faster while driving. As a passenger, avoid connecting your multimedia devices (e.g. film, music, video game) to help reduce the consumption of energy. Disconnect all portable devices before leaving the vehicle. Limit the causes of excess consumption Spread loads throughout the vehicle. Place the heaviest items in the boot as close as possible to the rear seats.

Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and minimise wind resistance (e.g. roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer). Preferably, use a roof box. Remove roof bars and roof racks after use. At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit summer tyres. Comply with the servicing instructions Check tyre pressures regularly, with the tyres cold, referring to the label in the door aperture on the 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. Do not forget the spare wheel and, where applicable, the tyres on your trailer or caravan. Have your vehicle serviced regularly (e.g. engine oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment filter, etc.). Observe the schedule of operations in the manufacturer’s service schedule. With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system has a fault, your vehicle will emit pollution. Visit a CITRON dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible to restore your vehicle’s nitrogen oxide emissions to legal levels. When filling the fuel tank, do not continue after the third cut-out of the nozzle, to avoid overflow. You will only see the fuel consumption of your new vehicle settle down to a consistent average after the first 1,900 miles (3,000 kilometres).

2B. Sunroof control

The sunroof or blind can be operated when the ignition is turned on (if the battery is charged enough), with the engine running, in STOP mode of Stop & Start, and up to 45 seconds after turning off the ignition or after locking the vehicle. Precautions

Do not put your head or arms through the sunroof while the vehicle is moving — risk

of serious injury!

Ensure that any luggage or accessories carried on the roof bars do not interfere

with the movement of the sunroof. Do not place heavy loads on the movable glass panel of the sunroof.

If the sunroof is wet, following a rain shower or washing the vehicle, wait until

it is completely dry before operating it. Do not operate the sunroof if it is covered by snow or ice — risk of damage! Use only plastic scrapers to remove snow or ice from the sunroof.

Regularly check the condition of the sunroof seals (e.g. presence of dust,

dead leaves). If using a car wash, check first that the roof is correctly closed and keep the high-pressure jet at least 30 centimetres from the seals.

Never leave the vehicle with the sunroof open.

Operation When opening the sunroof fully, the movable glass moves to a partially open position, then slides over the roof. Any intermediate position is possible.

Depending on the speed of the vehicle, the partially open position may vary to

improve the acoustics.

Before operating the sunroof or blind control buttons, ensure that no object or

person might prevent the movement. Be particularly aware of children when operating the sunroof or blind. If something is trapped when operating the sunroof or blind, you should reverse the movement of the sunroof or blind by pressing the control in question. The driver must ensure that passengers use the sunroof and blind correctly.

Anti-pinch system If the sunroof or blind encounters an obstacle when closing, the movement is automatically reversed. The roof anti-pinch system is designed to be effective at speeds of up to 75 mph (120 km/h). Opening/Closing To open the sunroof or the blind, use the part of the button located towards the rear of the vehicle. To close the sunroof or the blind, use the part of the button located towards the front of the vehicle. Operation of buttons Pressing a button beyond its point of resistance directly opens or closes the sunroof or blind fully. Pressing the button again stops the current movement. When holding a button (without going beyond the point of resistance), the movement of the sunroof or blind stops when this button is released. When the sunroof is closed: pressing once without passing the point of resistance moves it to a partially open position. When the sunroof is partially open: pressing once without passing the point of resistance opens or closes it fully.

Advice Using the ventilation and air conditioning system

To ensure that air is distributed evenly, keep the external air intake grilles at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents, the air outlets and the air extractor in the boot free from obstructions. Do not cover the sunshine sensor located on the dashboard; this sensor is used to regulate the automatic air conditioning system.

Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to keep it in good working order. If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITRON dealer or a qualified workshop. When towing a large load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the air conditioning increases the available engine power, enhancing the towing capacity.

Avoid driving for too long with the ventilation off or with prolonged operation

of interior air recirculation. Risk of misting and deterioration of the air quality!

If the interior temperature is very high after the vehicle has stood for a long

time in the sunshine, air 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.

Condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of

water underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly normal.

Servicing the ventilation and air conditioning system

Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly. We recommend using a composite passenger compartment filter. Its specific active additive helps protect against polluting gases and bad smells. To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, have it checked according to the recommendations in the Manufacturers service schedule.

Electronic stability control (ESC) The electronic stability control programme includes the following systems: Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic brake force distribution (EBFD). Emergency braking assistance (EBA). Anti-slip regulation (ASR). Dynamic stability control (DSC).

Anti-lock braking system (ABS)/Electronic brake force distribution (EBFD) These systems enhance the vehicles stability and handling during braking, and enable greater control while cornering, particularly on poor or slippery road surfaces. ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of emergency braking. Electronic brake force distribution (EBFD) manages overall braking pressure on each individual wheel. When braking in an emergency, depress the pedal very firmly and maintain this pressure.

Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake

pedal.

The fixed illumination of this warning lamp signals that there is a fault with the ABS.

Safety

5Electronic stability control (ESC) The electronic stability control programme includes the following systems: Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic brake force distribution (EBFD). Emergency braking assistance (EBA). Anti-slip regulation (ASR). Dynamic stability control (DSC).

Anti-lock braking system (ABS)/Electronic brake force distribution (EBFD) These systems enhance the vehicles stability and handling during braking, and enable greater control while cornering, particularly on poor or slippery road surfaces. ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of emergency braking. Electronic brake force distribution (EBFD) manages overall braking pressure on each individual wheel. When braking in an emergency, depress the pedal very firmly and maintain this pressure.

Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake

pedal.

The fixed illumination of this warning lamp signals that there is a fault with the ABS.

The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive carefully at a moderate speed. Have it checked by a CITRON dealer or a qualified workshop.

This warning lamp, when lit together with the STOP and ABS warning lamps,

accompanied by a message and an audible signal, indicates an EBFD malfunction. You must stop the vehicle. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and switch off the ignition. Contact a CITRON dealer or a qualified workshop.

When changing wheels (tyres and rims), ensure that these are approved for your

vehicle.

After an impact Have it checked by a CITRON dealer or

a qualified workshop.

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 in relation 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 braking efficiency.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR) / Dynamic stability control (DSC) Anti-slip regulation (or traction control) optimises traction by using engine braking and by applying the brakes on the driving wheels to avoid one or more wheels spinning. It also enhances the vehicle’s directional stability. If there is a difference between the vehicles trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the dynamic stability control system automatically uses engine braking and the brakes on one or more wheels to return the vehicle to the desired path, within the limits of the laws of physics. These systems are activated automatically every time the vehicle is started.

These systems are activated in the event of a problem with grip or trajectory

(confirmed by this warning lamp flashing on the instrument panel).

Deactivation/Reactivation 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. Reactivate the system as soon as the level of grip permits.

The settings are changed via the Driving/ Vehicle touch screen menu.

68

Safety

Or, depending on version, turn the «Grip control» knob to this position. Deactivation is confirmed by the lighting of this indicator lamp on the instrument

panel and the display of a message. The ASR system is reactivated automatically every time the ignition is switched on or at speeds over 31 mph (50 km/h). Reactivation is manual below 31 mph (50 km/h).

Malfunction In the event of a malfunction, this warning lamp lights up on the instrument panel,

accompanied by the display of a message and an audible signal. Have it checked by a CITRON dealer or a qualified workshop.

ASR/DSC These systems enhance safety during

normal driving, but should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed. It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain, snow, ice) that the risk of loss of grip increases. It is therefore important for your safety to keep these systems activated in all conditions, and particularly in difficult conditions. Correct operation of these systems depends on compliance with the manufacturer’s recommendations relating to the wheels (tyres and rims), braking and electronic components, as well as the assembly and

repair procedures provided by CITRON dealers. In order to ensure that these systems remain effective in wintry conditions, the use of snow or all-season tyres is recommended. All four wheels must be fitted with tyres approved for your vehicle. All tyre specifications are listed on the tyre/paint label. For more information on Identification markings, refer to the corresponding section.

Grip control (Depending on version) A special, patented traction control system, which improves driveability on snow, mud and sand. This system, optimised for operation in a range of conditions, enables you to manoeuvre in most slippery conditions (encountered during normal passenger car use). When combined with all-season Peak Mountain Snow Flake tyres, this system offers a compromise between safety, grip and driveability. The accelerator pedal should be pressed sufficiently to allow the system to harness the power of the engine. Operation at high engine speeds is completely normal. A five-position selector knob allows you to choose the setting best suited to the driving conditions encountered.

An indicator lamp associated with each mode comes on, accompanied by the display of a message to confirm your choice.

Operating modes

Standard (ESC) This mode is calibrated for a low level of wheel spin, based on the different levels

of grip normally encountered on the road.

Whenever the ignition is switched off, the system automatically resets to this mode.

Snow This mode adapts its strategy to the conditions of grip encountered for each of

the two front wheels on moving off. (mode active up to 50 mph (80 km/h))

All terrain (mud, damp grass, etc.)

This mode, when moving off, allows considerable spin on the wheel with the

least grip to optimise clearing of the mud and to regain grip. At the same time, the wheel with the most grip is controlled in such a way as to transmit as much torque as possible. When moving, the system optimises wheel spin to respond to the driver’s requirements as fully as possible. (mode active up to 31 mph (50 km/h))

Sand This mode allows little spin on the two driving wheels at the same time to allow

the vehicle to move forward and limit the risks of getting stuck in the sand. (mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))

Do not use the other modes on sand as the vehicle may become stuck.

You can deactivate the ASR and DSC systems by turning the knob to the «OFF«

position.

The ASR and DSC systems will no longer act on the operation of the engine

Recommendations The vehicle is designed principally

to drive on tarmac roads, but it may occassionally drive on other less passable terrain. However, it does not permit off-road driving: Driving on terrain that can damage the underbody or tear off elements (e.g. fuel pipe, fuel cooler) by obstacles or stones in particular. Driving on terrain with steep gradients and poor grip. Crossing a waterway.

Hill Assist Descent Control Hill Assist Descent Control system for medium to steep slopes, on tarmac or other road surfaces (e.g. gravel, mud). This system reduces the risk of slip or loss of control of the vehicle when descending, whether going forward or in reverse. During a descent, the system assists the driver in maintaining a constant speed, depending on

the gear engaged, while progressively releasing the brakes.

For the system to activate, the gradient must be greater than 5%.

The system can be used with the gearbox in neutral. Otherwise, engage a gear corresponding to the speed to prevent the engine stalling. With an automatic gearbox, the system can be used with the selector at N, D or R.

When the system is regulating, the Active Safety Brake system is automatically

deactivated.

Operation Switching on By default, the system is not selected. The state of the function is not saved when the ignition is switched off.

To select the system, at speeds below 31 mph (50 km/h), press this button until

70

Safety

its lamp lights up; this indicator lamp appears in green on the instrument panel. The system becomes active at speeds below 19 mph (30 km/h). When the vehicle begins its descent, the driver can release the accelerator and brake pedals; the system regulates the speed:

If the gearbox is in first or second gear, the speed decreases and the

indicator lamp flashes rapidly. If the gearbox is in neutral or if the clutch pedal is depressed, the speed decreases and the indicator lamp flashes slowly; in this case, the maintained descent speed is lower. On a downward slope, with the vehicle stationary, if the driver releases the accelerator and brake pedals, the system will release the brakes to set the vehicle gradually in motion. The brake lamps light up automatically when the system is regulating. If the speed exceeds 19 mph (30 km/h), regulation is paused automatically, the indicator lamp goes back to grey in the instrument panel, but the green indicator lamp in the button remains on. Regulation resumes automatically when the speed falls below 19 mph (30 km/h) again, if the slope and pedal release conditions are met. You can depress the accelerator or brake pedal again at any time.

Switching off

Press this button until its indicator lamp goes off; the indicator lamp also goes off in the instrument panel. Above 43 mph (70 km/h), the system is automatically deactivated; the indicator lamp in the button goes off.

Malfunction If a fault occurs with the system, this warning lamp comes on in green,

accompanied by the display of a message in the instrument panel. Have it checked by a CITRON dealer or a qualified workshop.

Seat belts Inertia reel The seat belts are equipped with an inertia reel which allows the strap length to adjust automatically to the shape of the user. The seat belt returns to its storage automatically when it is not used.

The inertia reels are fitted with a device which automatically locks the strap in the event of a collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls over. It can be released by pulling the strap firmly and then releasing it so that it reels in slightly. Pyrotechnic pretensioning This system improves safety in the event of a frontal or side impact. Depending on the severity of the impact, the pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat belts against the body of the occupants. The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are enabled when the ignition is on. Force limiting system This system reduces the pressure of the seat belt on the chest of the occupant, thus improving their protection.

In the event of an impact Depending on the nature and

seriousness of the impacts, the pyrotechnic device may trigger before and independently of airbag deployment. 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 belt system checked, and if necessary replaced,

by a CITRON dealer or a qualified workshop.

If the corresponding seat belt is not fastened or is unfastened, when the ignition is switched on, the seat belts warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel and the corresponding warning lamp (1 to 5) comes on in red in the seat belt and front passenger airbag warning lamps display.

If a rear seat belt is not fastened, the corresponding warning lamp (3 to 5)

comes on for around 30 seconds.

Above about 12 mph (20 km/h) and for 2 minutes, each warning lamp corresponding to an occupied seat whose seat belt is unfastened flashes, accompanied by an audible signal. After these 2 minutes, the corresponding seat warning lamp remains on until the driver or the front/rear passenger fasten their seat belt.

Advice The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly and that they

are all fastened before setting off. Wherever seated in the vehicle, you must always fasten the seat belt, even for short journeys. Do not invert the seat belt buckles, as they will not fulfil their role properly. To ensure the proper functioning of the belt buckles, make sure that there are no foreign bodies present (e.g. a coin) before fastening. Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt is reeled in correctly. After folding or moving a seat or rear bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned and reeled in correctly.

Installation The lower part of the strap must be

positioned as low as possible over the pelvis. The upper part must be positioned in the hollow of the shoulder. At the front, adjusting the position of the seat belt may require the seat height to be adjusted. 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 is not twisted. must only be used to secure one person.

Recommendations for children Use a suitable child seat if the passenger

is less than 12 years old or shorter than 1.5 metres. Never use the same seat belt to secure more than one child. Never carry a child on your lap. For more information on Child seats, refer to the corresponding section.

Maintenance In accordance with current safety

regulations, for all work on your vehicle’s seat belts, contact a qualified workshop with the skills and equipment needed, which a CITRON dealer is able to provide. Have the seat belts checked regularly by a CITRON 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 CITRON dealers.

Airbags General information This system is designed to improve the safety of the occupants of the front seats and the rear outer seats in the event of a violent collision. The airbags supplement the action of the seat belts equipped with a force limiting system. Electronic detectors record and analyse the front and side impacts sustained in the impact detection zones: In the event of violent impact, the airbags deploy instantly and help better protect the occupants of the vehicle; immediately after the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly in order not to hinder the visibility or the possible exit of the occupants. In the event of a slight impact, a rear impact and under certain rollover conditions, the airbags may not deploy; only the seat belt helps to protect you in these situations. The seriousness of the impact depends on the nature of the obstacle and the speed of the vehicle at the moment of collision.

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.

Impact detection zones

A. Front impact zone B. Side impact zone

When one or more airbags are deployed, the detonation of the pyrotechnic charge

incorporated in the system makes a noise and releases a small quantity of smoke. This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive individuals may experience irritation. The detonation noise associated with the deployment of one or more airbags may result in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.

74

Safety

Front airbags

This system protects the driver and front passenger in the event of a serious front impact, limiting the risk of head and chest injury. The driver’s airbag is fitted in the centre of the steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

Deployment They deploy, except the front passenger airbag if it is deactivated*, in the event of a serious front impact to all or part of the front impact zone A. 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.

* For more information on Deactivating the front passenger airbag, refer to the corresponding section.

Lateral airbags

In the event of a serious side impact, this system protects the driver and front passenger to mitigate the risk of injury to the chest, between the hip and the shoulder. Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest frame, on the door side.

Deployment The lateral airbags are deployed on one side in the event of a serious side impact applied to all or part of the side impact zone B. The lateral airbag inflates between the chest of the vehicle’s occupant and the corresponding door panel.

Curtain airbags This system helps provide 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.

Deployment It deploys simultaneously with the corresponding lateral airbag in the event of a serious side impact applied to all or part of the side impact zone B. The curtain airbag inflates between the front and rear occupants of the vehicle and the corresponding windows.

Malfunction In the event of a malfunction, this warning lamp lights up on the instrument panel.

Contact a CITRON dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked. The airbags may not be deployed in the event of a serious impact.

In the event of a minor impact or bump at 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 are deployed.

Advice For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the safety recommendations

below. Adopt a normal and upright sitting position. Fasten your seat belt and position it correctly. Do not place anything between the occupants and the airbags (e.g. child, animal, object), do not fix or attach anything near or in the path of the airbags, as this could cause injuries when they are deployed. Never modify the original definition of the vehicle, particularly in the area directly around the airbags. Even if all of the precautions mentioned are observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns to the head, chest or arms cannot be ruled out when an airbag is deployed. 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. After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen, have the airbag systems checked. All work must be carried out only by a CITRON dealer or a qualified workshop

Front airbags Do not drive holding the steering wheel

by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre part of the wheel.

Lateral airbags Use only approved seat covers

compatible with the deployment of these airbags. For information on the range of seat covers suitable for your vehicle, contact a CITRON dealer. Do not fix or attach anything to the seat backrests (e.g. clothing) as this could cause injuries to the chest or arm when the airbag is deployed. Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary. 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! All work must be carried out only by a CITRON dealer or a qualified workshop

Curtain airbags Do not fix or attach anything to the roof,

as this could cause head injuries when the curtain airbag is deployed. Do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof.

Child seats The regulations on carrying children are specific to each country. Refer to the

legislation in force in your country.

For maximum safety, please observe the following recommendations: In accordance with European regulations, all children under the age of 12 or less than 1,5 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. Children weighing less than 9 kg must travel in the «rearward facing» position, whether in the front or rear of the vehicle.

It is recommended that children travel on the rear seats of the vehicle:

rearward facing up to the age of 3, forward facing over the age of 3.

76

Safety

Make sure that the seat belt is correctly positioned and tightened.

For child seats with a support leg, ensure that the support leg is in firm and steady contact with the floor.

Advice An incorrectly installed child seat in a vehicle compromises the child’s safety 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 harness 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 vehicle seat. If the passenger seat is adjustable, move it forwards if necessary. Remove the head restraint before installing a child seat with a backrest on 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 once the child seat has been 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. Use a booster seat with a backrest, equipped with a belt guide at shoulder level.

Additional protections 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. As a safety measure, do not leave: a child alone and unsupervised inside 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.

Child seat at the rear Forward-facing or rearward-facing

Move the vehicle’s front seat forward and straighten the backrest so that the legs of the child in the forward-facing or rearward-facing child seat itself do not touch the vehicle’s front seat. Check that the backrest of the forward-facing child seat is as close as possible to the backrest of the vehicle’s rear seat, and ideally in contact with it.

Centre rear seat A child seat with a support leg must never be installed on the centre rear passenger seat.

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.

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 -23C), 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!

Do not park the vehicle or 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 (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.

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 CITRON dealer or a qualified workshop.

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 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.

Before setting off Nose weight Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are 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 CITRON towing device is used, the rear parking sensors will be

deactivated automatically to avoid 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 temperature. The fans 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 keys contain a code, which must be recognised by the vehicle before starting is possible. If the system malfunctions, indicated by the display of a message, the engine will not start. Contact a CITRON dealer.

For safety and theft protection reasons, never leave the electronic key in the

vehicle, even when you are close to it.

Starting / Switching off the engine with the key Key ignition switch

It has 3 positions: 1. Stop

Inserting/removing the key, steering column locked.

2. Ignition on Steering column unlocked, ignition on, preheating (Diesel), switching the engine on.

3. Starting

Avoid attaching heavy objects to the key or the remote control. This would weigh

down on its shaft in the ignition switch and could cause a malfunction.

Ignition on position It allows the use of the vehicle’s electric equipment or the charging of accessories. 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.

Starting the engine With the parking brake applied: With a manual gearbox, place the gear lever in neutral then fully depress the clutch pedal. With an automatic gearbox, place the gear selector in mode N or P then depress the brake pedal. Insert the key into the ignition switch; the system recognises the code. Unlock the steering column by simultaneously turning the steering wheel and the key.

In certain cases, you may need to apply significant force to move the steering

wheel (e.g. wheels turned to full lock).

With a petrol engine, operate the starter motor by turning the key to position 3 without pressing the accelerator pedal, until the engine starts. Once the engine has started, release the key and allow it to return to position 2.

Petrol engines After a cold start, preheating the catalytic

Malfunction In the event of a malfunction, this warning lamp comes on and a message is

displayed, when the ignition is switched on. In this case, the gearbox goes into back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel a significant jolt (without risk to the gearbox) when changing from P to R and from N to R. Do not exceed 62 mph (100 km/h), local speed restrictions permitting.

Have the system checked by a CITRON dealer or a qualified workshop.

There is a risk of damaging the gearbox: If the accelerator and brake pedals are

depressed simultaneously. In the event of a battery failure, forcing the selector from position P to another position.

Automatic gearbox Never try to start the engine by pushing

the vehicle.

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 systems 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 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.

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 drivers door is closed.

Do not leave the vehicle while it is being held temporarily by hill start assist.

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 drivers 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.

Snow chains The system does not have to be

reinitialised after fitting or removing snow chains.

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.

The reinitialisation of the system is done with the ignition on and the vehicle stationary: Via the vehicle configuration menu for vehicles fitted with a touch screen. Via the button on the dashboard for vehicles without a touch screen.

With/Without audio system

Press and hold this button. Reinitialisation is confirmed by a high-pitched audible signal. A low-pitched audible signal indicates that the reinitialisation operation has not been successful.

With touch screen In the menu Driving / Vehicle, select the tab «Driving functions«, then «Reset

under-inflation detection«. Select «Yes» to confirm. The reinitialisation is confirmed by the display of a message and an audible signal.

Malfunction In the event of a malfunction, these warning lamps light up on

the instrument panel. A message appears, accompanied by an audible signal. In this case, the tyre under-inflation monitoring function is no longer performed.

Have it checked by a CITRON dealer or a qualified workshop.

«Space-saver» type 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 same as the others), the pressure readjusted and the reinitialisation carried out.

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.

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 CITRON 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. 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.

98

Driving

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 CITRON 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 CITRON dealer or a qualified workshop.

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. C. If your vehicle is suitably equipped, automatic

emergency braking alerts and navigation instructions.

D. If your vehicle is suitably equipped, speed limit information.

For more information on Navigation, refer to the section Audio equipment

and telematics.

When stationary or while driving, no objects should be placed around the

projection blade (or in its recess) so as not to impede its movement and correct operation.

In certain extreme weather conditions (rain and/or snow, bright sunshine, etc.),

the head-up display may not be legible or may suffer temporary interference. Some sunglasses may hamper reading of the 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.

Memorising speeds This function, used only for the speed limiter and programmable cruise control, lets you save speed settings that will subsequently be proposed for the purpose of configuring these two systems. You can memorise multiple speed settings for each of the two systems. By default, some speed settings are already memorised.

As a safety measure, the driver must only change speed settings when stationary.

Changing a speed setting Speed settings can be activated, deactivated, selected and changed in the

Driving / Vehicle touch screen menu.
