MY CAR USER MANUAL

Driving for Your Citroen Berlingo SUV Third Generation (2018-2025)

Driving  
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!  
On flooded roads  
Driving recommendations  
6
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.  
► 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.  
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!  
If the vehicle absolutely must drive through a  
flooded section of road:  
Important!  
► Check that the depth of the water does not  
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that  
might be generated by other users.  
Never leave the engine running in a  
closed space without sufficient  
ventilation. Internal combustion engines emit  
toxic exhaust gases such as carbon  
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!  
► 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.  
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 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 drive with the parking brake  
applied. Risk of overheating and  
damaging the braking system!  
Never leave children inside the vehicle  
unsupervised.  
117  
Driving  
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.  
If a genuine CITROËN towing device is  
used, the rear parking sensors will be  
deactivated automatically to avoid the audible  
signal.  
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.  
When driving  
Cooling  
New vehicle: do not tow a trailer until the  
vehicle has driven at least 620 miles  
(1,000 kilometres).  
Towing a trailer uphill causes the coolant  
temperature to increase. The maximum towable  
load depends on the gradient and the exterior  
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.  
Cooling the traction battery  
The cooling fan comes on during  
charging to cool the on-board charger and the  
traction battery.  
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.  
On the inside  
Before setting off  
During use, you may hear certain perfectly  
normal noises specific to electric vehicles, such  
as:  
– Traction battery relay when starting.  
– Vacuum pump when braking.  
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.  
Brakes  
– Vehicle tyres or aerodynamics when driving.  
– Jolting and knocking noise during hill starts.  
Using the engine brake is recommended to limit  
the overheating of the brakes. Braking distances  
are increased when towing a trailer.  
Tyres  
Towing  
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing  
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the  
recommended pressures.  
Side wind  
Driving with a trailer places greater  
demands on the towing vehicle and  
particular care must be taken.  
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more  
susceptible to wind when towing.  
Lighting  
► Check the electrical signalling on the trailer  
and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.

Anti-theft protection  
6
The warning lamp does not come on if  
the engine is already warm. In some  
climatic conditions, the following  
recommendations should be followed:  
– In mild conditions, do not leave the engine  
at idle to warm up but move off straight away  
and drive at moderate speed.  
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.  
– Depending on version, if the air  
conditioning is activated and the exterior  
temperature exceeds 35 °C, the engine’s  
idle speed may increase, up to 1,300 rpm,  
depending on the cooling requirements.  
– In wintry conditions, the pre-heater warning  
lamp will stay on for a longer period after  
switching on the ignition; wait until it goes off  
before starting.  
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.  
1. Stop position.  
2. Ignition on position.

and the engine.  
– Depending on version, if the air  
conditioning is activated and when the  
exterior temperature exceeds 35°C, the idle  
engine speed can accelerate up to 1,300  
rpm depending on the air conditioning  
requirements.  
– In wintry conditions, when the ignition is  
switched on, the duration of lighting of the  
preheating indicator lamp is extended. Wait  
until it goes off before starting the engine.

If position N is selected inadvertently while  
driving, allow the engine to return to idle, then  
select position D to accelerate.  
The gearbox changes down automatically or  
holds the gear selected until the maximum  
engine speed is reached.  
When braking, the gearbox changes down  
automatically to provide effective engine braking.  
If you release the accelerator sharply, the  
gearbox will not shift to a higher gear for safety  
reasons.  
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.  
Starting the vehicle  
► With your foot on the brake, select  
position P.  
► Start the engine.  
If the conditions are not met, there is an audible  
signal, accompanied by a message on the  
instrument panel screen.  
► Release the parking brake, unless it is set to  
automatic mode (with electric parking brake).  
► Select position R, N or D.

Automatic operation may not always be  
suitable, and does not enable engine braking.  
In manual mode, there is no need to  
release the accelerator pedal while  
changing gear.  
Invalid value during manual  
operation  
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not  
engaged correctly (gear selector between  
two positions).  
Creeping (moving without  
using the accelerator)  
This function facilitates manoeuvring of the  
vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic  
jams, etc.).  
When the engine is at idle, with the parking  
brake released and gear position D, M or R  
selected, the vehicle begins to creep forward  
as soon as you take your foot off the brake pedal  
(even without pressing the accelerator).  
It is only possible to change from one  
gear to another if the vehicle speed and  
engine speed permit.  
If the engine speed is too low or too high,  
the selected gear flashes for a few  
seconds, then the gear actually engaged is  
shown.  
When the vehicle is stationary or moving very  
slowly, the gearbox automatically selects gear  
M1.  
► Place the selector "correctly" at a position.  
Switching off the vehicle  
Before switching off the engine, select position  
P then apply the parking brake to immobilise  
the vehicle, unless this is set to automatic mode  
(with electric parking brake).  
As a safety precaution, never leave the  
vehicle with the engine running and the  
doors closed.  
Check that mode P has been engaged and that  
the electric parking brake has been applied  
automatically; if not, apply it manually.  
The corresponding indicator lamps in the  
selector and the electric parking brake control  
lever must be on, as well as those on the  
instrument panel.  
To preserve the brakes while descending  
a steep incline, use engine braking to  
reduce your speed (change down or select a  
lower gear).  
Keeping the brake pedal pressed  
continuously for long periods can overheat  
the brakes, with the risk of damaging the  
braking system or making it inoperative.  
Only use the brakes when necessary, to slow  
or stop the vehicle.

This energy recovery also reduces use of the  
brake pads, thereby limiting their wear.  
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.

Reinitialisation  
► The system must be reinitialised after any  
adjustment to the pressure of one or more tyres,  
and after changing one or more wheels.  
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.  
The loss of pressure detected may not  
always cause visible deformation of the  
tyre.  
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.  
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  
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.  
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  
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.  
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.  
This system operates when the engine is  
running, and the settings are saved when  
the ignition is switched off.  
In humid and cold weather, demist the  
windscreen regularly.  
Manoeuvring aids  
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.  
The driver must always check the  
surroundings of the vehicle before and during  
the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the  
mirrors.  
Driving and manoeuvring  
aids - General  
Radar(s)  
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.  
recommendations  
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 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.  
Other cameras  
The images from the camera(s)  
displayed on the touch screen or on the  
instrument panel may be distorted by the  
terrain.  
139  
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.  
Maintenance  
Road signs recognition  
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.  
For more information, refer to the  
General recommendations on the use  
of driving and manoeuvring aids.  
Sensors  
Mats/Pedal trims  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.

– When motorcycles are present and  
when there are vehicles staggered across the  
traffic lane.  
– When entering a tunnel or crossing a  
bridge.  
Operating limits  
Cruise control operates by day and night, in dry  
weather or moderate rainfall.  
If any of the following malfunctions  
occurs, do not use the system:  
– Following an impact on the windscreen  
close to the camera.  
– When following a narrow vehicle.  
Reactivate the system when conditions allow.  
Situations in which the driver is prompted to  
immediately resume control:  
– Excessively sharp deceleration by the vehicle  
in front of you.  
Certain situations cannot be managed by the  
system and require driver intervention.  
Cases not taken into account by the system:  
– Pedestrians, cyclists, animals.  
– Stationary vehicles (e.g. traffic jams,  
breakdown).  
– Brake lamps not working.  
If the vehicle has undergone any of the  
following modifications, do not use the  
system:

– When a vehicle cuts in sharply between your  
vehicle and the one in front.  
– Vehicles crossing your lane.  
– Vehicles driving in the opposite direction.  
Situations where the driver must suspend the  
system:  
Some vehicles on the road may be  
poorly perceived or interpreted by the  
camera and/or the radar (e.g. truck), which  
can lead to an incorrect evaluation of  
distances and result in inappropriate  
acceleration or braking of the vehicle.  
Malfunction

You can memorise multiple speed settings for  
each of the two systems.  
By default, some speed settings are already  
memorised.  
The vehicle has a camera located at the top of  
the windscreen.  
For more information, refer to the  
General recommendations on the use  
of driving and manoeuvring aids.  
As a safety measure, the driver must only  
change speed settings when stationary.  
This system does not replace the need  
for vigilance on the part of the driver.  
This system is designed to assist the driver  
and improve road safety.  
It is the driver's responsibility to continuously  
monitor traffic conditions in accordance with  
applicable driving regulations.  
Changing a speed setting  
Speed settings can be activated,  
deactivated, selected and changed in the  
Driving / Vehicle touch screen menu.  
This system:  
– warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of  
collision with the vehicle in front.  
– reduces the vehicle's speed to avoid a  
collision or limit its severity.  
"MEM" button  
As soon as the system detects a  
potential obstacle, it prepares the braking  
circuit in case automatic braking is needed.  
This may cause a slight noise and a slight  
sensation of deceleration.  
The system also takes motorcyclists and  
animals into account; however, animals  
below 0.5 m tall and objects on the road are  
not necessarily detected.  
This system is comprised of three functions:

Stabilised speed on roads with few bends.  
In the following cases, deactivating the system  
via the vehicle's configuration menu is advised:  
– Towing a trailer.  
– Carrying long objects on roof bars or roof rack.  
– Vehicle with snow chains fitted.  
– Before using an automatic car wash, with the  
engine running.  
– When changing a wheel, working near a wheel  
or inside the engine compartment.  
– Before placing the vehicle on a rolling road in  
a workshop.  
– Towed vehicle, engine running.  
– Following an impact to the windscreen close to  
the detection camera.  
Following an impact, the system is  
automatically deactivated.  
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a  
qualified workshop.  
Where the speed of your vehicle is too  
high approaching another vehicle, the  
first level of alert may not be displayed: the  
level 2 alert may be displayed directly.  
Important: the level 1 alert is not displayed  
when there is a stationary obstacle or when  
the "Close" trigger threshold has been  
selected.  
Collision Risk Alert  
This function warns the driver that their vehicle  
is at risk of a collision with the vehicle in front or  
with a pedestrian present in their traffic lane.  
Operation  
Modifying the alert trigger threshold  
Depending on the degree of risk of collision  
detected by the system and the alert trigger  
threshold chosen by the driver, several different  
levels of alert may be triggered and displayed on  
the instrument panel.  
The system takes account of the vehicle  
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the one  
in front, the environmental conditions and the  
operation of the vehicle (actions on the pedals,  
steering wheel, etc.) to trigger the alert at the  
most relevant moment.  
This trigger threshold determines the sensitivity  
with which the function warns of the risk of  
collision.  
The threshold is set via  
theDriving/Vehicle touch screen  
menu.  
► Select one of the three pre-defined  
thresholds: "Far", "Normal" or "Close".  
The last threshold selected is memorised when  
the ignition is switched off.  
The system is automatically deactivated  
when the use of certain types of  
"space-saver" spare wheel (smaller diameter)  
is detected, or if a fault with the brake pedal  
switch or at least two brake lamps is detected.  
It can be dangerous to drive if the brake  
lamps are not in perfect working order.  
153  
Driving  
The speed will be reduced by a  
maximum of 16 mph (25 km/h) for  
versions with camera only, or by a maximum  
of 31 mph (50 km/h) for versions with camera  
and radar.  
The brake pedal may vibrate slightly  
while the function is operating.  
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,  
automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 2  
seconds.  
Intelligent emergency  
braking assistance (iEBA)  
This function supplements braking in the event  
that the driver brakes, but not enough to avoid a  
collision.  
This assistance will only be provided if the driver  
presses the brake pedal.  
Operation  
The system operates subject to the following  
conditions:  
– At reduced speed in an urban environment,  
when a pedestrian is detected.  
– At reduced speed in an urban environment,  
when a stationary vehicle is detected.  
– The vehicle's speed is between 6 mph and  
53 mph (10 km/h and 85 km/h) when a moving  
vehicle is detected.  
Deactivation/Activation  
By default, the system is automatically activated  
at every engine start.  
Active Safety Brake  
The settings are changed via  
the Driving/Vehicle touch screen  
menu.  
Deactivation of the system is signalled by  
the illumination of this warning lamp,  
accompanied by the display of a message.  
This warning lamp flashes (for  
Malfunction  
approximately 10 seconds) as soon as  
the function applies the vehicle’s brakes.  
With an automatic gearbox, in the event of  
automatic emergency braking bringing the  
vehicle to a complete stop, keep the brake pedal  
depressed to prevent the vehicle from moving  
off again.  
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 CITROËN dealer or a  
qualified workshop.  
If these warning lamps come on  
With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic  
emergency braking bringing the vehicle to a

system checked.  
These warning lamps light up on  
the instrument panel to indicate  
that the driver's and/or front passenger's seat  
belt is not fastened (depending on version). The  
This function, also called automatic emergency  
braking, intervenes following the alerts if the  
driver does not react quickly enough and does  
not operate the vehicle's brakes.  
The system aims to reduce the speed of impact  
or avoid a collision where the driver fails to react.  
The driver can maintain control of the  
vehicle at any time by firmly turning the  
steering wheel and/or firmly depressing the  
accelerator pedal.

The system helps the driver only if there  
is a risk of the vehicle unintentionally  
wandering from the lane it is being driven in. It  
does not manage the safe driving distance,  
vehicle speed or braking.  
Active lane departure  
warning system  
The driver must hold the steering wheel with  
both hands in a way that allows control to  
be maintained in circumstances where the  
system is not able to intervene (for example, if  
the central dividing line disappears).  
For more information, refer to the  
General recommendations on the use  
of driving and manoeuvring aids.  
While the direction indicators are activated and  
for a few seconds after switching them off, the  
system considers that a change of trajectory is  
intentional and no correction is triggered during  
this period.  
The system corrects the vehicle's trajectory by  
alerting the driver as soon as it detects a risk of  
involuntary lane departure or crossing of a verge  
or hard shoulder (depending on version).  
To do this, the system uses a camera, placed on  
the upper part of the windscreen, identifying the  
lane markings on the ground and the side of the  
road (depending on version).  
Operation  
If the system detects that the driver is not  
holding the wheel firmly enough during  
an automatic correction of trajectory, it  
interrupts the correction. An alert is triggered  
to encourage the driver to take back control of  
the vehicle.  
As soon as the system identifies a risk of  
involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings  
detected on the ground or a lane boundary  
(e.g. grass verge), it performs the trajectory  
correction necessary to restore the vehicle to its  
original lane.  
This system is particularly useful on  
motorways and main roads.  
The driver will notice a turning movement of the  
steering wheel.  
This warning lamp flashes during  
trajectory correction.  
The driver can prevent the correction by  
firmly holding the steering wheel  
(e.g. during an emergency manoeuvre).  
The correction is interrupted immediately if  
the direction indicators are operated.  
Operating conditions  
– Vehicle speed between 43 and 112 mph (70  
and 180 km/h).  
– Road marked with a central dividing line.  
– Steering wheel held in both hands.

– Lane markings worn, hidden (snow, mud)  
or multiple (roadworks, etc.),  
– Close proximity to the vehicle in front (lane  
markings may not be detected).  
– Roads that are narrow, winding.  
This system warns the driver of a potential  
danger posed by the presence of another vehicle  
(car, lorry, motorcycle) in the vehicle's blind  
spots (areas hidden from the driver's field of  
vision) using sensors located on the sides of the  
bumpers.  
► Press this button to deactivate/reactivate the  
system at any time.  
Deactivation is signalled by the lighting of  
the indicator lamp in the button and this  
warning lamp on the instrument panel.  
The system is automatically reactivated every  
time the ignition is switched on.  
Risk of undesirable operation  
The system should be deactivated in the  
following situations:  
– When changing a wheel or working near a  
wheel.  
– Towing or with a bicycle carrier on a towing  
device, especially with trailer not plugged in or  
not approved.  
– Road in poor condition, unstable or with very  
poor grip (risk of aquaplaning, snow, ice).  
– Adverse weather conditions.  
– Driving on racing circuits.

Malfunction  
If the event of a malfunction, this warning  
lamp lights up on the instrument panel,  
accompanied by the display of a message.  
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a  
qualified workshop.  
Operating conditions  
– All vehicles are moving in the same direction  
and in adjacent lanes.  
– The speed of your vehicle must be between 7  
and 87 mph (12 and 140 km/h).  
– When overtaking a vehicle, the speed  
difference is less than 6 mph (10 km/h).  
– When overtaken by a vehicle, the speed  
difference is less than 16 mph (25 km/h).  
– Traffic is flowing normally.  
– Overtaking a vehicle over a certain period of  
time and the vehicle being overtaken remains in  
the blind spot.  
The system may be temporarily disturbed  
by certain weather conditions (e.g. rain,  
hail).  
In particular, driving on a wet road or going  
from a dry to a wet area can cause false  
alerts (e.g. presence of a cloud of water  
droplets in the blind spot interpreted as a  
vehicle).  
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the  
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or snow.  
Take care not to cover the warning zone in  
the door mirrors, or the detection zones on  
the front and rear bumpers with adhesive

43 mph (70 km/h).  
This alert is issued via the display of a message  
encouraging the driver to take a break,  
accompanied by an audible signal.  
If the driver does not follow this advice, the alert  
is repeated hourly until the vehicle is stopped.  
The system resets itself if one of the following  
conditions is met:  
Distraction detection  
For more information, refer to the  
General recommendations on the use  
of driving and manoeuvring aids.  
– With the engine running, the vehicle has been

– The driver's seat belt is unfastened and their  
door is opened.  
Depending on version, the function consists of  
either the "Coffee Break Alert" system alone or  
combined with the "Driver Attention Warning"  
system.  
The system assesses the driver's level of  
alertness, fatigue and distraction by  
identifying trajectory changes in relation to the  
lane markings.  
To do this, the system uses a camera, placed on  
the upper part of the windscreen.  
This system is particularly suited to fast roads  
(speed higher than 43 mph (70 km/h)).  
At a first alert level, the driver is warned by the  
message "Be vigilant!", accompanied by an  
audible signal.  
These systems are in no way designed  
to keep the driver awake or to prevent  
the driver from falling asleep at the wheel.  
It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling  
tired.  
As soon as the speed of the vehicle  
drops below 43 mph (70 km/h), the  
system goes into standby.  
Driving time starts being counted again once  
the speed reaches above 43 mph (70 km/h).  
Take a break if you are feeling tired or at least  
every 2 hours.  
After three first-level alerts, the system triggers  
a further alert with the message "Dangerous  
driving: take a break", accompanied by a more  
pronounced audible signal.  
Driver Attention Warning  
Depending on version, the Coffee Break Alert  
system may be combined with the Driver  
Attention Warning system.

only the obstacles present in the shaded area  
will be signalled by the audible assistance.  
The proximity information is given by an  
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of  
which increases as the vehicle approaches the  
obstacle.  
When the distance between the vehicle and  
the obstacle becomes less than about thirty  
centimetres, the audible signal becomes  
continuous.  
This system detects and signals the proximity of  
obstacles (e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier)  
using sensors located in the bumper.  
In certain driving conditions (poor road  
surface or strong winds), the system may  
give alerts independent of the driver's level of  
vigilance.

Front parking sensors  
Supplementing the rear parking sensors, the  
front parking sensors are triggered when an  
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of the  
vehicle is below 6 mph (10 km/h).  
Objects memorised during the  
manoeuvre will no longer be stored after  
switching off the ignition.  
Front parking sensor operation is suspended if  
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds in  
forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer detected  
or the vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).  
The sound emitted by the speaker (front  
or rear) locates the obstacle relative to  
the vehicle, whether in front of or behind it on  
its path.  
The rear parking sensors system will be  
deactivated automatically if a trailer or

Principle of operation  
Rear view  
6
Using the rear camera, the vehicle's close  
surroundings are recorded during manoeuvres  
at low speed.  
An image from above your vehicle in its close  
surroundings is reconstructed (represented  
between the brackets) in real time and as the  
manoeuvre progresses.  
It facilitates the alignment of your vehicle when  
parking and allows obstacles close to the vehicle  
to be seen. It is automatically deleted if the  
vehicle remains stationary for too long.  
To activate the camera located on the tailgate,  
engage reverse gear and do not exceed a speed  
of 6 mph (10 km/h).  
The system is deactivated:  
– Automatically, at speeds above approximately  
6 mph (10 km/h),  
– Automatically, if the tailgate is opened.  
– Upon changing out of reverse gear (the image  
remains displayed for 7 seconds).  
– By pressing the white arrow in the upper-left  
corner of the touch screen.  
The screen is divided into two parts with a  
contextual view and a view from above the  
vehicle in its close surroundings.  
The parking sensors supplement the information  
on the view from above the vehicle.  
Various contextual views may be displayed:  
– Standard view.  
– 180° view.  
– Zoom view.  
AUTO mode is activated by default.  
In this mode, the system chooses the best view  
to display (standard or zoom).  
You can change the type of view at any time  
during a manoeuvre.  
The system status is not saved when the ignition  
is switched off.

180° view  
Zoom view  
This mode is activated by default.  
Using sensors in the rear bumper, the automatic  
view changes from the rear view (standard) to  
the view from above (zoom) as an obstacle is  
approached at the level of the red line (less than  
30 cm) during a manoeuvre.  
Standard view  
The camera records the vehicle's surroundings  
during the manoeuvre in order to create a  
view from above the rear of the vehicle in its  
near surroundings, allowing the vehicle to be  
manoeuvred around nearby obstacles.  
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the  
view selection menu.  
The 180° view facilitates reversing out of a  
parking space, making it possible to see the  
approach of vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.
