INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS
When the engine is running or the vehi-
cle is moving, the lighting of one of the
following warning lights indicates the
occurrence of a fault requiring interven-
tion on the part of the driver.
Central alert.
Lighting is associated with
the displaying of another
warning light:
- braking,
- power steering,
- engine oil pressure,
- coolant temperature,
stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so. Service.
If this comes on, it indicates
the occurrence of a problem
in one of the systems which
d o e s n o t h a v e a s p e c i fi c
warning light.
In order to identify it, consult the mes-
sage on the multifunction display.
Check:
- the engine oil level,
- t h e s c r e e n w a s h fl u i d l e v e l ,
- the remote control battery,
- the condition of the bulbs.
For any other situations, contact a
CITROËN dealer.
The illumination of this warning light
may also indicate that the (Diesel) par-
t i c l e fi l t e r i s s t a r t i n g t o g e t c l o g g e d u p ,
d u e t o s p e c i fi c e x t e n d e d u r b a n d r i v i n g

allow, at a speed of 40 mph (60 km/h)
or above for at least 5 minutes (until the
warning light goes out). Braking.
If this comes on, it indicates the
occurrence of a fault in one of
the braking systems:
- s i g n i fi c a n t d r o p i n t h e l e v e l i n t h e c i r - cuit,
- electronic brake force distribution (EBFD) faulty (simultaneous lighting
of the ABS warning light),
stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so.
When the vehicle is moving, check that
the handbrake is fully released.
Any fault resulting in the displaying
of a warning light must be the sub-
ject of further diagnostics by read-
ing the associated message on the
multifunction display.
Should you encounter any prob-
lems, do not hesitate to contact a
CITROËN dealer.
Warning lights

If this comes on, it indicates the
occurrence of a fault in the anti-
lock braking system.

The ESP/ASR system is put
into service automatically when
the vehicle is started.
Unless the system has been deactivated,

COMFORT
When the engine is cold, to prevent
too great a distribution of cold air,
t h e a i r fl o w w i l l r e a c h i t s o p t i m u m
level gradually.
In cold weather, it favours the distri-
bution of warm air to the windscreen,
side windows and footwells only.
On entering the vehicle, if the
interior temperature is much colder
or warmer than the comfort value,
there is no need to change the value
displayed in order to obtain the com-
fort required. The system corrects
the difference in temperature auto-
matically and as quickly as possible.
The air conditioning only operates when
the engine is running. The driver and his front pas-
senger can each adjust the
temperature to their require-
ments.
Turn control 2 or 3 to the left or to
the right respectively to decrease or
increase this value.
A setting around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However, depending
on your requirements, a setting between
18 and 24 is normal.
You are advised to avoid a left/right
setting difference of more than 3. 4. Automatic visibility programme
The automatic comfort pro-
g r a m m e m a y n o t b e s u f fi c i e n t
to quickly demist or de-ice the
windscreen and side windows
(humidity, several passen-
gers, ice, etc.).
In this case, select the automatic
visibility programme.
The system automatically controls the
a i r c o n d i t i o n i n g , t h e a i r fl o w a n d t h e a i r
intake and provides optimum distribu-
tion of the ventilation to the windscreen
and side windows.
Automatic operation

The indicator light on the
button comes on. 2 . D r i v e r ’ s s i d e a d j u s t m e n t
DUAL ZONE AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING
We recommend the use of this mode:
it permits automatic and optimised
adjustment of all of the functions, pas-
senger compartment temperature, air
fl o w , a i r d i s t r i b u t i o n a n d a i r r e c i r c u l a -
tion, in accordance with the comfort
value that you have chosen.
This system is designed to operate
effectively in all seasons, with the win-
dows closed. The value indicated on the display cor-
responds to a level of comfort and not
to a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.
To switch it off, press the "visibility"
button again or press the "AUTO"
button, the indicator light on the but-
ton switches off and the indicator
light on the "AUTO" button comes on.
