The recirculation of interior air
(control 4 to the left) enables
you to isolate the passenger
compartment from exterior
odours and smoke. 5. Air distribution adjustment
Windscreen and side win-
dows.
The air distribution can be ad-
justed by placing the control
in an intermediate position. Windscreen, side windows
and footwells.
Footwells, diffusion grille and
side vents.
Diffusion grille and side
vents. 6. Rear screen demisting
As soon as possible, move control
4 to the right to the "Intake of exte-
rior air" position to avoid the risks of
deterioration of the air quality and
misting of the windscreen and side
windows. The intake of exterior air (con-
trol
4 to the right) enables you
to prevent and eliminate mist-
ing of the windscreen and
side windows. With the engine running,
press button
6 , the indica-
tor light comes on.
The system demists the
rear screen.
It is switched off by pressing control 6 .
In a humid climate, use of the
air recirculation may cause
misting of the windows. Switch the system off as
soon as you consider this
necessary as a lower con-
sumption of current reduces
fuel consumption.
De-icing and demisting
To quickly de-ice or demist the wind-
screen and side windows:
- set the air distribution to "Wind- screen and side windows",
- place the temperature control 2
a n d t h e a i r fl o w c o n t r o l 3 at maxi-
mum,
- close the side vents,
- place the air intake control 4 in
the "Air intake" position,
- switch on the air conditioning by pressing button 1 .

ACCESS
IMMOBILISER
This locks the engine control system
as soon as the ignition has been
switched off and therefore prevents
starting of the vehicle by anyone who
does not have the key.
The ignition key has an electronic
chip which has a special code. When
the ignition is switched on, the code
must be recognised for starting to be
possible.
In the event of a malfunction, your
vehicle will not start.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Changing the remote control
battery
To change the battery, remove the
screw then unclip the housing using
a coin inserted at the ring.
Battery CR2016/3 volts.
If the remote control does not work
after the battery has been changed,
reprogramme it.
Reprogramming the remote
control
Following replacement of the remote
control battery or in the event of a
remote control malfunction, it may
be necessary to reprogramme the
system.
Switch off the ignition.
Switch the ignition on again.
Press one of the remote control
buttons immediately for a few
seconds.
Switch off the ignition and remove
the key from the ignition lock.
The remote control is now working
again.
If the malfunction persists, contact a
CITROËN dealer. Driving with the doors locked
may make access to the
passenger compartment by
the emergency services more
d i f fi c u l t i n a n e m e r g e n c y .
As a safety measure (with children
on board), remove the key from the
ignition when leaving the vehicle,
even for a short time.
D o n o t m a k e a n y m o d i fi c a t i o n s t o t h e
electronic immobiliser system.
Do not discard the remote
control batteries, they contain
metals which are harmful to
the environment.
Take them to a CITROËN dealership,
or to any other approved collection
point. The high frequency remote control is
a sensitive system; do not operate it
in your pockets as there is a risk that
it may unlock the vehicle without you
being aware of this.
Avoid pressing the buttons of your
remote control out of range of
your vehicle, you risk rendering it
inoperative. It would then have to be
reprogrammed.

SAFETY When this warning light
comes on, it indicates that
there is a malfunction of the
ABS, which can cause a
loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
When these warn-
ing lights come on
s i m u l t a n e o u s l y,
it indicates that
there is a malfunc-
tion of the braking system or that the
handbrake has not been released
fully, which can cause a loss of con-
trol of the vehicle when braking.
Stop immediately.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Normal operation of the ABS
may make itself felt by slight
vibrations of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking,
p r e s s v e r y fi r m l y w i t h o u t
releasing the pressure. TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)
These systems are linked and sup-
plement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to
prevent the wheels skidding, by act-
ing on the brakes of the driving wheels
and on the engine. It also allows the
directional stability of the vehicle to
be improved on acceleration.
If there is a variation between the tra-
jectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESP
system automatically acts on the
brake of one or more wheels and on
the engine to put the vehicle back on
course, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
Operating check
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems When one of these two
systems is operating, this
warning light comes on. When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, this warning
light comes on.
The ASR/ESP systems offer
exceptional safety during nor-
mal driving, but this should not
encourage the driver to take
extra risks or drive at high speed.
Correct operation of these systems
depends on observation of the man-
ufacturer’s recommendations re-
garding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components and the
electronic components as well as the
CITROËN assembly and operation
procedures.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Activation of the ESP system is also
accompanied by an audible signal. Contact a CITROËN dealer to have
the systems checked.
