FRONT AND REAR FOGLAMPS (Ring A)
In foggy conditions, if the ambient brightness is not such as to activate the automatic lighting, it is up to you to switch on your dipped beams manually, along with your foglamps as necessary.
These operate in conjunction with the sidelamps, the dipped beams or the main beams.
Headlamps adjustment
Depending on the vehicle load, it is recommended that you correct the height of your headlamp beams.
On the dashboard beside the driver :
0 Unladen
1 Partial load
2 Medium load
3 Full load.
Note : Vehicles equipped with Xenon dual-function directional headlamps have an automatic adjustment of headlamps depending on load.
For a vehicle equipped with rear foglamps :
- 1st turn forwards : lighting of rear foglamps.
- 1st turn rearwards: extinction of rear foglamps.
For a vehicle equipped with front and rear foglamps:
- 1st turn forwards: lighting of front foglamps.
- 2nd turn forwards: lighting of rear foglamps.
- 1st turn rearwards: extinction of rear foglamps.
- 2nd turn rearwards: extinction of front foglamps.
Note : Foglamps should be used only in conditions of fog or snowfall.
GUIDE-ME-HOME LIGHTING
With the ignition off, this func-tion temporarily switches on your headlamps to give you exterior lighting when you are leaving your vehicle.

Sensors
The automatic regulation of the air conditioning inside the cabin uses a number of sensors that relieve you of the need to make adjust-ments outside the displayed tem-perature.
Be careful not to obstruct the sun-light sensor located on the dash-board.
Air inlet
Check that the exterior grille for the air inlet, at the bottom of the windscreen, is clean and free of dead leaves, snow, etc.
Air vents
The air vents to the face have grilles and thumbwheels so that you can a d j u s t t h e a i r fl o w a n d d i r e c t i o n (up-down, right-left).
Air circulation
A i r v e n t s o n t h e fl o o r u n d e r n e a t h the front seats provide enhanced heating for the rear seat positions : take care not to obstruct them.
D u s t fi l t e r / o d o u r fi l t e r (active carbon)
T h e r e i s a fi l t e r f o r e x c l u d i n g o d o u r s and dust.
T h i s fi l t e r h a s t o b e c h a n g e d i n accordance with the vehicle main-tenance schedule (see the Main-tenance Guide).
Air conditioning
To ensure that your system oper-ates correctly, it is recommended to have it checked regularly.
Water arising from condensation in the air conditioning drains away through a hole provided for this purpose. A pool of water may thus form under the vehicle when sta-tionary.
To keep the air conditioning com-pressor well sealed, it is essential to operate the air conditioning at least once in every month.
To be effective, the air condition-ing should only be used with the windows closed.
If after a lengthy stop in bright sunlight the interior temperature is excessive, ventilate the passen-ger compartment by opening the windows for a few moments, then close them again.
The air conditioning operates by using power from the engine. This results in a slight increase in fuel consumption.

The puncture repair kit is a complete system including a compressor and a setting product.
It allows you to temporarily repair the tyre, to enable you to drive to your nearest garage.
Depending on model, it is located either in the boot well or in the compartment under the left hand second-row passenger (open the fl a p b y t u r n i n g t h e s c r e w a q u a r t e r turn).
Using the puncture repair kit
1. A f fi x a s p e e d l i m i t s t i c k e r o n the affected wheel, and one on the steering wheel, to re-mind you that you are driving w i t h a w h e e l t h a t i s o n l y fi t f o r temporary use.
2. C l i p t h e fl a s k 1 on the com-pressor 2.
3. C o n n e c t t h e fl a s k 1 to the valve of the tyre to be repaired.
4. Connect the compressor pipe t o t h e fl a s k .
5. Connect the electric cable to one of the vehicle’s 12V sockets.
6. Operate the compressor by pressing the button A until the pressure in the tyre reaches 2.0 bars. If you cannot make the pressure attain this level, then the tyre is not repairable.
7. Remove and stow the com-pressor.
8. Drive immediately for a few miles at reduced speed, in or-der for the repair to set.
9. Adjust the tyre pressure to the normal level for the vehicle, checking that there is no air es-caping (no loss of pressure).
10. Drive at reduced speed (80 km/h / 50 mph).
Visit a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.
You must inform the technician that you have used the puncture repair kit to repair the tyre and give him its user guide.

WHEEL FOR TEMPORARY USE
If your vehicle is equipped with a spare wheel for temporary use o n l y , w h e n fi t t i n g t h i s i t i s n o r m a l to observe that the wheel bolts do not come to bear directly on the wheel rim.
The spare wheel is secured by the conical tapering of the wheel bolt’s shaft (see illustration).
W h e n r e fi t t i n g t h e o r i g i n a l w h e e l , ensure that the wheel bolt contact surfaces are clean and in good condition.
WHEEL EQUIPPED WITH DEFLATION DETECTION SYSTEM
Such wheels have tyre pressure sensors. It is essential to have re-pairs carried out by a CITROËN dealer.
ANTI-THEFT BOLTS (alloy wheels)
Each wheel may be equipped with one anti-theft bolt.
To remove it :
1. Remove the protector that is covering it by means of the tool 2 (for removing the chrome covers on alloy wheels).
2. Use the anti-theft socket 9with the handle.
DIMENSION OF THE SPARE WHEEL
If your spare wheel has dimen-sions different from those of the n o r m a l v e h i c l e w h e e l s ( i d e n t i fi e d by a label), it is imperative to use the spare wheel only temporarily, to drive with caution, not to exceed 80 km/h (50 mph) and to have the tyre repaired and the normal wheel r e fi t t e d a s s o o n a s p o s s i b l e .

REFITTING A WHEEL
1. Position the wheel with the aid of the centring guide 3.
2. Do up the 3 bolts by hand, then remove the centring guide 3. Position the 4th bolt.
3. Pre-tighten the wheel bolts, using the wheelbrace 4.
4. Retract the jack 5 and disen-gage it.
5. Tighten the wheel bolts, using the wheelbrace 4.
6. Ensure that the tyre pressure is correct (see “Vehicle identi- fi c a t i o n ” ) .
