Deactivation of manual height correction Good practice
When stationary and with the ignition key
removed, excessive use of the system
consumes battery power. Long term parking
Avoid parking for a long duration on ground
which could present a potential obstacle as
your vehicle could lower.
Following a long period out of use, the
height of the platform may change due to the
automatic height correction on unlocking or
on opening one of your vehicle's doors.
With the vehicle stationary:
- press and hold,
- release the control.
Return to manual height correction
According to the configuration, a beep may
be heard during these operations. You must deactivate the manual height
correction in the following situations:
- when working underneath the vehicle,
- when changing a wheel,
- when the vehicle is being transported by lorry, train, ferry, boat, ... Warning lamp
Driving with the height of the rear platform:
- too low, risks damaging the technical
components underneath the vehicle,
- too high, risks unstable driving.
With the vehicle stationary:
- press and hold,
- release the control. Refer to the "Instruments and controls"
section of chapter 2.
If you start and the warning lamp flashes, to
switch it off:
- correct the position of the manual
control which is still at the lower or
upper limit,
- or drive slowly at above 6 mph (10 km/h), until height correction returns to automatic
mode.
Return to manual correction is confirmed by
the LED which goes off. Deactivation is confirmed by the LED which
is on. It remains on for approximately
30 seconds.

Mirrors and windows
ELECTRIC WINDOWS
1. Driver's electric window control
2. Passenger electric window control The electrical functions of the electric
windows are deactivated:
- approximately 45 seconds after the
ignition is switched off,
- after one of the front doors is opened, if the ignition is off.
Reinitialisation
Following reconnection of the battery,
the safety anti-pinch function must be
reinitialised.
Lower the window fully, then raise it, it will
rise in steps of a few centimetres each time
the control is pressed. Repeat the operation
until the window is fully closed.
Continue to press the control for at least one
second after the window closed position has
been reached.
The safety anti-pinch does not operate
during these operations.
Manual mode
Press or pull the control, without passing the
point of resistance. The window stops when
you release the control.
Automatic mode
Press or pull the control, beyond the point
of resistance. The window opens or closes
fully when the control is released. Pressing
the control again stops the movement of
the window.
Safety anti-pinch
If your vehicle is fitted with the safety anti-
pinch function, when the window rises and
meets an obstacle, it stops and partially
lowers.
In the event of unwanted opening of the
window on closing, press the control until
the window is fully open. Within the next
4 seconds, pull the control until the window
is fully closed.
The safety auto-reverse does not operate
during these operations.
There are two operating modes:
Good practice
If the electric windows meet an obstacle
during operation, you must reverse the
movement of the window. To do this, press
the control concerned.
When the driver operates the passenger
electric window controls, he must ensure
that no one is preventing correct closing of
the windows.
The driver must ensure that the passengers
use the electric windows correctly.
Be aware of children when operating
the windows.

Checks
CHECKS
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
Unless there is a leak in the system, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For any information on checking the brake
disc / drum wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the servicing schedule.
Carbon filter and passenger
compartment filter
The carbon fi lter permits continuous and effective
fi ltering of dust.
If the passenger compartment fi lter becomes
clogged, this may reduce the performance of the
air conditioning system and generate unpleasant
odours.
We recommend the use of a combined passenger
compartment fi lter. By means of its second special
active fi lter, it contributes to the purifi cation of the
air breathed by the occupants and the cleanness
of the passenger compartment (reduction of
allergic symptoms, unpleasant odours and greasy
deposits).
Refer to the servicing and warranty booklet to fi nd
out the replacement interval for these components.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle (urban
driving...), change them twice as often if necessary.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
This filter actively contributes
to the preservation of air quality
by trapping unburnt polluting
particles. It is controlled
completely and automatically by the engine
management system.
This warning lamp comes on if there is a risk
of blockage of the filter.
This alert signals the start of saturation of
the particle emissions filter (exceptionally
prolonged driving in urban conditions:
reduced speed, traffic jams…).
If this alert persists, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
On acceleration after the vehicle has been
running for a prolonged period at very low
speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional
circumstances, notice the emission of water
vapour at the exhaust. This water vapour
does not have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment.
To regenerate the filter, it is recommended
that as soon as driving conditions permit,
you drive at a speed of at least 36 mph
(60 km/h) for at least 5 minutes (until the
warning lamp goes off and/or the message
disappears).
Refer to "Under the bonnet" in section 6.
