ALARM
If fitted on your vehicle, this provides two
types of protection:
- exterior protection: it sounds if a front/rear door or the bonnet is opened.
- interior protection: it sounds if the volume inside the passenger
compartment changes (breaking of
a window or a movement inside the
vehicle). Disarming
- Unlock the vehicle with the remote
control or switch on the ignition, the red
diode goes out.
Good practice
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even when it
is in your pocket, may result in involuntary
unlocking of the doors.
The simultaneous use of other high
frequency equipment (mobile telephones,
domestic alarms…), may interfere with the
operation of the remote control temporarily.
The remote control does not operate while
the key is in the ignition, even if the ignition
is off.
As a safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition
when leaving the vehicle, even for a short
time.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle:
- have the keys memorised by a CITROËN dealer to ensure that the keys
in your possession are the only ones
which can start the vehicle. Locking the vehicle with complete
alarm
Setting the alarm
- Switch off the ignition and get out of the
vehicle.
- Set the alarm within five minutes of getting out of the vehicle, by locking or
deadlocking using the remote control.
The red diode, located on the centre console, flashes once per second. Locking the vehicle with exterior
protection only
If, while you are away from the vehicle, you
wish to leave a window partially open or a
pet inside the vehicle, you should choose
exterior protection only.
- Switch off the ignition.
- In the next ten seconds, press this button, located on the
centre console, until the red
diode is on continuously.
- Get out of the vehicle.
- Within the next five minutes, set the alarm by locking or deadlocking using
the remote control (the red diode flashes
once a second).

STEERING WHEEL HEIGHT AND DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
When the vehicle is stationary, unlock the
steering wheel by lowering the lever.
Adjust the height and depth of the steering
wheel, then lock by pushing the lever fully
upwards.
To change gear easily, always press the
clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedal:
- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,
- never fit one mat on top of another.
When driving, avoid leaving your hand on
the gear knob as the force exerted, even if
slight, may wear the internal components of
the gearbox over time.

Driver or passenger side comfort value
The value indicated on the display
corresponds to a level of comfort and not a
temperature in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. Automatic operation Do not cover the sunshine sensor,
located on the windscreen behind the
mirror, it is used for regulation of the air
conditioning.
AUTO comfort programme
This is the normal air conditioning system
operating mode.
Press this button, the AUTO
symbol is displayed.
In accordance with the comfort
value selected, the system
controls the distribution, the flow
and the intake of air to guarantee comfort
and a sufficient circulation of air in the
passenger compartment. No further action
on your part is required.
When the engine is cold, to prevent an
excessive diffusion of cold air, the ventilation
will reach its optimum level gradually.
For your comfort, the settings are stored
when the ignition is switched off and are
reinstated the next time the vehicle is
started, if the temperature in the passenger
compartment has not changed significantly;
otherwise, operation resumes in automatic
mode. Turn this control to the left or to
the right to decrease or increase
the value. A setting around the
value 21 provides optimum
comfort.However, depending on your
requirements, a setting between 18 and 24
is usual.

Parking assistance
The audible and/or visual rear parking
assistance consists of four proximity
sensors, installed in the rear bumper. The
sensors detect any obstacle which enters
the field: person, vehicle, tree, fence, behind
the vehicle during the manoeuvre.
Certain objects detected at the beginning of
the manoeuvre will no longer be detected
at the end of the manoeuvre due to the
blind spots between and below the sensors.
Examples: stake, roadworks cone or
pavement post.
Engage reverse gear
An audible signal confirms the activation of
the system by engaging reverse gear.
The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more rapid as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle. When
the distance between the rear of the vehicle
and the obstacle is less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal
becomes continuous.
Activation/Deactivation
REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
Display on the screen You can activate or deactivate the
system by pressing this button.
The activation or deactivation of
the system is stored when the
vehicle stops.
Operating fault
In the event of an operating fault, when
reverse gear is engaged the diode on
the button comes on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message on the
display. Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Good practice
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow.
The system will be deactivated automatically
if a trailer is being towed or if a bicycle
carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a
towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by
CITROËN).
The parking assistance cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
Stop the assistance
Change to neutral.
