Automatic switching on of the lights Activation
Turn the ring to the AUTO position. The
activation of this function is accompanied by
a message on the display.
If the brightness sensor does not
function correctly , the lights come on
accompanied by the service warning light,
an audible signal and a message on the
display.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
HEADLAMP BEAM
Depending on the load in your vehicle,
the beam setting must be adjusted.
0 - 1 or 2 people in the front seats.
1 - 5 people.
2 - 6 to 9 people.
3 - Driver + maximum authorised loads.
Do not cover the brightness sensor
located on the windscreen, behind the
mirror. It is used for the automatic switching
on of the lights and for the automatic wipers. The side lights and dipped
beam headlamps switch
on automatically if the light
is poor, or during operation
of the windscreen wipers. They switch off as
soon as the light becomes bright enough or
the windscreen wipers stop.
This function is not compatible with the
daytime lights. Deactivation
Turn the ring forwards or rearwards. The
deactivation of this function is accompanied
by a message on the display.
The function is deactivated temporarily when
you use the manual lights stalk.
Initial setting is position 0.
In foggy weather or in snow, the
brightness sensor can detect sufficient
light. As a consequence, the lights will
not come on automatically. If necessary,
you must switch on the dipped headlamps
manually.

Pressing this button, with the engine
running, activates the rapid demisting -
de-icing of the rear screen and/or electric
mirrors.
This function switches off:
- when the button is pressed,
- when the engine is switched off,
- automatically to prevent excessive energy consumption.
De-icing the rear screen and/or mirrors
Automatic air conditioning: visibility
programme
The comfort programme (AUTO) may not
be sufficient to quickly demist or de-ice the
windows (humidity, several passengers, ice).
In this case, select the visibility programme.
The visibility programme indicator light
comes on.
It activates the air conditioning, the air flow,
the de-icing of the rear screen and provides
optimum distribution of the ventilation to the
windscreen and side windows.
It deactivates the air recirculation.

ADDITIONAL HEATING
Vehicles fitted with an HDi engine may be
fitted with a heater. When the engine is at
idle or the vehicle is stationary, it is normal
to notice a high-pitched whistling noise and
a slight emission of smoke and odour.
Rear ventilation
Coolant circuit heater
This is an additional and autonomous
system which heats the diesel engine hot
coolant loop to make starting easier.
It improves the de-icing and demisting
performance.

Ventilation
Have the heater checked at least
once a year at the beginning of winter.
Maintenance and repairs should only be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer. Use
recommended replacement parts only. Good practice
To avoid any risk of poisoning or
asphyxiation, the heater must not be used,
even for short periods, in an enclosed space
such as a garage or workshop which is not
fitted with an exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on an inflammable
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, paper…),
there is a risk of fire.
The temperature near the heater must not
exceed 120 °C. A temperature higher than
this (for example in the case of painting in
an oven) could damage the components of
the electronic circuits.
The heater is supplied by the vehicle's fuel
tank. Ensure that the fuel gauge indicator
light is not at reserve.

Metal suspension
This equipment adopts long movement limiters
which make it possible to guarantee stable
behaviour both when loaded and when empty.
No action on your part is required except to
ensure that maintenance is carried out and that
the authorised loads are complied with. the increasing or lightening of the load on
the vehicle's platform is detected by two
height sensors. When all of the doors are
closed, the sensors trigger the automatic
compensation and determine the optimum
height of the sill for the vehicle's driving
conditions.
Deactivation of the automatic correction
The control which permits deactivation of the
automatic control is located on the right-
hand side, at the rear of the vehicle.
Two types of suspension are offered.
You must deactivate the automatic
correction manually in the following
situations:
- when working underneath the vehicle,
- when changing a wheel,
- when the vehicle is being transported by lorry, train, ferry, boat, ...
Rear suspension with pneumatic compensation
If fitted on your vehicle, this type of
suspension regulates the variations in the
height of the rear platform of your vehicle
irrespective of the weight of the load, within
the limit of the authorised values. On board, Two functions
1. Automatic correction
2. Manual correction
1 - Automatic correction of the height of the rear sill
The pneumatic suspension automatically
regulates the variations in the height of the
rear platform of your vehicle.
The automatic compensation is temporarily
inactive:
- if a door/the tailgate is open,
- when braking or when stopped at a red
light (brake pedal pressed). With the vehicle stationary:
- press and hold,
- release the control.
Return to automatic correction With the vehicle stationary:
- press and hold,
- release the control.
According to the configurations, a bleep may
be heard during these operations.
A red warning light on your
i n s t r u m e n t p a n e l fl a s h e s i f t h e
height is not at its optimum level and
requires correction, drive slowly until
this warning light is switched off.
Return to automatic correction is confirmed
by the diode which is switched off.
Deactivation is confirmed by the diode
which is lit. It remains lit for approximately
30 seconds.
