Hybrid system

Sport mode
(Diesel and
electric)


4WD mode **

(Diesel and
electric)
This mode allows more dynamic driving byproviding additional performance.Vehicle acceleration and pick-up are
maximised by using the capacity of the electric
motor, supplementing the power of the Diesel
engine.
This mode manages the progressiveness of theaccelerator, the electronic gearbox and the use of the electric motor.
In Sport mode:
- The electric motor can be used up to 70 mph (120 km/h).


This mode provides additional traction
***
at
low speed by driving all 4 wheels of the vehicle continuously: the Diesel engine (front wheel
drive) and the electric motor (rear wheel drive)operate simultaneously and permanently.
Their coupling is managed electronically tooptimise traction on slippery sur faces.
In 4WD mode:


- Power for the electric motor is provided,
i
f needed, by the alternator-star ter motor
of the front engine. The Diesel engine
operates continuously.

- The additional traction from the electricmotor is available up to 70 mph (120 km/h). In ZEV m
ode:


- the accelerator control is progressive.

- Range and acceleration capacity are
limited. The maximum speed possible is
around 36 mph (60 km/h).

- Under high load or a priority requirement causing the star t of the Diesel engine, the
system changes automatically to AUTO mode.I
f the conditions do not allow this mode, a message that the ZEV mode is not available appears in
the screen, the ZEV warning lamp
flashes for a few seconds then goes off and theselector comes on in AUTO.
This mode should be used on snowcovered roads or difficult ground (mud, sand, ...).
For more information on "Automatic
restarting of the Diesel engine", refer to the corresponding section.

4WD: 4 Wheel Drive.

This mode will be even more effective if suitable tyres are fitted (winter tyres inparticular).

Hybrid system
Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot,as close as possible to the rear seats.Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box inpreference.Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.

At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the door aper ture, driver's side.Carry out this check in par ticular:- before a long journey,- at each change of season,- after a long period out of use.

Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) and obser ve the schedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after the3 rd
cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any over flow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settledown to a consistent average.

103Comfort
Automatic day/night model
By means of a sensor, which measures the
light from the rear of the vehicle, this system
automatically and progressively changes
between the day and night uses.
Adjustable mirror providing a central rearwardview.
Equipped with an anti-dazzle system, whichdarkens the mirror glass: this reduces
the nuisance to the driver caused by the headlamps from following vehicles, low sun...





Rear view mirror
In order to ensure optimum visibility during your manoeuvres, the mirror lightens automatically when reverse gear is engaged.










Steering wheel adjustment
)When stationary, pull the control lever to yrelease the adjustment mechanism.)
Adjust the height and reach to suit your driving position.)
Push the control lever to lock theadjustment mechanism.

As a safety precaution, these operations should only be carried out while the vehicle is stationary.

As a safety measure, the mirrors shouldbe adjusted to reduce the "blind spot".
Seeing clearly
For better rear vision, align the bottom of the rear view mirror with the bottom of the rear screen.

6-speed electronic gearbox

Six-speed electronic gearbox which offers a
choice between the comfor t of fully automatic
operation or the pleasure of manual gear changing.

Steering mounted control paddles


The steering mounted paddles cannotbe used to select neutral or to engage or disengage reverse gear. This
gearbox provides additional functions:


- hill star t assist,

- creep
function (the vehicle moves on
its own on releasing the brake pedal) in automated mode or in reverse. There are two drivin
g modes: -automatedmode for automatic control of
the gears by the gearbox,-manualmode for sequential gear changing by the driver.
In automated mode, it remains possible to change gear manually by using the steering mounted control paddles as desired, when
over taking, for example.

Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl ation detection System which automatically checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.
Sensors fitted in each valve trigger a warning in
the event of malfunction (speed above 12 mph(20 km/h)).
The spare wheel is not fitted with a sensor.

All repairs and changing of tyres on a wheel fitted with this system must becarried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you install a wheel which is not detected by your vehicle (example: fitting of snow tyres),you must have the system reinitialised by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifiedworkshop.
This message is also displayed whenone of the wheels is away from thevehicle (being repaired) or when one or more wheels without a sensor are fitted.


The tyre under-inflation detectionsystem is an aid to driving which doesnot replace the need for the driver to bevigilant or to drive responsibly.

This system does not avoid the needto have the tyre pressures checkedregularly (refer to "Identification markings") to ensure that the optimumdynamic per formance of the vehicle is maintained and prevent premature wear of the tyres, particularly in arduousdriving conditions (heavy load, highspeed). The tyre pressures must be checked cold, at least once a month. Remember to check the pressure of the spare wheel.

The tyre under-inflation detectionsystem may experience temporary inter ference due to electromagnetic signals on a frequency close to thatused by the system.
A message appears in the instrument panel screen, accompanied by an audible signal,
to identify the wheel concerned.
Under-infl ated tyre
This warning lamp andthe STOPwarning lamp come on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the
instrument panel screen identifying the wheelconcerned. ) Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden
movement of the steering wheel and
the brakes. ) Change the damaged wheel (puncturedor very deflated tyre), and have the tyre
pressure checked as soon as possible.


Puncture

A message appears in the instrument panel
screen, accompanied by an audible signal,
to identi
fy the wheel or wheels which are not
detected or to indicate a fault in the system.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to replace the faulty sensor(s).


Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
)Check the tyre pressures as soon as possible. This check must be carried out when the tyres are cold.
