Cancelling the programming
  Press this button briefly to clear 
the programmed start time. 
   
The screen illumination and the 
pre-selection number (e.g. 1) are 
switched off.  
 
 
Good practice 
 
To avoid any risk of poisoning or 
asphyxiation, the additional heating 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. 
  The additional heating is supplied by the 
vehicle’s fuel tank. 
  Ensure that the fuel gauge indicator lamp is 
not at reserve. 
  Always switch off the additional heating 
when filling with fuel to avoid any risk of fire 
or explosion. 
  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 additional heating system is fitted with 
a temperature limiter which cuts off the 
combustion in the event of overheating due 
to a lack of coolant. 
  Top up the coolant, then press the 
programme selection control before 
switching the heating on again.   Have the additional heating system 
checked at least once a year at the 
beginning of winter. Maintenance and 
repairs should only be carried out by a 
CITROËN dealer. 
  Use only genuine replacement parts.  
Recalling one of the pre-selected
start times
   
Press this button as many times 
as necessary until the number 
corresponding to the required 
pre-selected start time (e.g. 2) 
appears. 
  After ten seconds, the time is cleared but 
remains stored for as long as the number 
(e.g. 2) and the screen remain on.  
Switching off the heating
 
Press this button. 
  The heating cycle indicator lamp 
and the screen are switched off.  
Two different types of equipment
 
The additional heating is separate and 
programmable. Before you enter the vehicle, 
it gradually increases the temperature of the 
engine to make starting easier. 
  This also facilitates passenger compartment 
heating, demisting and defrosting. 
  The additional passenger compartment 
heating system supplements the 
standard equipment. Its operation may be 
independent of the engine. 
  Switching on of the heating may be 
programmable.

AUDIBLE REAR PARKING SENSORS 
 
If fitted on your vehicle, the system consists 
of four proximity sensors, installed in the 
rear bumper. 
  They detect any obstacle: person, vehicle, 
tree, fence, behind the vehicle during the 
manoeuvre. 
  However, objects the size or thickness of 
which are detected at the beginning of the 
manoeuvre will no longer be detected at the 
end of the manoeuvre: blind spots between 
and below the sensors. Examples: stake, 
roadworks cone or pavement post. Engage 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. 
  The system cannot, in any circumstances, take the 
place of the vigilance and responsibility of the driver.  
Stop the assistance 
 
Change to neutral.  
 
 
Malfunction 
 
If this warning lamp comes on on 
the instrument panel, contact a 
CITROËN dealer. 
  If your vehicle is fitted 
with this screen,
a message appears.  
 
 
Good practice 
 
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the 
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or 
snow.

PIN     
Pairing a mobile telephone 
  Pairing consists of setting your vehicle's 
Bluetooth® system to recognise your mobile 
telephone. 
  For this you must activate the Bluetooth® 
function of your telephone and set its 
visibility. 
  With the ignition on, activate the 
main menu. 
  Select SETTINGS. 
  Confirm. 
  Select PAIRING. 
  Confirm.   This number, which permits 
recognition of your mobile 
telephone, is generated 
randomly by the system. 
  It is communicated by the instrument panel 
screen and is repeated verbally by the 
system. 
  This PIN is independent of your SIM card 
and your mobile's access code. 
  Once your handset has been paired, there is 
no need to keep a record of this number. 
  If you change your mobile telephone,
you must repeat the pairing procedure as 
you will be given a new PIN. 
  Look for the option which displays 
the Bluetooth® system detected 
by your telephone. 
  When the system has been 
identified, a message appears in 
your telephone (My car, ...).    
 
Pressing MAIN or ESC during 
the pairing phase may cancel the 
procedure. 
  If the pairing fails, an error message will 
appear; in this case, repeat the procedure.

Driving safely
SAFETY
TRACTION CONTROL (ASR) AND DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESP) 
 
These systems are linked and complement 
the ABS. 
  The ASR system is very useful for 
maintaining optimum drive and avoiding 
losses of control of the vehicle on 
acceleration. 
  The system optimises drive to prevent the 
wheels skidding, by acting on the brakes of 
the drive wheels and on the engine. It also 
allows the directional stability of the vehicle 
to be improved on acceleration. 
  Use the ESP to hold your course without 
attempting to countersteer.   If there is a variation between the trajectory 
followed by the vehicle and that required 
by the driver, the ESP system automatically 
acts on the engine and the brake of one 
or more wheels, in order to put the vehicle 
back on course. 
  In certain exceptional conditions (when 
starting a vehicle stuck in mud or snow, or 
on loose ground...), it could prove useful 
to deactivate the ASR system to make the 
wheels spin and regain grip. 
   
Operation of the ASR and ESP 
systems
  The LED flashes when the ASR 
or ESP is triggered.    Press this button. 
  The LED on the button comes on: the ASR 
system no longer acts on the engine operation, 
but continues to act on the brakes.  
Operating fault 
 
When a malfunction of the ASR 
system occurs, this warning lamp 
comes on, accompanied by an 
audible signal and confirmed by a 
message on the screen.

Driving safely  
 
  When a malfunction of the ESP 
system occurs, this warning lamp 
comes on, accompanied by an 
audible signal and confirmed by a 
message on the screen. 
  Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the 
system checked.  
 
 
Good practice 
 
The ASR/ESP systems offer increased 
safety during normal driving, but should not 
incite the driver to take risks or to drive at 
high speed. 
  The operation of these systems is ensured 
if the recommendations of the manufacturer 
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims), 
the braking components, the electronic 
components and the fitting and repair 
procedures within the CITROËN network are 
observed. 
  After an impact, have these systems 
checked by a CITROËN dealer.  Intelligent Traction Control 
 
System to improve traction on slippery 
surfaces (snow, black ice, mud...). 
  This system checks for situations of difficult 
surface adhesion that could make it difficult 
to move off or make progress. 
  In these situations,  Intelligent Traction 
Control 
 takes over from the  ASR 
 system, 
by transferring drive to the wheel with the 
best grip on the ground to provide the best 
traction and trajectory control.    
Activation 
  On starting the vehicle, the system is 
deactivated. 
  Press the button, located on the dashboard, 
to activate the system; the warning lamp in 
the button comes on.  
The system is active up to about 18 mph 
(30 km/h). 
  Once the speed exceed 18 mph (30 km/h, 
the system is deactivated automatically, but 
the warning lamp in the button comes on. 
  The system is reactivated automatically 
as soon as the speed drops below 18 mph 
(30 km/h).

CHECKS 
Air filter and passenger compartment filter 
 
A clogged passenger compartment filter 
may reduce the performance of the 
air conditioning system and generate 
undesirable odours. The replacement 
intervals for these components are indicated 
in the servicing booklet. 
  Depending on the environment (dusty 
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle 
(urban driving...), change them twice as 
often if necessary, refer to the "Under the 
bonnet" section of chapter 7.  
 
 
Manual gearbox 
 
Have the level checked in accordance with 
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.  
  To check the main levels and certain 
components, in accordance with the 
manufacturer's servicing schedule, refer to 
the pages of the servicing booklet which 
correspond to your vehicle's engine. 
  Only use products recommended by 
CITROËN or products of equivalent quality 
and specification. 
  In order to optimise the operation of units as 
important as the braking system, CITROËN 
selects and offers specific products. 
  In order to avoid damaging the electrical 
units, high pressure washing to clean the 
engine compartment is strictly prohibited. 
   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.  
 
 Bleeding the water contained in 
the Diesel filter 
  If this warning lamp comes on, 
bleed the filter, otherwise bleed 
regularly each time the engine oil 
is changed. 
  To drain the water out, unscrew the bleed 
screw or the water in Diesel sensor, located 
at the base of the filter. Leave open until 
all of the water has been drained out. Then 
tighten the bleed screw or the water sensor. 
  HDi engines use advanced technology. All 
work requires a special qualification which is 
guaranteed by a CITROËN dealer.  
 
 Battery
 
At the start of winter, have your battery 
checked by a CITROËN dealer.  
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 on the system, a drop 
in the brake fluid level indicates that the 
brake pads are worn.  
Brake disc/drum wear status
 
For any information relating to checking 
the brake disc/drum wear status, contact a 
CITROËN dealer.  
 
 
Oil filter 
 
Change the filter regularly, in accordance 
with the servicing schedule.   

   
 
Changing a wheel  
 
   
 
-   If a pressure of at least  3 bars 
 is not 
reached within 5 minutes, disconnect 
the compressor from the valve and the 
power socket, then move the vehicle 
forward by approximately 10 metres to 
distribute the sealant fluid inside the 
tyre. 
   
-   Then repeat the inflating operation: 
   
 
● 
  if a pressure of at least  3 bars 
 is not 
reached within 10 minutes, switch off 
your vehicle: the tyre has suffered 
too much damage and repair has not 
been possible. Consult a CITROËN 
dealer. 
   
● 
  if the tyre has been inflated to a 
pressure of  4 bars 
, set off again 
immediately.  
 
  After driving for approximately 10 minutes, 
stop and check the pressure of the tyre 
again. 
  Adjust the pressure if necessary and contact 
a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.  
Checking and adjustingthe pressure
 
The compressor can only be used to check 
and adjust the pressure. 
   
 
-   Disconnect the hose  I 
 and connect it to 
the tyre valve directly; the cartridge will 
then be connected to the compressor 
and the filling fluid will not be injected.  
  If it is necessary to deflate the tyre, connect 
the hose  I 
 to the tyre valve and press the 
yellow button, placed in the centre of the 
switch on the compressor.  
 
 
Replacing the sealant fluidcartridge 
 
To replace the cartridge, carry out the 
following operations: 
   
 
-   disconnect the hose  I 
, 
   
-   turn the cartridge to be replaced 
anticlockwise and lift it, 
   
-   insert the new cartridge and turn it clockwise, 
   
-   reconnect the hose  I 
 and connect the 
hose  B 
 in its location.  
 
   
 
The cartridge contains ethylene-glycol, a 
product which is harmful if swallowed and 
which causes irritation to the eyes. 
  Keep out of reach of children. 
  After use, do not discard the cartridge in the 
environment, take it to a CITROËN dealer or to 
an organisation responsible for its collection. 
  This replacement kit is available from 
CITROËN dealers.
