Activation
Turn the ring to the AUTO
position. The activation
of this function is accompanied by a message in
the screen.
If the sunshine sensor does not
function correctly
, the lighting comes on
accompanied by the service warning lamp,
an audible signal and a message in the
screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
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 sunshine sensor
located on the windscreen, behind
the mirror. It is used for the automatic
illumination of headlamps and for the
automatic rain sensitive wipers. The sidelamps 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 running lamps.
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 sunshine
sensor may detect suffi cient light. As a
consequence, the lighting will not come on
automatically. If necessary, you must switch on
the dipped beam headlamps manually.

Ventilation
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.

Ventilation
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 separate system
which heats the Diesel engine hot coolant
loop to make starting easier.
It improves the demisting and defrosting
performance.

key is removed from the ignition.
All of the courtesy lights come on when
the vehicle is unlocked, when one of the
corresponding doors is opened and for
location of the vehicle using the remote
control.

Rear suspension
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
height correction and determine the optimum
height of the sill for the vehicle's driving
conditions.
Deactivation of automatic height correction
The control which permits deactivation of
automatic regulation is located on the right-
hand side, at the rear of the vehicle.
Two types of suspension are available.
You must deactivate automatic height
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
height correction
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 height
correction
2.
Manual height
correction
height of the rear sill
The pneumatic suspension automatically
regulates the variations in the height of the
rear platform of your vehicle.
The automatic height correction is
temporarily inactive:
- if a door/the tailgate is open,
- when braking or when stopped at a red
traffic signal (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
instrument panel fl ashes if the
height is not at its optimum level
and requires correction, drive slowly
until this warning lamp goes off. Return to automatic height 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
Manual rear view mirror
The rear view mirror has two positions:
- day (normal),
- night (anti-dazzle).
To change from one to the other, push or
pull the lever on the lower edge of the mirror.
MONITORING MIRROR
This mirror, placed on top of the central
mirror, enables the driver or front passenger
to observe all the rear seats.
Fitted on its own ball joint, it's manual
adjustment is simple and provides a view of
the rear interior of the vehicle.
It can also be adjusted for improved visibility
during manoeuvres or when overtaking.
REAR WINDOWS
2nd row side windows
If fitted on your vehicle, the 2nd row side
windows can be opened.
Squeeze the two controls then move the
window sideways. 4 notches are available.
While driving, the window must be closed or
secured on one of the 4 notches.
3rd row rear quarter lights
These are fixed.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM(ABS - EBFD)
The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force
distribution) systems improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.
The ABS prevents locking of the wheels,
the EBFD provides control of the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.
Good practice
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock. It does not reduce the braking
distance.
On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil, etc...)
the ABS may increase the braking distance.
When braking in an emergency, do not
hesitate to press the brake pedal firmly,
without releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able to
continue to manoeuvre the vehicle to avoid
an obstacle.
Normal operation of the ABS may be felt by
slight vibration of the brake pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are recommended by
CITROËN. If this warning light comes on,
together with the brake and STOP
warning lights, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message
on the display, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution which
could result in a loss of control of the vehicle
on braking.
Stop immediately.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables the
optimum braking pressure to be reached
more quickly, press the pedal firmly without
releasing it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is activated.
This alters the resistance of the brake
pedal under your foot. If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the display,
it indicates a malfunction of the
ABS which could result in a loss of control
of the vehicle on braking. In both cases, contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
To prolong the operation of the emergency
braking assistance system: keep your foot
on the brake pedal.
