Front and rear foglamps
Rotate ring B
forwards to switch on
and rearwards to switch off. The status
is confi rmed by the warning lamps in
the instrument panel.
They operate with the sidelamps and
dipped beam headlamps. Do not forget to switch them off
when they are no longer needed.
Operation of the automatic illumination
of headlamps switches off the rear
foglamps, but the front foglamps

For countries where exterior lighting by
day is not a legal requirement, you can
activate or deactivate the function via
the confi guration menu.
To switch off the front and rear
foglamps, turn the ring rearwards twice
in succession.
In clear weather or in rain, both day
and night, rear foglamps dazzle and
their use is prohibited.
Automatic illumination of headlamps
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.
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 function is deactivated temporarily
when you use the manual lighting
control stalk. 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. If the user does not operate any
equipment for 30 minutes, the
Economy mode engages to avoid
discharging the battery (see "Battery"
in section 7). Electrical functions are
put on standby and the battery warning
lamp fl ashes.

Parking sensors
The audible and/or visual rear parking
sensor system consists of four
proximity sensors, installed in the
rear bumper. The sensors detect any
obstacle which enters the fi eld: 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 REAR PARKING
SENSORS
Display in the screen

Change to neutral. An audible signal confi rms
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.

Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, when
reverse gear is engaged the LED in the
button comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
screen. Contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
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 fi tted (vehicle
fi tted 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. You can activate or deactivate
the system by pressing this

Driving safely
ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)
AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY
PROGRAMME (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.
Deactivating the ASR/ESP
systems
In certain exceptional conditions
(starting the vehicle when stuck in mud
or snow, or on loose ground...), it could
prove useful to deactivate the ASR and
ESP systems to make the wheels spin
and regain grip.
Operating check
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 fi tting and repair
procedures within the CITROËN
network are observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems
The LED fl ashes when the
ASR or ESP is triggered.
They engage again:
- automatically above 30 mph
(50 km/h), When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the warning
lamp comes on, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message in the screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop to have the system
checked.
The warning lamp may also come on if
the tyres are under-infl ated. Check the
pressure of each tyre.
- Press the button or turn
the dial to the ESP OFF
position (depending on
model).
- The warning lamp comes on: the
ASR and ESP systems no longer
come into play.
- manually by pressing the
button again or by turning
the dial to this position
(depending on model).
