A few definitions…

This value may vary following a
change in the style of driving or
the relief, resulting in a signifi -
cant change in the current fuel
consumption.
If dashes are displayed continu-
ously while driving in place of the
digits, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop. This function is only displayed
from 20 mph (30 km/h).
Range
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
which can still be travelled
with the fuel remaining in the tank in
relation to the average fuel consump-
tion over the last few miles (kilometres)
travelled.
When the range falls below 20 miles
(30 km), dashes are displayed. After
fi lling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the
range is recalculated and is displayed
when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel con-
sumption during the last few
seconds.

Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)


This is the average fuel con-
sumption since the last trip
computer zero reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
This is the average speed calcu-
lated since the last trip computer
zero reset (ignition on).

Distance travelled
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
travelled since the last trip
computer zero reset.








Stop & Start time counter
(minutes/seconds or hours/
minutes)
If your vehicle is fi tted with Stop & Start,
a time counter calculates the time spent
in STOP mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition
is switched on with the key.

The fuel consumption of your
vehicle will be higher than
the offi cial fi gures obtained
by CITROËN during the fi rst
3 000 miles (5 000 km) of the
vehicle's life.

COMFORT

DUAL-ZONE DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING

Automatic operation

We recommend the use of
one of the three AUTO modes
available: they provide opti-
mised regulation of the tem-
perature in the passenger
compartment according to the comfort
value that you have chosen.
These three modes automatically adjust
the air fl ow, according to the desired set-
ting, while also maintaining the desired
comfort value.

)

Press the "AU TO "
button repeatedly:


- a fi rst indicator lamp comes on; the
"light" setting mode is selected,

- a second indicator lamp comes
on; the "medium" setting mode is
selected,

- a third indicator lamp comes on;
the "intense" mode setting is se-
lected.
The air conditioning system operates when the engine is running. When the engine is cold, the air
fl ow will reach its optimum level
progressively, taking account
of the weather and the desired
comfort level so as to avoid too
great a distribution of cold air.
On entering the vehicle, if the in-
terior temperature is much colder
or warmer than the comfort val-
ue, there is no need to change
the value displayed in order to
obtain the comfort required. The
system corrects the difference in
temperature automatically and
as quickly as possible.

1. Automatic comfort programme
This system is designed to operate
effectively in all seasons, with the win-
dows closed.

ELECTRIC WINDOWS

Fitted with a safety anti-pinch system
and a deactivation system to prevent
misuse of the rear controls.


1.
Driver's electric window control.


2.


Passenger's electric window control.



3.
Rear right electric window control.


4.
Rear left electric window control.


5.
Deactivation of the rear electric
window controls.

The electric window controls
remain operational for approxi-
mately 45 seconds after the ig-
nition is switched off or until the
vehicle is locked after a door is
opened.
If one of the passenger windows
cannot be operated from the
driver's door control panel, carry
out the operation from the con-
trol panel of the passenger door
concerned, and vice versa. After approximately ten con-
secutive complete opening/clos-
ing movements of the window, a
protection function is activated
which only authorises closing of
the window to prevent damage
to the electric window motor.
Once the window is closed,
the controls will become avail-
able again after approximately
40 minutes.
If the window cannot be closed (for
example, in the presence of ice),
once the window has lowered:


)
press and hold the control
until the window opens fully,

)
then pull the control immedi-
ately and hold it until the win-
dow closes,

)
continue to hold the control
for approximately one second
after the window has closed.


The safety anti-pinch function
is not operational during these
operations.



There are two options:


- manual mode



)
Press or pull the control gently.
The window stops when the con-
trol is released.

- automatic mode



)
Press or pull the control fi rmly.
The window opens or closes fully
when the control is released.

)
Pressing the control again stops
the movement of the window.

Safety anti-pinch
When the window rises and meets an
obstacle, it stops and partially lowers
again.

:


)

front foglamps,

)
forwards a second time to switch on
the rear foglamps,

)

Model with front and rear foglamps
front and rear foglamps
When the headlamps switch off with
automatic illumination of headlamps
(AUTO model) or when the dipped
beam headlamps are switched off
manually, the foglamps and sidelamps
remain on.


)
Turn the ring rearwards to switch
off the foglamps, the sidelamps will
then switch off.

In good or rainy weather, by both
day and night, the front foglamps
and the rear foglamps are pro-
hibited. In these situations, the
power of their beams may dazzle
other drivers. They should only
be used in fog or falling snow.
In these weather conditions, you
should switch on the foglamps
and dipped beam headlamps
manually, as the sunshine sen-
sor may detect suffi cient light.
Do not forget to switch off the
front and rear foglamps when
they are no longer necessary.

Parking lamps

Side markers for the vehicle by illumi-
nation of the sidelamps on the traffi c
side only.


)
Within one minute of switching off
the ignition, operate the lighting con-
trol stalk up or down depending on
the traffi c side (for example: when
parking on the left; lighting control
stalk upwards; the right hand side-
lamps are on).
This is confi rmed by an audible signal
and illumination of the corresponding
direction indicator warning lamp in the
instrument panel.
To switch off the parking lamps, return
the lighting control stalk to the central
position.
Switching off the lighting when
switching off the ignition
When the ignition is switched off,
all of the lamps switch off immedi-
ately, except for the dipped beam
headlamps if automatic guide-
me-home lighting is activated.







Manual guide-me-home lighting

Temporarily keeping the dipped beam
headlamps on after the vehicle's igni-
tion has been switched off makes the
driver's exit easier when the light is poor.

Switching on


)
With the ignition off, "fl ash" the
headlamps using the lighting stalk.

)
A further "headlamp fl ash" switches
the function off.


Switching off

The manual guide-me-home lighting
switches off automatically after a set time.



Switching on the lighting
when switching on the ignition
To reactivate the lighting control stalk, turn the ring A
to position "0"
- lighting off, then to the position of
your choice.
If the lighting is switched on manu-
ally after switching off the ignition,
there is an audible signal when a
front door is opened to warn the
driver that they have forgotten to
switch off the vehicle's lighting, with
the ignition off.
They switch off automatically after a
period which depends on the state
of charge of the battery (entry to en-
ergy economy mode).
