windscreen wipers
The windscreen wipers operate automatically,
without any action on the par t of the driver,
if rain is detected (sensor behind the rear viewmirror), adapting their speed to the intensity of
the rainfall.
Switching on
Briefly push stalk A
downwards.
The instruction is confirmed b
y a wiping cycle, accompanied byillumination of this warning lamp in the instrument panel and anactivation message.
Switching off
Briefly push stalk Adownwards again.
The instruction is confirmed b
ythis warning lamp going off in the
instrument panel and/or the display of
a deactivation message.
The automatic rain sensitive windscreen wipers must be reactivated if the ignition has been off for more thanone minute.
Operating fault
If an automatic rain sensitive wiper malfunction
occurs, the wipers will operate in intermittent
mode.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Do not cover the rain sensor, linked with the sunshine sensor and located in the centre of the windscreen behind the rear view mirror. Switch off the automatic rain sensitivewipers when using an automatic car wash.

Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl ation detection
System which automatically and continuously checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.Sensors fitted in each valve trigger a warning
in the event of problem (speed above 12 mph(20 km/h)).
Puncture
The tyre under-inflation detectionsystem is an aid to driving which doesnot replace the need for the driver to bevigilant or to drive responsibly.
Under-infl ated tyre
This warning lamp is displayed on the
instrument panel and/or a message appears
in the screen, accompanied by an audible
si
gnal, to identify the wheel concerned.
The STOPwarning lamp comes on and/or this warning lamp is displayed on
the instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in the
screen identifying the wheel concerned.
)Stop as soon as it is safe to do so, avoiding any sudden movement of the steering
wheel and the brakes. )Repair or change the damaged wheel(punctured or very deflated tyre), and have
the tyre pressure checked as soon as possible.
) Check the tyre pressures as soon as possible.
This check must be carried out when the tyres
are cold.

177Safety
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
A message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal, to identify
the wheel or wheels which are not detected or
to indicate a malfunction in the s
ystem.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to replace the
faulty sensor(s).
All repairs and changing of tyres on a wheel fitted with this system must be carried out by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified 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 qualified workshop.
This system does not avoid the needto have the tyre pressures checkedregularly (refer to the "Identificationmarkings" section) to ensure that
the optimum dynamic performanceof the vehicle is maintained andprevent premature wear of the tyres, particularly in arduous driving conditions (heavy load, high speed). 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 detection system may experience temporary inter ference due to electro-magnetic emissions on a frequency close to thatused by the system.
This message is also displayed when one of the wheels is away from the vehicle (being repaired) or when oneor more wheels without a sensor are fitted.
If your vehicle is equipped with a spare wheel, this is not fitted with a sensor.

217Driving
Lane departure warning system
System which detects the involuntary crossing
of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the ground (solid or broken line).
Sensors, fitted below the front bumper, trigger a
warning if the vehicle drifts over a lane marking (speed higher than 50 mph (80 km/h)).
This system is par ticularly useful on motor waysand main roads.
Activation
)Press this button, the indicator lamp comes on.
The lane depar ture warning systemcannot, in any circumstances, replacethe need for vigilance and responsibility on the par t of the driver.
Deactivation
You are warned by the vibration of the driver's seat cushion:
- on the right-hand side, if the marking on theground has been crossed on the right,
- on the left-hand side, if the marking on the ground has been crossed on the left.
No warning is transmitted while the direction indicator is active and for approximately 20 seconds after the direction indicator is
switched off.
A warning may be transmitted if a direction
marking (e.g. arrow) or non-standard marking(e.g. graffiti) is crossed.
Detection
Operatin
g fault
The detection may be impeded:
- if the sensors are dir ty (mud, snow...),
- if the markings on the ground are worn,
- if there is little contrast between themarkings on the ground and the road surface.
)
Press this button again, the indicator lampgoes off.
The status of the system remains in the
memory when the ignition is switched off. In the event of a malfunction,
the ser vice warnin
g lamp comes
on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Blind spot sensors
of the presence of another vehicle in the blind spot angle of their vehicle (areas masked from
the driver's field of vision), as soon as thispresents a potential danger.
Operation
This system is designed to improve safety when driving and is in no circumstances a substitute for the use of the interior rear view mirror and door mirrors. It is the driver'sresponsibility to constantly check the traffic, to asses the distances and relative speeds of other vehicles and to predict their movements before deciding whether to change lane.
The blind spot sensor system can never replace the vigilance and responsibility of thedriver.
)On switching on the ignition, or enginerunning, press this button to activate the function; the warning lamp comes on.
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots. A warnin
g lamp appears in the door mirror on
the side in question:
- immediatel
y, when being overtaken,
- after a delay of about one second, whenover taking a vehicle slowly.

Operating fault
In the event of a fault, the warning lamp in thebutton flashes then goes off.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.
The system may suffer temporary interference in certain weather conditions(rain, hail...).
In par ticular, driving on a wet surface or moving from a dry area to a wet area can cause false alerts (for example, the presence of a fog of water droplets in the blind spot angle is interpreted as avehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure thatthe sensors are not covered by mud, ice or snow. Take care not to cover the warning zone in the door mirrors or the detection zones on the front and rear bumpers with adhesive labels or other objects; they may hamper the correct operation of the system.
)To deactivate the system, press this button again; the warning lamp goes off.
The state of the system remains in memory on switching off the ignition.
The system is automatically deactivated when towing with a towbar approved by CITROËN.

Parking space sensors
System which measures the parking spaceavailable between two vehicles or obstacles.
It measures the size of the space and gives you
information on:
- the possibility of fitting into a free space,
depending on the dimensions of your
vehicle and the distances needed for manoeuvring,
- the level of difficulty of the manoeuvre to
be performed.
The s
ystem does not measure spaces which
are clearly much smaller or larger than the sizeof the vehicle.
Displays in the instrument panel
You have identified a parking space: )Press button Ato select the function. )Operate the direction indicator on theside where the space is to be measured; a message is displayed to confirm thatmeasurement is in progress. )During measurement, go for ward the
length of the space, at a speed less than
12 mph (approx. 20 km/h), to prepare for your manoeuvre. )Once the measurement has beencompleted, the system informs you of
the level of difficulty of the manoeuvre
by a message in the multifunction screen accompanied by an audible signal.
Operation
