There are two options:
After approximately ten consecutive
complete opening/closing movements
of the window, a protection function is

electric window motor.
Once the window is closed, the controls
will become available again after
approximately 40 minutes.

Safety anti-pinch
When the window rises and meets an obstacle,
it stops and partially lowers again.
Reinitialisation
If a window does not rise automatically,
its operation must be reinitialised:
pull the control until the window stops,
release the control and pull it again until
the window closes fully,
continue to hold the control for
approximately one second after the
window has closed,
press the control to lower the window
automatically to the low position,
when the window has reached the low
position, press the control again for
approximately one second.
The safety anti-pinch function is not
operational during these operations.
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 immediately
and hold it until the window 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.
Always remove the key from the ignition
when leaving the vehicle, even for a
short time.
If an obstacle is encountered during
operation of the electric windows,
you must reverse the movement of the
window. To do this, press the control
concerned.
When the driver operates the
passenger's electric window control,
they must ensure that nothing is
preventing the windows closing
correctly.
The driver must ensure that the
passengers use the electric windows
correctly.

the windows.

Fuel tank
Capacity of the tank: approximately 60 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level in the
tank is reached, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible warning
and the display of an alert message. When it
first comes on, around 6 litres
of fuel remain
in the tank.
Until sufficient fuel has been added, every
time the ignition is switched on, this warning
lamp appears, accompanied by an audible
signal and an alert message. When driving,
this audible signal and the display of this
alert message are repeated with increasing
frequency, as the level drops towards 0
.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also to
"Checks".
Refuelling
Press control A
until the automatic opening
of the fuel flap is heard.
This control remains active for a few
minutes after switching off the ignition.
If necessary, switch the ignition on again
to reactivate it.
Take care to select the pump that delivers
the correct fuel for your vehicle.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key. Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to
be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may result in an inrush of
air. This vacuum is entirely normal and results
from the sealing of the fuel system.

Switching off the lighting
when switching off the ignition
When the ignition is switched off, all
of the lamps switch off immediately,
except for the dipped beam headlamps
if automatic guide-me-home lighting is
activated.
The temporary illumination of the dipped beam
headlamps after the vehicle's ignition has been
switched off makes the driver's exit easier
when the light is poor.
Switching on
With the ignition off, "flash" the headlamps
using the lighting stalk.
A further "headlamp flash" switches the
function off.
Switching off
The manual guide-me-home lighting switches
off automatically after a set time.
Manual guide-me-home
lighting
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 manually 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 energy economy mode).
Parking lamps
Side markers for the vehicle by illumination of
the sidelamps on the traffic side only.
Within one minute of switching off the
ignition, operate the lighting control stalk
up or down depending on the traffic side
(for example: when parking on the left;
lighting control stalk upwards; the right
hand sidelamps are on).
This is confirmed 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.

When a low level of ambient light is detected
by a sunshine sensor, the number plate
lamps, sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps
are switched on automatically, without any
action on the part of the driver. They can also
come on if rain is detected, at the same time as
automatic operation of the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to a
sufficient level or after the windscreen wipers
are switched off, the lamps are switched off
automatically.
Automatic illumination of
headlamps
Activation
Turn the ring to the "AUTO "
position. The
activation of the function is accompanied
by the display of a message in the screen.
Deactivation
Turn the ring to another position.
Deactivation of the function is accompanied
by the display of a message in the screen.
Automatic "guide- me-
home" lighting
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of
the sunshine sensor, the lighting
comes on, this warning lamp is
displayed in the instrument panel and/or a
message appears in the screen, accompanied
by an audible signal.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor
may detect sufficient light. In this
case, the lighting will not come on
automatically.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor,
coupled with the rain sensor and
located in the centre of the windscreen
behind the rear view mirror; the
associated functions would no longer
be controlled.
When the automatic illumination of headlamps
function is activated, under low ambient
light the dipped beams headlamps come on
automatically when the ignition is switched off.
Programming
Activation or deactivation, as well
as the duration of the guide-me-
home lighting, is set in the vehicle
configuration menu.
