Sun visor rails











Glove box


Depending on equipment, it may contain a CD
player. ) To open the glove box, raise the handle.
It is illuminated when the lid is opened.
It is cooled by a manual directional ventilation
nozzle.
It is connected directly to your vehicle's air conditioning system and is supplied with cool
air whatever the temperature setting for the
passenger compartment.
The refrigeration of your glove box operates only with the engine running and the air conditioning on. Th
e blinds are extended on the sun visor rails.
Fold the visor downwards, to protect against dazzle to the face.
If dazzle is coming from the side windows,
detach the visor from its housing above the centre of the windscreen and pivot it to the side.
The visors are fitted with a locking system on
their central housing when the blind is reeled in.
To detach the visor or to reposition it, it must be
in a ver tical position.

Sliding blinds

Driving
The vehicle being followed may not be detected
in cer tain conditions such as, for example:
- when turnin
g,
- when changing lane,
- when the vehicle in front is out of the range
of the sensor (maximum range: around
100 m).
Operating limits
In the event of a fault with the system,
this warning lamp is displayed
accompanied by a message.

Operating fault

Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

At the first use of the system after repair, a message may be displayedindicating that the system is initialising. The system is not available while this is in progress. As soon as the message disappears the system is operationalagain. If the message does notdisappear, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.


The operation of the radar, located in the front bumper, may be disturbed by accumulations of grime (dust, mud...) or in certain weather conditions (snow, ice...).
The message "SYSTEM INACTIVE:Visibility reduced" is displayed to signal that the system has been put intostandby.
Clean the front bumper regularly.

Safety








Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl ation detection
The system continuously monitors thepressures on the four tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever
y time the tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed. The system triggers an aler t as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.
The under-inflation detection system does not replace the vigilance or theresponsibility of the driver. This system does not avoid the need tocheck the tyre pressures (including the spare wheel) every month as well as before a long journey. Driving with under-inflated tyres impairsroad holding, extends braking distances and causes premature tyre wear,particularly under arduous condition(high loading, high speed, long journey). S
ystem which automatically checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.

The inflation pressures defined for your vehicle can be found on the tyrepressure label (see the "Identificationmarkings" section). Tyre pressures should be checkedwhen the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderatespeeds). Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures shown on the label.

Driving with under-inflated tyresincreases fuel consumption.

Safety
Dynamic stability control(DSC)


The DSC system offers exceptional safety in normal driving, but this should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct operation of the system depends on obser vation of the manufacturer's recommendationsregarding the wheels (tyres and rims),the braking components, the electronic components and the assembly andrepair procedures used by CITROËNdealers.
After an impact, have the systemchecked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.



Activation

This system is activated automatically each
time the vehicle is started.
It comes into operation in the event of a grip or
trajectory problem.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on softground...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the DSC system, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.
This is indicated by
flashing of thiswarning lamp in the instrument panel.



Operating fault
But it is recommended that the system bereactivated as soon as possible.
)
Press the button.
This warnin
g lamp and the indicator lamp in the button come on: the
DSC system no longer acts on theoperation of the engine.
Reactivation
The system is reactivated automatically each
time the ignition is switched back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h).
) Press the button again to
reactivate it manuall

Safety
Airbags


System designed to maximise the safety of the
occupants (with the exception of the rear centrepassenger) in the event of violent collisions.
The airbags supplement the action of the force-
limiting seat belts (with the exception of the centre rear passenger).
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts sustained in the impact detection zones:


- in the case of a serious impact, the airbagsare deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the occupants
of the vehicle
(with the exception of the rear centre passenger); immediately after the
impact, the airbags deflate rapidly so that
they do not hinder visibility or the exit of the
occupants,

- in the case of a minor or rear impact
or in cer tain roll-over conditions, the
airbags will not be deployed; the seat belt
alone contributes towards ensuring your protection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once.
If a second impact occurs (during thesame or a subsequent accident), the airbag will not be deployed again.

Deployment of the airbag(s) isaccompanied by a slight emissionof smoke and a noise, due to the activation of the pyrotechnic car tridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive individuals may experience slightirritation.
The noise of the detonation may result in a slight loss of hearing for a shor t time.
