Guide-me-home lighting
After the ignition has been switched off, the headlamps remain on briefly to make your
exit from the vehicle easier when the light is poor.
ASR and DSC systems
These systems are linked to assure the
directional stability of the vehicle, within the
limits of the laws of physics.
Glass panoramic sunroof
This roof provides incomparable visibility and
light in the passenger compartment.
Rear parking sensors / Reversing camera
These two systems warn you if an obstacle is detected behind the vehicle
when reversing.114
Stop & Start
This system puts the engine
temporarily into standby
during stops in the traffic (red
lights, traffic jams, etc....). The
engine restarts automatically
as soon as you want to move
off. The Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption,
exhaust emissions and the
noise level when stationary.

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the guidelines on operation and
maintenance below:
F
I
f the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been parked in the
sun for a considerable time, first ventilate the passenger compartment for a
few minutes.
P

lace the air flow control at a sufficient level to provide an adequate renewal of air in
the passenger compartment.
F

T
o obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles
located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well
as the air extractor located in the passenger compartment on both sides of the rear shelf.
F
d
o n
ot cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard (behind the instrument
panel); this is used for regulation of the air conditioning system.
F

O
perate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep it
in good working order.
F

E
nsure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).
W

e recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its
second special active filter, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the
occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
F

T
o ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
it checked regularly.
F

I
f the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a CITR
oËn
dealer or
a qualified workshop. The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the
air conditioning saves engine power and so improves towing capacity.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge
of water under the vehicle which is
perfectly normal.
