v
ehicle functions,
-
t
he audio system and telephone controls,
-
t
he interactive help, the sound settings and
t
he brightness of instruments and controls,
and,
depending on equipment:
-
t
he display of alert messages and the
p
arking sensor system,
-
t
he controls for the navigation system and
c
onnected
s
ervices.
For reasons of safety, the driver
should only carr y out operations
that require close attention with the
vehicle stationary.

Recommendations
It is necessary to press firmly, particularly for "flick" gestures (scrolling through lists, moving
t
he
m
ap...).
A
light wipe is not enough.
The
tablet does not recognise pressing with
m
ore than one finger.
This
technology allows use at all temperatures
a
nd when wearing gloves.
Do
not use pointed objects on the touch screen
t
ablet.
Do
not touch the tablet screen with wet hands.
Use a soft clean cloth to clean the touch screen
tablet. Use
this button to go to the
s
econdary
pag
e.
Use this button to return to the
primary
pag
e.
Use this button for access to
additional
information and to the
s
ettings for certain functions.
Use
this button to confirm and save
t
he changes.
Use
this button to quit.
Principles
Use the buttons on either side of the screen for access to the menus, then press the virtual
b
uttons in the touch screen.
Each
menu is displayed over one or two pages
(
primary page and secondary page).
After
a few moments with no action on
t
he secondary page, the primary page
i
s displayed automatically.
In
very
hot
conditions,
the
system
may
g
o
into
standby
(display
and
sound
off)
f
or
a
minimum
period
of
5
minutes.
State of indicator lamps
Some buttons contain an indicator lamp that g ives the state of the corresponding function.

unction.
Orange
indicator: you have switched off the
c
orresponding
f
unction.

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines belo w:
F
T
o obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles
l
ocated at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well
a
s the air extractor located in the boot.
F
D
o not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation
o
f the air conditioning system.
F
O
perate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month
t
o keep it in per fect working order.
F
E
nsure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
e
lements replaced regularly.
W
e recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its
s
pecial active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the
o
ccupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic
s
ymptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
F
T
o ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
i
t checked regularly as recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.
F
I
f the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified
w
orkshop.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine, the i nterior t emperature i s v ery h igh, f irst
v
entilate the passenger compartment for
a
few moments.
Put
the air flow control at a setting high
e
nough to quickly change the air in the
p
assenger
c
ompartment.
The
air conditioning system does not
c
ontain chlorine and does not present
a
ny danger to the ozone layer.
The
condensation created by the air
c
onditioning results in a discharge
o
f water under the vehicle which is
p
er fectly normal.
When
towing
the
maximum
load
on
a
steep
gradient
in
high
temperatures,
switching
off
the
a
ir
conditioning
increases
the
available
engine
power
and
so
improves
the
towing
ability.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning s ystems only work when the engine is
r
unning.
To
maintain a comfortable temperature
i
n the passenger compartment, you can
t
emporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
s
ystem.
For
more information on Stop & Start,

When towing
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the h
eaviest items are as close as possible to
t
he axle and the nose weight approaches
t
he maximum permitted without
e
xceeding it.
Air
density decreases with altitude, thus
r
educing engine per formance. Above
1 0
00 metres, the maximum towed load must
b
e reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of
al
titude.
For
more information on weights (and the
t
owed loads which apply to your vehicle) refer
t
o the corresponding section.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity t
o side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.
As
the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
c
apacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
s
peed.
The
maximum towed load on a long incline
d
epends on the gradient and the ambient
t
emperature.
In
all cases, keep a check on the coolant
t
emperature. F
I
f the warning lamp and the
S
TOP
warning lamp come on,
s
top the vehicle and switch off
t
he engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
e
ngine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing v
ehicle and of the trailer, observing the
re
commended
p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling o
n the trailer and the hadlamp beam height
o
f your vehicle.
For
more information on adjusting the
h
eadlamp beam height, refer to the
c
orresponding
s
ection.
The
rear parking sensors will be
d
eactivated automatically if a genuine
C
ITROËN towbar is used.
