position. The limiter is selected
but is not yet active. The screen
indicates the last programmed
speed setting.
A speed can be programmed without
activating the limiter but with the
engine running. Pressing this button once activates
the limiter, pressing the button again

Recirculation of interior airAir conditioning A/C
The LEd in the button is

operating position.
Pressing the button starts
the air conditioning system,
the LED is on. Pressing the
button again switches the
function off and the LED goes
off.
The air conditioning does not operate if
the fan speed is set to 0. The air conditioning can only operate
with the engine running.
The LED in the button is on.
Recirculation temporarily
prevents exterior odours
and smoke from entering the
passenger compartment.
Used with the setting of the fan speed
(from 1 to 4), recirculation enables you
to attain the desired comfort level more
quickly with both hot or cold settings.
This position should only be temporary.
When your desired comfort level has
been reached, return to the intake
of exterior air position to permit
renewal of the air in the passenger
compartment and avoid misting. This is
the preferred operating mode.

Good practice
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible
to exceed the value 15 by turning until
LO is displayed or the value 27 by
turning until HI is displayed.
On entering the vehicle, the inside
temperature may be much colder (or
warmer) than is comfortable. There is
no advantage in changing the value
displayed in order to quickly reach the
level of comfort required. The system
will use its maximum performance to
reach the comfort value set.

AUTO comfort programme
This is the normal air conditioning
system operating mode. Driver or passenger side comfort
value
The value indicated in the screen
corresponds to a level of comfort and
not a temperature in degrees Celsius
or Fahrenheit.
Turn this control to the left
or to the right to decrease or
increase the value. A setting
around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However,
depending on your requirements, a
setting between 18 and 24 is usual.
d

o not cover the sunshine sensor
located on the dashboard.
Press this button, the AUTO
symbol is displayed.
In accordance with the
comfort value selected,
the system controls the
distribution, the flow and the intake
of air to guarantee comfort and a
sufficient circulation of air in the
passenger compartment. No further
action on your part is required. When the engine is cold, to prevent
an excessive diffusion of cold air, the
air diffuser will reach its optimum level
gradually.
For your comfort, the settings are
stored when the ignition is switched off
and are reinstated the next time the
vehicle is started.
The automatic function will no longer
be maintained if you change a setting
manually (AUTO is cleared).

n TROL
(DSC)
These systems are linked and
complement the ABS.
The ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and
avoiding losses of control of the vehicle
on acceleration.
The system optimises drive to prevent
the wheels skidding, by acting on the
brakes of the drive wheels and on the
engine. It also allows the directional
stability of the vehicle to be improved
on acceleration.
Use the DSC to hold your course
without attempting to countersteer.
If there is a variation between the
trajectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the DSC
system automatically acts on the
engine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle back
on course.
Deactivation
In certain exceptional conditions
(starting the vehicle when stuck in mud
or snow, or on loose ground...), it could
prove useful to deactivate the ASR and
DSC systems to make the wheels spin
and regain grip.
Operating fault
Good practice
The ASR/DSC systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but
should not incite the driver to take risks
or to drive at high speed.
The operation of these systems is
ensured if the recommendations
of the manufacturer regarding
the wheels (tyres and rims), the
braking components, the electronic
components and the fitting and repair
procedures are observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Operation
The warning lamp flashes
when operation of the a SR or
DSC is triggered.
They engage again:
-

automatically above 30 mph

(50 km/h), When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the warning
lamp and the LED come on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the system
checked.
The warning lamp may also come on if
the tyres are under-inflated. Check the
pressure of each tyre.
-

Press the button or turn
the dial to the DSC OFF
position (depending on
model).
-


The LED comes on: the
ASR and
DSC systems no longer come into
play.
-

manually by pressing the
button again or by turning
the dial to this position
(depending on model).

GRIP CO n TROL
It adapts to allows most conditions of
poor grip to be accommodated.
The accelerator pedal must be pressed
enough for there to be adequate
engine power to manage the various
parameters in the best way. On snow, mud or sand, traction control
is obtained by a compromise between
safety, grip, traction and appropriate
tyres. Correct use
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you
to drive on other less passable terrain
occasionally.
However, particularly when your
vehicle is heavily laden, it does not
permit off-road activities such as:
-

crossing and driving on ground
which could damage the underbody
or tear of

f components (fuel pipe,
fuel cooler, ...), particularly by
obstacles or stones,
-

driving on ground with steep
gradients and poor grip,
-


crossing a stream.

Operation
When your vehicle is too close to or
approaches the vehicle ahead too
quickly the system automatically
applies the brakes to avoid a collision.
You are then alerted by the display of a
message.
The brake lamps on your vehicle come
on to warn other road users.
The collision can be avoided
automatically if the difference in speed
between your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead does not exceed 9 mph
(15 km/h).
Above this threshold, the system will
do what is possible to avoid or reduce
the accident by lowering the speed of
impact.
The automatic braking may bring
the vehicle to a complete stop if the
situation requires it.
In this case, the vehicle is held
stationary temporarily (for about
1.5 seconds) to allow the driver to take
back control by pressing the brake
pedal.The triggering of the system may
cause the engine to stall, unless
the driver depresses the clutch
pedal quickly enough during
automatic braking.
During automatic braking, the
driver can always obtain a higher
rate of deceleration than that
controlled by the system, by pressing
firmly on the brake pedal.
After an impact, the system is
automatically put out of service: it
no longer operates.
You must go to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the system
made operational again.
Operating limits
The system only detects vehicles that
are stationary or moving in the same
direction as your vehicle.
It does not detect small vehicles
(bicycles, motorcycles),
pedestrians or animals, nor non-
reflective stationary objects.
The system is not triggered or is
interrupted if the driver:
-

accelerates strongly
-


or turns the steering wheel
suddenly (avoiding manoeuvre). In difficult weather conditions (very
heavy rain, snow

, fog, hail...),
braking distances increase, which
can reduce the ability of the system to
avoid a collision.
The driver must therefore remain
particularly vigilant.
Never leave accumulations of
snow or any object projecting
above the bonnet or in front of
the roof: this might fall into the field of
vision of the sensor and generate a
detection.

For more information about
weights and towed loads, refer to
chapter 9, "Weights" section.
TOWIn G A TRAILER , A CARA VA n...
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest objects are as
close as possible to the axle and
the nose weight is close to the
maximum authorised without, however,
exceeding it.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the coolant temperature. As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
You should therefore use a high gear
to lower the engine speed and reduce
your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.
Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel:
gearbox in neutral.
