Lighting controls
Main lighting
The various front and rear lamps of the vehicle
are designed to adapt the lighting progressively
in relation to the climatic conditions and so
ensure the best visibility for the driver:
-
s
idelamps, to be seen,
-
d
ipped beam headlamps to see without
dazzling other drivers,
-
m
ain beam headlamps to see clearly when
the road is clear.
Additional lighting
Other lamps are provided to fulfil the
requirements of particular driving conditions:
-
a r
ear foglamp to be seen from a distance,
-
f
ront foglamps for even better visibility,
-
d
aytime running lamps to be seen during
the day.
Selection ring for main lighting
mode
Turn the ring to position the symbol required
facing the mark.
Automatic illumination of headlamps. Sidelamps only.
Dipped or main beam headlamps.
Stalk for switching headlamp beam
Pull the stalk to switch the lighting between
dipped / main beam headlamps.
In the lighting off and sidelamps modes, the
driver can switch on the main beam headlamps
temporarily ("headlamp flash") by maintaining a
pull on the stalk.
Displays
Illumination of the corresponding indicator lamp
in the instrument panel confirms the lighting
switched on.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
programme (ESP)
Trajectory control systems
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR and ESP systems to regain grip.
F
P
ress this button button, located on
the dashboard (driver's side), until the
corresponding symbol appears in the
instrument panel screen.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem. The display of this symbol indicates
that the ASR and ESP systems are
deactivated.
Reactivation
These systems are not reactivated automatically.
F
P ress this button again to reactivate them
manually.
The symbol going off in the instrument panel
indicates the reactivation of the ASR and ESP
systems.
The anti-slip regulation (also known as Traction
Control) optimises traction to limit wheel spin,
by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels
and on the engine.
The electronic stability programme acts on the
brake of one or more wheels and on the engine
to keep the vehicle on the trajectory required
by the driver, within the limits of the laws of
physics.
This is indicated by flashing of this
symbol in the instrument panel. The ASR /ESP systems should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks
or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the assembly
and repair procedures used by the
CITROËN dealer network.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Operating fault
The display of this message
in the instrument panel
indicates a malfunction of
these systems.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the ASR /ESP systems
checked.
Excessive wheel spin may cause
damage to the differential of
your
vehicle.

Engine brake reduction indicator lamp
Your vehicle is equipped with a system for the
recovery of energy during deceleration which
uses the engine brake.
It recovers into the traction battery some of the
energy generated when the vehicle slows down
(e.g. on a long descent) to improve the range
of the battery and so the distance that can be
travelled between charges.
When the traction battery has been charged
fully and for the first few miles (or kilometres) of
use of the vehicle, the engine brake is reduced
temporarily.We therefore recommend that you anticipate
your braking as much as possible: use the
brake pedal to slow down or stop the vehicle.
This indicator lamp flashes on the
instrument panel, inviting you to
adapt your driving accordingly. The braking power is never reduced
while the indicator lamp is flashing.

Deactivation
Only the front passenger's airbag can be
deactivated:
F
w
ith the ignition off , insert the key in the
passenger airbag deactivation switch A ,
F
t
urn it to the "OFF" position,
F
r
emove the key. This warning lamp comes on in the centre
console when the ignition is on and until the
airbag is reactivated.
To ensure the safety of your child, the
passenger airbag must be deactivated
when you install a rear ward facing child
seat on the front passenger seat.
Other wise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were deployed.
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn
switch A to the "ON" position to reactivate the
airbag and so ensure the safety of your front
passenger in the event of an impact.
The associated warning lamp goes off.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop
without
delay to have the system checked. The
airbags may no longer be deployed in
the event of a serious impact.
In this case, do not install a child seat
or seat an adult on the front passenger
seat.

Lateral airbags
Deployment
A lateral airbag is deployed unilaterally in the
event of a serious side impact applied to all or
part of the side impact zone B, perpendicular
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag inflates between the hip and
shoulder of the front occupant of the vehicle
and the corresponding door trim panel. System which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious side impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the chest,
between the hip and the shoulder.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
Curtain airbags
System which protects the driver and
passengers in the event of a serious side
impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the
head.
Each curtain airbag is fitted in the pillars
and the upper section of the passenger
compartment. In the event of a minor impact or bump
on the side of the vehicle or if the
vehicle rolls over, the airbag may not be
triggered.
In the event of a rear or front collision,
the airbag is not triggered.
Deployment
Each curtain airbag is deployed at the same
time as the corresponding lateral airbag in the
event of a serious side impact applied to all or
part of the side impact zone B, perpendicular
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The curtain airbag inflates between the front or
rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows.
If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked. The airbags may no longer
be deployed in the event of a serious
impact.

The under-inflation alert is only reliable
if the system has been reinitialised
with the four tyre pressures correctly
adjusted.Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop
to have the system checked
or, following the repair of a puncture, to
have the original wheel, equipped with a
sensor, refitted.

instrument panel.
You then have to drive about 100 metres before
the warning lamp goes off.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination
of the under-inflation warning lamp
indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.
This alert is also displayed if:

memorised in the system by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop. Any tyre repair or replacement on a
wheel fitted with this system must be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a

If you fit the second set of tyres
memorised in the system, a fault will
be signalled until the second set is
selected in the configuration menu.
