the passenger compartment in an optimum
way according to the comfort level you have
selected.

T
o change the current setting,
press the button several times in
succession to access the desired
mode:
" Soft ": provides soft and quiet operation by
limiting air flow.
" Normal ": offers the best compromise between
a comfortable temperature and quiet operation
(default setting).
" Fast ": provides strong and effective air flow.
This setting is associated with AUTO mode
only. However, on deactivation of AUTO mode,
the last setting used remains set.
Changing the setting does not reactivate AUTO
mode if deactivated. In cold weather with the engine cold, the
air flow is increased gradually until the
comfort setting has been reached, in order
to limit the delivery of cold air into the
passenger compartment.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer
than the comfort setting requested, there
is no need to alter the value displayed
in order to reach more quickly the
required level of comfort. The system
compensates automatically and corrects
the temperature difference as quickly as
possible.
You can manually adjust the air flow and
distribution.
As soon as you modify a setting, the automatic
comfort programme is deactivated.

mounted controls or those on the touch screen.
When the USB port is used, the portable
device charges automatically.
A message is displayed if the power drawn
by the portable device exceeds the current
supplied by the vehicle.

been on for a few minutes.
If one or more lamps fails, a message
asks you to check the lamp or lamps
concerned.
Travelling abroad
If planning to use your vehicle in a country
that drives on the other side of the road,
the headlamp dipped beams must be
adjusted to avoid dazzling oncoming
drivers. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

ASR/DSC
These systems offer increased safety
in normal driving, but they should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain,
snow, ice) that the risk of loss of grip
increases. It is therefore important for your
safety to keep these systems activated in
all conditions, and particularly in difficult
conditions.
The correct operation of these
systems depends on obser vation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding as much the wheels (tyres and
rims), braking and electronic components
as the assembly and repair procedures
used by CITROËN dealers.
To benefit in full from the effectiveness
of these systems in wintry conditions,
the vehicle must be fitted with four snow
tyres, allowing the vehicle to retain neutral
behaviour on the road.Grip control
Special patented traction control system which
improves traction on snow, mud and sand.
This system, the operation of which has been
optimised for each situation, allows you to
manoeuvre in most conditions of poor grip
(encountered when using a passenger car).
Associated with 205/50 R17 all-season M+S
(Mud and Snow) tyres, this system offers a
compromise between safety, grip and traction.
These tyres are efficient in winter and summer
conditions.
The accelerator pedal should be pressed
sufficiently to allow the system to use the power
of the engine. Operation at high engine speeds
is completely normal.
A five-position selector knob allows you to
choose the setting best suited to the driving
conditions encountered.
An indicator lamp associated with each mode
comes on to confirm your choice.
A specific and additional display appears
temporarily in the touch screen to confirm the
selection made with the knob.
Standard (ESC)
This mode is calibrated for a low level of wheel
spin, based on the different levels of grip
normally encountered on the road.F

P
lace the knob in this position.
Every time the ignition is switched off, the
system automatically resets to this mode.
Snow
This mode adapts its strategy to the conditions
of grip encountered for each of the two front
wheels on moving off.
