Auxiliary socket230 V / 50 Hz power socket
It permits the connection of a portable device
so that you can listen to your music files via the
vehicle's speakers.
The management of the files is done using your
portable device.
For more information on the use of
this equipment, refer to the Audio and
telematics section. If fitted to your vehicle, a 230 V / 50 Hz socket
(maximum power: 150 W) is located below the
right-hand front seat and so is accessible from
the second row.
This socket works with the engine running, as
well as in STOP mode with Stop & Start.
In the event of a fault with the socket, the green
warning lamp flashes.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. Connect only one device at a time to
the socket (no extension or multi-way
connector).
Connect only devices with class II
insulation (shown on the device).
Do not use a device with a metal case.
As a safety measure, when electrical
consumption is high and when required
by the vehicle's electrical system
(particular weather conditions, electrical
overload...), the current supply to
the socket will be cut off; the green
indicator lamp goes off.

A setting around 21 enables you to
obtain an optimum level of comfort.
Depending on your requirements, a
setting between 18 and 24 is usual.
In addition, it is recommended that you
avoid a left /right setting difference of
more than 3.
Dual-zone automatic air conditioning
Offers the best compromise between
a comfortable temperature and quiet
operation.
Provides soft and quiet operation by
limiting air flow. Provides strong and effective air flow.

AUTO" button
repeatedly.
Automatic comfort mode TemperatureF Push the button down to
reduce the value or up to
increase it.
When the engine is cold, the air flow will
only reach its optimum level gradually
to prevent too great a distribution of
cold air.
In cold weather, it favours the
distribution of warm air to the
windscreen, the side windows and the
footwells only.
The active mode appears in the display screen,
as described below:
If desired, you can choose settings different
to those offered by the system, by adjusting a
setting manually. The other functions are still
managed automatically.
The "AUTO " symbol disappears if you modify
a setting.
Manual mode
The driver and front passenger can each set
the temperature to suit their requirements.
The value indicated in the screen corresponds
to a level of comfort and not to a temperature in
degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.

Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
In emergency braking, press ver y
firmly and maintain this pressure. When changing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that these are approved
for your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.
The fixed illumination of this warning
lamp indicates that there is a fault
with the ABS.
The vehicle retains conventional
braking. Drive carefully at moderate
speed.
When this warning lamp comes on,
coupled with the STOP and ABS
warning lamps, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message,
it indicates that there is a fault
with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD).
You must stop as soon as it is
safe to do so.
In both cases, have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop as soon as
possible.
Intelligent traction control
If fitted to your vehicle, it has a system to help
driving on snow: intelligent traction control .
This system detects situations of difficult
sur face adhesion that could make it difficult to
move off or make progress on deep fresh snow
or compacted snow.
In these situations, intelligent traction
control limits the amount of wheel slip to
provide the best traction and trajectory control
for your vehicle.
The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on sur faces offering low
levels of grip.

This mode, when moving off, allows
considerable spin on the wheel with the least
grip to optimise clearing of the mud and regain
grip. At the same time, the wheel with the most
grip is controlled in such a way as to transmit
as much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully
as possible.
(mode active up to 50 mph (80 km/h))F

P
lace the knob in this position. This mode allows little spin on the two driving
wheels at the same time to allow the vehicle to
move for ward and limit the risks of getting stuck
in the sand.
(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))
F

P
lace the knob in this position.
Do not use the other modes on sand as the
vehicle may become stuck. You can deactivate certain functions of the
ESC (ASR and DSC) by turning the knob to the
"
OFF " position.
These functions are reactivated automatically
from 30 mph (50 km/h) or every time the
ignition is switched back on.
All terrain (mud, damp grass, ...) Sand
Driving advice
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you
to drive on other less passable terrain
occasionally.
However, it does not permit off-road
driving such as:
-

c
rossing and driving on terrain
which could damage the underbody
or strip away components (fuel
pipe, fuel cooler...) due to obstacles
or stones in particular,
-

d
riving on terrain with steep
gradients and poor grip,
-

c
rossing a stream.

run the engine with the vehicle
stationary to warm it up, but rather
move off straight away and drive at
moderate engine speeds.
-
I
n wintry conditions, the pre-heater
warning lamp will stay on for a
longer period after switching on the
ignition; wait until it goes off before
starting.
-
In ver y severe wintr y
conditions


(temperature below
-23°C), to ensure the correct
operation and durability of the
mechanical components of your
vehicle (engine and gearbox), leave
the engine running for 4 minutes
before moving off.
Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion
engines emit toxic exhaust gases,
such as carbon monoxide. Danger of
intoxication and death. If the engine does not start straight
away, switch off the ignition.
Wait a few moments before trying
again. If the engine does not start after
a few attempts, do not keep trying: you
risk damaging the starter motor and
the
eng

ine.
Call on a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Gear shift indicator
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one or more gears.
You can follow this instruction without going
through the intermediate gears.-

Y
ou press the accelerator pedal.
-

Y
ou are in third gear.-

T
he system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear.
The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow.
On vehicles with manual gearbox, the arrow
may be accompanied by the recommended
g e a r.
The system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (gradient, load,
...)
and the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking,
...).
The system never suggests:
-

e
ngaging first gear,
-
enga

ging reverse gear.
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most suitable gear.
Example:
On certain BlueHDi Diesel versions
with manual gearbox, the system
may suggest changing into neutral
(N
is displayed in the instrument panel)
so that the engine can go into
standby (STOP mode with Stop &
Start), in certain driving conditions.
This function cannot be deactivated. The gear engagement
recommendations must not be
considered compulsory.
This is because the configuration of
the road, traffic density and safety
remain impor tant factors in the
choice of the best gear.
The gear shift indicator system does not
replace the need for vigilance on the
part of the driver.
