In cold weather with the engine cold,
the air flow is increased gradually until
the system has warmed up, 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 value setting, 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.
This setting is associated with AUTO mode
only. However, on deactivation of AUTO mode,
the last setting remains on.
Changing the setting does not reactivate AUTO
mode if deactivated.
When the indicator lamp in the button is on, the
air conditioning system operates automatically:
the system manages the temperature, air
flow and air distribution in the passenger
compartment in an optimum way according to
the comfort level selected.
You can always choose to modify a setting
manually. In this case the indicator lamp in the
button is off.

Blind Spot Monitoring System
Activation / Deactivation
A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on
the side in question:
-
i
mmediately, when being overtaken,
-
a
fter a delay of about one second, when
overtaking a vehicle slowly.
This system warns the driver of the presence of
another vehicle in the blind spot angle of their
vehicle (areas masked from the driver's field
of vision), as soon as this presents a potential
danger. Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.
The state of the system remains in memory on
switching off the ignition.
This system is designed to improve safety when driving and is in no circumstances a
substitute for the use of the interior rear view mirror and door mirrors. It is the driver's
responsibility to constantly check the traffic, to assess the distances and relative speeds of
other vehicles and to predict their movements before deciding whether to change lane.
This system is a driving aid that cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver. Activation and deactivation of the system is
done in the Driving
menu of the touch screen.
Select the " Driving functions " tab, then
" Blind spot sensors ".
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel.
To deactivate the system, select " Blind spot
sensors " again in the " Driving functions " tab.
The indicator lamp goes off.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towbar approved by
CITROËN.

Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object...), nor fix or attach anything close to
the inflation trajectory of the airbags; this
could cause injuries during their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned
are observed, a risk of injury or of minor
burns to the head, chest or arms when an
airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. The
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose.Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its
spokes or resting your hands on the centre
part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags
can cause burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or
hit it violently.
Do not fit or attach anything to the steering
wheel or dashboard, this could cause
injuries with deployment of the airbags.
Advice
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact a CITROËN dealer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs (clothing...). This could cause injury
to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is
deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This
could cause injury to the head if the curtain
airbag is deployed.
If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the
grab handles installed on the roof, they play
a part in securing the curtain airbags.
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the safety recommendations below:
The vehicle's front door panels include side
impact sensors.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or
incorrectly executed work (modification or
repair) on the front doors or their interior trim
could compromise the operation of these
sensors - Risk of malfunction of the lateral
airbags!
Such work must only be done by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
