230 V/50 Hz power socket
If fitted, a 230 V/50 Hz socket (maximum
p ower: 150 W) is located underneath the front
right seat and is therefore accessible from the
second row.
It operates with the engine running, as well as
in STOP mode of Stop & Start.

It allows the connection of a portable device so
that you can listen to your music files via the
vehicle's speakers.
As a safety measure, when electrical
consumption is high and when required by
the vehicle's electrical system (particular
weather conditions, electrical overload,
etc.), the current supply to the socket will

Manual mode
If you wish, you can make a different choice
from that offered by the system by changing
a setting. The other functions will still be
automatically managed.
The "AUTO " symbol disappears if you modify
a setting.
Deactivating the system
F Press this button until the fan symbol disappears.
This action switches off all of the functions of
the system.

flow can still be felt, however, resulting from the

A setting of around 21

a setting between 18

In addition, it is recommended that you
avoid a left /right setting difference of more
than 3.
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 the required level of comfort. The
system compensates automatically and
corrects the temperature difference as
quickly as possible. For maximum cooling or heating of the

to exceed the minimum value 14

An audible signal when a front door is
opened warns the driver that the vehicle's
exterior lighting is on, with the ignition off
and in manual lighting mode.
In this case, switching off the lighting
stops the audible signal.
The lighting goes off when you switch off
the ignition, but you can always switch it
on again using the lighting control stalk.
Travelling abroad
If using your vehicle in a country that
drives on the other side of the road, the
headlamps must be adjusted to avoid
dazzling on-coming drivers.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. In good or rainy weather, by both day and
night, use of the front foglamps and the
rear foglamps are prohibited. In these
situations, the power of their beams may
dazzle other drivers. They should only be
used in fog or falling snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility to switch on the foglamps
and dipped headlamps manually as the
sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light.
Switch off the front and rear foglamps
when they are no longer necessary.

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 during touring use).
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.
Standard (ESC)
F Place the knob in this position.
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.
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.
Associated with all-seasons Peak
Mountain Snow Flake tyres, this system
offers a compromise between safety, grip
and traction. These tyres are efficient in
winter and summer conditions. This mode is calibrated for a low level of wheel
spin, based on the different levels of grip
normally encountered on the road.
Every time the ignition is switched off, the
system automatically resets to this mode.

Snow
F Place the knob in this position.
All terrain (mud, damp
grass, etc.)
F Place the knob in this position.
This mode, when moving off, allows
considerable spin on the wheel with the least
grip to optimise clearing of the mud and to
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))
Sand
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 the ASR
and DSC systems by turning
the knob to the " OFF" position.
The ASR and DSC systems will no longer act
on the engine operation or the brakes in the
event of an involuntary change of trajectory.
These systems are reactivated automatically
from around 30 mph (50 km/h) or every time
the ignition is switched on.
This mode adapts its strategy to the conditions
of grip encountered for each of the two front
wheels on moving off.
(mode active up to 30 mph (50 km/h))

n wintry conditions, the pre-heater
warning lamp will stay on for a longer

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. Risk of poisoning and death. If the engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition.
Wait a few seconds before restarting the
engine. If the engine does not start after
several attempts, do not keep trying: you
risk damaging the starter motor or the
engine.
Call a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
