Screenwash/headlamp wash
level low
In the case of vehicles fitted with
headlamp washers, when the fluid
reser voir low level is reached this
warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message.
The warning lamp comes on when the ignition
is switched on, or every time the stalk is
operated, until the reser voir is refilled.
Next time you stop, refill the screenwash/
headlamp wash reservoir.
Heated windscreen and
washer jets
(depending on country of sale)
This function heats the windscreen and washer
jets under cold conditions. In area 1
, the heating frees the wiper blades
when they are stuck by snow or ice.
In area 2 , the heating improves visibility by
avoiding the accumulation of snow when the
wipers are operating.
Switching on
With the engine running, press this
button; its indicator lamp comes on.
Windscreen and headlamp
wash
On vehicles fitted with automatic air
conditioning, any action on the windscreen
wash control results in temporary closing
of the air intake to avoid odours inside the
passenger compartment.

countries where the ser vice is not operational,
or where the location ser vice has been
expressly refused, the call is directed directly to
the emergency services (112) without location.

Contact a qualified repairer as soon as
possible. The fault with the system does not prevent
the vehicle being driven.

Dynamic stability control (DSC)
and anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
As soon as they detect a problem of grip or
trajectory, these systems act on the operation
of the engine and brakes. This is indicated by the warning
lamp flashing in the instrument
panel.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (moving a vehicle that
is bogged down in mud, stuck in snow, on loose
soil, etc.), it may prove useful to deactivate the
DSC/ASR systems, so that the wheels can
move freely and regain grip.
It is however recommended that the system be
reactivated as soon as possible.
Press this button.
Or Place the knob in this position.
The indicator lamp for the button or
thumbwheel comes on: the DSC/ASR system
no longer acts on the operation of the engine.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched off, or from
around 30 mph (50 km/h).
However, below around 30
mph (50 km/h) you
can manually reactivate the systems. Press this button.
Or Place the knob in this position.
The indicator lamp for the button or for the
thumbwheel goes off.
Operating fault
Illumination of the warning lamp
accompanied by a message in the
screen indicates a malfunction of
these systems.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.

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))
