Activation/Deactivation
► With the engine running, press any button to
activate the system and deploy the projection
blade.
►

Press and hold button 2

to deactivate the
system and retract the projection blade.
The state of the system is saved when the
engine is switched off and restored on restarting.
Adjusting the height
► With the engine running, adjust the display to
the desired height using the buttons 4
:
• up to move the display up,
• down to move the display down.
Brightness adjustment
► With the engine running, adjust the
brightness of the information display using the
buttons
3:
•

on the "sun" to increase the brightness,
•


on the "moon" to decrease the brightness.
When stationary or while driving, no
objects should be placed around the
projection blade (or in its recess) so as not to
impede its movement and correct operation.
In certain extreme weather conditions
(rain and/or snow, bright sunshine, etc.),
the head-up display may not be legible or
may suffer temporary interference.
Some sunglasses may hamper reading of the
information.
To clean the projection blade, use a clean,
soft cloth (such as a spectacles cloth or
microfibre cloth). Do not use a dry or abrasive
cloth, or detergent or solvent products, due to
the risk of scratching the projection blade or
damaging the non-reflective coating.

Ease of use and comfort
Correct driving position
For safety reasons, adjustments must
only be made when the vehicle is
stationary.
Before taking to the road and to make the most
of the ergonomic layout of the instruments and
controls, carry out these adjustments in the
following order:
–

head restraint height.
–


seat backrest angle.
–


seat cushion height.
–


longitudinal seat position.
–


steering wheel height and reach.
–


rear view mirror and door mirrors.

Once these adjustments have been
made, check that the instrument panel
can be viewed correctly from your driving
position.
Front head restraints
Adjusting the height

Upwards:
► Pull the head restraint up to the desired
position; you can feel the head restraint clicking
into position.
Downwards:
►

Press lug

The head restraint is correctly adjusted when its upper edge is level with the top
of the head.
Removing a head restraint
► Tilt the backrest to the rear to make it easier
to remove the head restraint.
►

Pull the head restraint fully up.
►


Press lug

►


Press the lug
A to release the head restraint

Never drive with the head restraints
removed; they should be in place and
adjusted for the occupant of the seat.
Front seats
Before moving the seat backwards,
ensure that there is no person or object
that might prevent the full travel of the seat.
There is a risk of trapping or pinching
passengers if present in the rear seats or of
jamming the seat if large objects are placed
on the floor behind the seat.

Ease of use and comfort
Heated seats



The function is active only with the engine
running and when the outside temperature is
below 20°C.
►
Press the button corresponding to the seat.
►


Each press changes the heating level; the
corresponding number of indicator lamps come
on.
►


T
o switch off the heating, press the button
until all of the indicator lamps are off.
The system status is memorised when the
ignition is switched off.
Do not use the function when the seat
is not occupied.
Reduce the heating intensity as soon as
possible.
When the seat and passenger compartment
have reached a satisfactory temperature,
switch the function off; reducing electrical
consumption in turn decreases energy
consumption.
Prolonged use of heated seats is not
recommended for people with sensitive
skin.
There is a risk of burns for people whose
perception of heat is impaired (e.g.
illness,
taking medication).
To keep the heated pad intact and to prevent
a short circuit:
–

Do not place heavy or sharp objects on the
seat.
–


Do not kneel or stand on the seat.
–


Do not spill liquids onto the seat.
–


Never use the heating function if the seat
is damp.
Steering wheel

the steering wheel.
► Adjust the height and reach to suit your
driving position.
►

In cold weather, this function heats the circular
part of the steering wheel.
It can be activated when the outside temperature
is below 20°C.




► With the engine running, press this button to
activate/deactivate the function (confirmed by the
indicator lamp coming on/going out).
The system is automatically deactivated every
time the engine is switched off.

Lighting and visibility
4upwards or downwards, depending on the side
of the traffic (e.g. when parking on the right, push
the lighting control stalk down to light up on the
left).
This is confirmed by an audible signal and the
lighting of the corresponding direction indicator
lamp on the instrument panel.
►

T
o switch off the parking lamps, return the
lighting control stalk to the central position.
Automatic illumination of lamps
With the lighting control stalk in the “ AUTO”
position and if a low level of exterior brightness
is detected by the rain/sunshine sensor, the
sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are
switched on automatically, without any action on
the part of the driver. They may also come on if
rain is detected, at the same time as automatic
operation of the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to a sufficient
level or after the windscreen wipers are switched
off, the lamps are switched off automatically.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction of the rain/
sunshine sensor, the vehicle’s lamps
come on and this warning lamp is displayed on
the instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and/or the display of a message.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Do not cover the rain/sunshine sensor
located at the top centre of the
windscreen behind the interior rear view
mirror; the associated functions would no
longer be controlled.
In fog or snow, the rain/sunshine sensor
may detect sufficient light. For this
reason, the lighting will not come on
automatically.
The inner surface of the windscreen may become misted up and affect the proper
operation of the rain/sunshine sensor.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
