Brightness of the
instruments and controls
The brightness of the instruments and
controls can be adjusted using the MODE
button, with the sidelamps on.
For more information on Vehicle configuration
(MODE), refer to the corresponding section.
Warning and indicator
lamps
Displayed as symbols, the warning and indicator
lamps inform the driver of the occurrence of a
malfunction (warning lamps) or of the operating
status of a system (operation or deactivation
indicator lamps). Certain lamps light up in two
ways (fixed or flashing) and/or in several colours.
Associated warnings
The illumination of a lamp may be accompanied
by an audible signal and/or a message displayed
in a screen.
Relating the type of alert to the operating status
of the vehicle allows you to determine whether
the situation is normal or whether a fault has
occurred: refer to the description of each lamp
for further information.
When the ignition is switched on
Certain red or orange warning lamps come on
for a few seconds when the ignition is switched
on. These warning lamps should go off as soon
as the engine is started.

Indicators
Service information
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the spanner symbolising service information
comes on: the screen informs you when the next
service is due, in accordance with the servicing
schedule indicated in the manufacturer's service
schedule.


This information is determined in relation to the
distance travelled since the previous service.
Engine oil level
Depending on the engine, the engine oil level is
then displayed, on a scale of 1 (Min) to 5 (Max).
If no scale is displayed, the oil level is
insufficient; it is essential to top it up to prevent
engine damage.
For the measurement of this level to be valid, the
vehicle must be parked on horizontal ground,
with the engine having been off for more than 30
minutes.
If in doubt, check the oil level using the
dipstick.
For more information on Checking levels,
refer to the corresponding section.


After a few seconds, the display returns to its
standard functions.
Engine oil quality
This warning lamp flashes and, if your vehicle is equipped with this function, a
message is displayed at each start: the system
has detected a deterioration of the engine oil. It
is essential to change the oil as soon as
possible.
This 2nd warning lamp, coupled with the
1st, lights up on the instrument panel if the
oil change has not been carried out, and the
degradation of the oil has exceeded a new
threshold. If this warning lamp comes on at

11
Instruments
1regular intervals, the oil has to be changed as
soon as possible.
For 3.0 L HDi engines, the engine speed
is then limited to 3,000 rpm, then 1,500
rpm until the oil is changed. Change the
engine oil to prevent damage.
Resetting the service
indicator
A qualified workshop, equipped with the
diagnostic tool, will stop the permanent flashing
of the warning lamp after each service.
If you have serviced the vehicle yourself, reset
the service indicator as follows:
► Insert the key into the ignition switch.
► Turn it to the MAR - ON position.
► Simultaneously depress the brake and
accelerator pedals for more than 15 seconds.
Refer to the checklist in the
manufacturer's service schedule
provided on delivery of the vehicle.
Reminder of the servicing
information
To access the service indications at any
time, briefly press the MODE button.
Use the up/down arrows to view service intervals
and engine oil quality.
Pressing the MODE button again allows you to
return to the various display menus.
A long press allows you to return to the home
screen.

Coolant temperature

If the needle is positioned between C (Cold)
and H (Hot): normal operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic
conditions, the needle may move close to the red
graduations.
If the needle enters the red zone or if the
warning lamp lights up:
► stop immediately, turn the ignition off. The
cooling fan may continue to run for a while, up to
approximately 10 minutes.
► wait for the engine to cool down to check the
level and if necessary, top it up.
In case of topping up
Be careful, the cooling circuit is under pressure!
To avoid any risk of burns, take a cloth and
unscrew the cap two turns to relieve the
pressure.
When the pressure has dropped, check the level
and remove the cap to top up.
If the needle remains in the red zone,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Ease of use and comfort
3Delayed starting of the
heating system
The start time can be programmed between 1
minute and 24 hours in advance.
You can memorise up to three different start
times, but only programme a single delayed
start.
To perform a daily start at a fixed time, reprogramme the memorised time each
day.
► Press button 3; the screen comes on.
The - -:- - symbol or the previous memorised
time and the corresponding preset number (1, 2
or 3) are displayed for 10 seconds.
To recall the other preset times, press button 3 several times before the end of
the 10 seconds.
Within 10 seconds, press one of the buttons 1 to
select the desired start time.
The memorisation is confirmed by the
disappearance of the start time, the display of
the preset number (1, 2 or 3) and the lighting of
the screen.
By default, preset times are already
memorised in the system (1 = 06:00, 2 =
16:00, 3 = 22:00). Any change cancels and
replaces the previous preset time.
If the battery is disconnected, the default
preset times will be restored.
Cancelling the programming
► To delete the programmed start time, briefly
press button 3.
The lighting of the screen and the preset number
(1, 2 or 3) go off.
Recalling one of the preset
start times
► Press button 3 as many times as necessary
until the number corresponding to the desired
preset start time (1, 2 or 3) appears.
After ten seconds, the time disappears but
remains memorised while the corresponding
number (1, 2 or 3) and the screen remain on.
Setting the operating
duration
The operating duration can be set between 10
and 60 minutes.
► Press and hold button 3.
► Press simultaneously one of the buttons 1.
The time and the time setting indicator lamp light
up.
► Press and hold button 3 again.
► Press simultaneously one of the buttons 1
again.
The programmed operating duration is displayed
and the heating or ventilation cycle indicator
lamp flashes.
► Set the duration by pressing one of the
buttons 1.
The memorisation is confirmed by the
disappearance of the duration on the screen or
by pressing button 3 again.
Switching the heating off
In the event of a delayed start, the heating
switches off automatically at the end of the
programmed duration.
► In the event of an immediate start, press
button 2 again to switch it off manually.
The heating cycle indicator lamp and the screen
switch off.
Have the additional heating checked at
least once a year at the beginning of
winter. Maintenance and repairs should only
be carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Use only genuine replacement parts.
To avoid the risks of poisoning or asphyxia, the additional heating must not
be used, even for short periods, in a closed
environment such as a garage or workshop
which are not equipped with an exhaust gas
extraction system.
The additional heating switches off when the
battery voltage is low, so as to allow engine
starting.
The additional heating is fed by the vehicle's
fuel tank. Ensure that the low fuel warning
lamp is not on.

Safety
Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Switching on
The DSC system is activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.
It comes into operation in the event of a grip or
trajectory problem.
This is indicated by the flashing of this warning lamp on the instrument panel.
Deactivation
This system cannot be deactivated by the driver.
Malfunction
The lighting of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and
confirmed by a message on the instrument panel
display, indicates a malfunction of the DSC
system.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Deactivation / Reactivation
The ASR system is activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
Electronic stability control
(ESC)
Electronic stability control (ESC: Electronic
Stability Control) integrating the following
systems:
– anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic
brake force distribution (EBFD),
– emergency braking assistance (EBA),
– wheel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction
control,
– dynamic stability control (DSC).
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and
Electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD)
This system improves the stability and handling
of your vehicle when braking and contributes
towards improved control on bends, in particular
on poor or slippery road surfaces.
ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of
emergency braking.
EBFD manages the braking pressure wheel by
wheel.
Emergency braking assistance (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you
to reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance. It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is depressed. The effect of this
is a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and
an increase in braking efficiency.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Traction
Control) optimises traction in order to limit
wheel slip, by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine. It also improves the
directional stability of the vehicle on acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path followed
by the vehicle and that required by the driver, the
DSC monitors each wheel and automatically acts
on the brake of one or more wheels and on the
engine to return the vehicle to the required path,
within the limits of the laws of physics.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBD)
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal and a
message in an instrument panel screen, it
indicates a fault with the anti-lock braking system
(ABS) which could result in loss of control of the
vehicle when braking.
If these warning lamps come on,
accompanied by a message in the
instrument panel screen, it indicates a fault with
the electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)
system which could result in loss of control of the
vehicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
For maximum braking efficiency, a
bedding-in period of around 300 miles
(500 kilometres) is needed. During this
period, it is advisable to avoid any sudden,
repeated and prolonged braking.
The ABS does not provide shorter braking distances. On very slippery
surfaces (ice, oil, etc.) the ABS may extend
braking distances.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
For emergency braking, press the
brake pedal very hard and do not
release it, even on a slipper surface; you
will then be able to continue steering the
vehicle to avoid an obstacle.
After an impact, have these systems checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Deactivation / Reactivation
The ASR system is activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR system, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip.
Reactivate the system as soon as the level of
grip permits.



ASR

► Press this button to deactivate / reactivate the
function.
The illumination of the button indicator lamp,
accompanied by a message on the instrument
panel display screen, indicates that the ASR
system is deactivated.
The ASR system is automatically reactivated
every time the ignition is switched off
Malfunction
The lighting of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and
confirmed by a message on the instrument panel
display, indicates a malfunction of the ASR
system.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
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 observation 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.
Intelligent Traction Control
Traction assistance system on roads with low
grip (snow, ice, mud, etc.).
This system makes it possible to detect the
situations of precarious grip which can make the
starting and the progress of the vehicle difficult.
In these situations, the Intelligent Traction
Control system overrides the ASR system by
transferring the driving force to the wheel with
the greatest contact with the ground to optimise
traction and trajectory tracking.
