Ease of use and comfort
3Storage compartments

► For access to the closed storage box, lift the
lever to open the lid.


► To access the open storage under the
armrest, lift the armrest fully backward.
USB socket

A USB port is located on the central console.
It allows the connection of portable devices or
USB memory sticks.
It reads the audio files and sends them to your
audio system to be played through the vehicle's
speakers.
You can manage these files using the audio
system control panel and display them in the
screen.
When the USB port is used, the portable device
charges automatically.
While charging, a message is displayed if the
current drawn by the portable device exceeds
the power rating of the vehicle's port.
Cigarette lighter/12 V
accessory socket(s)


► To use the cigarette lighter, press it in and
wait a few seconds until it pops out automatically.
►

T
o use a 12 V accessory (max. power:
120
W), remove the cigarette lighter and connect
a suitable adaptor.
You can use this socket to connect a telephone
charger, a bottle warmer, etc.
After use, put the cigarette lighter back into place
straight away.
The connection of an electrical device not approved by CITROËN, such as a
USB charger, may adversely affect the
operation of vehicle electrical systems,
causing faults such as poor radio reception or
interference with displays in the screens.

Practical information
7“Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible” – it is
essential to add at least 10 litres.
Top-up detection may not be instantaneous
after addition. It may take a few minutes of
driving before the top-up detection is effective.
Do not dispose of AdBlue® bottles or
containers in the household waste.
Place them in a container reserved for this
purpose or take them back to where you
purchased them.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.
Snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Observe the legislation in force in your
country relating to the use of snow
chains and maximum authorised speeds.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle :
Original tyre size Maximum link size 185/65 R15 9 mm
195/55 R16
For more information on snow chains, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Installation tips
► To fit the snow chains during a journey, stop
the vehicle on a flat surface at the side of the
road.
►

Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of the vehicle.
►


Fit the snow chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer

.
►

Move off gently and drive for a few moments,
without exceeding 31

mph (50 km/h).
►

Stop the vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that you
practise fitting the snow chains on a level
and dry surface before setting off.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Energy economy mode
This system manages the duration of use of
certain functions, in order to conserve a sufficient
level of charge in the battery with the ignition off.
After switching off the engine and for a maximum
cumulative period of around 30 minutes, you can
continue to use functions such as the audio and
telematics system, dipped beam headlamps or
courtesy lamps.
Selecting the mode
A confirmation message is displayed when
energy economy mode is entered, and the active
functions are placed on standby.
If a telephone call is in progress at the
time, it will be maintained for around 10
minutes via the audio system’s hands-free
system.
Exiting the mode
These functions are automatically reactivated the
next time the vehicle is used.
To restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
–

For less than 10 minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately 5 minutes.
–


For more than 10 minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately 30 minutes.
Let the engine run for the specified duration to
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.

Bluetooth® audio system
Bluetooth® audio system

As a safety measure and because it requires sustained attention by the driver,
the pairing of a Bluetooth mobile telephone
with the Bluetooth hands-free system of your
audio system must be done with the vehicle
stationary and the ignition on.
Your audio system is coded in such a way that it will only operate in your
vehicle.
All work on the system must be carried out
exclusively by a dealer or qualified workshop,
to avoid any risk of electrocution, fire or
mechanical faults.
To avoid discharging the battery, the audio system may switch off after a few
minutes if the engine is not running.

RDS
RDS, if displayed, makes it possible to
continue listening to the same radio
station using the alternative frequencies
function. However, in certain conditions,
coverage of an RDS station may not be
assured throughout the entire country as
radio stations do not cover 100% of the
territory. This explains the loss of reception of
the station during a journey.
With the radio displayed on the screen,
press OK to display the contextual menu.
Select "RDS" and confirm to save.
"RDS" is displayed in the screen.
Play TA messages
The TA (Traffic Announcement) function gives priority to TA alert messages. To

is interrupted automatically to play the TA
message. Normal play of the media
previously playing is resumed at the end of
the message.
