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
Height adjustment

Upward:► pull the head restraint up to the desired position; the head restraint can be felt to click
into position.
Downward:
► press the lug A and push the head restraint
down to the desired position.
The adjustment is correct when the upper edge of the head restraint is level
with the top of the head.
Removing a head restraint
► Pull the head restraint up as far as it will go.► Press the lug A to release the head restraint
and remove it completely.
► Stow the head restraint securely .
Refitting a head restraint
► Introduce the head restraint rods into the guides in the seat backrest.► Push the head restraint down as far as it will go.► Press the lug A to free the head restraint and
push it down.
► Adjust the height of the head restraint.
Never drive with the head restraints
removed; they should be in place and
correctly adjusted for the occupant of the
seat.
Front seats
For safety reasons, seat adjustments
must only be made when the vehicle is
stationary.
Adjustments
Forwards-backwards

► Raise the control bar and slide the seat forwards or backwards.► Release the bar to lock the seat in position on one of the notches.
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

► Lower the head restraints.► If necessary, move the front seats forward.► Pull the seats fully back (depending on version).► Check that no person or object will interfere with folding down the backrests (clothing,
luggage, etc.).
► Check that the outer seat belts are properly tensioned along the pillars, that the central belt
is stowed and that the tongues of the three belts
are correctly in the storage position.
Depending on version, the seat backrests are
equipped with a handle (bench seat with fixed
cushions) or a strap (bench seat on rails).


► Operate backrest release handle 1 or pull
strap 2.
► Guide backrest 3 down to the horizontal
position.
If the backrest is equipped with a strap, it
it not necessary to guide it down.
If the backrest is equipped with a handle,

their original position
First check that the outer seat belts are
lying vertically alongside the backrest
latching rings.


► Put backrest 3 in the upright position and
push firmly to latch it home.
► Check that release grip 1 has properly
returned to its position and that the red indicator
is no longer visible (depending on the version
you have).
► Ensure that the outer seat belts are not trapped during the manoeuvre.
When returning the rear seat backrest to
its original position, take care not to trap
the seat belts and ensure that their buckles
are positioned correctly.

Mirrors
Door mirrors

Demisting - Defrosting
Demisting-defrosting of the door mirrors operates with the engine running, by
switching on the heated rear screen.
For more information on Demisting - defrosting
the rear screen , refer to the corresponding
section.
Adjustment

► Move control A or turn control C (depending
on the version you have) to the right or to the left
to select the corresponding mirror.
► Move control B or C (depending on the
version you have) in any of the four directions to
adjust.
► Return control A or C (depending on the
version you have) to its centre position.
As a safety measure, the mirrors should be adjusted to reduce the "blind spots".
The objects observed are, in reality, closer
than they appear.
Take this into account in order to correctly
judge the distance of vehicles approaching
from behind.
Manual folding
You can manually fold the mirrors (parking
obstruction, narrow garage, etc.)

If the problem persists, have the system checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
USB port


A USB port is located on the central console.
It allows the connection of a portable device or a
USB memory stick.
It reads the audio files which are sent to your
audio system and played via the vehicle's
speakers.
You can manage these files using the steering
mounted controls or those on the touch screen
tablet.
When the USB port is used, the portable
device charges automatically.
A message is displayed if the power drawn
by the portable device exceeds the current
supplied by the vehicle.

Lighting and visibility
4• If the "AUTO" and "Main beam" indicator lamps were on, the system changes to dipped beam.
To reactivate the system, flash the headlamps
again.
The system may be disrupted or not work correctly:
– When visibility conditions are poor (snowfall, heavy rain, etc.).– If the windscreen in front of the camera is dirty, misted or obscured (for example, by a
sticker).
– If the vehicle is facing highly reflective signs.
When the system detects thick fog, it
temporarily deactivates the function.
The system is not able to detect:
– Road users that do not have their own lighting, such as pedestrians.– Vehicles whose lighting is obscured (for example, vehicles driving behind a safety
barrier on a motorway).
– Vehicles at the top or bottom of a steep slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.
Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the
camera.
The internal surface of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
obstruct the detection camera.
Headlamp beam height
adjustment



To avoid causing a nuisance to other road users,
the height of the headlamp beams should be
adjusted according to the load in the vehicle.
0. (Initial adjustment)
Driver only or driver + front passenger
1. Driver + front passenger + rear passengers +
maximum authorised load
2. Driver only + maximum authorised load
Cornering lighting

If your vehicle is so equipped, this system
makes use of the beam from a front foglamp to
illuminate the inside of a bend, when the main or
dipped beam headlamps are on and the vehicle
speed is below 25 mph (40 km/h) (urban driving,
winding road, intersections, parking manoeuvres,
etc.).
