Range
(miles or km)
The distance which can still be travelled with the fuel remaining in the tank (related
to the average fuel consumption over the last
few miles (kilometres) travelled).
This value may fluctuate if a change of driving style or terrain results in a
significant change in the current fuel
consumption.
Dashes are displayed when the range falls below
20 miles (30 km).
After filling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range
is recalculated and is displayed if it exceeds 60
miles (100 km).
If dashes instead of figures continue to
be displayed when driving, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

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.

Lighting and visibility
4Lighting control
Never look too closely at the luminous
beam of LED lamps: risk of serious eye
injury!
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes.
Travelling abroad
Vehicles equipped with halogen
headlamps:
If planning to use your vehicle in a country
that drives on the other side of the road, the
headlamp dipped beams must be adjusted to
avoid dazzling oncoming drivers. Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If one or more lamps fails, a message
asks you to check the lamp or lamps
concerned.
Main lighting


Automatic illumination of lamps/daytime running lampsSidelamps only
Dipped or main beam headlamps
Headlamp dipping

► Pull the stalk to switch between dipped and
main beam headlamps.
In “AUTO” and sidelamps modes, the driver can
switch on the main beam headlamps temporarily
(“headlamp flash”) by pulling the stalk.
Display
Illumination of the corresponding indicator lamp
in the instrument panel confirms that the lighting
selected is on.

This is confirmed by an audible signal and the
lighting of the corresponding direction indicator
lamp on the instrument panel.
► To switch off the parking lamps, return the lighting control stalk to the central position.
Automatic illumination of
headlamps
When the ring is at the "AUTO" position and
a low level of ambient light is detected by a
sunshine sensor, the number plate lamps, side lamps and dipped beam headlamps are switched
on automatically, without any action on the
part of the driver. They can also come on if
rain is detected, at the same time as automatic
operation of the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the light returns to a sufficient level
or after the windscreen wipers are switched off,
the lamps are switched off automatically.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the sunshine sensor, the lighting comes on,
this warning lamp is displayed in the instrument
panel accompanied by an audible signal and/or a
message.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
They operate with the sidelamps or dipped beam headlamps on, in manual or
auto mode.
► Press and rotate the ring:– forwards a 1st time to switch on the front
foglamps.
– forwards a 2nd time to switch on the rear
foglamp.
– backwards a 1st time to switch off the rear
foglamp.
– backwards a 2nd time to switch off the front
foglamps.
When the lamps are switched off automatically
(with AUTO model) or when the dipped beam
headlamps are switched off manually, the
foglamps and sidelamps remain on.
► Rotate the ring backwards to switch the foglamps off; the sidelamps will then switch off.
In good or rainy weather, by day and
night, using the front and rear foglamps
is prohibited. In these situations, the power of
their beams may dazzle other drivers. They
should only be used in fog or falling snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility to switch on the foglamps and
dipped beam headlamps manually as the
sunshine sensor may detect sufficient light.
Do not forget to turn off the front and rear
foglamps as soon as they are no longer
necessary.
Switching off of the lamps when the
ignition is switched off
When the ignition is switched off, all of the
lamps turn off immediately, except for dipped
beam headlamps if automatic guide-me-home
lighting is activated.
Switching on the lamps after
switching off the ignition
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate the
ring to the "AUTO" position, then to the
desired position.
If the driver's door is opened, a temporary
audible signal warns the driver that the lamps
are on.
They will go off automatically after a period of
time that depends on the state of charge of
the battery (entering energy economy mode).
