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.

Folding/unfolding during locking/
unlocking can be disabled. Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If necessary, the mirrors can be folded
manually.
Rear view mirror
Equipped with an anti-dazzle system, which
darkens the mirror glass and reduces the
nuisance to the driver caused by the sun,
headlights of other vehicles, etc.
Manual model
Day/night position
► Pull the lever to change to the anti-dazzle "night” position.
► Push the lever to change to the normal "day" position.
Adjustment
► Set the mirror to the normal “day” position.
Automatic "electrochrome" model
This system automatically and progressively
transitions between day and night modes, using
a sensor that measures the light entering from
the rear of the vehicle.
To ensure optimum visibility during your manoeuvres, the mirror lightens
automatically when reverse gear is engaged.
Ventilation
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger compartment
is filtered and originates either from the
exterior, via the grille located at the base of the
windscreen, or from the inside in air recirculation
mode.
Controls
Depending on version, the controls are
accessible in the " Air conditioning" touch
screen menu or are grouped together in the
control panel on the centre console.
The demisting/defrosting controls for the
windscreen and the rear screen are located
below the touch screen, or on the centre console
panel located below the audio system.
Air distribution
1. Windscreen demisting/defrosting vents
2. Front side window demisting/defrosting vents
3.Adjustable and closable side air vents
4. Adjustable and closable central air vents
5. Air outlets to the front footwells
6. Air outlets to the rear footwells
Advice
Using the ventilation and air
conditioning system
► To ensure that air is distributed evenly, keep the external air intake grilles at the base
of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents, the
air outlets and the air extractor in the boot
free from obstructions.
► Do not cover the sunshine sensor located on the dashboard; this sensor is used to
regulate the automatic air conditioning
system.
► Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to
keep it in perfect working order.
► If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep
gradient in high temperatures, switching off
the air conditioning increases the available
engine power, enhancing the towing capacity.
Avoid driving for too long with the
ventilation off or with prolonged operation

Lighting and visibility
4the left, moving the lighting control stalk upwards
turns on the right-hand sidelamps).
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.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor,
integrated with the rain sensor and
located at the top centre of the windscreen
behind the rear view mirror; the associated
functions would no longer be controlled.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor may
detect sufficient light. In this case, the
lighting will not come on automatically.
Daytime running lamps /
Sidelamps
The front and rear lamps light up automatically
when the engine starts.
They provide the following functions:
– Daytime running lamps (lighting control stalk
at position "AUTO" with adequate light level).
– Sidelamps (lighting control stalk in "AUTO"
position with low light level or "Sidelamps only”
or "Dipped/main beam headlamps").
In daytime running lamps mode, the
diodes are brighter.
Guide-me-home lighting
Automatic
With the "Automatic illumination of headlamps"
function activated (lighting control stalk at the
AUTO position), under low ambient light, the
dipped beam headlamps come on automatically
when the ignition is switched off.
Activation, deactivation and the duration of the
guide-me-home lighting are set in the vehicle
parameters menu.

Driving
► In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel
(depending on equipment).
The alert is kept active until the system is reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressure of one or more tyres,
and after changing one or more wheels.
Before reinitialising the system, make
sure that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and conform to the values written on
the tyre pressure label.
Check the pressures of the four tyres before
performing the reinitialisation.
The system does not advise if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
The reinitialisation of the system is done with the
ignition on and the vehicle stationary:
– Via the vehicle configuration menu for vehicles fitted with a touch screen.– Via the button on the dashboard for vehicles without a touch screen.
With / Without audio system
► Hold this button down.Reinitialisation is confirmed by a high-pitched
audible signal.
A low-pitched audible signal indicates that the
reset operation has not been successful.
With touch screen
► In the menu Driving / Vehicle, select
the tab "Driving functions ", then "Reset
under-inflation detection ".
► Select "Ye s" to confirm.
The reinitialisation is confirmed by the display of
a message and an audible signal.
Malfunction
The illumination of these warning lamps
indicates a fault with the system.
A message appears, accompanied by an audible
signal.
In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer assured.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Driving and manoeuvring
aids - General
recommendations
Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must comply with the Highway
Code, must remain in control of the vehicle in
all circumstances and must be able to retake
control of it at all times. The driver must adapt
the speed to climactic conditions, traffic and
the state of the road.
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly
check the traffic, to assess the relative
distances and speeds of other vehicles and to
anticipate their movements before indicating
and changing lane.
The systems cannot exceed the limits of the
laws of physics.
Driving aids
You should hold the steering wheel
with both hands, always use the interior and
exterior rear view mirrors, always keep the
feet close to the pedals and take a break
every two hours.
Manoeuvring aids
The driver must always check the
surroundings of the vehicle before and during
the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the mirrors.
Driving aids camera
This camera and its associated functions
may be impaired or not work if the windscreen
area in front of the camera is dirty, misty,
frosty, covered with snow, damaged or
masked by a sticker.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle
(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun,
reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel,
alternating shade and light) can also impair
detection performance.
In the event of a windscreen replacement,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to recalibrate the camera;
otherwise, the operation of the associated
driving aids may be disrupted.

approached at the level of the red line (less than
30 cm) during a manoeuvre.
Standard view
The area behind the vehicle is displayed on the
screen. The blue lines
1 represent the width of your
vehicle, with the mirrors unfolded; their direction
changes depending on the position of the
steering wheel.
The red line 2 represents a distance of 30 cm
from the rear bumper; the two blue lines 3 and 4
represent 1 m and 2 m, respectively.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the
view selection menu.
Zoom view
The camera records the vehicle's surroundings
during the manoeuvre in order to create a
view from above the rear of the vehicle in its
near surroundings, allowing the vehicle to be
manoeuvred around obstacles nearby.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the
view selection menu.
