Instruments
Average speed
(mph or km/h)Calculated since the last trip computer reset.
Distance travelled
(miles or km)Calculated since the last trip computer reset.Stop & Start time counter
(minutes / seconds or hours / minutes)
A time counter calculates the time spent in STOP
mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on.

A few definitions…
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.
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)Calculated over the last few seconds.
This function is only displayed above 20 mph (30 km/h).
Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)Calculated since the last trip computer reset.

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,
its red indicator is visible when it is
released.
Returning the backrests to
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.
The contents of the boot may be thrown
forward - Risk of serious injury!

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.)

98
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.
