Electric windows
1. Left-hand electric window control.
2. Right-hand electric window control.
Operation
► To open/close the window manually, press/
pull the switch without passing the point of
resistance; the window stops as soon as the
switch is released.
►
T
o open/close the window automatically,
press/pull the switch fully, beyond the point of
resistance; the window opens/closes completely
when the switch is released (pressing the switch
again stops the movement of the window).
The electric window controls remain operational for about 45 seconds after
the ignition is switched off if the front doors
are not open.
After that time, the controls are disabled. To
reactivate them, switch the ignition on again.
Safety anti-pinch
If your vehicle is fitted with the safety anti-pinch
function, when the window rises and meets an
obstacle, it stops and partially lowers.
In the event of unwanted opening of the window
on closing, press the control until the window
opens completely. Within 4 seconds, pull the
control until the window closes.
The safety anti-pinch does not operate while
doing this.
Reinitialising the electric
windows
After reconnecting the battery, or in the event
of abnormal window movement, the anti-pinch
function must be reinitialised.
The anti-pinch function is disabled during the
following sequence of operations.
For each window:
►
Lower the window fully
, then raise it; it will
rise in steps of a few centimetres each time the
control is pressed. Repeat the operation until the
window is fully closed.
►
Continue to pull the control for at least one
second after the window reaches the closed
position.
If an electric window meets an obstacle
during operation, the movement of the
window must be reversed. To do this, press
the relevant switch.
When the driver operates the passenger
electric window switch, it is important to
ensure that nothing can prevent the window
from closing properly.
Pay particular attention to children when
operating windows.

Ease of use and comfort
This function provides lumbar massage; it only
operates when the engine is running as well as
in STOP mode of the Stop & Start system.
Activation/Deactivation
► Press this button to activate/deactivate
the function.
Upon activation, the indicator lamp comes on.
The massage function is activated for a period
of one hour.
During this time, massage is performed in
6 cycles of 10 minutes (6 minutes of massage
followed by a 4-minute break).
After one hour, the function is deactivated; the
indicator lamp goes off.
Adjustment of intensity
Press this button to adjust the intensity of
the massage.
Two levels of massage are available.
Heated seats and bench
seat
If fitted to your vehicle.
► With the engine running, use the adjustment
knob to switch on and select the level of heating
required from
0
(off) to 3 (high).
Prolonged use of heated seats is not
recommended for people with sensitive
skin.
There is a risk of burns for people whose
perception of heat is impaired (illness, taking
medication, etc.).
To keep the heated pad intact and to prevent
a short circuit:
–
Do not place heavy or sharp objects on the
seat.
–
Do not kneel or stand on the seat.
–
Do not spill liquids onto the seat.
–
Never use the heating function if the seat
is damp.
Do not use the function when the seat
is not occupied.
Reduce the heating intensity as soon as
possible.
When the seat and passenger compartment
have reached a satisfactory temperature,
switch the function off; reducing electrical
consumption in turn decreases energy
consumption.

winter
, above 3°C.
On/Off
► Press button 5 to activate/deactivate the air
conditioning system.
When the air conditioning is in operation, to
cool the air more quickly, you can use interior
air recirculation for a few moments by pressing
button 4. Then restore the intake of exterior air.
The air conditioning does not operate when the air flow adjustment is set to off.

Driving
Brakes
Braking distances are increased when towing a
trailer. To avoid overheating the brakes, the use
of engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more
susceptible to wind when towing.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The remote control contains an electronic chip
which has a special code. When the ignition is
switched on, this code must be recognised in
order for starting to be possible.
A few seconds after switching off the ignition,
this system locks the engine control system,
therefore preventing the engine from being
started in the event of a break-in.
In the event of a fault, you are informed
by illumination of this warning lamp, an
audible signal and a message on the screen.
The vehicle will not start; contact a CITROËN
dealer as soon as possible.
Starting/switching off the
engine
Starting
The parking brake must be applied.
►
With a
manual gearbox, place the gear lever
in neutral, fully depress the clutch pedal and
keep the pedal down until the engine starts.
►
W
ith an automatic gearbox, place the
selector in position P then depress the brake
pedal.
With the conventional key / With the
remote control key
1. Stop position.
2. Ignition on position.
3. Starting position.
►
Insert the key into the ignition switch.
The
system recognises the starting code.
► Unlock the steering column by simultaneously
turning the steering wheel and the key.
In certain circumstances, a significant
effort may be required to turn the
steering wheel (if the wheels are against a
kerb, for example).
►
T
urn the key to position
2
, ignition on, to
operate the engine preheating system.
► Wait until this warning lamp goes off in
the instrument panel, then operate the
starter motor by turning the key to position
3
without pressing the accelerator pedal, until the
engine starts. Once the engine starts, release
the key.
The warning lamp does not come on if the engine is already hot.In certain
climatic conditions, it is advised to follow the
recommendations below:
–
In mild conditions, do not leave the engine
at idle to warm up but move off straight away
and drive at moderate speed.
–
In wintry conditions, the preheater warning
lamp will stay on for a longer period after
switching on the ignition; wait until it goes off
before starting.
–
In very severe wintry conditions
(temperature below -23°C), to ensure correct
operation and durability of the mechanical
components of the vehicle (engine and
gearbox), leave the engine running for
4
minutes before starting the vehicle.
Never leave the engine running in an
enclosed area without adequate ventilation:
internal combustion engines emit toxic
exhaust gases, such as carbon monoxide.
Danger of poisoning and death!
If the engine does not start immediately,
switch off the ignition.
Wait a few seconds before operating the
starter motor again. If the engine does not
start after several attempts, do not keep
trying: risk of damaging the starter motor and
the engine.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
With the Keyless Entry and Starting
