► To connect a 12 V accessory (maximum
power: 120 Watts), lift the cover and plug in a
suitable adapter.
Observe the maximum power rating to
avoid damaging the accessory.
The connection of an electrical device not approved by CITROËN, such as a
USB charger, may adversely affect the
operation of vehicle electrical systems,
causing faults such as poor radio reception or
interference with displays in the screens.
USB socket
The socket can be used to connect a portable
device or a USB memory stick.
The socket reads audio files that are sent to your
audio system to be played through the vehicle's
speakers.
These files can be managed using the steering-
mounted controls or those on the audio system.
The USB socket also allows a smartphone to be connected by
Android Auto
® or CarPlay®, enabling certain
smartphone applications to be used on the touch
screen.
For best results, use a cable made or approved
by the device manufacturer.
These applications can be managed using the
steering-mounted controls or the audio system
controls.
When the USB socket is used, the
portable device charges automatically.
While charging, a message is displayed if the
power drawn by the portable device exceeds
the current supplied by the vehicle.
For more information about how to use this
equipment, refer to the sections describing
the audio and telematics systems.
220 V socket
Depending on version, a 220 V/50 Hz socket
(maximum power: 150 W) is located underneath
the front right-hand seat and therefore
accessible from row 2.
This socket works with the engine running, as
well as in STOP mode of
Stop & Start.
► Lift the cover.
► Check that the indicator lamp is on green.

Connect your multimedia or other electrical
device (telephone charger
, laptop computer,
CD-DVD player, bottle warmer, etc.).

The temperature pre-conditioning sequence
begins approximately 45 minutes before the
programmed time when the vehicle is connected
(20 minutes when it is not connected) and is
maintained for 10 minutes after.
You can set multiple programmes. Each one is saved in the system.
If the system is switched on using the
long-range remote control, the maximum
heating duration is around 45
min.
The ventilation is activated provided that the battery is sufficiently charged.
The heating is activated provided that:
–
the battery charge and the fuel level are
sufficient,
–
the engine has been started since the
previous heating cycle,
–
60
minutes have elapsed between two
heating requests.
Programmable heating is supplied by the
vehicle fuel tank. Before use, make sure
that you have sufficient fuel. If the fuel tank is
on reserve, you are strongly recommended
not to programme the heating.
The additional heating must always be
switched off while refuelling to avoid any risk
of fire or explosion.
To avoid the risk of poisoning or asphyxia, the programmable heating
must not be used, even for short periods, in a
closed environment such as a garage or
workshop which is not equipped with an
exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on a flammable
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, paper, etc.)
- Risk of fire!
Glazed surfaces such as the rear screen
or windscreen can become very hot in
places.
Never put objects on these surfaces; never
touch these surfaces - Risk of burns!
Independent additional
heating
Depending on the country of sale, this is an
additional and independent system which heats
the hot water circuit of the Diesel engine to
improve comfort and to raise the temperature
of the cold engine. It improves demisting and
defrosting performance. With the engine idling
or the vehicle stationary, it is normal to notice a
high-pitched whistling and some emissions of
smoke or odour.
The temperature near the heating system must
not exceed 120°C. A higher temperature (e.g. in
a paint oven) could damage the components of
electronic circuits.
The additional heating is supplied by the
vehicle's fuel tank. Make sure that the low fuel
warning lamp is not on.
To avoid the risks of poisoning or suffocation, the additional heating must
not be used, even for short periods, in a
closed environment such as a garage or
workshop which is not equipped with an
exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on a flammable
surface (for example: dry grass, fallen
leaves, paper, etc.) - risk of fire!
Have the additional heating checked at
least once a year, at the beginning of
winter.
For maintenance and repairs, you must only
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
A/C preconditioning (Electric)
This function allows you to programme the
temperature in the passenger compartment to
reach a pre-defined, non-modifiable temperature
(approx. 21°C) before you enter the vehicle, on

Lighting and visibility
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction of the rain/sunshine
sensor, the vehicle’s lamps come on and this
warning lamp is displayed on the instrument
panel, accompanied by an audible signal and/or
the display of a message.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Do not cover the rain/sunshine sensor
located at the top centre of the
windscreen behind the interior rear view
mirror; the associated functions would no
longer be controlled.
In fog or snow, the rain/sunshine sensor
may detect sufficient light. For this
reason, the lighting will not come on
automatically.
The inner surface of the windscreen may become misted up and affect the proper
operation of the rain/sunshine sensor.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.

vary depending on country).
Do not forget to switch off the foglamps when
they are no longer necessary.
Switching on the lamps after
switching off the ignition
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate the
ring to the "0" position - lamps off, 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 level of charge in
the battery (entering energy economy mode).
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.
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
If planning to use your vehicle in a
country that drives on the other side of the
road, the dipped beam headlamps must be
adjusted to avoid dazzling oncoming drivers.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

► Left or right: lower or raise the lighting control
stalk, beyond the point of resistance.
If you forget to cancel the direction
indicators for more than 20 seconds, the
volume of the audible signal will increase if
the speed is above 50 mph (80 km/h).

► Press briefly upwards or downwards, without
going beyond the point of resistance; the
direction indicators will flash 3 times.

Sidelamps
If the vehicle is so equipped, they come on

Automatic headlamp illumination
When a low level of ambient light is detected
by a sunshine sensor, the number plate
lamps,
sidelamps 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 the
automatic rain sensitive wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to a sufficient
level or after the windscreen wipers are switched
off, the lamps are switched off automatically.
