The rechargeable hybrid technology combines
two sources of energy: that of the petrol engine
and that of the electric motor, which drive the
front wheels (traction).
The engine and the motor can operate
alternately or simultaneously, according to the
driving mode selected and the driving conditions.
The electric power alone provides the mobility
of the vehicle in Electric mode, and in Hybrid

Ease of use and comfort
Correct driving position
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:
–
the height of the head restraint,
–


the seat backrest angle,
–


the seat cushion height,
–


the longitudinal position of the seat,
–


the height and reach of the steering wheel,
–


the rear view mirror and door mirrors.

Once these adjustments have been
made, check the instrument panel can be
viewed correctly from your driving position.
Front seats
Caution when moving the
front seats

passengers if present in the rear seats or of
jamming the seat if large objects are placed
on the floor behind the seat.

Comfort functions
Memorising driving positions
Associated with the electrically-adjusted driver’s
seat, this function allows two driving positions
to be memorised, to make these adjustments
easier if there are frequent driver changes.
It records the electric adjustments made to the
seat and door mirrors.


Using buttons M/1/2
► Enter the vehicle and switch the ignition on.
►

Adjust your seat and the door mirrors.
►


Press button
M, then press button 1 or 2
within 4 seconds.
An audible signal confirms the memorisation.
Memorising a new position cancels the previous
position.
Recalling a stored position
While the seat is moving, take care that
no person or object hinders the
automatic movement of the seat.
With the ignition on or engine running
► Press button 1 or 2 to recall the
corresponding position.
An audible signal sounds when adjustment is
complete.
You can interrupt the current movement by
pressing button M, 1 or 2 or by using one of the
seat adjustment controls.
A stored position cannot be recalled while
driving.
The recalling of stored positions is deactivated
45 seconds after switching off the ignition.
Heated seats



The function is active only with the engine
running.

Automatic "electrochrome" models



The electrochrome system uses a sensor to
detect the level of exterior brightness, as well as
that coming from the rear of the vehicle, in order
to automatically and gradually switch between
day and night usage.
To ensure optimum visibility while manoeuvring, the mirror automatically
brightens when reverse gear is engaged.
The system is deactivated if the load in the
boot exceeds the height of the load space
cover or if the load space cover has items
placed on it.
Rear seats
The 3 seats of the 2nd row are independent and
of
the same width. Their backrests are adjustable
to adapt the boot load space.
Rear head restraints

They have two positions:
– a high position , for when the seat is in use:
►

pull the head restraint fully up.
–

a low position , for stowing, when the seat is
not in use: ►

press the lugs
A to release the head
restraint and push it fully down.

68
Lighting and visibility
This is confirmed by an audible signal and
illumination of the corresponding direction
indicator lamp in 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 the
rain/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 may also come on if
rain is detected, at the same time as automatic
operation of the windscreen 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.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction of the
sunshine sensor, the lighting comes on
and 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, linked
with the rain sensor and located at the
top centre of the windscreen behind the
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.
Never look too closely at the light beam
of LED technology lamps - risk of serious
eye injury!


Travelling abroad
Vehicles equipped with manual
headlamp beam height adjustment:
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.
Direction indicators

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

O"
position with low light levels or "Sidelamps only”
or "Dipped/main beam headlamps").
The LEDs are brighter when operating as daytime running lamps.
Parking lamps
Side markers for the vehicle by illumination of
the sidelamps on the traffic side only.
►

Depending on version, within one minute of
switching off the ignition, operate the lighting
control stalk up or down depending on the traffic
side (for example: when parking on the left;
lighting control stalk upwards; the right-hand
sidelamps come on).

71
Lighting and visibility
4– if the windscreen is dirty, misted or
obscured (by a sticker, etc.) in front of the
camera,
–

if the vehicle is facing highly reflective
signs.
When the system detects thick fog, it
temporarily deactivates the function.
The system is not able to detect:
–


road users that do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians,
–


vehicles whose lighting is obscured (for
example: vehicles running behind a safety
barrier on a motorway),
–


vehicles at the top or bottom of a steep
slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.
Headlamp adjustment
Manual headlamp
adjustment




To avoid dazzling other road users, the height
of these headlamp beams must be adjusted
according to the load in the vehicle.
0 (Initial setting) Driver only or driver + front passenger
1 5 people
4 5 people + load in the boot
5 Driver only + load in the boot
This information is provided as a guide only.
Depending on version, the unused positions may
be required.
Automatic adjustment of the Full LED technology
headlamps
This system automatically adjusts the height of
the headlamp beams according to the load in the
vehicle.
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp comes on on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal.
The system then places the headlamp beams in
the lowest position.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Do not touch the "Full LED" technology
headlamps - risk of electrocution!
Cornering lighting
This system makes use of the beam from a front
foglamp to illuminate the inside of a bend, when
the main or dipped beam headlamps are on and
the vehicle speed is below 25 mph (40
km/h)
(urban driving, winding road, junctions, parking
manoeuvres).


Without/With cornering lighting
Activation / Deactivation
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle touch
screen menu.
Switching on / off
This system starts:
– when the corresponding direction indicator is
switched on.
or
–

from a certain angle of rotation of the steering
wheel.
It becomes inactive:
–


below a certain angle of rotation of the
steering wheel.
–


above 25 mph (40
km/h).
