Lighting and visibility
from the windscreen and around the wiper
arms and blades.
Do not operate the wipers on a dry
windscreen. In extremely hot or cold
weather, check that the wiper blades are not
stuck to the windscreen before operating the
wipers.
After using an automatic car wash, you may temporarily notice abnormal noises
and poorer wiping performance.
You do not
need to replace the wiper blades.


Windscreen wipers
► To select the wiping speed: raise or lower the
stalk to the desired position.
Fast wiping (heavy rain)
Normal wiping (moderate rain)
Automatic wipers
Switching off
Manual
After switching off the ignition, a slight
movement of the windscreen wipers to
store them under the bonnet may occur.
In position 1 or 2, the wiping frequency is
automatically reduced when the speed of
the vehicle drops below 3
mph (5 km/h).
When the speed is above 6
mph (10 km/h)
again, the wiping frequency returns to the
original frequency (fast or normal).
Single wipe
► Press and release the control stalk or briefly
pull the control stalk towards you.
Windscreen wash
► Pull the wiper control stalk towards you and
hold.
A
final wiping cycle is performed when
screenwashing ends.
The windscreen wash jets are incorporated into the tip of each wiper
arm.
Screenwash fluid is sprayed along the length
of the wiper blade. This improves visibility and
reduces screenwash fluid consumption.
With automatic air conditioning, any
action on the screenwash control results
in temporary closure of the air intake to
protect the passenger compartment from any
odour.
To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do not operate the screenwash if the
screenwash reservoir is empty.
Only operate the screenwash if there is no
risk of the fluid freezing on the windscreen
and hindering visibility. During the winter
period, use "very cold climate" rated products.
Never top up with water.
Automatic windscreen wipers
In AUTO mode, the front wipers work
automatically and adapt to the intensity of
precipitation depending on the sensitivity of the
sensor selected.
The rainfall detection function uses a rain/
sunshine sensor located at the top centre of the
windscreen, behind the rear view mirror.
In certain weather conditions (e.g. fog,
frost, snow , projections on salty roads),
the driver may have to return to manual
wiping.
Switching on/off
To switch on:
► Put the wiper control stalk in the AUT
O
position.

Safety
5Seat belts
Inertia reel
The seat belts are equipped with an inertia reel
which allows the strap length to automatically
adjust to your shape. The seat belt returns to its
storage automatically when it is not used.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device which
automatically locks the strap in the event of a
collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls
over. It can be released by pulling the strap firmly
and then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.
Pyrotechnic pretensioning
This system improves safety in the event of a
frontal or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly
tightens the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are
enabled when the ignition is on.
Force limiting system
This system reduces the pressure of the seat
belt on the chest of the occupant, thus improving
their protection.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impacts, the pyrotechnic
device may trigger before and independently
of airbag deployment. Deployment of the
pretensioners is accompanied by a slight
discharge of harmless smoke and a noise,
due to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes
on.
Following an impact, have the seat belt
system checked, and if necessary replaced,
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic
pretensioning system and a force limiting
system.
Rear seat belts

Each of the rear seats has a three-point seat belt
with inertia reel.
The outer seats are fitted with a pyrotechnic
pretensioning and force limiting system.
Fastening
► Pull the strap, then insert the tongue into the
buckle.
►

Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling on the strap.
Unfastening
► Press the red button on the buckle.
► Guide the seat belt as it is reeled in.
Seat belt not fastened/
unfastened alerts




1. Front left seat belt warning lamp
2. Front right seat belt warning lamp
3. Rear left seat belt warning lamp
4. Rear centre seat belt warning lamp
5. Rear right seat belt warning lamp
Not fastened/unfastened warning lamp
It comes on in red on both the instrument panel
and on the seat belts warning lamps display as
soon as the system detects that a seat belt is not
fastened or has been unfastened.

Driving
coming out of reverse gear or turning the
steering wheel.
Restarting the engine (START mode)
The engine automatically restarts as soon as the
driver indicates the intention of moving off again:
–
With the selector in mode
D or M: with the
brake pedal released.
–

With the selector in mode
N and the brake
pedal released: when you place the gear
selector in mode D or M.
–

With the selector in mode
P and the brake
pedal depressed: when you place the gear
selector in mode R, N, D or M.
–

With reverse gear engaged.
Special cases
The engine will restart automatically if the
conditions for operation are met again and in the
following case:
–
Automatic gearbox in mode N

, vehicle speed
exceeds 0.6 mph (1 km/h).
In this case, this indicator lamp flashes for
a few seconds, then goes off.
Malfunctions
In the event of a fault with the system, this
warning lamp flashes for a few moments
on the instrument panel, then remains on,
accompanied by the display of a message.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The vehicle stalls in STOP mode
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come
on if there is a fault.
►

Switch off the ignition then start the engine
again with the " ST

ART/STOP" button.
12 V battery
The Stop & Start system requires a
12 V battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work must be carried out only by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
Tyre under-inflation detection
This system alerts the driver when one or more
tyres have a drop in pressure.
The alert is raised when the vehicle is moving,
not when stationary.
It compares the information given by the wheel
speed sensors with reference values, which
must be reinitialised every time the tyre
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.
It takes the last values

stored during
the

reinitialisation request into account. It is
therefore essential that the tyre pressure is
correct during the operation. This operation is
the driver’s responsibility.
The tyre under-inflation detection cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
regularly check the tyre pressures (including
the spare wheel), especially before a long
journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy load, high
speed, long journey):
–

worsens road-holding.
–


lengthens braking distances.
–


causes premature wear of the tyres.
–


increases energy consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for the vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the Identification
markings, refer to the corresponding section.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done monthly
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1 hour or after a journey of less than 6 miles
(10

km) at moderate speeds).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures
shown on the label.
