Cruise control

This maintains a constant vehicle speed
programmed by the driver.
1."ON/OFF"
button: activation/deactivation of cruise control mode.
2."COAST SET"button: storing a driving speed then decreasing the cruising speed.
3."ACC RES"
button: increasing the cruising speed and recalling the stored speed.
4."CANCEL"
button: switching off the cruise control.

In order to be programmed or activated,
the vehicle speed must be higher than
25 mph (40 km/h) with at least second gear engaged.This detects obstacles
(person, vehicle,
tree, gate, ...) located behind the vehicle.
Th
e vehicle is fi tted with four sensors:
D. two side sensors.

DRIVING SAFELY

Four wheel drive system

Three transmission modes are avail-
able and can be selected manually bythe driver to suit the circumstances:
A. Two wheel drive
(2WD),
B. Four wheel drive (4WD AUTO),
C. Four wheel drive (4WD LOCK).
 11 9
Also...
You can change transmission modewhen stationary or when driving at aspeed below 60 mph (100 km/h).

COMFORT
44 For even air distribution, take care not
to obstruct the exterior air intake grille
located at the bottom of the windscreen,
the vents, the air outlets under the front
seats and the air extractor located be-
hind the fl aps in the boot. The water formed by the air conditioning
condensation is discharged via an open-
ing provided for this purpose. Therefore,
a puddle of water may form underneath
the vehicle when stationary.
If the system does not produce cold air,
do not use it and have it checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
AUTOMATIC REGULATION OF
THE DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING
Do not cover the temperature and hu-
midity sensor 2
and the sunshine sen-
sor 7
.
They are required for regulation of the
air conditioning.
Advice on operation

In hot weather, in order to obtain in-
tense ventilation, it is advisable to
use vents 1
and 4
only.
If, when the vehicle has been parked
in the sun for a long time, the interior
temperature remains very high, fi rst
ventilate the passenger compart-
ment for a few minutes. Switch off the air conditioning
when the climatic conditions
permit. Use of the automatic regulation of the
air conditioning is recommended. It per-
mits automatic and optimised control of
all of the following functions: air fl ow,
passenger compartment temperature
and air distribution, by means of various
sensors (ambient temperature, interior
temperature, sunshine), so preventing
the need for you to change your set-
tings other than the value displayed. In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load on a
steep gradient in hot weather), switch-
ing off the air conditioning saves engine
power and therefore improves the tow-
ing capacity.
Close the windows to benefi t from the
full effectiveness of the air conditioning.
Ensure that the passenger compart-
ment fi lter is in good condition. Have
the fi lter elements replaced periodically.
If you drive in a dusty environment, re-
place it twice as often.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and is not harmful to
the ozone layer.
Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,
to keep it in good working order.

Automatic illumination of headlamps
Daytime running lamps *

According to country.
Automatic switching off

When the lights stalk is at "dipped head-
lamps or main beam headlamps", if the
ignition switch is at "LOCK" or "ACC" or
if the key has been removed from the
ignition switch, the lights switch off auto-
matically when the driver's door is
opened
.
On vehicles which are equipped with day-
time running lamps, the dipped beam head-
lamps come on when the vehicle is started.
This warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel.
The instruments and controls (instrument
panel, multifunction screen, air condition-
ing control panel, ...) are illuminated. The sidelamps and the dipped beam
headlamps come on automatically, with-
out any action on the part of the driver,
if a low level of exterior light is detected
or if the wipers are switched on.
When the light returns to a suffi cient
level or the wipers are switched off, the
lighting is switched off automatically.
The sensor is located at the base of the
windscreen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop to adjust the sensitivity of the sensor.

In foggy weather or in snow, the
sunshine sensor may detect suf-
fi cient light. The lighting will not
come on automatically.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, the
associated functions will no longer be
controlled.
The sensitivity of the automatic illumina-
tion of headlamps can be confi gured via
the colour screen "Equipment" menu.

Headlamp wash
Press the end of the lighting stalk to
activate the headlamp wash, when the
dipped beam headlamps are on.

Programming
An automatic control mode is also avail-
able, the automatic rain sensitive wind-
screen wipers.











Windscreen wash
Pull the wiper stalk towards you. The wind-
screen wash then the wipers operate for a
set time.
The headlamp wash is also activated if
the dipped
beam
headlamps are on
. Certain windscreen wiper func-
tions (intermittent operation, ...) can
be confi gured via the colour screen

er can be confi gured via the colour
screen "Equipment" menu.

Automatic rain sensitive wipers

The windscreen wipers operate auto-
matically, without any action on the part
of the driver, if rain is detected (sensor
behind the rear view mirror), adapting
their speed to the intensity of the rain-
fall.

Activation


)
Move the stalk A
to the "AUTO"
po-
sition.
A message appears on the multifunction
screen.

Deactivation


)
Move the stalk A
to the "OFF"
posi-
tion.
A message appears on the multifunction
screen.
Operating fault
Do not cover the rain sensor, linked
with the sunshine sensor and located in
the centre of the windscreen behind the
rear view mirror.
Switch off the automatic rain
sensitive wipers when using an
automatic car wash.
To protect the rubber of the wiper, it is
advisable to deactivate the automatic
mode when the vehicle is parked and
when the ambient temperature is be-
low 0 ° C.
In winter, it is advisable to wait until
the windscreen is completely clear
of ice before activating the automatic
rain sensitive wipers.

AUDIBLE REAR PARKING
SENSORS
It detects obstacles (person, vehicle,
tree, gate, ...) located behind the vehicle,
but it cannot detect obstacles located
immediately below the bumper.
Activation
The parking sensors are activated by
engaging reverse gear.
The proximity information is indicated
by an audible signal which becomes
more frequent as the vehicle approach-
es the obstacle.
When a certain distance between the
rear of the vehicle and the obstacle is
reached, the audible signal becomes
continuous:
An object such as a stake, a road
works cone or any other similar ob-
ject may be detected at the beginning
of the manoeuvre but may no longer
be detected when the vehicle moves
closer to it.
Location of the sensors
The vehicle is fi tted with four sensors:


- two side sensors A


- two central sensors B
.
Vehicle only

Vehicle fi tted with a towbar
Detection zones
The detection zones differ depending
on whether the vehicle is fi tted with a
towbar.
If you select towbar mode, the towbar
zone C
is excluded from the detection
zones.
The parking sensor system cannot,
in any circumstances, take the place
of the need for vigilance and respon-
sibility on the part of the driver.
