A few definitions…

This value may vary following a
change in the style of driving or
the relief, resulting in a signifi -
cant change in the current fuel
consumption.
If dashes are displayed continu-
ously while driving in place of the
digits, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop. This function is only displayed
from 20 mph (30 km/h).
Range
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
which can still be travelled
with the fuel remaining in the tank in
relation to the average fuel consump-
tion over the last few miles (kilometres)
travelled.
When the range falls below 20 miles
(30 km), dashes are displayed. After
fi lling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the
range is recalculated and is displayed
when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel con-
sumption during the last few
seconds.

Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)

This is the average fuel con-
sumption since the last trip
computer zero reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
This is the average speed calcu-
lated since the last trip computer
zero reset (ignition on).

Distance travelled
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
travelled since the last trip
computer zero reset.








Stop & Start time counter
(minutes/seconds or hours/
minutes)
If your vehicle is fi tted with Stop & Start,
a time counter calculates the time spent
in STOP mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition
is switched on with the key.

The fuel consumption of your
vehicle will be higher than
the offi cial fi gures obtained
by CITROËN during the fi rst
3 000 miles (5 000 km) of the
vehicle's life.

DUAL-ZONE DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING

Automatic o
peration

We recommend the use of one
of the three AUTO modes avail-
able: they provide optimised
regulation of the temperature
in the passenger compartment
according to the comfort value that you
have chosen.
These three modes automatically adjust
the air fl ow, according to the desired set-
ting, while also maintaining the desired
comfort value.

)
Press the "AUTO"
button repeat-
edly:


- a fi rst indicator lamp comes on; the
"light" setting mode is selected,

- a second indicator lamp comes
on; the "medium" setting mode is
selected,

- a third indicator lamp comes on; the
"intense" mode setting is selected.
The air conditioning system operates when the engine is running. When the engine is cold, the air
fl ow will reach its optimum level
progressively, taking account
of the weather and the desired
comfort level so as to avoid too
great a distribution of cold air.
On entering the vehicle, if the in-
terior temperature is much colder
or warmer than the comfort val-
ue, there is no need to change
the value displayed in order to
obtain the comfort required. The
system corrects the difference in
temperature automatically and
as quickly as possible.

1. Automatic comfort programme
This system is designed to operate ef-
fectively in all seasons, with the windows
closed.

Deactivation of the rear electric
window controls.

The electric window controls
remain operational for approxi-
mately 45 seconds after the ig-
nition is switched off or until the
vehicle is locked after a door is
opened.
If one of the passenger windows
cannot be operated from the
driver's door control panel, carry
out the operation from the con-
trol panel of the passenger door
concerned, and vice versa. After approximately ten con-
secutive complete opening/clos-
ing movements of the window, a
protection function is activated
which only authorises closing of
the window to prevent damage
to the electric window motor.
Once the window is closed,
the controls will become avail-
able again after approximately
40 minutes.
If the window cannot be closed
(for example, in the presence of
ice), once the window has low-
ered:


)
press and hold the control
until the window opens fully,

)
then pull the control immedi-
ately and hold it until the win-
dow closes,

)
continue to hold the control
for approximately one sec-
ond after the window has
closed.


The safety anti-pinch function
is not operational during these
operations.



There are two options:


- manual mode



)
Press or pull the control gently.
The window stops when the con-
trol is released.

- automatic mode



)
Press or pull the control fi rmly.
The window opens or closes fully
when the control is released.

)
Pressing the control again stops
the movement of the window.

Safety anti-pinch
When the window rises and meets an
obstacle, it stops and partially lowers
again.

In good or rainy weather, by both
day and night, the front foglamps
and the rear foglamps are pro-
hibited. In these situations, the
power of their beams may dazzle
other drivers. They should only
be used in fog or falling snow.
In these weather conditions, you
should switch on the foglamps
and dipped beam headlamps
manually, as the sunshine sen-
sor may detect suffi cient light.
Do not forget to switch off the
front and rear foglamps when
they are no longer necessary.

Switching off the lighting when
switching off the ignition
When the ignition is switched off,
all of the lamps switch off immedi-
ately, except for the dipped beam
headlamps if automatic guide-
me-home lighting is activated.
In some weather conditions (e.g.
low temperature or humidity),
the presence of misting on the
internal surface of the glass of
the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the
lamps have been on for a few
minutes.






Daytime running lamps

Daytime lighting, compulsory in certain
countries, which comes on automati-
cally when the engine is started making
the vehicle more visible to other users.
Manual guide-me-home lighting
Temporarily keeping the dipped beam
headlamps on after the vehicle's igni-
tion has been switched off makes the
driver's exit easier when the light is poor.

Switching on


)
With the ignition off, "fl ash" the
headlamps using the lighting stalk.

)
A further "headlamp fl ash" switches
the function off.


Switching off

The manual guide-me-home lighting
switches off automatically after a set time.



This function is assured:


- in countries where it is imposed by
regulations,
by illumination of the dipped beam
headlamps with the sidelamps and
number plate lamps; this function
cannot be deactivated.

- for other countries where it is pro-
vided,
by the use of dedicated lamps; this
function can be activated or deac-
tivated via the vehicle confi guration
menu.


The instruments and controls (instru-
ment panel, multifunction screen, air
conditioning control panel, ...) are not
illuminated, except in night mode with
manual or automatic illumination of
headlamps.

Switching on the lighting
when switching on the ignition
To reactivate the lighting control stalk, turn the ring A
to position "0"

your choice.
If the lighting is switched on manu-
ally after switching off the ignition,
there is an audible signal when a
front door is opened to warn the
driver that they have forgotten to
switch off the vehicle's lighting, with
the ignition off.
They switch off automatically after a
period which depends on the state
of charge of the battery (entry to en-
ergy economy mode).
