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 operation

We recommend the use of
one of the three AUTO modes
available: they provide opti-
mised regulation of the tem-
perature 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 "AU TO "
button repeatedly:


- 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 se-
lected.
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
effectively in all seasons, with the win-
dows closed.

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 lowered:


)
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 second
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

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.

ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE


The electric parking brake combines
2 operational modes:


- Automatic Application/Release

Application is automatic when the
engine stops, release is automatic
on use of the accelerator (activated
by default),

- Manual Application/Release

The parking brake can be applied/
released manually by pulling control
lever A
.
If this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel, the au-
tomatic mode is deactivated.
Programming the mode
Depending on the country of sale of the
vehicle, the automatic application when
the engine is switched off and the auto-
matic release when you press the ac-
celerator can be deactivated.

It is recommended that you do
not apply the parking brake in
very cold conditions (ice) and
during towing (breakdown, car-
avan...). Deactivate the auto-
matic functions and release the
parking brake manually.



Manual application

With the vehicle stationary, to apply the
parking brake whether the engine is
running or off, pull
control lever A
.
The application of the parking brake is
confi rmed by:


-
illumination of the braking warn-
ing lamp and of the P
warning
lamp in the control lever A
,


- display of the message
"Handbrake on".

Before leaving the vehicle, en-
sure that parking brake warning
lamp in the instrument panel is
on fi xed, not fl ashing.
When the driver’s door is opened with
the engine running, a message is dis-
played accompanied by an audible sig-
nal if the parking brake has not been
applied, except in the case of an au-
tomatic gearbox with the gear lever in
position P
. Activation/deactivation is done
using the vehicle confi guration
menu; refer to the section cov-
ering the confi guration of your
vehicle's systems.
The parking brake is then applied and
released manually. When the driver's
door is opened, there is an audible sig-
nal and a message is displayed if the
brake is not applied.

Do not place any object (packet
of cigarettes, telephone...) be-
tween the gear lever and the
electric parking brake control
lever.
