Lighting is associated
with the displaying of
another warning light:
Service If this comes on, it indi-
cates the occurrence of
a problem in one of the
systems which does
not have a speciﬁ c warning light.
In order to identify it, consult the
message on the multifunction dis-
play.
The warning light only comes on
temporarily in the case of the follow-
ing minor faults:
- incorrect closing of the doors, boot, rear screen and bonnet,
- ﬂ at remote control battery,
- incorrect tyre pressure,
- the end of saturation of the parti- cle emission ﬁ lter (Diesel).
In the case of major faults, the
warning light remains on until the
operating fault is rectiﬁ ed, contact
a CITROËN dealer as soon as
possible. Braking
If this comes on, it indicates
the occurrence of a fault in
one of the braking systems:
- signiﬁ cant drop in the level in the circuit,
- electronic brake force distribu- tion (EBFD) faulty (simultane-
ous lighting of the ABS warning
light),
stop the vehicle immediately and as
safely as possible.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.

Application/Release of the
automatic electronic parking
brake If this warning lamp comes
on permanently, it is conﬁ rm-
ing that the parking brake is
applied.
If it ﬂ ashes, it is indicating an ap-
plication or release fault. Contact a
CITROËN dealer urgently (see sec-
tion "Driving - § Electronic parking
brake"). Automatic electronic parking
brake fault
This warning lamp comes
on if there is a malfunction
in the automatic electronic

functions of the automatic
electronic parking brake
This comes on if the "auto-
matic application" and "au-
tomatic release" functions
when you switch off the
engine are deactivated * or
faulty.
Dynamic stability control
(ESP/ASR) The ESP/ASR system is put
into service automatically
when the vehicle is started.
Unless the system has been deac-
tivated, if this warning lamp and the
indicator lamp on the button come on
continuously, this indicates the oc-
currence of a fault in the ESP/ASR
system or in the hill start assistance.
Engine autodiagnostics
system
If this comes on, it indicates
the occurrence of a fault in the
engine management system.
If it ﬂ ashes, it indicates the
occurrence of a fault in the emission
control system.

- coolant temperature,
stop the vehicle immediately and as
safely as possible.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.

I N S T R U M E N T S a n d C O N T R O L S Airbags If this comes on, it indicates
the occurrence of a fault in
one of the airbag or seat belt
pretensioner systems.
Maximum coolant temperature
If this comes on, it indicates
that the temperature in the
cooling system is too high.
Stop the vehicle as soon as
it is safe to do so.
Low fuel level When the tank is full, all the
bars are lit up.
If the fuel low warning lamp
comes on accompanied by
an audible signal and a message on
the multifunction screen, there are
approximately 7 litres of fuel remain-
ing in the tank and 2 or 3 bars ﬂ ash
in the instrument panel.
When the last bar goes out, there
are approximately 2 litres of fuel re-
maining in the tank.
A control located on the panel to the
right of the steering wheel allows
you to open the fuel ﬂ ap from inside
the vehicle.
Battery charge
If this comes on, it indi-
cates the occurrence of a
fault in the battery charging
circuit (dirty or loose termi-
nals, slack or cut alternator
belt, ...). Door open
A door, the boot or the rear
screen is open:
-
if the speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h), this warning lamp comes on con-
tinuously.
- if the speed is higher than 6 mph
(10 km/h), this warning lamp
comes on continuously, accom-
panied by an audible signal.
Seat belt not fastened/
unfastened This warning lamp informs
you if the driver’s or front
passenger’s seat belt is
not fastened (depending
on model), and if the front
passenger’s (depending on
model) or the second row
passengers’ seat belts are
unfastened. The lit up positions rep-
resent those whose seat belts are
not fastened/unfastened. Seat belts unfastened during the
journey:
- the point corresponding to the seat
position with seat belt unfastened
lights up between 0 and 20 km/h.
Above 20 km/h (approx. 12 mph),
it ﬂ ashes accompanied by an audi-
ble signal for around 120 seconds.
The audible signal stops when the
ignition is switched off or if a door
is opened.
Depending on model, the front pas-
senger seat may be ﬁ tted with a
presence sensor; the correspond-
ing warning lamp will only come on
if the seat is occupied and the seat
belt not fastened.
Driver’s or front passenger’s seat belt
not fastened with presence sensor:
- the warning lamp lights up be-
tween 0 and 20 km/h. Above
20 km/h (approx.12 mph), it
ﬂ ashes accompanied by a mes-
sage on the multifunction screen
and an audible signal for around
120 seconds.
Second row rear passenger’s or
front passenger’s seat belt not fas-
tened without presence sensor:
-

points corresponding to the seat po-
sitions with seat belts not fastened
remain lit up for 30 seconds.

Air conditioning
To ensure that your system operates
correctly, it is recommended to have
it checked regularly.
Water arising from condensation
in the air conditioning drains away
through a hole provided for this pur-
pose. A pool of water may thus form
under the vehicle when stationary.
To keep the air conditioning com-
pressor well sealed, it is essential to
operate the air conditioning at least
once in every month.
Regardless of the season, the air
conditioning is useful, since it re-
moves humidity and condensation.
To be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the win-
dows closed.
If after a lengthy stop in bright sunlight
the interior temperature is excessive,
air the passenger compartment by
opening the windows for a few mo-
ments, then close them again.
The air conditioning operates by using
power from the engine. This results in
a slight increase in fuel consumption.
Dust filter/Odour filter
(active carbon)
There is a ﬁ lter for excluding odours
and dust.
This ﬁ lter has to be changed in ac-
cordance with the vehicle's servic-
ing schedule (see "Maintenance and
Warranty Guide").
Air circulation
Air vents on the ﬂ oor underneath the
front seats provide enhanced heat-
ing for the rear seat positions; take
care not to obstruct them.
Air vents
The air vents to the face have grilles
and thumbwheels to adjust the air
ﬂ ow and direction (up-down, right-
left).
The automatic regulation of the air
conditioning, inside the cabin, uses
a number of sensors (sunlight sen-
sor, outside temperature sensor...)
that relieve you of the need to make
frequent adjustments outside the
displayed temperature.
Be careful not to obstruct the sun-
light sensor, located on the dash-
board behind the instrument panel.

Closing of the air inlet

 Press on button 5 to
close off the entry of air
from outside.

Entry of air (manual mode)

 Press on button 5 to activate en-
try of air from the outside. The
warning lamp goes out.

 Press once on button 5 to return
to the initial status (entry of air in
automatic mode).
The air recirculation can also be ac-
cessed by means of a press on the
control, located low down to one side
of the steering wheel (see "§ Fixed
centred controls steering wheel"). 6. Adjustment mode for the
rear passengers
This button decides whether
or not the rear passengers
may use their adjustment
controls.
There are three possible statuses
for this button:

Locking of the rear
passenger controls

Authorisation of the rear
passenger controls

Reduction of the
air ﬂ ow for the rear
passengers
With additional air conditioning, in
cold weather you are advised to
close the supply of air to the rear
passengers (no hot air distribution
possible via these air vents).
The rear passengers can use
their adjustment controls at their
convenience.
The driver imposes his adjustment
on the rear passengers. In this case,
the rear passenger controls are
deactivated. 7. Panel display mode: black
panel function
This function turns the dis-
plays and panel backlighting
on or off.
- Function activated, a press on any button will light up the screen
temporarily.
- press on button 7 deactivates
the function, lighting of buttons
and screen is again permanent.
This function optimises notably the
visual comfort for driving at night.
8. Demisting/defrosting of the rear screen
This can only operate when the en-
gine is running.

 Press on button 8 to activate/
deactivate the electric demist-
ing/defrosting of the rear screen
and, according to version, of the
exterior rear view mirrors. The
warning lamp lights up and the
symbol appears on the display.
It switches off automatically
to prevent excessive con-
sumption of power.
Whilst retaining the other adjust-
ments, this position enables the
driver at any time to exclude any dis-
agreeable odours or fumes coming
from outside the vehicle. It should
be cancelled as soon as possible to
permit renewal of cabin air and to
prevent misting.
