RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILATION AND AIR 
CONDITIONING 
  In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and 
maintenance guidelines below: 
   
 
 
  To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior 
air intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the 
vents and the air outlets, as well as the air extractor located in the boot. 
   
 
  Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is 
used for regulation of the air conditioning system. 
   
 
  Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or 
twice a month to keep it in perfect working order. 
   
 
  Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good condition and 
have the fi lter elements replaced regularly.  
   We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment fi lter. 
Thanks to its special active additive, it contributes to the purifi cation  of 
the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger 
compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy 
deposits). 
   
 
  To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also 
advised to have it checked regularly as recommended in the mainte-
nance and warranty guide. 
   
 
  If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a 
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.  
  When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, 
switching off the air conditioning increases the available engine power and 
so improves the towing ability.     
If after an extended stop in sun-
shine, the interior temperature is 
very high, fi rst ventilate the pas-
senger compartment for a few 
moments.  
Put the air fl ow control at a set-
ting high enough to quickly 
change the air in the passenger 
compartment. 
  The air conditioning system 
does not contain chlorine and 
does not present any danger to 
the ozone layer.  
   
The condensation created by 
the air conditioning results in a 
discharge of water under the ve-
hicle which is perfectly normal.  
 
   
 
Stop & Start 
  The heating and air conditioning systems only work when the engine is 
running. To maintain a comfortable temperature in the passenger compart-
ment, you can temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start system (see the 
corresponding section).

Automatic illumination of 
headlamps 
  The sidelamps and dipped beam head-
lamps are switched on automatically, 
without any action on the part of the 
driver, when a low level of external light 
is detected or in certain cases of activa-
tion of the windscreen wipers. 
  As soon as the brightness returns to a 
suffi cient level or after the windscreen 
wipers are switched off, the lamps are 
switched off automatically. 
   
Activation 
   
 
 
  Turn ring  A 
 to the  "AUTO" 
 position. 
The automatic illumination of head-
lamps is accompanied by a mes-
sage in the screen.

message appears in the screen, accompa-
nied by an audible signal. 
  Contact a CITROËN or a qualifi ed  work-
shop workshop. 
   
Operating fault 
  In fog or snow, the sunshine 
sensor may detect suffi cient 
light. Therefore, the lighting will 
not come on automatically. 
  Do not cover the sunshine sen-
sor, coupled with the rain sensor 
and located in the centre of the 
windscreen behind the rear view 
mirror; the associated functions 
would no longer be controlled.

Windscreen and headlamp 
wash 
   
 
Low screenwash / headlamp wash 
fl uid level 
  On vehicle fi tted with headlamp wash-
ers, the low level of this fl uid is indicat-
ed by gauge in the reservoir fi ller  neck 
under the bonnet. 
  Checking and topping up this fl uid  can 
should be done with the engine off. 
  The level of this fl uid should be checked 
regularly, particularly during winter. 
  Refer to "Checks - Screenwash / head-
lamp wash level" section for the proce-
dure on checking the level.  
     
 
 
  Pull the windscreen wiper stalk to-
wards you. The windscreen wash 
then the windscreen wipers operate 
for a fi xed period.  
  The headlamp washers only operate 
when  the dipped or main beam head-
lamps are on 
,  with the vehicle moving 
. 
   
To reduce the consumption of 
the fl uid by the headlamp wash-
ers, they operate only with every 
seventh use of the screenwash 
or every 25 miles (40 km) during 
a given journey.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION 
DETECTION 
   
System which automatically checks the 
pressures of the tyres while driving. 
  The system continuously monitors the 
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as 
the vehicle is moving. 
  A pressure sensor is located in the 
valve of a each tyres (except the spare 
wheel). 
  The system triggers an alert if a drop 
in pressure is detected in one or more 
tyres. 
  The tyre under-infl ation detection sys-
tem is an aid to driving which does not 
replace the need for the driver to be 
vigilant or to drive responsibly.    
This system does not avoid the 
need to check the tyre pressures 
regularly (including the spare 
wheel) and before a long jour-
ney. 
  Driving with under-infl ated  tyres 
adversely affects road holding, 
extends braking distances and 
causes premature tyre wear, 
particularly under arduous con-
ditions (vehicle loaded, high 
speed, long journey).  
   
Driving with under-infl ated  tyres 
increases fuel consumption.     
The tyre pressures for your vehi-
cle can be found on the tyre pres-
sure label (see the "Identifi cation 
markings" section). 
  The tyre pressures must be 
checked when the tyres cold 
(vehicle stopped for 1 hour or 
after driving for less then 6 miles 
(10 km) at moderate speed). 
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the val-
ues indicated on the label.

  The fl ashing and then fi xed 
illumination of the under-infl a-
tion warning lamp accompa-
nied by the illumination of the 
"service" warning lamp indi-
cates a fault with the system. 
   
Operating fault 
 
The alert is given by the fi xed  il-
lumination of this warning lamp, 
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal, and depending on equip-
ment, the display of a message. 
   
Under-inflation alert 
 
 
The alert is maintained until the 
tyre or tyres concerned is rein-
fl ated or repaired.  
   
The loss of pressure detected 
does not always lead to visible 
deformation of the tyre. Do not 
rely on just a visual check.  
    
This alert is also displayed when 
one or more wheels is not fi tted 
with a sensor.  
  In the event of a problem on one of 
the tyres, the symbol or the message 
appears, according to equipment, to 
identify it.    
 
 
  Reduce speed, avoid sudden steer-
ing movements or harsh brake ap-
plications. 
   
 
  Stop as soon as it is safe to do so. 
   
 
  In the event of a puncture, use the 
temporary puncture repair kit or the 
spare wheel (according to equip-
ment),  
 or 
   
 
  if you have a compressor, the one in 
the temporary puncture repair kit for 
example, check the four tyre pres-
sures when cold,  
 or 
   
 
  if it is not possible to check the tyre 
pressures at the time, drive care-
fully at reduced speed.    In this case, monitoring of the tyre pres-
sures is not assured. 
  Have the system checked by a 
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed  work-
shop.

BLIND SPOT SENSORS 
 
 
This driving assistance system warns 
the driver of the presence of another 
vehicle in the blind spot angle of their 
vehicle (areas masked from the driver's 
fi eld of vision), as soon as this presents 
a potential danger. 
   
Operation 
 
 
 
 
 
  On switching on the ignition, or en-
gine running, press this button to 
activate the function; the warning 
lamp comes on.  
   
This system is designed to im-
prove safety when driving and is 
in no circumstances a substitute 
for the use of the interior rear 
view mirror and door mirrors. It 
is the driver's responsibility to 
constantly check the traffi c,  to 
asses the distances and relative 
speeds of other vehicles and to 
predict their movements before 
deciding whether to change 
lane. 
  The blind spot sensor system 
can never replace the vigilance 
and responsibility of the driver.  
   Sensors fi tted in the front and rear bum-
pers monitor the blind spots.    A warning lamp appears in the door 
mirror on the side in question: 
   
 
-   immediately, when being overtaken, 
   
-   after a delay of about one second, 
when overtaking a vehicle slowly.
