With dipped or main beams, this function provides additional lighting for the inside of a bend.
This lighting is most useful when travelling at low and medium speed (urban driving, winding road, intersections...).
Operation
This lighting is activated past a cer-tain angle of rotation of the steer-ing wheel. It is deactivated with the vehicle stationary or at very low speed, or with reverse gear engaged.

With dipped beams or main beams, the Directional headlamps function turns the headlamps in the direction the road ahead is taking. Your vision on bends is considerably enhanced.
This function is activated once your vehicle speed reaches 10 km/h (6 mph) and stops when your speed decreases to 5 km/h (3 mph).Note: An automatic correction of the beam height enables you not to dazzle other drivers.

Wheel not detected
The defl ation detection system is a driving aid, but which does not absolve the driver from the need to be vigilant and responsible.
This system does not dispense with the requirement to check the tyres on a regular basis (see “Vehicle identifi cation”), to make sure that the vehicle is behaving correctly and to avoid premature tyre wear arising from driving too fast etc.
Do not forget to check the pres-sure in the spare wheel.
Any repair or replacement of a tyre on a wheel that is equipped with a sensor must be carried out by a CITROËN dealer.Any repair or replacement of a tyre on a wheel that is equippel tha

B. Soft air conditioning diffusion grille.The soft diffusion grille located in the centre of the dashboard provides an optimum air distribution for the front seats.
This device eliminates unpleasant air currents whilst maintainin g an optimum tempera-ture in the passenger compartment.
To open the soft air diffusion grille, move the control knob upwards.
To close the soft air diffusion grille, move the control knob all the way down.
In very hot weather, to improve the central and lateral ventilation, closing off the soft diffusion air conditioning is recommended.

You are advised to use the auto-matic air conditioning regulation. This automatically regulates the following functions for maximum comfort : air fl ow, passenger com-partment temperature, and air dis-tribution, using different sensors (external temperature, sunlight). This avoids the need to alter any of the settings, with the exception of the temperature displayed.
Take care not to obstruct the sun-light sensor A.
Provided you retain automatic mode (by pressing button “AUTO”) and all the air vents are open, you will maintain an optimum comfort level, also removing humidity and misting, whatever the ambient cli-matic conditions.
The temperature inside the cabin cannot be lower than the tempera-ture outside if the air conditioning is not operating.
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 tem-perature is excessive, air the pas-senger compartment by opening the windows for a few moments, then close them again.
Air circulation
For your comfort we advise you to maintain a proper distribution of air within the cabin, both at the front and at the rear.
To obtain an even distribution of air, ensure that you do not obstruct the external air inlet grille located at the base of the windscreen, the air vents, the air outlets on the fl oor underneath the front seats, and the air extractor located behind the fl aps in the boot.
The front and rear air vents are fi t-ted with control knobs which allow you to control and direct the air fl ow. It is recommended to keep all the air vents open.
Dust/pollen fi lter
There is a fi lter for excluding pollen and dust.
This fi lter has to be changed accord-ing to the vehicle maintenance sched-ule. See “Maintenance Guide”.
To ensure the correct operation of the air conditioning system, it is essential to operate the air condi-tioning at least once a month.
The air conditioning operates by using power from the engine. This results in a slight increase in fuel consumption.
In certain extreme operating con-ditions (e.g. carrying a full load up a steep gradient in high tempera-tures), the switching off of the air conditioning allows more power to be transferred to the engine, thereby increasing the towing capacity.
Air inlet
Check that the exterior grille for the air inlet, at the bottom of the wind-screen, is clean and free of dead leaves, snow, etc.
If washing the vehicle with a high pressure jet, avoid targeting the air inlet zone.
