Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) and Traction Control (ASR)
These systems are closely associ-ated with ABS and additional to it. In the event of a loss of control of the vehicle by the driver, the ESPsystem acts automatically on one or more wheels and also on the engine to bring the vehicle back on trajectory. The ASR system opti-mises traction and prevents wheel spin by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels as well as on the engine. It also improves steering stability during acceleration.
Operation
If either of the ESP or ASR systems is active, the warning lamp fl ashes.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (vehicle stuck in snow, soft ground, etc.) it may prove useful to deactivate the ESP/ASR systems to allow the wheels to spin and thus regain traction.
Press on control A, the warning lamp and the light on control Alight up. The ESP/ASR systems are no longer active.
The ESP/ASR systems will acti-vate again:
Automatically after the igni-tion has been switched off.
Automatically when you drive at above approx. 50 km/h (approx. 30 mph).
Manually with another press on button A.

A second press on button A deac-tivates the function, the warning lamp on the button goes out.
When you start the engine, the mode (activated/deactivated) selected when you stopped the engine is retained.
Operation
Above a speed of around 80 km/h, if you cross a lane marking, you are alerted to this by a vibration within the cushion of your seat:On the right hand side if you cross a lane marking to the right.On the left hand side if you cross a lane marking to the left.
The system does not alert you if one of your direction indicators is operating and for approx. 20 sec-onds after the direction indicator has stopped.

Activation/Deactivation
You can activate/deactivate the parking assistance by pressing button A. When the parking assist-ance is inactive, the warning lamp on button A is lit up.
Activation/deactivation of the park-ing assistance is memorised when you stop the vehicle.
Remark: If you are towing with a towing device not approvedby CITROËN, it is necessary to a towing device a towing device not approved
deactivate parking assistance by pressing on button A. The warn-ing lamp on the button lights up.
Operation
When you engage reverse gear, a sound signal confi rms to you that the system is active. The out-line of your vehicle appears on the screen. Any obstacles located to the rear or to the front of the vehi-cle can be detected.
When going forward and at a speed below approx. 10 km/h (6 mph), whether in neutral or in gear, the outline of the vehicle appears on the display as soon as an obstacle is detected in front of the vehicle. Obstacles located in front of the vehicle will be detected.
Remarks:The proximity sensors cannot detect objects that are immedi-ately under or over the bump-ers.
A thin object such as a spike, a bollard or similar, can only be detected at the start of the manœuvre but not when the vehicle arrives close up to it.In poor weather or in winter, you need to ensure that the sensors are not covered with mud or with ice or snow.

In the event of a malfunction, consult a CITROËN dealer.
Operation
You have identifi ed a parking space:
1. Press button A to select the function.
2. Activate the relevant direction indicator.
The system will measure the park-ing space:
Note:The function deactivates itself automatically:When you engage reverse gear.
When you switch off the igni-tion.If measuring is not requested in the 5 minutes after selecting the function.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the threshold of 70 km/h (approx. 45 mph) for one minute.
Warning: If the distance between your vehicle and the parking space is over approx. 1.50 m, the system may not be able to measure the space.
Remarks:
The function remains available after each measurement and can therefore measure several spaces in succession.
In poor weather or in winter, you need to ensure that the sensors are not covered with mud or with ice or snow.
If the Parking Space Sensor function is selected, the Park-ing Assistance function is deac-tivated.

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.
