Changing the battery
The remote control is supplied by a
6V-28L battery, which is supplied.
Information on the display indicates
when it is time to replace this battery.
Unclip the casing then replace the
battery.
The remote control must then be re-
initialised, see below.
Always switch off the program-
mable heating while fi lling with
fuel to avoid any risk of fi re or ex-
plosion.
To avoid any risk of poisoning and
asphyxiation, the programmable
heating must not be used, even
for short periods, in an enclosed
space such as a garage or work-
shop which is not equipped with
an exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on an
infl ammable surface (dry grass,
dead leaves, paper…), there is a
risk of fi re.
The programmable heating sys-
tem is supplied by the vehicle's fuel
tank. Before use, ensure that the
quantity of fuel remaining is suf-
fi cient. If the fuel tank is at the re-
serve, we strongly advise that you
do not programme the heating.

Do not discard the used batter-
ies, take them to an approved
collection point.

Reinitialising the remote control
If the vehicle's battery is disconnect-
ed or the remote control's battery is
replaced, the remote control must
be reinitialised.
After switching on the power, press
button 4
(OFF) for 1 second within
the next 5 seconds. If the operation
has taken place correctly the mes-
sage "OK"
is displayed on the re-
mote control screen.
If a problem occurs, the message
"FAIL"
appears. Repeat the opera-
tion.

An adaptation of your programma-
ble heating allows you to pre-heat
your vehicle's passenger compart-
ment. Contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
The interior volumetric protection
alarm movement sensor may be
disturbed by the fl ow of air from
the programmable heating when
it is in operation.
To avoid any unexpected trigger-
ing of the alarm during use of the
programmable heating, it is ad-
visable to deactivate the interior
volumetric protection.

In good or rainy weather, both day
and night, use of the front foglamps
and the rear foglamps is prohibited.
In these situations, the power of
their beams may dazzle other dri-
vers. They should only be used in
fog or falling snow.
In these weather conditions, it is
your responsibility to switch on the
foglamps and dipped headlamps
manually as the sunshine sensor
may detect suffi cient light.
Do not forget to switch off the front
and rear foglamps when they are
no longer needed.

Lighting left on
When a front door is opened with
the ignition off and in manual light-
ing mode, an audible signal warns
the driver if the vehicle's lighting is
still on.
In this case, switching off the light-
ing stops the audible signal.
With the ignition off, if the dipped
headlamps remain on, they will
switch off automatically after thirty
minutes to prevent discharging of
the battery.

have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop. The defl ation detection system is a
driving aid, but which does not ab-
solve 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
"Identifi cation markings") to ensure
optimum vehicle behaviour and to
avoid premature tyre wear under
certain conditions (high load, high
speed).
Do not forget to check the tyre
pressure of 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 or a qualifi ed
workshop.
The system may suffer from tem-
porary interference caused by
electro-magnetic transmissions on
frequencies close to that use by
the system .

If you have fi tted wheels that
are not equipped with tyre defl a-
tion detection (wheels with snow
tyres, etc.), contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

LANE DEPARTURE
WARNING SYSTEM
System which detects the involun-
tary crossing of longitudinal traffi c
lane markings on the ground (solid
or broken line).
Sensors, fi tted below the front
bumper, trigger a warning if the vehi-
cle drifts over a lane marking (speed
higher than 50 mph (80 km/h)).
This system is particularly useful on
motorways and main roads.

Activation



)
Press this button, the indicator
lamp comes on.



Deactivation



)
Press this button again, the indi-
cator lamp goes off.
The status of the system remains
in the memory when the ignition is
switched off.


Detection

You are warned by the vibration of
the driver's seat cushion:


- on the right-hand side, if the
marking on the ground has been
crossed on the right,

- on the left-hand side, if the mark-
ing on the ground has been
crossed on the left.
No warning is transmitted while the
direction indicator is active and for
approximately 20 seconds after the
direction indicator is switched off.
A warning may be transmitted if a direc-
tion marking (e.g. arrow) or non-stand-
ard marking (e.g. graffi ti) is crossed.


Operating fault

In the event of a malfunction, the
service warning lamp comes on, ac-
companied by an audible signal and
a message in the screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop. The lane departure warning sys-
tem cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver.

The detection may be impeded:


- if the sensors are dirty (mud,
snow...),

- if the markings on the ground
are worn,

- if there is little contrast between
the markings on the ground and
the road surface.

PARKING SPACE SENSOR
System which measures the park-
ing space available between two
vehicles or obstacles. It measures
the size of the space and gives you
information on:


-
the possibility of fi tting into a free
space, depending on the dimensions
of your vehicle and the distances
necessary for your manoeuvring,


- the level of diffi culty of the ma-
noeuvre to be performed.

The system does not measure spaces
which are clearly much smaller or larger
than the size of the vehicle.

Displays in the instrument
panel
The parking space sensor function
warning lamp can have three differ-
ent states:


- off:
the function is not selected,

- on fi xed:
the function is selected
but the conditions for measuring
are not yet met (direction indi-
cator not operating, speed too
high) or the measurement is ter-
minated.

- fl ashing:
measurement is in
progress or the message is be-
ing displayed.

You can select the "parking space sen-
sor" function by pressing button A. The
fi xed illumination of the warning lamp
indicates that the function is selected.
During the measurement, the mes-
sage "Measurement in progress -
Vmax 20 km/h (12 mph)" is displayed

DRIVING

Operation

You have identifi ed a parking space:


)
Press button A
to select the func-
tion.

)
Activate the direction indicator
on the side where the space is to
be measured.

)
During measurement, go for-
ward the length of the space, at
a speed less than 12 mph (ap-
prox. 20 km/h), to prepare for
your manoeuvre.
The system then measures the size
of the space.

)
The system informs you of the
level of diffi culty of the manoeu-
vre via a message in the instru-
ment panel screen accompanied
by an audible signal.

)
Depending on the message is-
sued by the system, you may or
may not be able to perform the
manoeuvre. The function displays the following
types of message:

Parking YES


Parking
DIFFICULT


Parking NO
The function deselects itself auto-
matically:


- when you engage reverse gear,

- when you switch off the ignition,

- if measurement is not requested,

- within fi ve minutes of selection of
the function,

- if the vehicle speed exceeds the
threshold of 45 mph (approx.
70 km/h) for one minute.
If the lateral distance between your
vehicle and the parking space is too
large, the system may not be able to
measure the space.
The function remains available after
each measurement and thus can
measure more than one space dur-
ing your search.
In bad weather conditions or in
winter, make sure that the sensors
are not covered by dirt, or by ice or
snow.
The parking space sensor function
deactivates the front parking sen-
sors during space measurement
when you are in forward gear.
If there is a fault, have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
