In this case, do not install a rear-
facing child seat. Turn the control switch to the " OFF
"
position to deactivate the front
passenger's airbag.
In this case you can install a rear-facing
child seat.


Stop & Start


fi xed. When the vehicle stops (red lights,
traffi c jams, ...) the Stop & Start
system has put the engine into
STOP mode. The warning lamp goes off and the
engine restarts automatically in
START mode, as soon as you want
to move off.

COMFORT

Air conditioning

We recommend use of the automatic
regulation of the air conditioning.
It permits automatic and optimised
control of all of the following func-
tions: air fl ow, temperature in the
passenger compartment and air
distribution, by means of various
sensors (ambient temperature, sun-
shine). This eliminates any need for
you to change your settings other
than the temperature value dis-
played.


)
Take care not to cover the sun-
shine sensor A
.
If you select the automatic mode
(by pressing the "AUTO" control)
and leave all of the vents open, opti-
mum comfort will be maintained and
humidity and condensation will be
removed regardless of the exterior
climatic conditions.
The temperature in the passenger
compartment can only be lower than
the ambient temperature if the air
conditioning is on.
HEATING, VENTILATION
AND AIR CONDITIONING
RECOMMENDATIONS In order to be effective, the air con-
ditioning must be used with the win-
dows closed. If the vehicle has been
parked in the sun for a long period
and the interior temperature is very
high, fi rst ventilate the passenger
compartment with the windows
open for a few minutes, then close
the windows.
To keep the air conditioning system
in good working order it is essential
that it is operated at least once a
month.
The air conditioning uses engine pow-
er during its operation. As a result,
the fuel consumption of the vehicle
increases.
In certain cases of particularly ardu-
ous use (e.g. towing the maximum
load on a steep gradient in high tem-
peratures), switching off the air con-
ditioning saves engine power and
improves 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.
When washing the vehicle using a
high pressure nozzle, avoid spray-
ing at the air inlet.


Air circulation

Maximum comfort is obtained by
means of a good distribution of air in
the passenger compartment, both in
the front and in the rear.
To obtain a uniform distribution of
air, take care not to block the ex-
terior air intake grille located at the
base of the windscreen, the vents,
the air outlets under the front seats
and the air extractor located behind
the fl aps in the boot.
The front and rear vents are fi tted
with thumbwheels to adjust the air
fl ow and direction. We recommend
that you leave all of the vents open.


Dust filter / Odour filter
(active carbon)
There is a fi lter for excluding odours
and dust.
This fi lter must be changed in line
with the vehicle's servicing schedule
(see the vehicle's servicing booklet).

COMFORT
PROGRAMMABLE HEATING

The programmable heating operates
independently of the engine.
When the engine is off, it pre-heats
the coolant circuit in order to benefi t
from an optimum engine operating
temperature from the time the en-
gine is switched on.
The programmable heating system
is switched on using the long range
remote control. Activation can be im-
mediate or deferred by means of a
programming function.

Programming remote control

The heating system programming
remote control consists of the fol-
lowing buttons and displays:


1.
Scrolling functions menu but-
tons.

2.
Function indicators: clock, tem-
perature, operating time, pro-
grammed time, heater operation,
heating management symbols.

3.
Digital displays: time, tempera-
ture, duration of operation, pro-
grammed time or level of heating.

4.
Off button.

5.
On button.



Displays on the remote
control screen

Press the buttons 1
in succession to
display the functions.
The fi rst press of the left-hand or
right-hand button displays the time.
Next, the left-hand button permits
access to the programming time then
to the level of heating (C1 to C5).
The right-hand button permits ac-
cess to the passenger compartment
temperature then to the duration of
operation of the heater if it is to be
switched on immediately.

If a malfunction of the program-
mable heating system occurs,
contact a CITROËN dealer
or a

qualifi ed workshop

.




Displaying the functions


The passenger compartment tem-
perature information is only avail-
able when the engine is off.

COMFORT

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.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING A TRAILER

Towbar suitable for the attachment
of a trailer or installation of a bicycle
carrier, with additional lighting and
signalling.

Your vehicle is primarily designed
for transporting people and luggage,
but it may also be used for towing a
trailer.

If the towbar is not fi tted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted in accordance with
the vehicle manufacturer's instructions.


Driving advice


Distribution of loads


)
Distribute the load in the trailer
so that the heaviest items are as
close as possible to the axle and
the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without ex-
ceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus reducing engine performance.
Above 1 000 metres, the maximum
towed load must be reduced by 10 %
for every 1 000 metres of altitude.

Side wind


)
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.


Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled,
its cooling capacity is not dependent
on the engine speed.


)
To lower the engine speed, re-
duce your speed. The maximum towed load on a long
incline depends on the gradient and
the ambient temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the
coolant temperature.

Braking
Towing a trailer increases the brak-
ing distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes
on a long mountain type of descent,
the use of engine braking is recom-
mended.

Tyres


)
Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended
pressures.


Lighting


)
Check the electrical lighting and
signalling on the trailer.


The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a gen-
uine CITROËN towbar is used.


)
If the warning lamp and
the STOP
warning lamp
come on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.


We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle, and that the fi tting of the
towbar is entrusted to a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

Driving with a trailer places great-
er demands on the towing vehicle
and the driver must take particular
care.

Refer to the "Technical Data" section
for details of the weights and towed
loads which apply to your vehicle.
