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.

SAFETY
TRAJECTORY CONTROL
SYSTEMS

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
programme (ESP)

Activation
These systems are activated auto-
matically each time the vehicle is
started.
They come into operation in the event
of a grip or trajectory problem.
This is indicated by fl ashing
of this warning lamp in the
instrument panel.


Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a
vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground...), it may be
advisable to deactivate the ASR and
ESP systems, so that the wheels
can move freely and regain grip.


)
Press the "ESP OFF"
button, lo-
cated in the middle of the dash-
board.

If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel and the in-
dicator lamp in the button comes
on, this indicates that the ASR and
ESP systems are deactivated.
Your vehicle has a system to im-
prove traction on snow: intelligent
traction control
.
This system detects situations of low
adhesion that might make moving off
and progress diffi cult on deep fresh
snow or compacted snow .
In these situations the intelligent
traction control
system regulates
the amount of wheel slip to optimise
the traction and trajectory control of
your vehicle.
The anti-slip regulation (also known
as Traction Control) optimises trac-
tion to prevent skidding of the wheels,
by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability programme acts
on the brake of one or more wheels
and on the engine to keep the vehicle
on the trajectory required by the driver,
within the limits of the laws of physics.








Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion") For vehicles with Hydractive III +
suspension, manual adjustment of
ground clearance to the intermediate
position improves further the ability
to make progress in deep snow (see
the relevant paragraph).
The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on surfaces with low
adhesion.

It is recommended that these systems
be reactivated as soon as possible.
