MAXIMUM APPLICATION
If necessary, you can utilise maximum application of the parking brake. It is obtained by means of a long pull on control A, until you see the message “Maximum parking brake application” and a beep is heard.
Maximum application is indispensable:In the case of a vehicle towing a caravan or a trailer, if the automatic functions are activated but you are applying the parking brake manually.
When the gradient you are parked on is variable in its effect (e.g. on a ferry, in a lorry, during towing).Note:In the case of towing, a loaded vehicle or parking on a gradient, turn the front wheels towards the pavement and engage a gear when you park.
After maximum application, the release time will be longer.
PARTICULAR SITUATIONS
In certain situations (starting the engine, etc), the parking brake can automatically alter its force. This is normal opera-tion.
To advance your vehicle a few centimetres without starting the engine, but with the ignition on, press on the brake pedal and release the parking brake by pushing then releasing control A.
The full release of the parking brake is confi rmed by the extinction of the warning lamp on control A, and of the warn-ing lamp on the instrument panel, and by the display of the message “Parking brake released” on the instrument panel screen.
If the parking brake malfunctions while applied or if the battery runs fl at, an emergency release is always possib le (see paragraph “Emergency unlocking”).

Parking brake
The parking brake is engaged, with the vehicle stationary, by pulling on the lever with a force appropriate to the slope.
To facilitate the action on the lever, you are recommended t o press the brake pedal at the same time.
In all circumstances, as a precautionary measure, engage fi rst gear.
On steep gradients, turn the steering towards the pavement.
To release the parking brake, press on the end of the lever wh ilst pulling it then lower it fully.
The warning lamp comes on if the parking brake is engaged or n ot fully released.
If the parking brake is released, the lighting of this warning lamp along with the STOP warn-ing lamp indicates an insuffi cient level of brake fl uid or a malfunction of the braking distribu-tion.
It is essential to stop the vehicle.
Consult a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.

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 ing denot 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.

You are advised to use the automatic air conditioning regulation. This automatically regulates the following functions for maximum comfort : air fl ow, passenger compartment temperature, and air distribution, 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 sunlight sensor A.
Provided you retain automatic mode (by pressing button “AUTO”) and all the air vents are open, you will main-tain an optimum comfort level, also removing humidity and misting, whatever the ambient climatic conditions.
The temperature inside the cabin cannot be lower than the temperature outside if the air conditioning is not operating.
To be effective, the air conditioning should only be used with the windows closed. If after a lengthy stop in bright sunlight the interior temperature is excessive, air the passenger compartment by opening the windows for a few moments, then close them again.
To ensure the correct operation of the air conditioning system, it is essential to operate the air conditioning at least once a month.
The air conditioning operates by using power from the engine. This results in a slight increase in fuel con-sumption.
In certain extreme operating conditions (e.g. carrying a full load up a steep gradient in high temperatures), 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 bot-tom of the windscreen, is clean and free of dead leaves, snow, etc.
If washing the vehicle with a high pressure jet, avoid targeting the air inlet zone.
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 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 tted 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 according to the vehicle maintenance schedule. See “Maintenance Guide”.

Switching off the entry of air
Press button 6 to switch off the entry of air from outside.
Whilst retaining the other settings, this posi-tion allows the driver at any moment to exclude unpleasant smells or smoke/emissions coming from outside.
This mode should be cancelled as soon as possible to allow the redistribution of air in the passenger compartment.
Entry of air from outside
Press once on button 6 to return to the origi-nal status (Entry of air from outside).
7. Rear demisting - deicing
Press button 7, with the engine running, to start a rapid deicing or demisting of the rear screen and rear view mirrors. The warning lamp comes on.
This mode automatically stops depending on the out-side temperature. It can be interrupted by a further press on button 7 or by stopping the engine.
In the latter case, demisting will resume when the engine is switched on again.Note: The heated rear screen operates independently of the automatic air conditioning.
8. Front demisting - deicing
In some cases, “AUTO” mode may not be suffi cient to demist or defrost the windows (e.g. humidity, several passengers, frost).
Press button 8 for rapid clear windows. The warning lamp comes on. This system controls air conditioning, temperature and air fl ow/entry. It distributes ventilation towards the windscreen and the front windows.
You can manually exit “Demisting” mode. This mode should be cancelled as soon as possible to allow the redistribution of air in the passenger compartment.
A press on either of the buttons 1a or 1b allows you to return to “AUTO” mode.
Remarks:When starting from cold, in order to prevent unwanted cold air, the air fl ow will increase only gradually to its optimum level.If you enter the vehicle after a fairly prolonged stop and the temperature inside the vehicle is far from comf ort-able, it serves no purpose to modify the temperatur e that is displayed as an attempt to go immediately t o the desired comfort level. The system automatically uses all of its power to compensate the temperature gap as quickly as possible.
Water arising from the condensation in the air con-ditioning drains out through a hole provided for this purpose ; a pool of water may thus form underneath the vehicle when stationary.
Whatever the time of year, even in cool weather the air conditioning is useful in removing humidity and misting. Avoid driving for too long with air condition-ing deactivated.
