Stop & Start

This system puts the engine tempo-
rarily into standby during stops in the
traffi c (red lights, traffi c jams, etc...).
The engine restarts automatically as
soon as you want to move off.

tion, exhaust emissions and noise
when stationary.

Lane departure warning system


This driving aid warns you when you
unwittingly cross a lane marking.

Parking sensors (visual and
audible)

This system warns you if an obstacle
is detected in front of or behind the
vehicle.
Tyre under-infl ation detection

headlamps

This system automatically provides
you with extra visibility on bends.
This lighting is linked with the cor-
nering lighting which maximises the
illuminated area at intersections and
when parking.

ECO-DRIVING

Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.


Optimise the use of your
gearbox

With a manual gearbox, move off gently,
change up without waiting and drive by
changing up quite soon. If your vehicle
has the system, the gear effi ciency
indicator invites you to change up; it is
displayed in the instrument panel, follow
its instructions.


With an automatic or electronic gearbox,
stay in Drive "D"
or Auto "A"
, according
to the type of gearbox, without pressing
the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.



Drive smoothly


Maintain a safe distance between
vehicles, use engine braking rather than
the brake pedal, and press the acce-
lerator progressively. These practices
contribute towards a reduction in fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions and also helps reduce the background traffi c noise.


If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds above
25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffi c is
fl owing well.



Control the use of your
electrical equipment

Before moving off, if the passenger
compartment is too warm, ventilate it
by opening the windows and air vents
before using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the
windows and leave the air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment
that can help keep the temperature in
the passenger compartment down (sun
roof and window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless
it has automatic digital regulation, as
soon as the desired temperature is
attained.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting
controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as
possible.

Switch off the headlamps and front
foglamps when the level of light does
not require their use.
Avoid running the engine before mo-
ving off, particularly in winter; your
vehicle will warm up much faster while
driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting
your multimedia devices (fi lm, music,
video game...), you will contribute
towards limiting the consumption of
electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices
before leaving the vehicle.

MIRRORS


Door mirrors

Each fi tted with an adjustable mirror
glasses providing the lateral rear-
ward vision necessary for overtaking
or parking. They can also be folded.

Adjustment
With the ignition on:


)

move control A
to the right or to
the left to select the corresponding
mirror,

)
move control B
in all four direc-
tions to adjust,

)

return control A
to the central position. Demisting/defrosting of the door
mirrors is associated with that of
the rear screen.


Folding


)
from outside; lock the vehicle
using the remote control or the

a long press on control A
re-engages
the mirror.
The folding and unfolding of the door
mirrors using the remote control can
be deactivated by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
The objects observed are, in reality,
closer than they appear.
Take this into account in order to
correctly judge the distance of ve-
hicles approaching from behind.







Rear view mirror

Adjustable mirror providing a central
rearward view.
Equipped with an anti-dazzle sys-
tem, which darkens the mirror glass:
this reduces the nuisance to the
driver caused by the headlamps
from following vehicles, low sun...

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
CONTROLS
Control stalk for the selection and con-
trol of the various front and rear lamps
providing the vehicle's lighting.

Main lighting

The various front and rear lamps of
the vehicle are designed to adapt
the driver's visibility progressively in
relation to the climatic conditions:


- sidelamps, to be seen,

- dipped beam headlamps to see
without dazzling other drivers,

- main beam headlamps to see
clearly when the road is clear.



Additional lighting

Other lamps are fi tted to fulfi l the re-
quirements of particular driving con-
ditions:


- a rear foglamp to be seen from a
distance,

- front foglamps for even better
forward vision,

- directional headlamps for im-
proved visibility when cornering,

- daytime running lamps to be
seen during the day.



Programming

Various automatic lighting control
modes are also available depending
on options:


- guide-me-home lighting,

- automatic illumination of head-
lamps,

- directional lighting.

Model with rear foglamps
only
Model with front and rear
foglamps





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 drivers.
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 ligh-
ting mode, an audible signal warns
the driver if the vehicle's lighting is
still on.
In this case, switching off the ligh-
ting 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.

manently, when the engine is run-
ning, if:


- The function is activated * in the
"Main Menu" of the instrument
panel screen.

- The lighting control is at position 0

or AUTO
.

- All the headlamps are off.
You can deactivate * this function
using the "Main Menu" of the instru-
ment panel screen.






Manual guide-me-home
lighting
Temporarily keeping the dipped
beam headlamps on after the vehi-
cle's ignition has been switched off
makes the driver's exit easier when
the light is poor.

headlamps are switched on automati-
cally, without any action on the part of
the driver, when a low level of external
light is detected or in certain cases of
activation of the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to a
suffi cient level or after the windscreen
wipers are switched off, the lamps are
switched off automatically.

nation of headlamps provides the
"guide-me-home" lighting with the
following additional options:


- selection of the duration of ligh-
ting for 15, 30 or 60 seconds in
the vehicle parameters on the in-
strument panel screen confi gu-
ration menu,

shine sensor, the lighting comes on
and a message appears in the instru-
ment panel screen, accompanied by
an audible signal.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sen-
sor may detect suffi cient light.
Therefore, the lighting will not
come on automatically.
