When stationary, having removed the key, carefully turn the steering wheel if you wish to lock the steering.
S: STEERING LOCK
To unlock the steering, gently move the steering wheel while turning the key, without exerting undue force.
When you remove the key, turn your steering wheel to lock the steering. The key can only be removed when in position S.

ECONOMY MODE
In order not to discharge the bat-tery while the engine is stopped, your vehicle goes automatically into economy mode after a max-imum of 30 minutes. Economy mode is indicated by a message on the screen.
The electrical components relating to comfort and also the headlamps (not sidelamps or hazard warning lamps) cut out automatically. To reactivate them, it is necessary to start the engine.
Depending on your vehicle ver-sion, the following warning lamps are tested:
If one of these warning lamps does not light up, this indicates a mal-function.
D: STARTING
Release the key as soon as the engine starts. Never turn it while the engine is running.

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 comfortable, it serves no purpose to modify the temperature that is displayed as an attempt to go immediately to the desired comfort level. The system automatically uses all of its power to compensate the temperature gap as quickly as possible.
Remarks:Water arising from the condensation in the air conditioning 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.You are advised to have the air conditioning system checked on a regular basis. See "Maintenance Guide".
If you are towing a heavy trailer and outside temperatures are high, the air conditioning may be temporarily paused if the engine cooling requires this.

5. FRONT DEMISTING - DEICING
Press button 5 for rapid clear windows. The warning lamp comes on. This system controls the air condi-tioning, the air fl ow and the entry of air from outside. It sends the ventilation towards the windscreen and side windows.
A press on the 1 button returns you to "AUTO" mode.
6. REAR DEMISTING - DEICING
Press button 6, 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 stops automatically as a function of the out-side temperature. It can be paused by pressing again on button 6 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.
7. AIR RECIRCULATION – ENTRY OF AIR FROM OUTSIDE
Press repeatedly on button 7 to select the air entry mode. The corresponding warning lamp lights up:Air intake in automatic pollution control mode (on by default, with automatic comfort regulation).
The automatic mode makes use of an air quality sen-sor. It analyses the air and isolates the cabin from the exterior if the presence of pollutants is detected. In this case it automatically activates recirculation of the cabin air.
Please note: this function does not detect and there-fore protect the cabin from unpleasant odours. It is not active when the ambient temperature is below + 5 °C so as to avoid the risk of misting the vehicle’s windows.
Closing the exterior air intake
Press button 7 to close the intake of air from the exte-rior.
While maintaining the other settings, this position allows the driver to avoid unpleasant odours and smoke out-side the vehicle at any time.
It should be cancelled as soon as possible to allow exchange of the cabin air and to avoid misting of the vehicle’s windows.
Exterior air intake
Press button 7 once to open the exterior air intake.

Glass sun roof
The sun roof is operated by the electrical control A.
An action to the fi rst notch of the control starts a movement which stops as soon as you release the control.
An action to the second notch of the control opens or closes the sun roof fully. A further action stops the movement.
ANTI-PINCH
An anti-pinch device is present to stop the sun roof from sliding shut. If it meets an obstacle it slides in the opposite direction.
After a battery disconnection or if there has been a malfunction, you have to re-initialise the anti-pinch function.
To do that, action the control A to the second notch to make the sun roof open fully, then keep the control A pressed for at least 1 seconds.
Warning: During this manœuvre, the anti-pinch does not operate.
Your vehicle's sun roof has a manually-operated blind.
Always remove the ignition key when leaving the vehicle, even if for a short time.
In the event of anything being caught by the sun roof clos ing, you must reverse the roof movement.
To do that, reverse the position of the control concerned.
When the driver is operating the sun roof, he or she must always make sure that the passengers are not preventing it from closing properly.
The driver must ensure that passengers use the sun roof control correctly.
PAY ESPECIAL ATTENTION TO WHERE CHILDREN ARE WHEN OPERATING THE SUN ROOF.

The particular radio station is not in the regional t raffi c information network.Change to a radio station that does broadcast traffi c information.
The reception quality of the radio station being listened to gradually deteriorates.
The vehicle is too distant from the transmitter, or no transmitter is present in the geographical area you a re passing through.
Activate the RDS function to allow the system to check whether a more power ful transmitter is to be found in the geographical area.
The environment (hills, high buildings, tunnels, under-ground car parks, etc.) is blocking reception, even in RDS mode.
This phenomenon is normal and does not imply anything wrong with the radio.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example after going through a car wash or in an underground car park).Have the aerial checked by a CITROËN dealer.
When the engine is not running, the radio stops after a few minutes.
When the engine is switched off, the working time for the radio depends on the battery charge. The interruption is normal.: the radio goes into economy mode, cutting of f in order to save the vehicle’s battery.
You have to start the engine so as to increase the battery charge.
The message "the audio system is overheating" appears on the screen.
In order to protect the audio equipment in excessive ambient temperatures, the radio goes into an automatic thermic protection mode which results in a reduction in sound volume or stopping of the CD player.
Switch off the audio system for a few minutes in order to allow the system to cool down.

Check that the leads are well secured (risk of sparks).
Start the engine of the assisting vehicle. Let the engine run for around 1 minute at a slightly accelerated idle.
Operate the starter on the vehicle being assisted.
It is essential to follow the indicated sequence correctly.
Never approach with a fl ame or create sparks in the vicinity of the battery (explosive gas).
The battery contains dilute sulphuric acid which is hig hly corrosive.
When handling batteries, always protect your face and es pecially your eyes.
