► Press this button to switch on/off rear screen
and door mirror demisting/de-icing (depending
on version).
The indicator lamp in the button comes on
when
the function is activated.
Demisting/de-icing switches off automatically to
prevent excessive power consumption.
Switch off demisting/de-icing as soon
as you no longer consider it necessary,
as decreased power consumption in turn
reduces energy consumption.
Demisting/de-icing only operates with the
engine running.
Interior fittings
Sun visor
The passenger's sun visor is fitted with a vanity

Safety
incorporated in the system makes a noise and
releases a small quantity of smoke.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience irritation.
The detonation noise associated with the
deployment of one or more airbags may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Front airbags

This system protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious front impact,
limiting the risk of head and chest injury.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
Deployment
They are deployed, except for the front
passenger airbag if it is deactivated*, in the
event of a violent front impact applied to all or
part of front impact zone A.
The front airbag inflates between the chest and
head of the front occupant of the vehicle and
the steering wheel, on the driver's side, and the

Lateral airbags

This system protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious side impact,
limiting the risk of injury to the chest, between
the hip and the shoulder.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, on the door side.
Deployment
The lateral airbags are deployed on one side in
the event of a serious side impact applied to all
or part of the side impact zone B.
The lateral airbag inflates between the chest of
the vehicle's occupant and the corresponding
door panel.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The airbags may not be deployed in the event of
a serious impact.
In the event of a minor impact or bump at
the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle
rolls over, the airbags may not be deployed.
In the event of a rear or front collision, none of
the lateral airbags are deployed.
Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the safety recommendations
below.
Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.
Fasten your seat belt and position it correctly.
Do not place anything between the occupants
and the airbags (e.g.
child, animal, object), do
not fix or attach anything near or in the path of
the airbags, as this could cause injuries when
they are deployed.
Never modify the original definition of the
vehicle, particularly in the area directly around
the airbags.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns to

Safety
5The front passenger airbag must be deactivated before installing a rearward
facing child seat. Otherwise, the child risks
being seriously injured or killed if the
airbag is deployed .


Warning label - Front passenger airbag

You must comply with the following instruction,
as reminded by the warning label on both sides
of the passenger sun visor:
NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint
on a seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in
front of it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.
Deactivating the front
passenger airbag


Passenger airbag OFF
To ensure the safety of the child, the front passenger airbag MUST be deactivated
when a "rearward facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child risks being seriously
injured or killed in the event of deployment of
the

airbag.
Vehicles not equipped with a
deactivation/reactivation control
Installing a "rearward
facing" child seat on
the front passenger seat is strictly prohibited
- risk of death or serious injury in the event of
airbag deployment!
Deactivating/Reactivating the front
passenger airbag
For vehicles on which it is fitted, the switch is
located inside the glove box.


With the ignition off:
► T o deactivate the airbag, turn the key in the
switch to the "OFF " position.
►

T
o reactivate it, turn the key to the "ON"
position.

Driving
6Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures
shown on the label.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Under-inflation alert
This is signalled by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and the display of a message.
►

Reduce speed immediately
, avoid excessive
steering movements and avoid sudden braking.
►

Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.
The loss of pressure detected may not always cause visible deformation of the
tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
►

Using a compressor
, such as the one in
the temporary puncture repair kit, check the
pressures of all four tyres when cold.
►

If it is not possible to carry out this check
immediately

, drive carefully at reduced speed.
►

In the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel
(depending on equipment).
Driving too slowly may not ensure
optimum monitoring.
The alert is not immediately triggered in the
event of a sudden loss of pressure or tyre
blow-out. This is because analysis of the
values read by the wheel's speed sensors
can take several minutes.
The alert may be delayed at speeds below
25 mph (40 km/h), or when adopting a sporty
driving mode.
The alert is kept active until the system is reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
► The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressure of one or more tyres,
and after changing one or more wheels.
Before reinitialising the system, make
sure that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and conform to the values written on
the tyre pressure label.
Check the pressures of the four tyres before
performing the reinitialisation.
The system does not advise if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
Without audio system
► Open the glove box.



► Hold this button down.
Reinitialisation is confirmed by a low-pitched
audible signal.
A
high-pitched audible signal indicates that the
reinitialisation has not been carried out.
The new pressure parameters saved are treated
as reference values by the system.
With audio system
► Press the MENU button for access to the
main menu.
►

Press the "
7" or "8" button to select the
"Personalisation-configuration " menu and
confirm by pressing the central button.
►

Press the "
7" or "8" button to select the
"Define the vehicle parameters " menu and
confirm by pressing the central button.
►

Press the "
7" or "8" button to select the
"Driving assistance" category and confirm by
pressing the central button.
