4. Air intake / Air recirculation
The intake of exterior air prevents the formation
of mist on the windscreen and side windows.
The recirculation of interior air isolates the
passenger compartment from exterior odours
and smoke.
Return to exterior air intake as soon as possible
to prevent deterioration of the air quality and
the formation of mist.F

P

the interior air. The indicator
lamp comes on to confirm this.

P
ress the button again to
permit the intake of exterior air.
The
indicator lamp switches off
to confirm this.

F Press the "A /C " button again, the
associated indicator lamp goes off.
Switching off may result in some discomfort
(humidity, misting).
5. "MAX" button
The air conditioning is designed to
operate effectively in all seasons,
with the windows closed.
It enables you to:
-

l

-

i

ncrease the effectiveness of the demisting
in winter, above 3 °C.
This button allows the passenger compartment
to be quickly heated or cooled. It only
works when the air flow control is not in the
"

Emergency or assistance call
Localised Emergency Call
In an emergency, press this
button for more than 2 seconds.
Flashing of the green indicator
lamp and a voice message
confirm that the call has
been made to the "Localised
Emergency Call"* centre.
Pressing this button again immediately cancels
the request.
The green indicator lamp goes off.
The green indicator lamp remains on (without
flashing) when communication is established.
It goes off at the end of the call.
"Localised Emergency Call" immediately
locates your vehicle, makes contact with you in
your language** and - if necessary - organises
sending of the appropriate emergency
services**. In countries where the service is not
operational, or if the locating service has been
expressly declined, the call is directed straight
to the emergency services (112) without
location. If an impact is detected by the airbag
control unit, and independently of
the deployment of any airbags, an
emergency call is made automatically.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability

Trajectory control systems
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 to regain grip.
F
P
ress this button button, located on the
dashboard to the right of the steering
wheel, until the corresponding symbol
appears in the instrument panel screen.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem. The display of this symbol indicates
that the ASR and ESP systems are
deactivated.
Reactivation
These systems are not reactivated
automatically.
F

P
ress this button again to reactivate them
manually.
The symbol going off in the instrument panel
indicates the reactivation of the ASR and ESP
systems.
The anti-slip regulation (also known as Traction
Control) optimises traction to limit wheel spin,
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.
This is indicated by flashing of this
symbol in the instrument panel. The ASR /ESP systems offer should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks
or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the assembly
and repair procedures used by the
CITROËN dealer network.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Operating fault
The display of this message
in the instrument panel
indicates a malfunction of
these systems.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the ASR /ESP systems
checked.
Excessive wheel spin may damage your
vehicle's differential.

Airbags
The airbags have been designed to contribute
towards improving the safety of the occupants
in the event of violent collisions. They
supplement the action of the force-limiting seat
belts.
In this case, the electronic detectors record and
analyse the front and side impacts suffered in
the impact detection zones:
-
i
n the event of a serious impact, the
airbags are deployed instantaneously
and contribute towards protecting the
occupants of the vehicle; immediately after
the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly
so that they do not hinder the visibility of
the occupants or their possible exit from
the


vehicle,
-

i
n the event of a minor impact or rear
impact and in certain roll-over conditions,
the airbags may not be deployed; the seat
belt alone contributes towards providing
your protection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is off.
This equipment only operates once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same
or a subsequent accident), the airbag
will not be deployed again. The deployment of one or more airbags
is accompanied by a slight discharge
of smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience some
irritation.
The noise of the detonation related to
the deployment of one or more airbags
may result in a slight loss of hearing for
a short time.

Front airbags
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the
passenger's front airbag if it is deactivated,
in the event of a serious front impact applied
to all or part of the front impact zone A , in
the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the front to
the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard to
cushion their for ward movement. System which protects the head and chest of
the driver and front passenger in the event of a
front impact.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures in the four tyres are
suitable for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and as specified on the tyre
pressure label.
The under-inflation detection system
cannot warn of an incorrect pressure at
the time of reinitialisation.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of the
tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.
The alert is maintained until the
reference pressure is reinitialised after
the reinflation, repair or replacement
of the tyres concerned. In the event of
the repair or replacement of tyres, the
sensor identifiers must be registered in
the system by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

F Check that the charging warning lamp in the instrument panel is
on fixed.
Fast charging stops automatically
when the main battery is around 80%
charged. It is possible to attain a charge
of 100% by restarting the procedure.
However, the time taken by this
additional charge will be relatively long,
as the charging rate is reduced. During fast charging, the vehicle's air
conditioning may start automatically,
if needed to cool the main battery. It is
therefore per fectly normal to hear the
noise of a fan running from outside the
vehicle and to see a puddle of water
form under the vehicle. As a safety measure, the motor will
not start when the charging cable is
connected to the vehicle's socket.
Also, any attempt to start the motor
interrupts the charging procedure. It
will then be necessary to disconnect
and reconnect the charging cable to
the vehicle's socket, then to restart the
charging following the instructions for
using the charging station.If the exterior temperature is
below
0 °C, the charging time may be
longer.
If the exterior temperature is
below
-25 °C, charging may not be
possible.
If this is not the case, charging has not started;
check the operating instructions for the
charging station. The charging warning lamp in the instrument
panel goes off when charging is complete.

lose the charging socket cover and
the
flap.
After charging, close the charging
socket cover and flap.
Take care to avoid the ingress of water
or dust into the socket, under its cover
or into the charging plug. Risk of fire or
electrocution.
Vehicle out of use for a long
period
When your vehicle is going to be out
of use for a long period, charge the
main battery completely every three
months (following the normal charging
procedure).
Before charging, check that the
12 V battery is not disconnected or
discharged. If this is the case, refer
to the "12 V battery" section for
reconnecting or charging the battery.
