Ease of use and comfort
Correct driving position
For safety reasons, adjustments must
only be made when the vehicle is
stationary.
Before taking to the road and to make the most
of the ergonomic layout of the instruments and
controls, carry out these adjustments in the
following order:
– head restraint height.– seat backrest angle.– seat cushion height.– longitudinal seat position.– steering wheel height and reach.– rear view mirror and door mirrors.

Once these adjustments have been
made, check that the instrument panel
can be viewed correctly from your driving
position.

Height adjustment

Upward:► pull the head restraint up to the desired position; the head restraint can be felt to click
into position.
Downward:
► press the lug A and push the head restraint
down to the desired position.
The adjustment is correct when the upper edge of the head restraint is level
with the top of the head.
Removing a head restraint
► Pull the head restraint up as far as it will go.► Press the lug A to release the head restraint
and remove it completely.
► Stow the head restraint securely .
Refitting a head restraint

Automatic "electrochrome" model

This system automatically and progressively
transitions between day and night modes, using
a sensor that measures the light entering from
the rear of the vehicle.
To ensure optimum visibility during your manoeuvres, the mirror lightens
automatically when reverse gear is engaged.
Ventilation
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger compartment
is filtered and originates either from the
exterior, via the grille located at the base of the
windscreen, or from the inside in air recirculation
mode.
Controls
Depending on version, the controls are
accessible in the " Air conditioning" touch
screen menu or are grouped together in the
control panel on the centre console.
The demisting/defrosting controls for the
windscreen and the rear screen are located
below the touch screen, or on the centre console
panel located below the audio system.
Air distribution

1. Windscreen demisting/defrosting vents
2. Front side window demisting/defrosting vents
3.Adjustable and closable side air vents
4. Adjustable and closable central air vents
5. Air outlets to the front footwells
6. Air outlets to the rear footwells
Advice
Using the ventilation and air
conditioning system
► To ensure that air is distributed evenly, keep the external air intake grilles at the base
of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents, the
air outlets and the air extractor in the boot
free from obstructions.
► Do not cover the sunshine sensor located on the dashboard; this sensor is used to
regulate the automatic air conditioning
system.
► Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to
keep it in perfect working order.
► If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep
gradient in high temperatures, switching off
the air conditioning increases the available
engine power, enhancing the towing capacity.
Avoid driving for too long with the
ventilation off or with prolonged operation

Driving
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are in reality.
It is important to check the sides of the
vehicle during the manoeuvre, using the
mirrors.
The rear parking sensors also provide
information on the vehicle's surroundings.
180° view

The 180° view facilitates reversing out of a
parking bay, making it possible to see the
approach of vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.
This view is not recommended for carrying out a
complete manoeuvre.
It consists of 3 areas: left A, centre B and right
C. This view is available only from the view
selection menu.

contextual view (left-hand part) and the overhead
view of the vehicle.
A message is displayed advising you to check
your vehicle's surroundings before starting the
manoeuvre.
Park Assist
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
This system provides active parking assistance:
it detects a parking space and then steers in the
appropriate direction to park in the space while
the driver controls the driving direction, gear
changes, acceleration and braking. To help the driver monitor the manoeuvre, the
system automatically triggers the display of T
op Rear Vision and activates the parking sensors.
The system measures the available parking
spaces and calculates the distances to obstacles
using ultrasonic sensors built into the front and
rear bumpers of the vehicle.


The system assists with the following
manoeuvres:
A.Entering a "parallel" parking space
B. Leaving a "parallel" parking space
C. Entering a "bay" parking space
Operation
► When approaching a parking area, reduce the speed of your vehicle to 19 mph (30 km/h) or less.
Activating the function
