In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the guidelines on operation and 
maintenance below:
F 
I
 f the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been parked in the 
sun for a considerable time, first ventilate the passenger compartment for a  
few minutes.
 P
lace the air flow control at a sufficient level to provide an adequate renewal of air in 
the passenger compartment.
F
 
T
 o obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles 
located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well 
as the air extractor located in the passenger compartment on both sides of the rear shelf.
F
 
D
 o not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard (behind the instrument 
panel); this is used for regulation of the air conditioning system.
F
 
O
 perate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep it 
in good working order.
F
 
E
 nsure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter 
elements replaced regularly (see the "Checks" section).
 
 
W
 e recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its 
second special active filter, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the 
occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic 
symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
F
 
T
 o ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have 
it checked regularly.
F
 
I
 f the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a CITROËN dealer or 
a qualified workshop. The air conditioning system does not 
contain chlorine and does not present 
any danger to the ozone layer.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the 
air conditioning saves engine power and so improves towing capacity.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
The condensation created by the air 
conditioning results in a discharge 
of water under the vehicle which is 
perfectly normal.

should only be carried out with the 
vehicle stationary.
Automatic day/night model
By means of a sensor, which measures the 
light from the rear of the vehicle, this system 
automatically and progressively changes 
between the day and night uses.
In order to ensure optimum visibility 
during your manoeuvres, the mirror 
lightens automatically when reverse 
gear is engaged.

Linked with the Guide-me-home 
lighting
Association with the automatic illumination 
of headlamps provides the guide-me-home 
lighting with the following additional options:
- 
a
 utomatic activation of guide-me-home 
lighting when automatic illumination of 
headlamps is switched on (in the vehicle 
parameters of the multifunction screen 
configuration menu),
-
 
s
 election of the duration of maintaining of 
the lighting for 15, 30 or 60 seconds in the 
vehicle parameters of the multifunction 
screen configuration menu (except for 
monochrome screen A  where this is 
preset).
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the 
sunshine sensor, the lamps come 
on, this warning lamp is displayed 
in the instrument panel and/or a message appears 
in the multifunction screen, accompanied by an 
audible signal.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
In fog or snow, the sunshine 
sensor may detect sufficient light. 
Therefore, the lamps will not come on 
automatically.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, 
linked with the rain sensor and located 
in the centre of the windscreen behind 
the rear view mirror; the associated 
functions would no longer be controlled.
Automatic illumination of 
headlamps
The sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are 
switched on automatically, 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 sufficient level or 
after the windscreen wipers are switched off, the lamps 
are switched off automatically.
Activation
F Turn ring A  to the "AUTO"  position. The automatic 
illumination of headlamps is accompanied by a 
message in the multifunction screen.
Deactivation
F Turn ring A to a position other than  "AUTO" . Deactivation is accompanied by a 
message in the multifunction screen.

Vertical windscreen wiper 
position
Automatic rain sensitive 
windscreen wipers
The windscreen wipers operate automatically, 
without any action on the part of the driver, if rain 
is detected (sensor behind the rear view mirror), 
adapting their speed to the intensity of the rainfall.
Activation
This is controlled manually by the driver by 
pushing the stalk downwards to the "AUTO"
 
position.
It is accompanied by a message in the screen. This position allows the wiper blades to be lifted 
for winter parking, cleaning or replacement 
without damaging the bonnet.
In the minute following switching off of the 
ignition, any action on the wiper stalk positions 
the wipers vertically.
To park the wipers after this has been done, 
switch on the ignition and operate the wiper stalk.
Switching off
This is controlled manually by the driver by 
moving the stalk upwards then returning it to 
position "0"
.
Operating fault
If an automatic wiping malfunction occurs, the 
wipers will operate in intermittent mode.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.It is accompanied by a message in the 
screen.
The automatic rain sensitive wipers 
must be reactivated if the ignition has 
been off for more than one minute, by 
pushing the stalk downwards.
Do not cover the rain sensor, linked with 
the sunshine sensor and located in the 
centre of the windscreen behind the rear 
view mirror.
Switch off the automatic rain sensitive 
wipers when using an automatic car wash.
In winter, to avoid damaging the wiper 
blades, it is advisable to wait until the 
windscreen is completely clear of ice 
before activating the automatic rain 
sensitive wipers.
To retain the effectiveness of the flat 
wiper blades, it is advisable to:
-
 
h
 andle them with care,
-
 
c
 lean them regularly using soapy 
water,
-
 
n
 ot use them to hold a sheet of 
cardboard against the windscreen,
-
 
r
 eplace them at the first signs of 
w e a r.

Horn
F Press one of the spokes of the steering wheel. Audible warning to alert other road users to an 
imminent danger.
Under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.The system monitors the pressures in the four 
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four 
wheel speed sensors with reference values, 
which must be reinitialised ever y time the 
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel 
changed .
The system triggers an alert as soon as it 
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one 
or more tyres.
The under-inflation detection system 
does not replace the need for vigilance 
on the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to 
check the tyre pressures (including the 
spare wheel) every month as well as 
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs 
road holding, extends braking distances 
and causes premature tyre wear, 
particularly under arduous condition 
(high loading, high speed, long journey). The inflation pressures defined for 
your vehicle can be found on the tyre 
pressure label.
For more information on the 
identification markings, refer to the 
corresponding section.
Tyre pressures should be checked 
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle 
stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of 
less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate 
speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to 
the pressures shown on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyres 
increases fuel consumption.

Rear parking sensorsSystem comprising four proximity sensors, located in the rear bumper.
This detects obstacles (person, vehicle, tree, 
gate, etc.) behind the vehicle. However, it 
cannot detect obstacles located just below the 
b u m p e r.
Activation
The system is activated as soon as reverse 
gear is engaged, accompanied by an audible 
signal. The proximity information is given by:
- 
a
 n audible signal, which becomes more 
rapid as the vehicle approaches the 
obstacle,
-
 
a g
 raphic in the multifunction screen, with 
blocks which become increasingly closer to 
the vehicle (depending on version).
Detection zoneWhen the distance between the rear of the vehicle 
and the obstacle is less than thirty centimetres, the 
audible signal becomes continuous and the "Danger" 
symbol appears in the multifunction screen.
On completion of the manoeuvre, when you exit 
reverse gear, the system becomes inactive.
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks 
cone or any other similar object may 
be detected at the beginning of the 
manoeuvre, but may no longer be detected 
when the vehicle comes close to it. The parking sensors system cannot in 
any circumstances replace the need for 
vigilance on the part of the driver.
