Automatic day/night model
By means of a sensor, which measures
the light from the rear of the vehicle,
this system automatically and progres-
sively changes between the day and
night uses.
In order to ensure optimum vis-
ibility during your manoeuvres,
the mirror lightens automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT

When stationary
, pull the control
lever to release the adjustment
mechanism.
)
Adjust the height and reach to suit
your driving position.
)
Push the control lever to lock the
adjustment mechanism.
As a safety precaution, these op-
erations should only be carried out
while the vehicle is stationary.

SAFETY

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
System which automatically and continu-
ously checks the pressure of the tyres
while driving.
Sensors fi tted in each valve trigger a
warning in the event of problem (speed
above 12 mph (20 km/h)).
This warning lamp is displayed
on the instrument panel and/or a
message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal,
to identify the wheel concerned.
Under-infl ated tyre
The STOP
warning lamp
comes on and/or this warn-
ing lamp is displayed on the
instrument panel, accompa-
nied by an audible signal and
a message in the screen iden-
tifying the wheel concerned.
)
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so,
avoiding any sudden movement of
the steering wheel and the brakes.
)
Repair or change the damaged
wheel (punctured or very defl ated
tyre), and have the tyre pressure
checked as soon as possible.
Puncture
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
A message appears in the screen, ac-
companied by an audible signal, to
identify the wheel or wheels which are
not detected or to indicate a malfunc-
tion in the system.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop to replace the faulty
sensor(s).
This message is also displayed
when one of the wheels is away
from the vehicle (being repaired)
or when one or more wheels
without a sensor are fi tted.
If your vehicle is equipped with
a spare wheel, this is not fi tted
with a sensor. All repairs and changing of tyres
on a wheel fi tted with this sys-
tem must be carried out by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you
install a wheel which is not de-
tected by your vehicle (example:
fi tting of snow tyres), you must
have the system reinitialised by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
The tyre under-infl ation detec-
tion system is an aid to driving
which does not replace the need
for the driver to be vigilant or to
drive responsibly. This system does not avoid the
need to have the tyre pressures
checked regularly (refer to the
"Identifi cation markings" sec-
tion) to ensure that the optimum
dynamic performance of the ve-
hicle is maintained and prevent
premature wear of the tyres, par-
ticularly in arduous driving condi-
tions (heavy load, high speed).
The tyre pressures must be
checked cold, at least once a
month. Remember to check the
pressure of the spare wheel.
The tyre under-infl ation detec-
tion system may experience
temporary interference due to
electro-magnetic emissions on a
frequency close to that used by
the system.
)
Check the tyre pressures as soon
as possible.
This check must be carried out when
the tyres are cold.

6-SPEED ELECTRONICGEARBOX SYSTEM
Six-speed electronic gearbox system
which offers a choice between the com-
fort of fully automatic operation or the
pleasure of manual gear changing.
There are two driving modes:
- automatic
mode for automatic control
of the gears by the gearbox,
- manual
mode for sequential gear
changing by the driver.
In automatic mode, it remains possible
to change gear manually by using the
steering mounted control paddles, when
overtaking, for example.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it
does not block traffi c: the ground
must be level, stable and non-
slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake unless it
has been programmed to auto-
matic mode, switch off the igni-
tion and engage fi rst gear * to lock
the wheels.
Check that the braking warning
lamps on the instrument panel
are on (not fl ashing).
If necessary, place a chock under
the wheel diagonally opposite the
wheel to be changed.
The occupants must get out of
the vehicle and wait where they
are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle
raised using a jack; use an axle
stand.
*
position R
for the electronic gearbox
system; P
for the automatic gearbox.
List of operations
)
Remove the chromed bolt cover
from each of the bolts using the
tool 3
(according to equipment).
)
Fit the security socket 4
on the
wheelbrace 1
to slacken the security
bolt.
)
Slacken the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1
only.
)
Place the jack 2
in contact with one
of the two front A
or rear B
locations
provided on the underbody, which-
ever is closest to the wheel to be
changed.
)
Extend the jack 2
until its base plate
is in contact with the ground. Ensure
that the centreline of the jack base
plate is directly below the location A
or B
used.
)
Raise the vehicle until there is suffi -
cient space between the wheel and
the ground to admit the spare (not
punctured) wheel easily.
)
Remove the bolts and store them in
a clean place.
