the driver caused by the sun, headlamps from other vehicles...


Manual day/night model

Adjustment



)
Adjust the mirror so that the glass is
directed correctly in the "day" position.

As a safety measure, the mirrors should be adjusted to reduce the "blind spot".

Vent ilat i on


Air intake

The air circulating in the passenger compartment
is filtered and originates either from the outside via
the grille located at the base of the windscreen or
from the inside in air recirculation mode.


Air treatment

The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by the
driver:


- direct arrival in the passenger
compartment (air intake),

- passage through a heating circuit (heating),

- passage through a cooling circuit (air
conditioning).



Control panel

Air distribution

Comfort
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:


)
To 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 boot.

)
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation
of the air conditioning system.

)
Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month
to keep it in per fect working order.

)
Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly.
We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its
special active additive, 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).

)
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
it checked regularly as recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.

)
If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.











Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning


If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very high, first
ventilate the passenger compartment for
a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.

The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge
of water under the vehicle which is
per fectly normal.

When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the
air conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.

Parking sensors


This function cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver.



Rear parking sensors

This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.)
which comes within the field of detection of
sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks
cone, etc.) detected initially will no longer be
detected at the end of the manoeuvre due to
the presence of blind spots.


Audible assistance

The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.

The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear. This is accompanied by an audible signal.
The indicator lamp in the button comes on to
confirm that the system is active.
The system is deactivated when you come out
of reverse gear.

Visual assistance







Front parking sensors


Deactivation / Activation of the
front and rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this
button. The indicator lamp in the button
goes off.
Pressing this button again reactivates the
function. The indicator lamp in the button
comes on.



Operating fault

The front parking sensors are triggered when
an obstacle is detected in front, a gear is
engaged (position D for vehicles with a CVT
gearbox) and the speed of the vehicle remains
below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than five seconds
in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).




Remember to deactivate the system if
towing a trailer or caravan.

In bad weather or in winter, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with mud,
ice or snow.
When the vehicle is moving at a speed
below 6 mph (10 km/h), certain sound
sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic
drill, etc.) may trigger the audible
signals of the parking sensor system.
In the event of an problem, when reverse gear
is engaged this lamp in the button flashes,
accompanied by an audible signal. This supplements the audible
signal by displaying bars in the
screen, in front of or behind the
vehicle. If one of the sensors is faulty, it
flashes in the instrument panel
screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. These bars flash at the start of the manoeuvre
then become fixed from a certain distance
between the vehicle and the obstacle.

Reversing camera


Linked with the navigation option, the reversing
camera complements the parking sensor
system and is activated automatically when
reverse gear is engaged. The colour image is provided on the navigation
screen with indication of the limit of the rear
bumper and of the general direction of the
vehicle.
