Front electric window controls
The electric window switches 
remain operational for approximately 
45  seconds after the ignition is 
switched off or until a front door 
is opened. If, during this period of 
45
  seconds, you open a door while 
operating a window, the window stops. 
The window switch will then only be 
operative after the ignition is switched 
on again.

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance 
guidelines below:
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 boot.
F
 
D
 o not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation 
of the air conditioning system.
F
 
O
 perate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month 
to keep it in per fect working order.
F
 
E
 nsure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter 
elements replaced regularly.
 W
e 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).
F
 
T
 o 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.
F
 
I
 f 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 
perfectly 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.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning 
systems only work when the engine 
is running. To maintain a comfortable 
temperature in the passenger 
compartment, you can temporarily 
deactivate the Stop & Start system  
(see the corresponding section).

Operation
Gear efficiency indicator
System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up, on vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox.The system adapts its gear change 
recommendation according to the 
driving conditions (slope, load,
  ...) and 
the demands of the driver (power, 
acceleration, braking,
 
...).
The system never suggests:
-
 e
ngaging first gear,
-
 enga
ging reverse gear,
-
 enga
ging a lower gear.
Example:
-
 
Y
 ou are in third gear.
Depending on the driving situation and your 
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise 
you to skip one (or more) gear(s). You can 
follow this instruction without engaging the 
intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations must 
not be considered compulsory. In fact, the 
configuration of the road, the amount of traffic 
and safety remain determining factors when 
choosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver 
remains responsible for deciding whether or not 
to follow the advice given by the system.
This system cannot be deactivated.

a higher gear.
The information appears in the instrument 
panel in the form of an arrow, accompanied by

nor can it replace the need for vigilance and

circumstances, replace the need to observe speed 
limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance and 
responsibility on the part of the driver.
You are advised to keep your feet near the pedals 
at all times.

Flashing of the dashes indicates a fault with the 
cruise control.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Operating fault Switching off
F Turn wheel 1 to the "0" position. T
he display of information related to the 
cruise control disappears. When the cruise control is switched on, 
be careful if you maintain the pressure 
on one of the programmed speed 
changing buttons: this may result in a 
very rapid change in the speed of your 
vehicle.
Do not use the cruise control on 
slippery roads or in heavy traffic.
On a steep descent, the cruise control 
will not be able to prevent the vehicle 
from exceeding the programmed speed.
On steep climbs or when towing, the 
programmed speed may not be reached 
or maintained.
The use of mats not approved by 
CITROËN may inter fere with the 
operation of the cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the 
pedals:
-
 
e
 nsure that the mat is secured 
c o r r e c t l y,
-
 
n
 ever fit one mat on top of another.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed 
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply 
release the accelerator pedal until the 
programmed cruise speed is reached again.
Exceeding the programmed 
speed
Once switched on, you can pause the cruise 
control at any time by pressing button 4: the 
screen confirms the pause.
Pause
If the programmed speed is exceeded, 
the displayed speed flashes.
Once the speed of the vehicle returns 
to the programmed speed, the display 
becomes steady again. The cruise control is paused
 manually 
or by pressing the brake or clutch pedal 
or if the ESP system is invoked for 
safety reasons.

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.
Parking sensors
This function cannot, in any 
circumstances, take the place of the 
vigilance and responsibility of the driver.The system is switched on by engaging reverse 
gear. This is accompanied by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out 
of reverse gear.
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an 
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which 
increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or 
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is 
located.
When the distance between the vehicle and 
the obstacle becomes less than approximately 
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes 
continuous.
Rear parking sensors
Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal by displaying 
bars in the screen or the instrument panel which 
move progressively nearer to the vehicle. When the 
obstacle is near, the "Danger" symbol is displayed.

Reversing camera
Clean the reversing camera regularly 
using a soft, dry cloth.
The reversing camera is activated automatically 
when reverse gear is engaged.
The image is displayed in the touch screen tablet.
The space between the blue lines represents 
the width of your vehicle except for the door 
mirrors.
The blue lines represent the general direction 
of the vehicle.
The red lines represent a distance of about 
30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's 
rear bumper. The audible signal becomes 
continuous from this limit.
The green lines represent distances of about 1 
and 2 metres beyond the edge of your vehicle's 
rear bumper.
The turquoise blue curves represent the 
maximum turning circle.
The reversing camera cannot in any 
circumstances be a substitute for the 
vigilance and responsibility of the driver. Opening the tailgate causes the display 
to disappear.
The reversing camera function may be 
completed with parking sensors. High pressure jet washing
When washing your vehicle, do not direct the 
lance within 30 cm of the camera lens.
