ESP/ASR warning lamp In operation
When either the ESP or ASR system is brought into operation, the ESP/ASR warning lamp fl ashes.
In the event of a problem
When the vehicle is moving, the lighting of the ESP/ASR warning lamp indicates that the system is malfunctioning.
Contact a CITROËN dealer.
Deactivation
Illumination of the ESP/ASR warning lamp and of the ESP control, means that the system is deactivated.
Fuel gauge and low fuel warning
When the tank is full, all the indicator bars are illumi-nated.
When the low fuel level warning comes on, there remain around 7 litres of fuel in the tank and 2 or 3 bars of the gauge will fl ash.
If the last bar disappears, there are only around 2 litres of fuel in the tank.
"Foot-on-brake" starting warning lamp for (6 speed) Electronic Gearbox System
During the engine starting phase, this fl ashes if you are not pressing the brake pedal.
See "(6 speed) Electronic Gearbox System".
This warning lamp may fl ash in the instrument panel to remind you to apply the brake when engaging reverse gear.
Complementary to the catalytic con-verter, this fi lter makes an active contribution to the preservation of air quality by the retaining of the unburnt pollutant particles. Black exhaust fumes are thus no longer emitted.
Clogging of the particle fi lter
The SERVICE warning lamp and a message in the instrument panel are displayed indicating that the particulate fi lter is starting to become clogged (exceptionally prolonged urban driving conditions: reduced speed, traffi c conges-tion…).
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER SYSTEM
To regenerate the fi lter, you are advised to drive, as soon as traf-fi c conditions permit, at a speed of 60 km/h (40 mph) or more for at least 5 minutes (until the warning message disappears).
If this alert persists, consult a CITROËN dealer.If this alert persists, this alert
Observation: After prolonged idling or driving at very low speeds, you may occasionally notice water vapour being emitted from the exhaust when accelerating. This is of no consequence to the running of the vehicle or to the environment.
Diesel fuel additive level
If the additive level is low, a message appears in the multifunction screen, accompanied by an audible signal and illumination of the SERVICE warning lamp: it is necessary to have the additive level topped up. Contact a CITROËN necessary to have the additive level additive level
dealer as soon as possible.

Air conditioning
At any time of year, the air condition-
ing is useful for removing air humid-
ity and misting.
To keep the air conditioning com-
pressor well sealed, it is essential to
operate the air conditioning at least
once in every month.
To be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the win-
dows closed.
If you are towing a heavy trailer or if
outside temperatures are very high,
the air conditioning may be tempo-
rarily interrupted in favour of engine
cooling.
Sensor
The automatic air conditioning inside the passenger compartment makes use of the sunlight sensor, which is located on the dashboard behind the instrument panel.
Take care not to obstruct it.
Water arising from condensation
in the air conditioning is allowed to
drain out through an aperture pro-
vided for this purpose; a pool of
water may thus form beneath the
vehicle when stationary.
You are recommended to have the
air conditioning system checked on
a regular basis (see Maintenance
Guide).
The air conditioning uses energy
from the engine to operate. This
results in extra fuel consumption

- It lights up if the doors are locked and the ignition is switched on.
- It goes out if the doors are not locked.
DOORSNote: Control B is inactive if the vehicle has been locked with the remote control or with the key.
Personal security
When the vehicle is started, the system automatically locks the doors and tailgate as soon as you reach a speed of approx. 10 km/h (6 mph).
Note: If a door is opened, this door will automatically relock as soon as the vehicle reaches approx. 6 mph.
Activation/Deactivation of the function
After switching on the ignition, give a long press on the central unlocking button until a message is displayed.
This allows from the front, deactivation of the opening of the rear doors and the use of the rear windows.
It is activated by means of a press on control A located on the electric windows control panel. The warning lamp in the instrument panel lights up for approx. 10 seconds.
Each time the ignition is switched on, the warning lamp comes on for approx. 10 seconds.
