Interior mirror
Adjustable mirror providing a central
rearward view.
Manual model
The mirror is fi tted with a night-time
anti-dazzle device.
Adjustment

 Adjust the mirror so that the
glass is directed correctly in the
"day" position.
Day/night position

 Pull the lever to change to the
"night" anti-dazzle position.

 Push the lever to change to the
normal "day" position. In order to prevent dazzle, the inte-
rior mirror glass darkens automati-
cally in relation to the intensity of the
light from the rear.
It lightens when the light (light beam
of following vehicles, sun...) de-
creases, so guaranteeing optimum
visibility.
Switching on

 Switch on the ignition and press
switch 1 .
The indicator light 2 comes on and
the mirror operates automatically.
Switching off

 Press switch 1 .
The indicator light 2 switches off and
the mirror remains in its lightest state.
In order to guarantee optimum vis-
ibility during your manoeuvres, the
mirror lightens automatically when
reverse gear is engaged.

ing wheel can be adjusted to adapt
the driving position to the size of the
driver.
Adjustment

 First, adjust the driver’s seat to
the most suitable position.

 When stationary
,stationarystationary pull the con-
trol to unlock the steering wheel.

 Adjust the height and depth.

 Push the control to lock the
steering wheel.

DIRECTION INDICATORS

 Lower the lights stalk fully when
moving to the left.

 Raise the lights stalk fully when
moving to the right.
HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS
A visual warning by means of the di-
rection indicators to alert other road
users to a vehicle breakdown, tow-
ing or accident.
Automatic lighting of hazard
warning lights
When braking in an emergency,
depending on the deceleration, the
hazard warning lights come on.
They will switch off automatically the
fi rst time you accelerate.

 If they do not, press button A to
switch the direction indicators off. HORN
Audible warning system to alert other
road users to an imminent danger.
Selection of the left or right direction
indicators to signal a change of direc-
tion of the vehicle.

 Press button A , the direction indi-
cators fl ash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
As a safety precaution in a traffi c
jam, switch on the hazard warn-
ing lights if you are the last in the
queue.
 Press at the lower part of the
fi xed centred controls steering
wheel.
Use the horn exclusively and mod-
erately in the following cases:
- immediate danger,

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
Sensors fi tted in each valve check
the tyre pressure during driving and
trigger a warning in the event of
malfunction (speed above 12 mph
(20 km/h)).
Flat tyre The tyre under-infl ation detection
system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the need for the
driver to be vigilant or to drive re-
sponsibly. Puncture
The service warning light
comes on on the instru-
ment panel, accompanied
by an audible signal and
a message on the multi-
function display locating
the wheel concerned.
Check the tyre pressures as soon as
possible. This check must be carried
out when the tyres are cold. The
STOP warning light
comes on on the instru-
ment panel, accompanied
by an audible signal and
a message on the multi-
function display locating
the wheel concerned.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.
Change the damaged wheel (punctured
or very defl ated tyre), and have the tyre
pressure checked as soon as possible.
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
The service warning light
comes on on the instru-
ment panel, accompa-
nied by an audible signal
and a message on the
multifunction display lo-
cating the wheel or wheels which
are not detected or indicating a fault
in the system.
Have the faulty sensor(s) checked
by a CITROËN dealer. All repairs and changing of tyres
on a wheel fi tted with this system
must be carried out by a CITROËN
dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you in-
stall a wheel which is not detected
by your vehicle (example: fi tting
of snow tyres), you must have the
system reinitialised by a CITROËN
dealer.
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pres-
sure checked regularly (refer to the
"Technical data - § Identifi cation
features" section) to ensure that
the optimum dynamic perform-
ance of the vehicle is maintained
and prevent premature wear of the
tyres, particularly in arduous driv-
ing conditions (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 detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to radioelectric
emissions on a frequency close to
that used by the system.
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.
The spare wheel is not fi tted with a
sensor.

BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems
which help you to obtain optimum
braking in complete safety in emer-
gency situations:
- the anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- the electronic brake force distri- bution (EBFD),
- the emergency braking assist- ance (EBA).
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the
stability and manoeuvrability of your
vehicle when braking, in particular
on poor or slippery surfaces.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibration of
the brake pedal. Operating fault
When braking in an emergency,
press very fi rmly without releasing
the pressure. If this warning light comes
on, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message
on the multi-function display,
it indicates a malfunction of the anti-
lock braking system which could re-
sult in loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
If this warning light comes on,
together with the STOP and

ABS warning lights, accom-
panied by an audible signal
and a message on the multifunction
display, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution
which could result in loss of control of
the vehicle when braking.

You MUST stop as soon as it is
safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a CITROËN
dealer.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to
the manufacturer's recommenda-
tions. Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency,
enables you to obtain the optimum
braking pressure more quickly, thus
reducing the stopping distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in
the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking effi ciency.
When braking in an emergency,
press fi rmly without releasing the
pressure.
