Adjustment
With the ignition on:
move control A to the right or to
the left to select the correspond-
ing mirror,
move control B in one of four
directions to adjust,
return control A to the central
position. The objects observed are, in reality,
closer than they appear.
Take this into account in order to
correctly judge the distance of
vehicles approaching from behind.
Folding
from outside: lock the vehicle
using the remote control or the
key.
from inside: with the ignition on,
pull control A rearwards.
If the mirrors are folded using
control A , they will not unfold when
the vehicle is unlocked. Pull again
on control A .
Unfolding
from outside: unlock the vehicle
using the remote control or the
key.
from inside: with the ignition on,
pull control A rearwards.
The folding and unfolding of the exte-
rior mirrors using the remote control

LIGHTING CONTROLS
System for selection and control of
the various front and rear lamps pro-
viding the vehicle's lighting.
Main lighting
The various front and rear lamps of
the vehicle are designed to adapt
the driver's visibility progressively in
relation to the climatic conditions:
- sidelamps, to be seen,
- dipped headlamps to see with-out dazzling other drivers,
- main beam headlamps to see clearly when the road is clear,
- directional headlamps for im- proved visibility when cornering.
Additional lighting

quirements of particular driving con-
ditions:
- a rear foglamp to be seen from a distance,
- front foglamps for even better forward vision,
- daytime running lamps to be seen during the day. Programming
Various automatic lighting control
modes are also available depending
on options:
- guide-me-home lighting,
- automatic lighting,
- directional lighting.

Model with rear foglamp only
Model with front and rear
foglamps In good or rainy weather, both day
and night, the front foglamps and
the rear foglamp are prohibited. In
these situations, the power of their
beams may dazzle other drivers.
They should only be used in fog or
snow.
In these weather conditions, it is
your responsibility to switch on the
foglamps and dipped headlamps
manually as the brightness sensor
m a y d e t e c t s u f fi c i e n t l i g h t .
Do not forget to switch off the front
foglamps and the rear foglamp when
they are no longer necessary.
Lighting on buzzer
The triggering of an audible signal
when a front door is opened warns
the driver that he has forgotten to
switch off his vehicle's lamps, with
the ignition off and in manual light-
ing mode.
In this case, switching off the lamps
stops the audible signal.
With the ignition off, if the dipped
headlamps remain on, they will
switch off automatically after thirty
minutes to prevent discharging of
the battery.

system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the vigilance or
responsibility of the driver. Puncture
The service warning lamp
comes on in the instru-
ment panel, accompanied
by an audible signal and
a message on the multi-
function screen 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 lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and a mes-
sage on the multifunction
screen locating the wheel
concerned.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden
movement of the steering wheel and
the brakes.

Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
The service warning
lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, ac-
companied by an audible
signal and a message on
the multifunction screen
locating 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
o n a w h e e l fi t t e d w i t h t h i s s y s t e m
must be carried out by a CITROËN
dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you in-
stall a wheel which is not detected
b y y o u r v e h i c l e ( e x a m p l e : fi t t i n g
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
" T e c h n i c a l d a t a - § I d e n t i fi c a t i o n
features" section) to ensure that
the optimum dynamic perfor mance
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.

TRAJECTORY CONTROL SYSTEMS
Anti-skid regulation (ASR) and
electronic stability programme
(ESP)
The anti-skid regulation (also known
as Traction Control) optimises trac-
tion to prevent skidding of the wheels,
by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability programme
acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to keep
the vehicle on the trajectory required
by the driver.
Activation
These systems are activated auto-
matically each time the vehicle is
started.
They come into operation in the event
of a grip or trajectory problem. T h i s i s i n d i c a t e d b y fl a s h i n g
of this warning lamp on the
instrument panel. Deactivation
I n e x c e p t i o n a l c o n d i t i o n s ( s t a r t i n g a
vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground...), it may be
advisable to deactivate the ASR and
ESP systems, so that the wheels
can move freely and regain grip.
Press the "ESP OFF" button,
located in the centre of the dash-
board. Reactivation
These systems are reactivated au-
tomatically each time the ignition is
switched back on or from 30 mph
(50 km/h).
Press the "ESP OFF" button again
to reactivate them manually.
If this warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel
and the indicator lamp on the
button comes on, this indi-
cates that the ASR and ESP
systems are deactivated. Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message
on the multifunction screen,
this indicates a malfunction of these
systems.
Have the systems checked by a
CITROËN dealer.

ceptional safety in normal driving,
but this should not encourage the

The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation
of the manufacturer's recommen-
dations regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and the
CITROËN assembly and operation
procedures.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer.

Side airbags *
System which protects the driver
and front passenger in the event of
a serious side impact in order to limit
the risk of injury to the chest.
Each side airbag is incorporated in
the front seat back frame, on the
door side.
Operation
It is triggered unilaterally in the
event of a serious side impact ap-
plied to all or part of the side impact
zone
B , perpendicular to the longi-
tudinal centreline of the vehicle on
a horizontal plane and directed from
the outside towards the inside of the
vehicle.

System which protects the driver
a n d p a s s e n g e r s ( w i t h t h e e x c e p t i o n
of the rear centre passenger) in the
event of a serious side impact in or-
der to limit the risk of head injuries.
Each curtain airbag is incorporated
in the pillars and the upper part of
the passenger compartment. Operation
It is triggered at the same time as the
corresponding side airbag in the event
of a serious side impact applied to all or
part of the side impact zone
B , perpen-
dicular to the longitudinal centreline of
the vehicle on a horizontal plane and
directed from the outside towards the
inside of the vehicle.

In the event of a minor impact or
bump on the side of the vehicle or
if the vehicle rolls over, the airbag
may not be triggered.
The airbag is not triggered in the
event of a rear or front collision.
Operating fault If this warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on
the multifunction screen, contact
a CITROËN dealer to have the
system checked. The airbags may
no longer be triggered in the event
of a serious impact.

Dynamic emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the ve-
hicle’s main braking system or in
an exceptional situation (e.g. driver
taken ill, under instruction, etc) a
continuous pull on control A will stop
the vehicle.
The electronic stability programme
(ESP) provides stability during dy-
namic emergency braking.
If the dynamic emergency braking
malfunctions, one of the following
messages will be displayed on the
m u l t i f u n c t i o n s c r e e n :
- "Parking brake faulty".
- "Parking control faulty". If a failure of the ESP sys-
tem is signalled by the ligh-
ting of this warning lamp,
then braking stability is not
guaranteed. In this event, stability
must be assured by the driver by
repeating alternate "pull release" ac-
tions on control A .
The dynamic emergency
braking must only be used in
exceptional circumstances.
