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.
In order to guarantee optimum visi-
bility during your manoeuvres, the
mirror lightens automatically when
reverse gear is engaged.
STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
The height and reach of the steering
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 , pull the control
to unlock the steering wheel.

 Adjust the height and reach.

 Push the control to lock the
steering wheel.
After locking, if you press fi rmly on
the steering wheel, a slight click may
be heard.
As a safety precaution, the mirrors
must be adjusted to reduce the
"blind spot". Automatic day/night model
System which automatically and
progressively changes between the
day and night uses.
As a safety precaution, it is impera-
tive that these operations are carried
out while the vehicle is stationary.

vehicle, the orange and red warning
lamps should also come on for a short
time.
3. "D": Starter
Release the key as soon the engine
has started.
If the fi rst attempt fails, switch off the
ignition. Wait ten seconds then operate
the starter again. Steering lock

1. "
S": After removing the key, turn
the steering wheel to lock the
steering. The key can only be re-
moved in position S .

2. "M": Ignition switched on, the
steering is unlocked (by turning
the key to position M , move the
steering wheel gently if neces-
sary).

3. "D": Starter position.
Key left in position "M" buzzer
If you forget to remove the key from
the ignition, the ignition is switched
off automatically after one hour.
To switch the ignition back on, turn
the key to position S then back to
position M .

Do not run the engine in an en-
closed space or where there is
insuffi cient ventilation
.

It is essential always to keep the
engine running in order to re-
tain braking and steering power
assistance.

Never remove the ignition key
before the vehicle has come to a
complete stop.
STOPPING
Vehicles equipped with a
turbocharger
Never stop the engine without having
allowed it to run for a few seconds
at idle, this being the time required
for the turbocharger to return to a
normal speed.
Flicking the accelerator at the mo-
ment of switching off the ignition
could cause serious damage.
A heavy object (key fob...), attached
to the key and weighing down on
its shaft in the ignition switch, could
cause a malfunction.

DIRECTION INDICATORS

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

 Raise the lighting stalk fully when
moving to the right.
HAZARD WARNING LAMPS
A visual warning by means of the di-
rection indicators to alert other road
users to a vehicle breakdown, towing
or accident.
Automatic lighting of hazard
warning lamps
When braking in an emergency,
depending on the deceleration, the
hazard warning lamps 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
Selection of the left or right direction
indicators to signal a change of di-
rection of the vehicle.

 Press the button A , the direction
indicators fl ash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
As a safety precaution in a traffi c jam,
switch on the hazard warning lamps
if you are the last in the queue. Audible warning system to alert other
road users to an imminent danger.

 Press at the lower part of the
fi xed centred controls steering
wheel.
Use the horn moderately and only
in the following circumstances:
- immediate danger,
- approaching a location lacking visibility.

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 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.
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
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
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
markings" 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 radio-electric
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:
- anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
- emergency braking assistance (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 lamp comes
on, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message
on the multifunction screen,
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 lamp comes on,
together with the STOP and

ABS warning lamps, accom-
panied by an audible signal
and a message on the multifunction
screen, 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 either case, contact a CITROËN
dealer.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations. 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.
