Motorised tailgate
General points
The motorised tailgate must only be operated
with the vehicle stationary.
Check that there is enough space to allow for
the movement of the motorised tailgate.
Never introduce a
finger in the locking
system of the motorised tailgate – Risk of
a


serious injury!
Safety anti-pinch
The motorised tailgate has an obstacle
detection system that automatically interrupts
and reverses its movement by a few degrees to
allow the obstacle to be cleared.
Please note that this anti-pinch system is not
active at the end of the closing travel (around
1


cm from completely closed).

Lighting control stalk
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is
normal; it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a few minutes.
If one or more lamps fails, a message
asks you to check the lamp or lamps
concerned.
Driving abroad
Halogen headlamps
If planning to use your vehicle in a
country
that drives on the other side of the road,
the dipped beam headlamps must be
adjusted to avoid dazzling on-coming
drivers. Contact a
CITROËN dealer or
qualified workshop.
Xenon headlamps
The design of the dipped beam headlamps
allows, without modification, driving in
a
country that drives on the other side
of the road to the country in which your
vehicle was sold.

In good or rainy weather, by both day
and night, the front foglamps and the
rear foglamps are prohibited. In these
situations, the power of their beams may
dazzle other drivers. They should only be
used in fog or falling snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility to switch on the foglamps
and dipped headlamps manually as the
sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light.
Switch off the front and rear foglamps
when they are no longer necessary.
Switching off of the lighting when the
ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of the
lighting turns off immediately, except for
dipped beam headlamps if automatic
guide-me-home lighting is activated.Switching on the lighting after the
ignition is switched off
To reactivate the lighting control stalk,
rotate ring A to the 0
position – lamps off,
then to the desired position.
On opening the driver's door a
temporary
audible signal warns the driver that the
lighting is on.
It will go off automatically after a

When the ring is at the "AUTO" position and
a
low level of ambient light is detected by the
sunshine sensor, the number plate lamps,
sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are
switched on automatically, without any action
on the part of the driver. They can also come
on if rain is detected, at the same time as
automatic operation of the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to
a
sufficient level or after the windscreen wipers
are switched off, the lamps are switched off
automatically.Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the
s unshine sensor, the lighting comes
on, this warning lamp is displayed in
the instrument panel accompanied
by an audible signal and/or
a


message.
Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor may
detect sufficient light. In this case, the
lighting will not come on automatically.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor,
integrated with the rain sensor and located
at the top of the windscreen behind the
rear view mirror; the associated functions
would no longer be controlled.
Front daytime running

qualified workshop. Do not cover the rain sensor, combined
with the sunshine sensor and located at
the top centre of the windscreen, behind
the rear view mirror.
Switch off the automatic rain sensitive
wipers when using an automatic car wash.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)/
Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Operation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of
a problem with grip or trajectory.
Deactivation of the ASR
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
w hich is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR system, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip. F

I
n the Driving
menu, select the " Driving
functions " tab, then " Traction control".
Deactivation is confirmed by the display of
a

message.
The ASR system no longer acts on the
operation of the engine or the brakes in the
event of an involuntary change of trajectory.
Reactivation of the ASR
The system is reactivated automatically every
time the ignition is switched back on or from
31
mph (50 km/h).
Below 31
mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate it
manually:
F

I
n the Driving menu, select the " Driving
functions " tab, then " Traction control".
Operating fault
The illumination of this warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible
signal and a
message, indicates that
there is a
fault with these systems. ASR/DSC
These systems offer increased safety
in normal driving, but they should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain,
snow, ice) that the risk of loss of grip
increases. It is therefore important for your
safety to keep these systems activated in
all conditions, and particularly in difficult
conditions.
The correct operation of these systems
depends on observation of the
manufacturer's recommendations, not
only about the wheels (tyres and rims),
braking and electronic components but
also the assembly and repair procedures
used by CITROËN dealers.
To benefit in full from the effectiveness
of these systems in wintry conditions,
the vehicle must be fitted with four snow
tyres, allowing the vehicle to retain neutral
behaviour on the road.
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument
panel. Reactivate the system when grip conditions
allow.
Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the systems checked.
