Dual-zone automatic air
conditioning
The air conditioning operates with the engine
running, but the ventilation and its controls are
available with the ignition on.
Operation of the air conditioning and regulation
of temperature, air flow and air distribution in
the passenger compartment are automatic.
Press the button for the Air Conditioning
menu to display the page of controls for the air
conditioning system.
Temperature adjustment
The driver and front passenger can each set
the temperature independently of one another.
F

or increase (red) the value.
The value indicated corresponds to a
level of
comfort and not to a
precise temperature.
It is recommended that you avoid a
difference
of more than 3

Air flow adjustment
F Press one of the buttons 2 ( - or +) to
decrease or increase the speed of the fan.
The air flow symbol (a fan) is filled in
progressively as the speed of the fan is
increased.
By reducing the air flow to minimum, you are
stopping ventilation.
" - - - " is displayed.
Avoid driving too long without ventilation
– risk of misting and deterioration of air
quality!
Air distribution adjustment
You can vary the air distribution in the
passenger compartment using the buttons 3 .

Mode AUTO
F Press button 5 to activate/deactivate the air
conditioning system.
When the indicator lamp is on, the air
conditioning function is activated.
The air conditioning does not operate when
the air flow adjustment is inhibited.
To obtain cool air more quickly, you can
use recirculation of the interior air for a
few
moments. Then return to the intake of
exterior air.
Switching off the air conditioning may result
in some discomfort (humidity, condensation).
Automatic comfort
programme
F Press the " AUTO" button 6 to activate or
deactivate the automatic mode of the air
conditioning system.
The air conditioning system operates
automatically: the system manages the
temperature, air flow and air distribution in the
passenger compartment in an optimum way
according to the comfort level you have selected.
F Go to the secondary page by pressing button 8 " OPTIONS " to adjust the automatic
comfort programme by choosing one of the
available settings. F

T
o change the current setting,
press the button several times
in succession to access the
desired mode:
" Soft ": provides soft and quiet operation by
limiting air flow.
" Normal ": offers the best compromise between
a

comfortable temperature and quiet operation
(default setting).
" Fast ": provides strong and effective air flow.
This setting is associated with AUTO mode
only. However, on deactivation of AUTO mode,
the last selected setting remains.
Changing the setting does not reactivate AUTO
mode if deactivated.
In cold weather with the engine cold, the
air flow is increased gradually until the
comfort setting has been reached, in order
to limit the delivery of cold air into the
passenger compartment.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer
than the comfort setting requested, there
is no need to alter the value displayed in
order to reach more quickly the required
level of comfort. The system automatically
corrects the temperature difference as
quickly as possible. You can always choose to change a
setting
manually. In this case, the automatic comfort
programme is deactivated.
F

of your vehicle. This function does not activate the air
conditioning.
You can make use of the residual heat in the
engine to warm the passenger compartment
using the temperature setting buttons.
Recirculation of interior air
The intake of exterior air helps avoid and
eliminate misting of the windscreen and side
windows.
Recirculation of the interior air isolates the
passenger compartment from exterior odours
and fumes.
When required, this function can also be
used to speed up the heating or cooling of
the passenger compartment.
F

P

or to permit the intake of outside air.
When the indicator lamp is on, the air
recirculation function is activated, the intake of
exterior air is inhibited.
Avoid the prolonged use of interior
air recirculation – Risk of misting and
deterioration of air quality!

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

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.

Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
These systems improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contribute towards improved control in
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The EBFD system manages the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by
a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and
an increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
This system (also known as Traction Control)
optimises traction in order to limit wheel slip by
acting on the brakes of the driving wheels and
on the engine. It also improves the directional
stability of the vehicle on acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
f ollowed by the vehicle and that required by
the driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
Intelligent traction control
( " Snow motion ")
Depending on version, your vehicle has
a
system to help driving on snow: intelligent
traction control.
This system detects situations of poor sur face
grip that could make it difficult to move off
or make progress on deep fresh snow or
compacted snow.
In these situations, the intelligent traction
control limits the amount of wheel spin to
provide the best traction and trajectory control
for your vehicle.
The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on sur faces offering low
levels of grip.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
When lit up continuously, this
warning lamp indicates a fault with
the ABS.
If this warning lamp comes on, in
conjunction with the STOP and ABS
warning lamps, an audible signal
and a
message, it means that the
electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD) is defective.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at moderate speed.
You must stop the vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.
In both cases, have the system checked by
a

CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
When operating under normal conditions,
the ABS may cause the brake pedal to
vibrate slightly.
