Lighting is associated
with the displaying of
another warning light:

cates the occurrence of
a problem in one of the
systems which does
not have a specifi c warning light.
In order to identify it, consult the
message on the multifunction dis-
play.
The warning light only comes on
temporarily in the case of the follow-
ing minor faults:
- incorrect closing of the doors, boot, rear screen and bonnet,
- fl at remote control battery,
- incorrect tyre pressure,
- the end of saturation of the parti- cle emission fi lter (Diesel).
In the case of major faults, the
warning light remains on until the
operating fault is rectifi ed, contact
a CITROËN dealer as soon as
possible. Braking
If this comes on, it indicates
the occurrence of a fault in
one of the braking systems:
- signifi cant drop in the level in the circuit,
- electronic brake force distribu- tion (EBFD) faulty (simultane-
ous lighting of the ABS warning
light),
stop the vehicle immediately and as
safely as possible.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.

Application/Release of the
automatic electronic parking
brake If this warning lamp comes
on permanently, it is confi rm-

resent those whose seat belts are
not fastened/unfastened. Seat belts unfastened during the
journey:

position with seat belt unfastened
lights up between 0 and 20 km/h.
Above 20 km/h (approx. 12 mph),
it fl ashes accompanied by an audi-
ble signal for around 120 seconds.
The audible signal stops when the

Air conditioning
To ensure that your system operates
correctly, it is recommended to have
it checked regularly.
Water arising from condensation
in the air conditioning drains away
through a hole provided for this pur-
pose. A pool of water may thus form
under the vehicle when stationary.
To keep the air conditioning com-
pressor well sealed, it is essential to
operate the air conditioning at least
once in every month.
Regardless of the season, the air
conditioning is useful, since it re-
moves humidity and condensation.
To be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the win-
dows closed.
If after a lengthy stop in bright sunlight
the interior temperature is excessive,
air the passenger compartment by
opening the windows for a few mo-
ments, then close them again.
The air conditioning operates by using
power from the engine. This results in
a slight increase in fuel consumption.
Dust filter/Odour filter
(active carbon)
There is a fi lter for excluding odours
and dust.
This fi lter has to be changed in ac-
cordance with the vehicle's servic-
ing schedule (see "Maintenance and
Warranty Guide").
Air circulation
Air vents on the fl oor underneath the
front seats provide enhanced heat-
ing for the rear seat positions; take
care not to obstruct them.
Air vents
The air vents to the face have grilles
and thumbwheels to adjust the air
fl ow and direction (up-down, right-
left).
The automatic regulation of the air
conditioning, inside the cabin, uses
a number of sensors (sunlight sen-
sor, outside temperature sensor...)
that relieve you of the need to make
frequent adjustments outside the
displayed temperature.
Be careful not to obstruct the sun-
light sensor, located on the dash-
board behind the instrument panel.

The air recirculation can also be ac-
cessed by means of a press on the
control, located low down to one side
of the steering wheel (see "§ Fixed
centred controls steering wheel"). 6. Adjustment mode for the
rear passengers
This button decides whether
or not the rear passengers
may use their adjustment
controls.
There are three possible statuses
for this button:

Locking of the rear
passenger controls

Authorisation of the rear
passenger controls

Reduction of the
air fl ow for the rear
passengers
With additional air conditioning, in
cold weather you are advised to
close the supply of air to the rear
passengers (no hot air distribution
possible via these air vents).
The rear passengers can use
their adjustment controls at their
convenience.
The driver imposes his adjustment
on the rear passengers. In this case,
the rear passenger controls are
deactivated. 7. Panel display mode: black

This function turns the dis-
plays and panel backlighting
on or off.
- Function activated, a press on any button will light up the screen
temporarily.
- press on button 7 deactivates
the function, lighting of buttons
and screen is again permanent.
This function optimises notably the
visual comfort for driving at night.
8. Demisting/defrosting of the rear screen
This can only operate when the en-
gine is running.

 Press on button 8 to activate/
deactivate the electric demist-
ing/defrosting of the rear screen

to prevent excessive con-
sumption of power.
Whilst retaining the other adjust-
ments, this position enables the
driver at any time to exclude any dis-
agreeable odours or fumes coming
from outside the vehicle. It should
be cancelled as soon as possible to
permit renewal of cabin air and to
prevent misting.
