Reinitialising the remote control
If the vehicle's battery is disconnected or the
remote control's battery is replaced, the remote
control must be reinitialised.
After switching on the power, press button 4
(OFF) for 1 second within the next 5 seconds.
If the operation has taken place correctly the
message "OK" is displayed on the remote
control screen.
If a problem occurs, the message " F A I L"
appears. Repeat the operation. Always switch off the programmable
heating while filling with fuel to avoid
any risk of fire or explosion.
To avoid any risk of poisoning and
asphyxiation, the programmable
heating must not be used, even for
short periods, in an enclosed space
such as a garage or workshop which
is not equipped with an exhaust gas
extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on an
inflammable sur face (dry grass, dead
leaves, paper…), there is a risk of fire.
The programmable heating system
is supplied by the vehicle's fuel tank.
Before use, ensure that the quantity
of fuel remaining is sufficient. If the
fuel tank is at the reserve, we strongly
advise that you do not programme the
heating.
The interior volumetric protection alarm
movement sensor may be disturbed by
the flow of air from the programmable
heating when it is in operation.
To avoid any unexpected triggering
of the alarm during use of the
programmable heating, it is advisable
to deactivate the interior volumetric
protection.
An adaptation of your programmable
heating allows you to pre-heat your
vehicle's passenger compartment.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Trajectory control systems
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Activation
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Your vehicle has a system to improve traction
on snow: intelligent traction control
.
This system detects situations of low adhesion
that might make moving off and progress
difficult on deep fresh snow or compacted
snow.
In these situations the intelligent traction
control system regulates the amount of wheel
slip to optimise the traction and trajectory
control of your vehicle.
For vehicles with Hydractive III + suspension,
manual adjustment of ground clearance to
the intermediate position improves further the
ability to make progress in deep snow (see the
relevant paragraph).
The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on sur faces with low adhesion.
The anti-slip regulation (also known as traction
control) optimises traction to prevent skidding
of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the
driving wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability control acts on the
brake of one or more wheels and on the engine
to keep the vehicle on the trajectory required
by the driver, within the limits of the laws of
physics.
Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem.
