Front demist – defrost
Automatic visibility
programme
The automatic visibility programme allows the
windscreen and side windows to be demisted
or defrosted as quickly as possible.F

P
ress this button to activate/
deactivate the function.
When the indicator lamp is on, the function is
activated.
The system automatically manages the air
conditioning (depending on version), air
flow and air intake, and provides optimum
distribution towards the windscreen and side
windows.
The system allows the manual modification of
air flow without causing automatic deactivation
of the automatic visibility programme.
With Stop & Start, when demisting –
defrosting has been activated, STOP
mode is not available. In wintry conditions, remove all snow or
ice on the camera on the windscreen
before moving off.
Other wise, this can affect the function
of the equipment associated with the
camera.
Heated windscreen
In cold weather, this system heats the bottom of
the windscreen, as well as the areas alongside
the windscreen pillars.
Without changing the settings for the air
conditioning system, it allows faster release
of the windscreen wiper blades when they
are frozen to the windscreen and helps avoid
the accumulation of snow resulting from the
operation of the windscreen wipers.
Switching on/off
F With the engine running, press this button to
activate/deactivate the function (confirmed
by the illumination/extinction of the indicator
lamp).
The function is active as soon as the outside
temperature drops below 0°C. It is deactivated
automatically each time the engine is switched

Deployment
* For more information on Deactivating the front passenger airbag , refer to the
corresponding section.
They deploy, except the front passenger airbag
if it is deactivated*, in the event of a
serious
front impact to all or part of the front impact
zone A .
The front airbag inflates between the thorax
and head of the front occupant of the vehicle
and the steering wheel, driver's side, and the
dashboard, passenger's side, to cushion their
for ward movement.
Lateral airbags
At the front
Deployment
They deploy on one side in the event of
a serious side impact applied to all or part of
the side impact zone B .
The lateral airbag inflates between the hip and
shoulder of the vehicle's occupant and the
corresponding door trim panel.
Curtain airbags
System contributing towards greater protection
for the driver and passengers (with the
exception of the rear centre passenger) in the
event of a
serious side impact in order to limit
the risk of injury to the side of the head.
Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and
the upper passenger compartment area.
Deployment
It deploys simultaneously with the
corresponding lateral airbag in the event of
a
serious side impact applied to all or part of
the side impact zone B .
The curtain airbag inflates between the front
and rear occupants of the vehicle and the
corresponding windows.
Malfunction
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, you must contact
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked.
The airbags may no longer be deployed in the
event of a
serious impact.
In the event of a
minor impact or bump on
the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle rolls
over, the airbags may not be deployed.
In the event of a
rear or front collision,
none of the lateral airbags are deployed.
This system protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a

serious side impact to mitigate the risk of injury to the chest,
between the hip and the shoulder.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side.
Safety

105
Children at the rear
At rear seating positions, always leave
sufficient space between the front seat
and:
-
t
he "rear ward facing" child seat,
-

t
he child's feet for a child seat fitted
"forward facing".
To do this, move the front seat for wards
and, if necessary, straighten its backrest.
For optimal installation of the "forward
facing" child seat, verify that its backrest is
as close as possible to the backrest of the
vehicle seat, if possible in contact with it.
A child seat with ISOFIX or i-Size
mountings must never be installed on the
centre rear passenger seat.
Children at the front
Deactivate the front passenger airbag
when a "rear ward facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were deployed. Installing a
booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
We recommend using a
booster seat with
backrest, equipped with a
belt guide at
shoulder level.
Additional protections
To prevent accidental opening of the doors
and rear windows, use the "Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays
of the sun, fit side blinds on the rear
windows.
As a
safety precaution, do not leave:
-

a c
hild or children alone and
unattended in a
vehicle,
-

a c
hild or an animal in a vehicle
which is exposed to the sun, with the
windows closed,
-

t
he keys within reach of children inside
the vehicle.Child seat at the front
When a child seat is installed on the
f ront passenger seat , adjust this seat
to the highest position , in the rearmost
longitudinal position , with the backrest
straightened .
"Rearward facing "
The front passenger airbag must be
deactivated. Otherwise, the child risks
being seriously injured or killed if the
airbag is deployed .
"Forward facing "
You must leave the front passenger airbag
active.

Parking sensors
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
g e a r.
This is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear.
Audible assistance
The function signals the presence of obstacles
present within the vehicle sensors' detection
zone.
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which
increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than about thirty
centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)
allows you to identify the side on which the
obstacle is located.
Adjusting the audible signal
Visual assistance
Using sensors located in the bumper, this
function warns of the proximity of obstacles
(e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) entering
their field of detection.
On versions equipped with
CITROËN Connect Radio, pressing
this button opens the audible signal
volume adjustment window.It supplements the audible signal by displaying
bars on the screen that move progressively
nearer to the vehicle (white: more distant
obstacles; orange: close obstacles; red: very
close obstacles).
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed on the screen.
Front parking sensors
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when an
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the vehicle is still below 6
mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if an obstacle is no longer
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6
mph (10 km/h).
