Ease of use and comfort
Wireless smartphone
charger




It allows wireless charging of a portable device
such as a smartphone, using the magnetic
induction principle, in accordance with the Qi 1.1
standard.
The portable device to be charged must be
compatible with the Qi standard, either by design
or by using a compatible holder or shell.
The charging area is identified by the Qi symbol.
The charger works with the engine running and
with the Stop & Start system in STOP mode.
Charging is managed by the smartphone.
With the Keyless Entry and Starting system, the
charger’s operation may be briefly disrupted
when a door is opened or the ignition is switched
off.
Charging
► With the charging area clear, place a device
in its centre.

Glove box
► To open the glove box, lift the handle.
With the ignition on, the glove box is lit when
open.
It houses the front passenger airbag deactivation
switch.
Never drive with the glove box open
when a passenger is at the front. It may
cause injury during sharp deceleration!
Cigarette lighter/12 V
accessory socket(s)




► To use the cigarette lighter, press it in and
wait a few seconds until it pops out automatically.
►
T
o use a 12 V accessory (max. power:
120
W), remove the cigarette lighter and connect
a suitable adaptor.
You can use this socket to connect a telephone
charger, a bottle warmer, etc.
After use, put the cigarette lighter back into place
straight away.
The connection of an electrical device not approved by CITROËN, such as a
USB charger, may adversely affect the
operation of vehicle electrical systems,
causing faults such as poor radio reception or
interference with displays in the screens.
USB sockets

They allow the connection of a portable device in
order to recharge it.
The front USB socket also allows a smartphone to be connected by
Android Auto
® , or CarPlay®, enabling certain
smartphone applications to be used on the touch
screen.
For best results, use a cable made or approved
by the device manufacturer.
These applications can be managed using the
steering-mounted controls or the audio system
controls.
When the USB port is used, the portable
device charges automatically.
While charging, a message is displayed if the
power drawn by the portable device exceeds
the current supplied by the vehicle.
For more information on how to use this
equipment, refer to the Audio equipment
and telematics section .

audible signal and the display of a message.
►

Reduce speed immediately
, avoid excessive
steering movements and avoid sudden braking.
►

Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.
The loss of pressure detected does not always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
►

Using a compressor
, such as the one in
the temporary puncture repair kit, check the
pressures of the four tyres when cold.
►

If it is not possible to make this check
immediately

, drive carefully at reduced speed.
►

In the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel
(depending on equipment).
The alert is kept active until the system is reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
Reinitialise the system after adjusting one or
more tyre pressures and after changing one or
more wheels.


Before reinitialising the system, make
sure that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and conform to the values written on
the tyre pressure label.
Check the pressures of the four tyres before
performing the reinitialisation.
The system does not advise if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
With the vehicle stationary, the system is
reinitialised via the Driving/Vehicle menu
of the touch screen.
►

In this menu, select the "
Driving functions"
tab.
►

In the page, select the "

Under-inflation
initialisation " function.
►

Driving and manoeuvring
aids - General
recommendations
Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must comply with the Highway
Code, must remain in control of the vehicle in
all circumstances and must be able to retake
control of it at all times. The driver must adapt
the speed to climactic conditions, traffic and
the state of the road.
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly
check the traffic, to assess the relative
distances and speeds of other vehicles and to
anticipate their movements before indicating
and changing lane.
The systems cannot exceed the limits of the
laws of physics.
Driving aids
You should hold the steering wheel
with both hands, always use the interior and
exterior rear view mirrors, always keep the
feet close to the pedals and take a break
every two hours.
Manoeuvring aids
The driver must always check the
surroundings of the vehicle before and during
the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the
mirrors.
Radar
The operation of the radar as well as the
associated functions may be impaired through
the accumulation of dirt (mud, frost, etc.), in
certain difficult weather conditions (very heavy
rain, snow) or if the bumper is damaged.

In the event of a breakdown
► Stop all power consumption.
► Immobilise the vehicle and switch the ignition
off.
►

Identify the defective fuse using the current
allocation tables and diagrams.
T

o replace a fuse, it is essential to:
►

Use the special tweezers to extract the fuse
from its housing and check the condition of its
filament.
►


Always replace the failed fuse with a fuse of
the same rating (same colour); use of a different
rating may cause malfunctions - risk of fire!
If the fault recurs after replacing a fuse, have the
electrical system checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
The fuse allocation tables and the corresponding diagrams are available
from a CITROËN dealer or from a qualified
workshop.
The replacement of a fuse not shown in the allocation tables may cause a serious
malfunction of your vehicle. Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
