FAMILIARISATION
EXTERIOR


Stop & Start

This system puts the engine tempo-
rarily into standby during stops in the
traffi c (red lights, traffi c jams, etc...).
The engine restarts automatically as
soon as you want to move off.
Stop & Start reduces fuel consump-
tion, exhaust emissions and noise
when stationary.

Lane departure warning system


This driving aid warns you when you
unwittingly cross a lane marking.

Parking sensors (visual and
audible)

This system warns you if an obstacle
is detected in front of or behind the
vehicle.
Tyre under-infl ation detection

This system checks the pressure
of the tyres automatically while
driving.
Xenon dual-function directional
headlamps

This system automatically provides
you with extra visibility on bends.
This lighting is linked with the cor-
nering lighting which maximises the
illuminated area at intersections and
when parking.

FAMILIARISATION

Electric parking brake

Never leave a child alone inside
the vehicle with the ignition
on, as they could release the
parking brake.

Hill start assist


Manual operation
The MANUAL application/release of
the parking brake is always possible
by pulling/pushing the control lever B
,
keeping your foot on the brake pedal.
Before leaving the ve-
hicle, check that warn-
ing lamp A (!)
(red) in
the instrument panel is
on fi xed (not fl ashing) and that warn-
ing lamp P
(red) in the control lever B

is on.
If you leave the vehicle with the
engine still running, apply the
parking brake manually. Do not leave the vehicle while
it is being held in the temporary
immobilisation hill start assist
phase.
To aid starting on a gradient, your vehicle is equipped with a system which keeps
it immobilised for a short time (about
2 seconds), the approximate time it
takes to move your foot from the brake
pedal to the accelerator pedal.
This system is only active when:


-
The vehicle is completely stationary,
with your foot on the brake pedal.

- In certain conditions on a gradient.

- With the driver’s door closed. Before leaving the ve-
hicle, check that warn-
ing lamp A (!)
(red) in
the instrument panel is
on fi xed (not fl ashing) and that warn-
ing lamp P
(red) in the control lever B

is on.
Automatic operation
The electric parking brake releases
automatically and progressively when
you press the accelerator. With the
vehicle stationary, the parking brake
is automatically applied when the
engine is switched off.

Limit the causes of excess
consumption

Spread loads throughout the vehicle;
place the heaviest items in the bottom
of the boot, as close as possible to the
rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle
and reduce wind resistance (roof bars,
roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use
a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after
use.

At the end of winter, remove snow
tyres and refi t your summer tyres.



Observe the recommendations
on maintenance

Check the tyre pressures regularly,
when cold, referring to the label in the
door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the
tyres on any trailer or caravan.

Have your vehicle serviced regularly
(engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and
observe the schedule of operations
recommended by the manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overfl ow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle,
it is only after the fi rst 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see
the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.

Service indicator zero reset
After each service, the service indi-
cator must be reset to zero.
The procedure for resetting to zero
is as follows:


)
switch off the ignition,

)
press and hold the trip distance
recorder zero reset button,

)
switch on the ignition; the dis-
tance recorder display begins a
countdown,

)
when the display indicates "=0"
,
release the button; the spanner
disappears.
Following this operation, if you wish
to disconnect the battery, lock the
vehicle and wait at least fi ve minutes
for the zero reset to be taken into
account.
















Engine oil level indicator

System which informs the driver
whether the engine oil level is correct
or not.
This information is indicated for a
few seconds when the ignition is
switched on, after the service infor-
mation.
The level read will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for more
than 15 minutes.

Oil level correct

Oil level incorrect
This is indicated by displaying of the
message "Oil level incorrect".
If the low oil level is confi rmed by a
check using the dipstick, it is essen-
tial that the level is topped up to pre-
vent damage to the engine.
Oil level gauge fault
This is indicated by displaying of the
message "Oil level measurement in-
valid". Contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

MONITORING















Engine oil temperature gauge

Under normal operating conditions,
the bars should be within section 1
.
In severe operating conditions, the
bars may extend into section 2
.

In this event, slow down, and if neces-
sary, stop the engine and check the
levels (see corresponding section).


Coolant temperature gauge

Under normal operating conditions,
the bars should be within section 1
.

In severe operating conditions, the
bars may extend into section 2
, the
engine coolant temperature warning
lamp A
and the STOP
warning lamp
come on, stop as soon as it is safe
to do so
. Switch off the ignition. The
cooling fan may continue to oper-
ate for a certain time
.

Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.

If the SERVICE
warning lamp comes on, check the levels (see corre-
sponding chapter). On horizontal ground, illumination of
the fuel low warning lamp indicates
that you are at the reserve level.
An alert message is displayed in the
instrument panel.

COMFORT

Air conditioning

We recommend use of the automatic
regulation of the air conditioning.
It permits automatic and optimised
control of all of the following functions:
air fl ow, temperature in the passenger
compartment and air distribution, by
means of various sensors (ambient
temperature, sunshine). This elimi-
nates any need for you to change
your settings other than the tempera-
ture value displayed.


)
Take care not to cover the sun-
shine sensor A
.
If you select the automatic mode
(by pressing the "AUTO" control)
and leave all of the vents open, opti-
mum comfort will be maintained and
humidity and condensation will be
removed regardless of the exterior
climatic conditions.
The temperature in the passenger
compartment can only be lower than
the ambient temperature if the air
conditioning is on.














HEATING, VENTILATION
AND AIR CONDITIONING
RECOMMENDATIONS In order to be effective, the air
conditioning must be used with the
windows closed. If the vehicle has
been parked in the sun for a long
period and the interior tempera-
ture is very high, fi rst ventilate the
passenger compartment with the
windows open for a few minutes,
then close the windows.
To keep the air conditioning system
in good working order it is essential
that it is operated at least once a
month.
The air conditioning uses engine
power during its operation. As a
result, the fuel consumption of the
vehicle increases.
In certain cases of particularly ardu-
ous use (e.g. towing the maximum
load on a steep gradient in high
temperatures), switching off the air
conditioning saves engine power
and improves the towing capacity.


Air inlet

Check that the exterior grille for the
air inlet, at the bottom of the wind-
screen, is clean and free of dead
leaves, snow, etc.
When washing the vehicle using a
high pressure nozzle, avoid spraying
at the air inlet.


Air circulation

Maximum comfort is obtained by
means of a good distribution of air in
the passenger compartment, both in
the front and in the rear.
To obtain a uniform distribution of
air, take care not to block the ex-
terior air intake grille located at the
base of the windscreen, the vents,
the air outlets under the front seats
and the air extractor located behind
the fl aps in the boot.
The front and rear vents are fi tted
with thumbwheels to adjust the air
fl ow and direction. We recommend
that you leave all of the vents open.


Dust filter/Odour filter
(active carbon)
There is a fi lter for excluding odours
and dust.
This fi lter must be changed in line
with the vehicle’s servicing schedule
(see the vehicle’s servicing booklet).
