By means of a sensor, which measures the
light from the rear of the vehicle, this system
automatically and progressively changes
between the day and night uses. Adjustable mirror providing a central rear ward
view.
Equipped with an anti-dazzle system, which
darkens the mirror glass and reduces the
nuisance to the driver caused by the sun,
headlamps from other vehicles...
Rear view mirror
In order to ensure optimum visibility
during your manoeuvres, the mirror
lightens automatically when reverse
gear is engaged.

A few driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations at all times and remain vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your hands on the wheel so that you are ready to react at
any time to any eventuality.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate the need to brake and increase the distance from
other vehicles.
driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.-
c heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves
that might be generated by other users,
-

d
eactivate the Stop & Start system,
-

d
rive as slowly as possible without stalling.
In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph
(10 km/h),
-

d
o not stop and do not switch off the
engine.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake
applied - Risk of overheating and
damage to the braking system!
Do not park or run the engine when
stationary in areas where inflammable
substances and materials (dry grass,
dead leaves...) might come into contact
with the hot exhaust system - Risk of
fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised
with the engine running. If you have
to leave your vehicle with the engine
running, apply the parking brake
and put the gearbox into neutral or
position


N or P, depending on the type
of gearbox.
If you are obliged to drive through
water:
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

message is displayed if the parking brake has
not been applied, unless the selector lever is
in position P (Park) in the case of an automatic
gearbox. Maximum application is essential:
-

i
n the case of a vehicle towing a caravan
or a trailer, if the automatic functions are
activated but you are applying the parking
brake manually,
-

w
hen the slope you are parked on may
vary (e.g. on a ferry, on a lorry, during
towing).
If necessary, you can make a maximum
application
of the parking brake. It is obtained
by means of a long pull on control lever A,
until you see the message "Parking brake

Electronic gearbox
Six-speed electronic gearbox system which
offers a choice between the comfort of fully
automatic operation or the pleasure of manual
gear changing.
There are two driving modes:
-
a
utomatic mode for automatic control of
the gears by the gearbox,
-

m
anual mode for sequential gear changing
by the driver.
For each of these two modes, there is a
a Sport setting, corresponding to a more
dynamic driving style.
In automatic mode, it remains possible to
change gear manually by using the steering
mounted control paddles when required, when
overtaking, for example. R.

Tyre under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of
each tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres.This system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly
(including the spare wheel) and before
a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes
premature tyre wear, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high speed, long journey).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle can
be found on the tyre pressure label (see
the "Identification markings" section).
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after driving for less then
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed).
Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.
The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.

Under-inflation alert
The alert is given by the fixed illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal, and depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres ,
the symbol or the message appears, according
to equipment, to identify it.
F

educe speed, avoid sudden steering
movements or harsh brake applications.
F

S
top as soon as it is safe to do so. The alert is maintained until the tyre or
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or a
steel rim) does not have a sensor.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of the
tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of the under-inflation
warning lamp accompanied by the
illumination of the service warning
lamp indicates a fault with the system.
This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels is not fitted with a sensor
(for example, a space-saver or steel
spare wheel).
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop
to have the system checked or,
following the repair of a puncture, to have the
original wheel, equipped with a sensor, refitted. In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.
F

I

f you have a compressor (the one in the
temporary puncture repair kit for example),
check the four tyre pressures when cold.
I

f it is not possible to check the tyre
pressures at the time, drive carefully at
reduced speed.


or
F

I

n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (according to equipment). Any tyre repair or replacement on a wheel
fitted with this system must be carried out by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If after changing a tyre, a wheel is not detected
by your vehicle (fitting snow tyres for example),
you must have the system reinitialised by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
