Deactivation of manual height correction Good practice

When stationary and with the ignition key
removed, excessive use of the system
consumes battery power.
Long term parking
Avoid parking for a long duration on ground
which could present a potential obstacle as
your vehicle could lower.
Following a long period out of use, the height of
the platform may change due to the automatic
height correction on unlocking or on opening
one of your vehicle's doors. With the vehicle stationary:


- press and hold,

- release the control.
Deactivation is confirmed by
the LED which is on. It remains on for
approximately 30 seconds.

Return to manual height correction
You must deactivate the manual height
correction in the following situations:


- when working underneath the vehicle,

- when changing a wheel,

- when the vehicle is being transported by
lorry, train, ferry, boat, ...

Driving with the height of the rear platform:


- too low, risks damaging the technical
components underneath the vehicle,

- too high, risks unstable driving.
If you start and the warning lamp flashes,
to switch it off:


- correct the position of the manual
control which is still at the lower or
upper limit,

- or drive slowly at above 6 mph (10 km/h),
until height correction returns to
automatic mode.
Warning lamp
Refer to the "Instruments and controls"
section of chapter 2. With the vehicle stationary:


- press and hold,

- release the control.
Return to manual correction is
confirmed by the LED which goes off.
According to the configuration, a beep may
be heard during these operations.

Mirrors and windows
MIRRORS

If fitted on your vehicle, the mirror is
supplemented by a 2nd lower mirror. This
mirror is convex to broaden the field of side
vision. Objects observed are, in reality,
closer than they appear. Therefore, take this
into account in order to judge the distance
correctly.
MIRRORS AND WINDOWS

Electric folding
If your vehicle is fitted with this function,
the mirrors can be folded electrically from
the inside, with the vehicle parked and the
ignition on:


- Place switch A
in the centre position.

- Pull switch A
rearwards.


Heated mirrors

If your vehicle is fitted with this function,
press the rear screen demisting button. The folding / unfolding on locking / unlocking
can be deactivated. Contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.



Electric door mirrors



- Move switch A
to the right or to the left
to select the corresponding mirror.

- Move knob B
in all four directions to
adjust.

- Return switch A
to the centre position. From the outside, lock the vehicle using the
remote control or the key.

Electric unfolding
The electric unfolding of the mirrors is
possible with the remote control or the key
on unlocking the vehicle, unless folding
was selected using switch A
. In this case,
pull the switch rearwards from the centre
position again.
Manual door mirrors

Move the lever in all four directions
to adjust.
When the vehicle is parked, the door mirrors
can be folded back manually.

ELECTRIC WINDOWS



1.
Driver's electric window control

2.
Passenger electric window control The electrical functions of the electric
windows are deactivated:


- approximately 45 seconds after the
ignition is switched off,

- after one of the front doors is opened,
if the ignition is off.


Reinitialisation

Following reconnection of the battery,
the safety anti-pinch function must be
reinitialised.
Lower the window fully, then raise it, it will
rise in steps of a few centimetres each time
the control is pressed. Repeat the operation
until the window is fully closed.
Continue to press the control for at least one
second after the window closed position has
been reached.
The safety anti-pinch does not operate
during these operations.
There are two operating modes:

Manual mode

Press or pull the control, without passing the
point of resistance. The window stops when
you release the control.

Automatic mode

Press or pull the control, beyond the point
of resistance. The window opens or closes
fully when the control is released. Pressing
the control again stops the movement of the
window.
Safety anti-pinch
If your vehicle is fitted with the safety anti-
pinch function, when the window rises and
meets an obstacle, it stops and partially
lowers.
In the event of unwanted opening of the
window on closing, press the control until
the window is fully open. Within the next
4 seconds, pull the control until the window
is fully closed.
The safety auto-reverse does not operate
during these operations.


Good practice

If the electric windows meet an obstacle
during operation, you must reverse the
movement of the window. To do this, press
the control concerned.
When the driver operates the passenger
electric window controls, he must ensure
that no one is preventing correct closing of
the windows.
The driver must ensure that the passengers
use the electric windows correctly.

PARKING BRAKE
When parking on a slope, direct your wheels towards
the pavement and pull the parking brake lever up.
There is no advantage in engaging a gear after
parking the vehicle, particularly if the vehicle is
loaded.
HAZARD WARNING LAMPS

Press this button, the direction indicators
flash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
The hazard warning lamps should only be
used in dangerous situations, when stopping
in an emergency or when driving in unusual
conditions.
DRIVING SAFELY

Applying

Pull the parking brake to immobilise your
vehicle.
Check that the parking brake is applied
firmly before leaving the vehicle.
If the parking brake is still on or has
not been released properly, this is
indicated by this warning lamp which
comes on on the instrument panel.
Releasing
Pull the lever and press the button to lower
the parking brake lever.

94
Parking sensors
The audible and/or visual rear parking
sensor system consists of four proximity
sensors, installed in the rear bumper. The
sensors detect any obstacle which enters
the field: person, vehicle, tree, fence, behind
the vehicle during the manoeuvre.
Certain objects detected at the beginning of
the manoeuvre will no longer be detected
at the end of the manoeuvre due to the
blind spots between and below the sensors.
Examples: stake, roadworks cone or
pavement post.
Engage reverse gear
An audible signal confirms the activation of
the system by engaging reverse gear.
The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more rapid as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle. When
the distance between the rear of the vehicle
and the obstacle is less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal
becomes continuous.

Activation/Deactivation

REAR PARKING SENSORS


Display in the screen
You can activate or deactivate
the system by pressing this
button.
The activation or deactivation
of the system is stored when the vehicle
stops.


Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction, when reverse
gear is engaged the LED in the button
comes on, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the screen. Contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.


Good practice

In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow.
The system will be deactivated automatically
if a trailer is being towed or if a bicycle
carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a
towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by
CITROËN).
The parking assistance cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
Stop the assistance

Change to neutral.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM(ABS - EBFD)

The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force
distribution) systems improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.
The ABS prevents locking of the wheels,
the EBFD provides control of the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.
Good practice
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock. It does not reduce the braking
distance.
On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil, etc...)
the ABS may increase the braking distance.
When braking in an emergency, do not
hesitate to press the brake pedal firmly,
without releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able to
continue to manoeuvre the vehicle to avoid
an obstacle.
Normal operation of the ABS may be felt by
slight vibration of the brake pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are recommended by
CITROËN. If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the brake and STOP
warning lamps, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message
in the screen, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution which
could result in a loss of control of the vehicle
on braking.

Stop
as soon as it is safe to do so

.

EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables the
optimum braking pressure to be reached
more quickly, press the pedal firmly without
releasing it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is activated.
This alters the resistance of the brake
pedal under your foot. If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen, it
indicates a malfunction of the ABS
which could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle on braking. In both cases, contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
To prolong the operation of the emergency
braking assistance system: keep your foot
on the brake pedal.

ESP
96
Driving safely
ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAMME (ESP)

These systems are linked and complement
the ABS.
The ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and avoiding
losses of control of the vehicle on
acceleration.
The system optimises drive to prevent the
wheels skidding, by acting on the brakes of
the drive wheels and on the engine. It also
allows the directional stability of the vehicle
to be improved on acceleration. acts on the engine and the brake of one
or more wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course.
Deactivating the ASR/ESP systems
In certain exceptional conditions (starting
the vehicle when stuck in mud or snow, or
on loose ground...), it could prove useful
to deactivate the ASR and ESP systems to
make the wheels spin and regain grip.


- Press the button, located on the centre
console.

- The indicator lamp comes on: the ASR
and ESP systems no longer operate.
Operating check


Good practice

The ASR/ESP systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but should not
encourage the driver to take risks or to drive
at high speed.
The operation of these systems is assured
only if the recommendations of the
manufacturer regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components, the
electronic components and fitting and repair
procedures are observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Operation of the ASR and ESPsystems

The LED flashes when the
ASR or ESP is triggered.

They engage again:


- automatically above 30 mph (50 km/h),

- manually by pressing the button again.
When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in
the screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The warning lamp may also come on if the
tyres are under-inflated. Check the pressure
of each tyre.

Use the ESP to hold your course without
attempting to countersteer.
If there is a variation between the trajectory
followed by the vehicle and that required
by the driver, the ESP system automatically

"GRIP CONTROL"

The accelerator pedal must
be pressed sufficiently
so that the engine power
can be used to effectively
manage the various
parameters. On snow, mud and sand, this traction
system, associated with the Michelin ®
Agilis 51 M+S all terrain tyres, provides a
compromise between safety, adhesion and
traction.
It allows progress to be made in most
conditions of low adhesion.












Correct use
Your vehicle is designed principally to drive
on tarmac roads but it allows you to drive on
other less passable terrain occasionally.
However, particularly when your vehicle is
heavily laden, it does not permit off-road
activities such as:


- crossing and driving on ground which
could damage the underbody or tear off
components (fuel pipe, fuel cooler, ...),
particularly by obstacles or stones,

- driving on ground with steep gradients
and poor grip,

- crossing a stream.

ESP OFF
98
Driving safely

This ESP mode is calibrated for
a low level of skidding, based
on different conditions of grip
encountered on the road.
When the ignition is switched off, the system
returns automatically to ESP mode.

This ESP OFF
mode is only
suitable for specific conditions
encountered when moving off or
at low speed.
This mode is active up to 30 mph (50 km/h).
This snow
mode allows the
vehicle to adapts its strategy
to the conditions of grip
encountered for each of the two
front wheels, on moving off.
When moving, the system optimises
wheelspin to provide the best acceleration
possible for the grip available.

This off-road
mode (mud, wet
grass...) allows, when moving off,
considerable wheelspin on the
wheel with the least grip to favour
clearing of the mud and regain "grip". At the
same time, the wheel with the most grip is
controlled in such a way as to transmit as
much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises
wheelspin to meet the driver's requirements
as fully as possible.
This sand
mode allows a little
wheelspin on the two driving
wheels at the same time to allow
the vehicle to move forward and
reduces the risk of getting stuck in the sand.
Do not use the other modes on sand as the
vehicle may become stuck.
