Manual interior mirror

Automatic photochromic

interior rear view mirror

This provides an automatic and

progressive changing between

day use and night use.

To avoid causing dazzle, the mirror

automatically becomes darker as

a function of the intensity of light

coming from the rear. It becomes

lighter as soon as brightness

diminishes, thus ensuring optimal

vision.

Permit holder

The lever on the lower edge ena-

bles you to place the rear view

mirror in either of two positions:

Day position: the lever is not vis-

ible.

The athermic windscreen incorpo-

rates a zone located either side of

the rear view mirror base, to allow

the reading of access cards (e.g.

motorway toll passes).

Night position (antidazzle): the

lever is visible.

To operate

Switch on the ignition and press

control 1.

- Warning lamp 2 on: automatic

Anti-pinch device

An anti-pinch device stops the window from rising. If it meets an obstacle,

it goes back down.

After a battery disconnection or in the event of a malfunction, you

have to re-initialise the anti-pinch function:

- Lower the window fully using the control, then close. It will rise only a few

centimetres.

- Press repeatedly on the control until the window is fully closed.

Warning: During this operation, the anti-pinch protection does not work.

Child safety

Electric operation

The driver uses the controls

located on the door to operate the

vehicle’s electric windows.

This prevents the rear windows from being operated, and the rear

doors from being opened, from the rear seat positions.

It is activated by means of a press on control A located on the

electric windows control panel. The warning lamp in the instrument

panel lights up for approx. 10 seconds.

Each time the ignition is switched on, the warning lamp comes on for

approx. 10 seconds.

Opening of the doors from the outside and operation of the rear electric

windows remain possible from the front of the vehicle.

Note: the electric windows can

also be operated for a limited

time after the ignition has been

switched off (including after the

front doors have been opened).

Sequential control

An action on the control to the ﬁrst

notch causes a window move-

ment which stops as soon as the

control is released. An action on

the control to the second notch

causes the window to close or

open fully, a further press on the

control stops the movement.

ALWAYS PAY ATTENTION TO WHERE CHILDREN ARE WHEN

OPENING OR CLOSING WINDOWS.

- Always remove the ignition key when leaving the vehicle, even for short

periods.

- If the driver is operating the passenger’s electric window control, the driver

should ensure that no passenger is obstructing the window from closing.

- The driver should check that the electric windows are used properly by the

passengers.

- Should there be any risk of a person becoming trapped by a window clos-

ing, you should immediately reverse the window movement. To do this,

reverse the position of the control concerned.

Provided the engine is running,

you can adjust the memorised

maximum speed, with short or

long presses on:

- button 4 to increase the memo-

rised maximum speed,

This driving assistance device

allows you to select a maximum

speed that you wish not to exceed.

This has to be a speed greater

than 30 km/h (approx. 20 mph).

The speed limiter controls are

located on the steering wheel.

The information “OFF” then dis-

appears from zone A.

- button 2 to decrease the memo-

rised maximum speed.

While the function is active, press-

ing the accelerator pedal will not

enable you to go beyond the pro-

grammed speed unless you press

the pedal hard down past the tight

spot (see “Temporary exceeding

of the maximum speed”).

Note: successive presses modify

the memorised speed in steps

of 1 km/h (1 mph), a continuous

press in steps of 5 km/h (3 mph).

Note: The information relating

to the limiter is displayed in

zone A of the instrument panel.

To select the function

Deactivation of the maximum

speed

Press button 3.

The information “OFF” will appear

on the instrument panel screen.

This action does not cancel the

memorised maximum speed,

which remains displayed in zone A

of the instrument panel.

Temporary override of the

maximum speed

You can exceed the memorised

maximum speed at any time by

pressing the accelerator pedal

hard down past the tight spot.

During the time the limit speed

is being exceeded, the displayed

speed ﬂashes.

You have only to release the

accelerator pedal to return below

the maximum speed, thus keep-

ing the function active.

To stop the function

- move the control from position

“LIM” to position 0.

- or stop the engine.

The speed that you chose is

memorised.

In the event of a malfunction, a

message is displayed, accompa-

nied by a sound signal and lighting

of the SERVICE warning lamp.

Consult your CITROËN dealer.

Note: if during speed limitation,

the system cannot keep to the

maximum speed (especially on a

steep descent or if you accelerate

too hard) the speed ﬂashes. Adapt

your speed as necessary.

The function will re-engage when

your speed has returned below

the desired maximum.

A ﬂoor carpet not recommended by CITROËN risks sliding under

the accelerator pedal, thus preventing you from pressing past the

tight spot.

It will then be impossible to exit from the desired limitation,

unless by acting on the steering wheel control.

The driver must still remain attentive and in complete control of

the vehicle.

The 6-speed electronic gearbox offers you a choice of two driving modes

- automatic mode,

- manual mode, with two methods of control : the controls under the steering wheel and the gear selector on the

:

central console.

For each of these two modes, a Sport option, corresponding to a more dynamic driving style, is also available.

Starting the vehicle

- To start the engine, the gear

selector has to be in position N.

- Press the brake pedal.

- Action the starter.

- When the engine is running,

select R, A or M as required.

- Check the position you have

engaged in the rev counter.

Engaging reverse gear

Only engage reverse gear when

the vehicle is completely station-

ary.

• When the vehicle is moving at

very low speed, if reverse gear is

requested (position R), this will

be taken into account only when

the vehicle stops.

The «foot on brake» warning

lamp may ﬂash in the instrument

panel to remind you to brake.

• If vehicle is moving at high speed

and reverse gear is requested,

the warning lamp «N» will ﬂash

and your vehicle will go automati-

cally into neutral. To re-engage a

gear, you have only to return the

gear selector to position A or M.

Note : If the vehicle has been

stationary for a long time, or if you

have pressed the brake pedal a

number of times while stationary,

it will be necessary to press the

brake pedal hard down in order to

authorise the engine to start.

Temporary manual mode

In automatic mode, a touch on the

controls under the steering wheel

«+» or «-» lets you change gear

immediately.

The warning lamp «AUTO»

remains displayed in the rev coun-

ter.

Note : A sound signal indicates

when reverse gear is engaged.

If parking assistance is deacti-

vated, the sound signal for reverse

gear engaged is absent.

In the absence of any new action,

automatic

mode

reactivates

depending on the driving condi-

tions.

To aid starting on a gradient, your

vehicle is equipped with a system

which keeps it temporarily immo-

bilised.

It keeps the brakes applied for a

brief moment, precisely the time

taken for moving your foot from

the brake pedal to the accelerator

pedal.

This function is only active

when the vehicle has been com-

pletely stationary, with your foot

on the brake pedal, in particular

conditions on a slope.

Note :

The hill start assist function can-

not be deactivated.

On an ascending slope, with the

vehicle stationary, the vehicle

is held for a brief moment when

you release the brake pedal,

provided you are in A or M.

On a descending slope, pro-

vided the vehicle is stationary

and reverse gear is engaged,

the vehicle is held for a brief

moment when you release the

brake pedal.

Display of these warning lamps

indicates a malfunctioning of the

hill start assist function.

Warning : do not exit the vehicle during the hill start assist phase.
