From the driver’s position,
select the rear view mirror via
the control 1, then adjust in the
four directions by moving the
control 2.

Deicing of rear view mirrors is
coupled with electric demisting of
the rear screen.

Fold-back of door mirrors

When the vehicle is parked, the
door mirrors can be folded back
either manually or electrically.

Electric fold-back

From the central position, one
press towards the rear on control 1
folds the rear view mirrors back.

To return them to the initial posi­tion, press again on the control
towards the rear.

Automatic fold-back

Automatic fold-back operates
when you lock the doors with the
remote control.

The opposite movement applies

if you operated fold-back before
switching off the ignition.

Note: Automatic fold-back of the
rear view mirrors can be deac­tivated. Consult your CITROËN
dealer.

Adjustment of the indexed
positions for the passenger’s
and driver’s rear view mirrors

With the engine running:

- Select the rear view mirror using

control 1.

- Engage reverse gear, the mirror
glass automatically positions
itself to improve your vision of

Electric operation

The driver uses the controls
located on the door to operate the
vehicle’s electric windows.

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 move­ment 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 clos­ing, you should immediately reverse the window movement. To do this,
reverse the position of the control concerned.

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.

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.

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.

Note: The information relating
to the limiter is displayed in
zone A of the instrument panel.

To select the function

Turn control 1 to position “LIM”.
On selection of the function, the

last speed memorised and the
information “OFF” will appear:

To adjust the maximum speed

Provided the engine is running,
you can adjust the memorised
maximum speed, with short or
long presses on:

- button 4 to increase the memo­rised maximum speed,

- button 2 to decrease the memo­rised 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).

Activation of the maximum
speed

When the desired maximum
speed is displayed, press button 3
to activate the limitation.

The information “OFF” then dis­appears from zone A.

While the function is active, press­ing the accelerator pedal will not
enable you to go beyond the pro­grammed speed unless you press
the pedal hard down past the tight
spot (see “Temporary exceeding
of the maximum speed”).

Note: The vehicle speed may vary
slightly from that memorised.

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, accompa­nied by a sound signal and lighting
of the SERVICE warning lamp.
Consult your CITROËN dealer.

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.

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 keep­ing the function active.

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.

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.

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.

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 coun­ter.

In the absence of any new action,
automatic mode reactivates
depending on the driving condi­tions.

Engaging reverse gear

Only engage reverse gear when
the vehicle is completely station­ary.

• 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 automati­cally into neutral. To re-engage a
gear, you have only to return the
gear selector to position A or M.

Note : A sound signal indicates
when reverse gear is engaged.

If parking assistance is deacti­vated, the sound signal for reverse
gear engaged is absent.

To aid starting on a gradient, your
vehicle is equipped with a system
which keeps it temporarily immo­bilised.

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 com­pletely stationary, with your foot
on the brake pedal, in particular
conditions on a slope.

Note :

The hill start assist function can­not be deactivated.

On a descending slope, pro­vided the vehicle is stationary
and reverse gear is engaged,
the vehicle is held for a brief
moment when you release the
brake pedal.

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

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.

Display of these warning lamps
indicates a malfunctioning of the
hill start assist function.
