PANORAMIC SUNROOF
(TOURER)

This  comprises  a  tinted  glass  pan-
oramic area  1  to improve brightness

partment.
It is ﬁ tted with an electric blind  2  to

help maintain a comfortable temper-
ature and reduce noise.

Opening

      Press control  A .
Pressing to the  1st notch  allows you
to open the blind step by step.
Pressing  to  the   2nd  notch   allows

of  the  blind. To  do  so,  reverse  the
position of the control.
When  the  driver  is  operating  the
blind, he or she must always make
sure  that  the  passengers  are  not
preventing it from closing properly.
The  driver  must  ensure  that  pas-
sengers use the blind correctly.
Pay particular attention to children
when operating the blind .

few centimetres).

SEQUENTIAL ELECTRIC
BLIND

A C C E S S

Capacity of the tank: approximately
71 litres.

Low fuel level

When the minimum level
in the tank is reached, this
warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel,

accompanied by an audible warning
and a message on the multifunction

screen. When it ﬁ rst comes on, there

remains around 5 litres of fuel in the
tank.
You must refuel to avoid running out
of fuel.

 Press at the top left corner, then

pull open from the left.

 turn the key a quarter turn to lock

and unlock the ﬁ ller cap,

 when refuelling, place the cap on

hook A ,



ﬁ ll the tank, but do not persist

after the third cut-off ; this could
cause your vehicle to malfunction.

  While you are refuelling, the engine
must  be  stopped  and  the  ignition
switched off.
  For  a  petrol  engine  with  a  cata-
lytic  converter,  unleaded  fuel  is
compulsory.

Opening the fuel flap

Additions of fuel must be of at least
5 litres to be taken into account by
the fuel gauge.
The ﬁ ller neck is narrower to ensure

that only unleaded petrol nozzles
can be put in.
Opening the ﬁ ller cap may create

a  noise  of  an  inrush  of  air.  This
vacuum,  which  is  entirely  normal,
is caused by the sealing of the fuel
system.

Refuelling

        With Stop & Start, never re-
fuel with the system in STOP
mode;  you  must  switch  off
the ignition with the key.

A C C E S S

Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines

  The  petrol  engines  are  perfectly
compatible  with  E10  type  petrol
biofuels  (containing  10 %  ethanol),
conforming  to  European  standards
EN 228 and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 %
ethanol) are reserved exclusively for
vehicles marketed for the use of this
type  of  fuel  (BioFlex  vehicles).  The
quality  of  the  ethanol  must  comply
with European standard EN 15293.
For Brazil only, special vehicles are
marketed to run on fuels containing
up to 100 % ethanol (E100 type).

Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines

  The  Diesel  engines  are  perfectly
compatible with biofuels which con-
form to current and future European
standards  (Diesel  fuel  which  com-
plies  with  standard  EN  590  mixed
with  a  biofuel  which  complies  with
standard EN 14214) available at the
pumps  (containing  up  to  7 %  Fatty
Acid Methyl Ester).
The B30 biofuel can be used in cer-
tain  Diesel  engines;  however,  this
use  is  subject  to  strict  application
of  the  special  servicing  conditions.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or di-
luted, domestic fuel...) is strictly pro-
hibited (risk of damage to the engine
and fuel system).

MISFUEL PREVENTION

Mechanical device which prevents

ﬁ lling the tank of a Diesel vehicle

with petrol. It avoids the risk of
engine damage that can result from

ﬁ lling with the wrong fuel.

Located in the ﬁ ller neck, the misfuel

prevention device appears when the

ﬁ ller cap is removed.

Operation

When a petrol ﬁ ller nozzle is intro-

duced into the fuel ﬁ ller neck of your

Diesel vehicle, it comes into contact

with the ﬂ ap. The system remains

closed and prevents ﬁ lling.
Do not persist but introduce a

Diesel type ﬁ ller nozzle.

It is still possible to use a fuel can

to ﬁ ll the reservoir.

In order to ensure a good ﬂ ow of

fuel, do not place the nozzle of the

fuel can in direct contact with the ﬂ ap

of the misfuel prevention device.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
CONTROLS

Control stalk for the selection and con-
trol of the various front and rear lamps
providing the vehicle's lighting.

Main lighting

The various front and rear lamps of
the vehicle are designed to adapt
the driver's visibility progressively in
relation to the climatic conditions:
-

sidelamps, to be seen,

dipped beam headlamps to see
without dazzling other drivers,

main beam headlamps to see
clearly when the road is clear.

Additional lighting

Other lamps are ﬁ tted to fulﬁ l the

requirements of particular driving
conditions:
-

a rear foglamp to be seen from a
distance,

front foglamps for even better
forward vision,

directional headlamps for im-
proved visibility when cornering,

daytime running lamps to be
seen during the day.

Programming

Various automatic lighting control
modes are also available depending
on options:
-

guide-me-home lighting,

automatic illumination of head-
lamps,

directional lighting.

Manual controls

Lamps off.

Automatic

illumination

headlamps.

Sidelamps only.

Dipped headlamps or
main beam headlamps.

B. Stalk for switching headlamps:

pull to switch the lighting between
dipped headlamps/main beam
headlamps.

In the lamps off and sidelamps
modes, the driver can switch on the
main beam headlamps temporarily

("headlamp ﬂ ash") by maintaining a

pull on the stalk.

Displays

Lighting of the corresponding indi-
cator lamp on the instrument panel

conﬁ rms the switching on of the

lighting selected.

The  lighting  commands  are  issued
directly  by  the  driver  by  means  of
the ring  A  and the stalk  B .

A. Main lighting mode selection ring:

turn it to position the symbol re-
quired facing the mark.

In some weather conditions (e.g.

low temperature or humidity), the

presence  of  misting  on  the  inter-
nal  surface  of  the  glass  of  the
headlamps and rear lamps is nor-
mal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.

V I S I B I L I T Y

C. Foglamps selection ring.
The foglamps operate with the side-
lamps and the dipped and main
beam headlamps.

1 st turn forwards: rear foglamps on.

1 st turn rearwards: rear foglamps off.

1 st turn forwards: front foglamps on.

2 nd turn forwards: rear foglamps on.

Model with rear foglamps
only

Model with front and rear
foglamps

      In good or rainy weather, both day
and  night,  the  front  foglamps  and
the rear foglamps are prohibited. In
these situations, the power of their
beams  may  dazzle  other  drivers.
They should only be used in fog or
snow.
In  these  weather  conditions,  it  is
your responsibility to switch on the
foglamps  and  dipped  headlamps
manually as the brightness sensor

may detect sufﬁ cient light.
Do  not  forget  to  switch  off  the  front
foglamps  and  the  rear  foglamps
when they are no longer necessary.

  Lamps on buzzer
The triggering of an audible signal
when a front door is opened warns
the  driver  that  he  has  forgotten  to
switch off his vehicle's lamps, with
the ignition off and in manual lamps
mode.
In this case, switching off the lamps
stops the audible signal.
With  the  ignition  off,  if  the  dipped
headlamps  remain  on,  they  will
switch  off  automatically  after  thirty
minutes  to  prevent  discharging  of
the battery.

Automatic illumination of headlamps

The sidelamps and dipped beam
headlamps are switched on automati-
cally, without any action on the part of
the driver, when a low level of external
light is detected or in certain cases of
activation of the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to a

sufﬁ cient level or after the windscreen

wipers are switched off, the lamps are
switched off automatically.

Activation
 Turn ring A to the "AUTO" position.

The automatic illumination of head-
lamps is accompanied by a message

In  the  event  of  a  malfunction  of  the
brightness  sensor,  the  lamps  come
on  and  a  message  appears  on  the
instrument  panel  screen,  accompa-
nied by an audible signal.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.

In fog or snow, the brightness

sensor may detect sufﬁ cient light.

Therefore, the lamps will not come
on automatically.
Do  not  cover  the  brightness  sen-
sor, linked with the rain sensor and
located  in  the  centre  of  the  wind-
screen behind the rear view mirror;
the  associated  functions  would  no
longer operate.

MANUAL HEADLAMP
