Driving and other important information appears on the bold, dashboard centre screen. Different information is instantly selectable, and light intensity can be adapted to suit all conditions. Clarity is uncompromised, 24 hours a day. The 2013 Citroen C4 Picasso and 2013 Citroen Grand C4 Picasso ingenious ventilation controls distribute air so effectively through the cabin that the driver and front passenger can adjust their own air conditioning and ideal temperature on VTR and VTR+ models. Additionally, on Exclusive models, the exact temperature can be set on each side of the dashboard whilst row 2 passengers can adjust the airflow. For a unique luxury touch, switch on the air freshener on Exclusive models, which will wash the cabin in a specially developed invigorating fragrance. Innovative thinking surrounds everyone in the bright, spacious cabin. The glazed area is huge, allowing the light to flood in through the panoramic windscreen and wide lateral windows. This also means added security as you enjoy unparalleled 360° visibility.
Optional on Exclusive models, the interior mood lighting creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere throughout. Soft, diffuse light glows from guides under the central facia strip, the door panels and the ceiling, and it’s totally adjustable using a translucent button on the dashboard. There are also small LEDs set into the internal door handles and front roof panel. The light thinking goes further. On VTR+ and Exclusive stylish LEDs above the front fog lights help lead the way. On the same models there is a rechargeable torch in the boot, which also acts as a boot light when in place. Remove it from the clip and you have a ready to use torch with up to 40 minutes of power it’s typical of the useful, original bright ideas packed into every Citroen C4 Picasso and 2013 Grand C4 Picasso. Mounted in the front seat backs are dedicated reading lights on Exclusive models only, designed to illuminate the fold down tables. It means that passengers can comfortably read without disturbing the driver or anyone else.
From the very start, Citroen C4 Picasso and Grand C4 Picasso have been designed to make a minimal impact on the environment. Remarkable aerodynamics and carefully chosen light materials, such as aluminium for the bonnet and roof and magnesium for seat frames, keep weight and fuel consumption right down. The amazing Electronic Gearbox System (EGS) is essentially two gearboxes in one, offering the choice between rapid fingertip manual changes or a smooth automatic, but its sophistication also cuts the amount of CO2 produced, easily beating ordinary manuals. Choose the HDi 110 manual, the e-HDi 110 Airdream EGS6 or the punchy. HDi 150, with 6-speed EGS or manual, and a fine balance of economy, refinement and flexible performance is assured, but both go further. They are fitted with the Diesel Particulate Filter System which uses advanced anti-pollution technology to remove harmful carbon particles from
the exhaust gases, before they reach the great outdoors.
All Citroen C4 Picasso are inherently safe, thanks to their sophisticated suspension design,
but the Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) adds a further level of security. By monitoring
progress through a bend, it senses whether oversteer or understeer is developing, modifying
engine torque and applying a precise measure of braking for ultimate stability and control. Standard ABS electronically regulates braking to avoid locking wheels, so the driver can still
safely steer in an emergency. Connected to the ABS, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD)
ensures that braking pressure is evenly applied to all wheels so that should the need arise, all
braking power can effectively be used. In an emergency there is also Emergency Braking
Assistance (EBA). This technology automatically maximises braking effort when it detects strong input. This compensates for the fact that many people don’t brake enough under pressure and it reduces stopping distances.
Citroen’s unique new Intelligent Traction Control System, standard on Citroën C4 Picasso and Grand C4 Picasso manual and EGS models, helps you get safely where you need to go. It means
even more dynamic road handling, active safety on sliding surfaces and impeccable steering. The Intelligent Traction Control System regulates each driving wheel independently in snow, ice, and rain giving the Citroën C4 Picasso and Citroen Grand C4 Picasso improved traction in difficult conditions. Parking shouldn’t add to the burden of a busy day. Optional front parking sensors on Exclusive models and standard rear parking sensors on VTR+ and Exclusive enable you to manoeuvre safely and quickly into the tightest spots, fully aware of hidden obstacles.
