Multifunction displays. Colour display C. Controls. Air conditioning

The multifunction displays are the information centre of the Citroën C6. This chapter covers colour display C, which allows the driver to adjust climate, audio, driving assistance, language and lighting settings. Access to the trip computer, user menu and vehicle settings is intuitive via the control buttons. Functions such as switching on Bi-Xenon headlamps, setting the follow-me-home duration or activating daytime running lights can be configured easily. Units and date/time can also be adjusted.
