Citroen C5 Aircross Infotainment/Safety Review 

Thanks for the feedback pal, and thanks for watching!

Thank you very much! Thanks for watching.

No problem, thanks for watching 👍🏽.

Thanks Mark, I'm glad you enjoyed the video, enjoy the car. Thanks for watching 👍🏽.

@Capricorn 1 Absolutely love it , quiet , comfortable and very good MPG . Had its first service in December and that was very reasonable. Downloaded and installed the updates for the touchscreen last week and yep I’m very happy with it .

But supposing you are in that situation when it gets a bit to hot/cold in the car and you want to adjust the heating quickly, or maybe de-mist the windows...its a terrible design, style over practicality. If messing around with a mobile is dangerous, then how is trying to adjust the heating and ventilation controls in the same manner any different? When I went to test drive an Aircross the salesman's face dropped when I commented to the heating and ventilation...and in a way like he had heard it before....Such a shame, we really fancied this car.

No worries, I'm glad you found the video helpful - thanks for watching.

Hi there, thanks for watching 👍🏽. I'm glad you found the video useful.

Totally agree....

Hi Steve, glad you found it useful, thanks for watching 👍🏽.

I had the Citroen about a month or so ago. Thanks for watching 👍🏽

Hi there, thanks for the feedback - yes you can use the Android Auto and the wireless phone charging at the same time, thanks for watching.

@@CarObsession I mean without plugging in a usb cable? Because certainly if it's wirelessly charging, still having to plug in a usb cable for Android auto makes the wireless charging pointless. Can you verify?

@@VEVODeVon Ah I see! No, you would need to have the phone plugged via a cable for the Android Auto/Apple CarPlay.

I have no idea to be honest. Thanks for watching Josh.

you can upgrade then halogen bulbs plenty of offerings of 30% brighter white light bulbs from ring at an auto factors, ive been using them for years and they are much better than standard bulbs..

Hello David, thank you for watching. Yes, the steering wheel definitely moves, as demonstrated at around 14:10.

David Redmond it moves the steering wheel if you do not indicate when changing lanes. I found it a bit annoying, it does not stop you changing lanes, as you cross the white line it feels like some one has tugged at the wheel for a second. A bit like when your car tries to follow ruts in a road. But you can turn it off but I have not found a way to disable it so have to remember to turn it off at the start of each journey. It also seems to activate unexpectedly when driving on rural roads.

Hi Noel, what trim level have you got?

What model did you get ? We are looking at the C5 aircross shine plus, but they say the infotainment screen is rubbish & it takes ages to load 🤔do you have this problem with yours ?

Oh God, I honestly can't remember. From memory, I don't think it does - thanks for watching.

Solista It is automatic

That's a very good question...🤔

@@CarObsession thanks , also can you explain how the park brake works , I'm used to the old handbrake and i'm kinda worried how it works .

@@jake30966 How to operate the parking brake, or how it actually works? I won't be able to answer the second question 😂

@@CarObsession how to operate it .

@@jake30966 Oh it's simply button operated.

Hi there Danny, thanks for watching - this is the Flair model.

I have just bought the flair model and it does not have the gap button on the stalk it only say mem on both buttons does the distance driving work on the flair model, are you sure this is not the flair plus

What Peugeot?

Around 0:30 I said it was the Flair model 🤷‍♂️.

@@CarObsession the manual knobs for adjusting the fan speed and selecting screen fiunctions are under the screen on the ebony panel. next to the stereo on/off/volume button. if you want to do a demo press the talk button on the steering wheel and "say what can you do" but be prepared for a 5 minute lecture on all the functions. The electric parking break will self release if you select first gear and pull away, even though the car has hill start this is especially handy on particularly steep hills or when you are parked close to vechicles behind you, electric parking breaks have a bad reputation, my specalist citroen independant put the car up on ramps and checked the underneath being as I bought a used one and he seems to think the electric brakes on the rear are of a much better quality than the older model citroens. my lane keep assist wont let me go anywhere near the white lines and ot really tugs at the steering wheel, I turn it off as it hinders overtaking to much. the camera on the windscreen triangulates with the radar in the front grill to automatically brake if you get to close to the car in front and it works to, tried to get my mate to drive at me but he lost his bottle at the last minute. by the way if you press the buttons on the side of the headrests they slide back and forewards. nice review most reviewers dont do this car justice but you are maybe the first who has, well done.

Hi Andy, it's definitely a Flair model, I've got the spec sheet from Citroen to prove it 😉. Thanks for watching.

@@CarObsession strange but fair enough I have a brand new flair mine doesn’t have adaptive cruise control, or park assist but great review 👍

@@3004andycox The model tested did have a few options - thanks for watching.

@@CarObsession i don't suppose you know how the fog lights work, as i have no idea and cant seem to find anything that tells you how they work ???

@@CarObsession sussed it lol

Hi John, thanks for watching. No need to worry about missing anything - the engine was not mentioned as this video was focusing on the tech. There will be a full review of this car coming in the next few days. I had the 1.2 PureTech 130 engine, which works pretty well and it offers decent performance no matter what road you're on. I didn't mean anything rude or insulting, by the sat nav comment, which is why I backtracked after I said it. My Mrs was more than happy to assist as she knew she would need to get out at some point, and I'd never force her to film anything for my channel.

@@CarObsession Thank you, have a good weekend and bank holiday. I made the comments because there are so many people that get so easily offended, thus the SJW social justice warrior bit. But it made me laugh because you quite clearly thought when you said it, oops. It was nice to see the banter between you and your wife.

@@johnmorgan1629 And you John 😀 The full review may be uploaded tomorrow, if not, it'll be Monday 👍🏽

It's merely an expression, no need to over analyse it. Thanks for watching.

Hello, sorry for the delayed response. No it doesn't - thanks for watching.
