Hi all,
On the end of the lighting control arm on the steering wheel is a button. Does anyone know what it is supposed to do?
I know the one on the wiper arm does the trip computer stuff but cannot work out the other one. Have tried both day and night driving at different speeds but nothing seems to happen.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers.

I'm pretty sure that the end-of-indicator stalk button is used to reset the service indicator- see page 26 of the PDF version of the manual 'resetting the service indicator'.

On mine that is done by pressing the check/000 button at the bottom of the instrument panel.

Andy, you are correct - I've checked and it's the same on mine. I just found on page 3 of the Citroen Connect Radio manual section (page 229 of the PDF manual) that the button is used to activate Voice Control in some models - see 'Steering mounted controls - Type 2' section... and also in the Citroen Connect Nav section of the manual it says the same thing on page 248.

I think in the Flair and Flair Plus models at least the button is redundant.

On my Feel it starts Google when I have my phone plugged in. But then, so does the button with the pic of a face talking.

Was wondering that today. My button seems to do nothing. Will check tomorrow about the voice activation.
