DRIVING
CRUISE CONTROL
System which automatically maintains
the speed of the vehicle at the value
programmed by the driver, without any
action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: it requires a minimum vehicle
speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the en-
gaging of at least 4th gear.
The controls of this system are grouped
together on lever A .
1. Cruise control mode selection dial
2. Speed programming/value decrease
button
3. Speed programming/value increase
button
4. Cruise control off/resume button The programmed information is grouped
together on the instrument panel dis-
play.
5. Cruise control off/resume indication
6. Cruise control mode selection indi-
cation
7. Programmed speed value
Steering wheel controls Displays on the instrument
panel
The cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need
to respect speed limits, nor can it
replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver.
The cruise control is
switched off manu-
ally or by pressing the brake or clutch
pedal or on triggering of the ESP sys-
tem for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed
speed temporarily by pressing the ac-
celerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value.

DRIVING
VISUAL AND AUDIBLE REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
This system consists of four proximity
sensors, located in the rear bumper,
and a special speaker.
This detects any obstacle (person, vehi-
cle, tree, gate, etc.) behind the vehicle.
Nevertheless, it cannot detect obstacles
located just below the bumper. An object, such as a stake, a road-
works cone or any other similar object
may be detected at the beginning of
the manoeuvre, but may no longer
be detected when the vehicle comes
close to it. Activation
The system is activated as soon as re-
verse gear is engaged, accompanied
by an audible signal. The proximity in-
formation is given by:
- an audible signal, which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approach-
es the obstacle.
- a graphic on the multifunction dis- play, with blocks which become in-
creasingly closer to the vehicle. The rear parking assistance sys-
tem cannot, in any circumstances,
take the place of the vigilance and
responsibility of the driver.
Detection zone
When the distance between the rear of
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
thirty centimetres, the audible signal be-
comes continuous and the "Danger" sym-
bol appears on the multifunction display.
On completion of the manoeuvre, when
you exit reverse gear, the system be-
comes inactive.

CHECKS
CHECKING LEVELS Brake fluid level
Oil level The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes.
The check is carried out either when the
ignition is switched on using the oil level
indicator on the instrument panel, or us-
ing the dipstick.
Between two oil changes, the consump-
tion should not exceed 0.5 litre per
600 miles (1,000 km). T h e b r a k e fl u i d l e v e l s h o u l d b e
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.
Draining the circuit
Refer to the Maintenance and Warranty
Guide for details of the interval for this
operation.
Coolant level The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the ig-
nition off.

In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work. F l u i d s p e c i fi c a t i o n
For optimum cleaning and to avoid

Draining the engine
Refer to the Maintenance and Warranty
Guide for details of the interval for this
operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.
O i l s p e c i fi c a t i o n
The oil must correspond to your engine
and conform to the manufacturer’s re-
commendations. F l u i d s p e c i fi c a t i o n

F l u i d s p e c i fi c a t i o n
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer’s recommendations.
Draining the circuit
The coolant does not have to be
changed.
Screenwash fluid level
Top up the level when neces-
sary.
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.

CITROËN dealer.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
