Reactivation
By recall of the memorised
speed
After a disengagement, press on button 3 . Your vehicle automati-
cally returns to the memorised
cruise speed which is displayed
in zone A .
If the memorised cruise speed is higher than the current speed,
the vehicle will accelerate to
reach the former.
By selection of the current
speed
Press on button 2 or 4 once the
desired speed has been reached.
The information "OFF" will then
disappear from the instrument
panel display.
Overriding the programmed
speed
During the operation of cruise con-
trol, it is always possible to action
the accelerator to go faster than the
cruise speed (for example to over-
take another vehicle). The speed
displayed in zone A fl a s h e s .
You have only to release the accel-
erator pedal to return to the cruise
speed. If during the operation of cruise
control, the system is unable to
keep within the memorised speed
(for example on a steep descent),
t h e n t h e s p e e d fl a s h e s . A d a p t y o u r
speed as necessary.
Return to normal driving Operating fault
If there is a malfunction, a message
will display accompanied by a sound
signal and lighting of the service
warning lamp.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Cruise control should only
be used when the driving
conditions allow you to drive
at a constant speed.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM
System which detects the involun-
t a r y c r o s s i n g o f l o n g i t u d i n a l t r a f fi c
lane markings on the ground (con-
tinuous or discontinuous line).
S e n s o r s , fi t t e d b e l o w t h e f r o n t
bumper, trigger a warning if the vehi-
cle drifts (speed higher than 50 mph
(80 km/h)).
This system operates to its full
potential above all when used on
motorways and main roads. Activation
Press button A , the indicator light
comes on.
Deactivation
Press button A again, the indica-
tor light switches off.
The status of the system remains
in the memory when the ignition is
switched off.
Detection
You are warned by the vibration of
the driver's seat cushion:
- on the right-hand side, if the marking on the ground has been
crossed on the right,
- on the left-hand side, if the mark- ing on the ground has been
crossed on the left.
No warning is transmitted while the
direction indicator is active and for
approximately 20 seconds after the
direction indicator is switched off.
A warning may be transmitted
if a direction marking (arrow) or
n o n - s t a n d a r d m a r k i n g ( g r a f fi t i ) i s
crossed. Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction, the
service warning light comes on, ac-
companied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction display.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
The lane departure warning system
cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the driver. The detection may be disrupted:
- if the sensors are dirty (mud,
snow, ...),
- if the markings on the ground are worn,
- if there is little contrast between the markings on the ground and
the road surface.

PNEUMATIC SUSPENSION
Grand
C4 Picasso
C4 Picasso
The rear pneumatic suspension en-
hances driving comfort by maintain-
ing a constant body height whatever
the vehicle load. Operation
- If there is an increase in vehi-
cle load, a sinking of the rear of
the vehicle is detected and the
p n e u m a t i c s p r i n g s i n fl a t e i n o r -
der to compensate for the extra
weight.
- If there is a decrease in load, a rising of the rear of the vehicle is
detected and so the pneumatic
s p r i n g s d e fl a t e t o r e t u r n t h e v e -
hicle to its nominal height.
- If the vehicle has been unused for a long period, the pneumatic
s p r i n g s m a y i n fl a t e i f n e c e s s a r y
when you unlock or open a door,
so as to return the vehicle to its
nominal height.
If you do not reactivate the system
manually, the automatic correction
will be activated as soon as the ve-
hicle starts to move. During the cor-
rection, the service warning lamp
lights up and a message on the
screen reminds you not to exceed
10 km/h (6 mph).
The automatic correction does not
function if the doors or the boot are
open.
The automatic correction operates
even if your vehicle is in power
economy mode. Activation/Deactivation
The automatic correction can be
deactivated:

Check all of these levels regularly
and top them up if necessary, unless
otherwise indicated.

Oil level
Draining the engine
Refer to the servicing booklet for de-
tails of the interval for this operation. O i l s p e c i fi c a t i o n
The oil must correspond to your en-
gine and conform to the manufactur-
er's recommendations.
Brake fluid level

Refer to the servicing booklet for de-
tails of the interval for this operation.

Coolant level
Draining the circuit
The coolant does not have to be
changed.
F l u i d s p e c i fi c a t i o n
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
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 using the dipstick.
Between two oil changes, the con-
sumption should not exceed 0.5 litre
per 600 miles (approx. 1 000 km).
Check this level also between each
scheduled service and before long
journeys. T h e b r a k e fl u i d l e v e l s h o u l d
be close to the "MAX" mark.
If it is not, check the brake
pad wear.
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 oper-
ate with the ignition off.

In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour
after switching off the engine before
carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding,
unscrew the cap by two turns to
allow the pressure to drop. When
the pressure has dropped, remove
the cap and top up the level.
In order to maintain the re-
liability of the engine and
emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine
oil is prohibited.

CHECKS
Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance
with the servicing booklet and in re-
lation to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
Battery The battery does not re-
quire any maintenance.
However, check that
the terminals are clean
and correctly tightened,
particularly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the
b a t t e r y , r e f e r t o t h e " P r a c t i c a l
information" section for details of
the precautions to be taken before
disconnecting the battery and
following its reconnection.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the servicing
booklet for details of the
replacement intervals for
these components.
Depending on the
environment (e.g. dusty atmosphere)
and the use of the vehicle (e.g. city
driving), replace them twice as
often if necessary (refer to the
"Engines" paragraph).

contribution to the preservation of
air quality by the retaining of the
unburnt pollutant particles. Black
exhaust fumes are thus no longer
emitted.
After prolonged idling or driving
at very low speeds, you may
occasionally notice water vapour
being emitted from the exhaust
when accelerating. This is of no
consequence to the running of the
vehicle or to the environment.
If there is risk of clogging, a mes-
sage appears on the multifunction
screen, accompanied by a sound
signal and lighting of the service
warning lamp.
This alert tells you that the particle

Brake pads Brake wear depends on
the style of driving, par-
ticularly in the case of
vehicles used in town, over
short distances. It may be
necessary to have the condition of
the brakes checked, even between
vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a
d r o p i n t h e b r a k e fl u i d l e v e l i n d i c a t e s

The gearbox does not
require any maintenance
(no oil change).

The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change). Brake disc wear status
For information relating to
checking the brake disc
wear status, contact a
CITROËN dealer.
Handbrake
If the handbrake travel is too long
or if a loss of effectiveness of this
system is noticed, the handbrake
must be adjusted, even between
two services.
This system must be checked by a
CITROËN dealer. Only use products recom-
mended by CITROËN or
products of equivalent qua-
l i t y a n d s p e c i fi c a t i o n s .
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
system, CITROËN selects and

To avoid damaging the electrical
units, the use of a high pressure
washer in the engine compartment
is strictly prohibited .
