Emergency unlocking In the event of the electronic parking
brake malfunctioning or the battery
r u n n i n g fl a t , a n e m e r g e n c y m a n -
ual device can unlock the parking
brake.
Immobilise the vehicle, with the
e n g i n e r u n n i n g , b y e n g a g i n g fi r s t
gear (manual gearbox), position
P (automatic gearbox) or M or
R (6-speed electronic gearbox),
then switch off the engine.
If it is impossible to immobilise the vehicle, do not action the
control and urgently contact a
CITROËN dealer.
Fetch the vehicle blocks and the
unlocking device (braided cable)
from the toolbox.
Immobilise the vehicle by placing
blocks at the front and at the rear
of one of the rear wheels.
Slide the front left-hand seat
back as far as possible.
L i f t u p t h e fl o o r p l u g B in the
carpet under the seat.
Pierce the tab C on the tube D
with the unlocking device.
Place the unlocking device in the
tube D .
Turn the unlocking device clock-
wise . For safety reasons, it is
essential to continue turning the
device as far as it will go or until
you hear a knocking noise. The
parking brake is released.
Remove the unlocking device
and store it with the blocks in the
toolbox.
- The operation of the parking brake reinitialises when the
ignition is switched off then on
again. If the reinitialisation of the
parking brake proves impossible,
contact a CITROËN dealer.
- The subsequent time required for application may be longer
than during normal operation.
For safety reasons, after this manoeuvre it is essential to cont act a CITROËN dealer urgently to have the plug
replaced.
Following an emergency unlocking, immobilisation o f the vehicle is no longer guaranteed once the manual emergency
unlocking has been deployed and the manual control does not allow the re-application of your parking brake.
Take no action, either on control A , or stopping starting the engine while the unlocking de vice is engaged.
Take care not to allow moisture or dust in the proximity of th e plug.

Operation in manual mode
Move the selector to
position M .
Controls under the steering
wheel
The levers under the steering wheel
give you access to all six forward
gears. Changing gear
Pull the lever "+" to change up a
gear.
Pull the lever "-" to change down
a gear. The levers do not permit you to se-
lect neutral or reverse gear, or to exit
reverse gear.
- If the vehicle stops or reduces
speed (for example when ap-
proaching a stop sign), the gear-
box changes down automatically
t o fi r s t g e a r .
- In manual mode, it is not neces- sary to release the accelerator
completely during gear changes.
- A request to change gear is ac- cepted only if the engine speed
permits it.
- For safety reasons, depending on the engine speed, a change
down may be performed auto-
matically.
In situations of high engine
speeds (heavy acceleration),
a change up will not occur
unless the driver actions this
on the lever controls.

To start the engine, the selector
has to be in position P or N .
Action the starter.
When the engine is running,
place the selector on R , D or M
as required.
Check, in the instrument panel,
the position engaged.
Release the brake pedal and
accelerate.
If the selector is not in position
P , a message "place automatic
gear-box in position P " appears
on the multifunction screen, ac-
companied by a beep and the
fl a s h i n g o f P on the instrument
panel.
Moving off
To avoid incoherence between
the position of the selector and
the actual position of the gear-
box, always exit from position P
when you switch on the ignition
and press the brake pedal.
Otherwise, when the ignition is on or
the engine is running:
reposition the selector in position P ,
put your foot on the brake pedal
and then select the gear you
want.
Park
To select position P , move the
selector back to the highest
position (towards R ), then push
it forwards and then to the left.
To exit position P , move the
selector to the right and then to
the position you want.
Only engage this position when
the vehicle is completely sta-
tionary. In this position, the front
wheels are locked. Make sure
that the selector is correctly po-
sitioned. Reverse gear
Neutral
Only engage this position
when the vehicle is station-
ary. To prevent snatching,
do not accelerate too soon
after selection.
Never select position
N if
the vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or
R if the vehicle is not sta-
tionary.
If, while the vehicle is moving,
position N is engaged inadvertently,
allow the engine to idle before
engaging position D or M .
This position of the selector
is used to prevent the vehi-
cle from moving when you
are stationary.

SPEED LIMITER
System which prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by
the driver.
Once the limit speed has been
reached, the accelerator pedal no
longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched on manu-
ally: a speed of at least 30 km/h (around
20 mph) must be programmed.
The speed limiter controls are located
on the left-hand side of the steering
wheel. The programmed information is
grouped together in zone
A of the
instrument panel display.
Steering wheel controls Displays on the instrument
panel
Programming
Rotate the control
1 to the "LIM"
position. With the engine running, you can
adjust the memorised maximum
speed, by means of short or long
presses on:
button 4 to increase the memo-
rised maximum speed,
button 2 to decrease the memo-
rised maximum speed.
Successive presses will modify the
maximum speed in steps of 1 mph
and a sustained press in steps of
3 mph.
Activation
When the desired maximum speed
is displayed, press button 3 so that
the limitation is activated.
On selection of the
function, the previous
memorised speed and
the information "OFF"
are displayed: The information
"OFF"
then disappears from
the instrument panel
display.
While the function is active, pressing
the accelerator pedal will not enable
the programmed speed to be
exceeded, except if you press the
pedal hard down to beyond the end-
of-travel switch.
The speed of your vehicle may vary
slightly in relation to that memorised.
The speed limiter cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of
the observance of speed limits or
of the vigilance and responsibility
of the driver.

CRUISE CONTROL
System which automatically main-
tains the vehicle speed programmed
by the driver, without any action on
the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: the vehicle speed must be
at least 25 mph (approx. 40 km/h)
and you must engage:
- fourth gear on a manual gearbox,
- second gear, in sequential mode, on an electronic gearbox or
automatic gearbox,
- position A on an electronic gear-
box or D on an automatic gearbox.
Steering wheel controls
The cruise control commands are
located on the left-hand side of the
steering wheel. The programmed information is
grouped together in zone
A of the
instrument panel display.
Displays on the instrument
panel
Activation You can then release the accelera-
tor pedal. The vehicle will automati-
cally keep to the speed chosen.
The speed of your vehicle may vary
slightly in relation to that memo-
rised.
You can adjust the memorised speed
on the instrument panel display by
pressing on:
button 4 to increase the speed,
button 2 to decrease the speed.
Successive presses modify the
cruise speed in steps of 1 mph and a
sustained press in steps of 3 mph.
Deactivation
Either by pressing on the brake
pedal or on the clutch pedal.
Or by pressing button 3 .
Or if either the ESP or the ASR
system is active.
The cruise control is not active if the
gear lever is in neutral.
On selection of the
function via control
1,
no cruise speed has
yet been memorised .
Programming
Rotate the control
1 to the "REG"
position.
Once the desired speed has been
reached via action on the accelera-
tor, press button 2 or button 4 . The
cruise speed is then memorised. It
is displayed in zone A of the instru-
ment panel. These actions cause
the information
"OFF"
to appear on the instru-
ment panel display.
These manoeuvres do
not cancel the cruise
speed which remains
displayed in the instru-
ment panel.
The cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of
the observance of speed limits or
of the vigilance and responsibility
of the driver.

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:
press on the button B for approx-
imately two seconds,
release the button when you
hear a beep. Deactivation is
c o n fi r m e d b y t h e l i g h t i n g o f t h e
indicator lamp on the button B .
In the event of the system mal-
functioning, alert messages,
always in association with the
service warning lamp, will dis-
play in the instrument panel .
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
It is essential that you should
deactivate the system in the following
instances:
- working under the vehicle,
- changing a wheel,
- transporting the vehicle on a
truck or on a boot.
To reactivate the automatic correction:
press again on the button B for
approximately two seconds,
release the button when you hear
