Automatic operation

 Move the selector to position D .
The gearbox constantly selects the
gear that is best suited to the follow-
ing parameters: - driving style,
- road profi le
- vehicle load.
The gearbox operates without requir-
ing any intervention on your part.
For certain manoeuvres (for exam-
ple overtaking), you can obtain max-
imum acceleration by pressing the
accelerator pedal hard down past
the mechanical force zone (point of
resistance), which then produces an
automatic change down to a lower
gear. When braking, the gearbox may
change down automatically in order
to provide effective engine braking.
If you lift your foot off the accelera-
tor abruptly, the gearbox will not en-
gage a higher gear.
Manual operation
Position of the selector for manual
gear changing.

 Move the selector to position M .

 Push the selector towards the
" + " sign to change up a gear.

 Pull the selector towards the " - "
sign to change down a gear. - If the vehicle stops or reduces
speed (for example when ap-
proaching a stop sign), the gearbox
changes down automatically to fi rst
gear.
- In sequential mode, it is not nec- essary to release the accelerator
during gear changes.
- A request to change gear is ac- cepted only if the engine speed
permits it.
- The SPORT and SNOW modes
do not operate in sequential
mode.

ditions of poor grip.

 appears on the instru-
ment panel.
The gearbox automatically favours a
dynamic driving style.

S appears on the instrument panel. Return to automatic operation

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 (40 km/h) and you
must engage at least:
- 4th gear for manual gearboxes,
- 2nd gear for automatic gearboxes. Displays on the instrument
panel
The programmed information is
grouped together in zone
A of the
instrument panel.
Programming

 Press button 4 to select cruise
control mode " CRUISE ".
Steering wheel switches
The cruise control switches are lo-
cated on the left-hand side of the
steering wheel. The selection is confi rmed by the
display of the function in zone
A of
the instrument panel.
When the function is selected, no
cruising speed has yet been
memorised. Once the desired speed has been
reached using the accelerator, press
button
1 or button 2 . The cruising
speed is then memorised and cruise
control is activated. The cruising
speed is displayed in zone A of the
instrument panel, and "ON" is dis-
played.
Adjustment of the memorised
speed while cruise control is
in operation
You can adjust the memorised
speed, displayed in zone A , by
pressing:
- Button 1 to increase the speed.
- Button 2 to reduce the speed.
Successive presses will modify the
cruise speed in steps of 1 mph and a
continuous press in steps of 5 mph.
You can then release the accelera-
tor pedal. The vehicle will automati-
cally keep to the speed chosen.
The vehicle speed may vary slightly
from that memorised.
If during cruise control the system
cannot keep to the cruise speed
(e.g. on a steep descent), then the
speed fl ashes. If necessary, brake to
curb your speed.

D R I V I N G Cruise control must only be
used where the traffi c con-
ditions permit driving at a
constant speed.
Do not use it on congested roads
or when the weather or the road
conditions are poor.
The driver still has to remain atten-
tive and in complete control of his
vehicle.
You are recommended to keep your
feet within range of the pedals.
Overriding the programmed
speed
While cruise control is in operation,
it is always possible to go above the
programmed speed simply by press-
ing the accelerator pedal (for exam-
ple to overtake another vehicle).
The speed displayed in zone
A
fl ashes.
You only have to release the ac-
celerator pedal to return to the pro-
grammed speed.
Suspension/Resumption

 Either by pressing the brake
pedal or the clutch pedal.

 Or by pressing button 3 .

 Or by the ESP or ASR systems
being active.
For vehicles with a manual gearbox,
cruise control is deactivated if the
gear lever is in neutral. Reactivation
-
By recalling the memorised
speed
After deactivation, press button 3 .
Your vehicle automatically returns
to the memorised cruising speed.
The memorised speed and "ON"
are displayed in zone A .
If the memorised cruising speed is higher than the current speed,
the vehicle will accelerate strong-
ly to reach the current speed.
- By selecting the current speed
Press button 1 or 2 once the de-
sired speed has been reached.
The new speed and "ON" will
appear in zone A .
Return to normal driving

 Press on button 5 .

 Select the cruise control function.

 Or stop the engine.
The speed that was chosen is no
longer memorised.

"PAUSE" will be displayed in zone

A of the instrument panel.
These actions do not cancel the
cruising speed which remains dis-
played on the instrument panel. Operating fault

sage is displayed accompanied by
a sound signal and lighting of the

SERVICE warning lamp.

Brake pads Brake wear depends on
the style of driving, par-
ticularly in the case of ve-
hicles 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
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no
oil change).
Automatic gearbox The gearbox does not re-
quire 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 ef-
fectiveness 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 qual-
ity and specifi cations.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
system, CITROËN selects and of-
fers very specifi c products.
To avoid damaging the electrical
units, the use of a high pressure
washer in the engine compartment
is strictly prohibited .
Refer to the Maintenance and
Warranty Guide for the details of the
checking interval for this component.
