DRIVING
SPEED LIMITER
System which prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by
the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is
reached, pressing the accelerator pedal in
the normal manner no longer has any effect.
The controls of this system are grouped
together on stalk A .
1. Speed limiter mode selection thumb
wheel
2. Value decrease button
3. Value increase button
4. Speed limiter on/off button The programmed information is
grouped together on the instrument
panel screen.
5. Speed limiter on/off indication
6.

7. Programmed speed value
Steering mounted controls Displays on the instrumen
t panel
The speed limiter 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 speed limiter is
switched on manu-
ally: it requires a programmed speed of
at least 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off by
manual operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator
fi r m l y .
To return to the programmed speed,
simply slow down to a speed below the
programmed speed.
The programmed speed remains in the
memory when the ignition is switched
off.

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 control stalk 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 screen.
5. Cruise control off/resume indication
6. Cruise control mode selection indi-
cation
7. Programmed speed value
Steering mounted controls Displays on the instrumen
t panel
The cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to
respect speed limits, nor can it re-
place the need for vigilance and re-
sponsibility 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
PARKING SENSORS
System comprising four proximity sen-
sors, located in the rear bumper.
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 be-
ginning of the manoeuvre, but may
no longer be detected when the ve-
hicle 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 approaches
the obstacle,
- a graphic on the multifunction screen, with blocks which become
increasingly closer to the vehicle. The parking sensors system can-
not, in any circumstances, take the
place of the vigilance and responsi-
bility 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 screen.
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
using the dipstick. 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.
C h a n g i n g t h e fl u i d
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
ignition off.
O n v e h i c l e s w h i c h a r e fi t t e d w i t h a
p a r t i c l e e m i s s i o n fi l t e r , t h e f a n m a y
operate after the vehicle has been
s w i t c h e d o f f , e v e n i f t h e e n g i n e i s
cold.
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
f r e e z i n g , t h i s fl u i d m u s t n o t b e t o p p e d
up or replaced with water.
Engine oil change
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.
Oil grade
The oil must be suitable for your engine
and conform to the manufacturer's recom-
mendations. F l u i d s p e c i fi c a t i o n
T h e b r a k e fl u i d m u s t c o n f o r m t o t h e
manufacturer's recommendations and
meet the DOT4 standard.
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.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be
changed.
Screenwash fluid level
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
I f a l e v e l d r o p s s i g n i fi c a n t l y , h a v e t h e
corresponding system checked by a
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.
Top up the level when necessary.
Take care when carrying out checks under the bonnet as some parts of
the engine can be very hot (risk of
burns).
