To start the engine, press the
brake pedal and place the selec-
tor in position P .
Operate 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 ac-
celerate.
If the selector is not in position P ,
a message "place automatic
gearbox 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 po-
sition (towards R ), then push it
forwards and then to the left.
To exit position P , move the se-
lector 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, po-
sition N is engaged inadvertently,
allow the engine to idle before en-
gaging position D or M .
This position of the selector
is used to prevent the vehi-
cle from moving when you
are stationary.

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 au-
tomatic gearbox,
- position A on an electronic gear-
box or D on an automatic gearbox.
Steering wheel controls
The cruise control switches are lo-
cated 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 accelerator
pedal. The vehicle will automatically
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 using the accelerator, press
button 2 or button 4 . The cruise
speed is then memorised. It is dis-
played in zone A of the instrument
panel. These actions cause
the information
"OFF"
to appear on the instru-
ment panel display.
These actions do
not cancel the cruise
speed which remains
displayed in the instru-
ment panel.
The cruise control cannot, in any circum-
stances, take the place of the observ-
ance of speed limits or of the vigilance
and responsibility of the driver.

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

corresponding system checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
Take care when working under the
bonnet, as some parts of the engine
can be extremely hot (risk of burns).
Oil level
Oil change
Refer to the Maintenance and
Warranty Guide for details of the in-
terval 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 manufacturer's
recommendations.
Brake fluid level

Warranty Guide for details of the in-
terval for this operation.

Coolant level
Coolant change
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.
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 regu-
lated by the fan. This can operate 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, un-
screw the cap by two turns to allow
the pressure to drop. When the pres-
sure 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.

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
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
that the brake pads are worn.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no
oil change).
6 - s p e e d e l e c t r o n i c g e a r
control gearbox
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
For information relating to
checking the brake disc
wear, contact a CITROËN
dealer.
Parking brake
If a loss of effectiveness of this sys-
tem is noticed, the parking brake
must be checked, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a
CITROËN dealer. Only use products recom-
mended by CITROËN or
products of equivalent quality
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 offers

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