AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
Automatic gearbox which offers a
choice between the ease of fully
automatic operation or the driving
pleasure of manual gear changing.
Therefore, you have a choice of two
d r i v i n g m o d e s :
- automatic operation for elec-
tronic control of the gears by the
gearbox,
- manual operation for sequen-
tial changing of the gears by the
driver.
a u t o m a t i c m o d e : s e l e c t o r 1 in
position D ,
s e q u e n t i a l m o d e : s e l e c t o r 1 in
position M . The position of the selector is dis-
played on the instrument panel, on
the left on multifunction screens
A
and C , on the right on the NaviDrive
multifunction screen.
A position grille relating to the selec-
tor allows you to view the position
that is selected. F o r s a f e t y :
- position
P can be disen-
gaged only if you press
the brake pedal,
- when a door is opened, a sound signal is heard if the selector is
not in position P ,
- always make sure that the se- lector is in position P before
you leave your vehicle.
If the gearbox is in position P but
the position of the selector is differ-
ent, reposition the selector on P so
that you can start the vehicle.

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
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
t h e e n g i n e i s r u n n i n g :
reposition the selector in position P ,
put your foot on the brake ped-
al 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 stationary.
To prevent snatching, do not
accelerate too soon after se-
lection.
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
m a n u a l l y : t h e v e h i c l e s p e e d m u s t b e
at least 25 mph (approx. 40 km/h)
a n d y o u m u s t e n g a g e :
- 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 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
p r e s s i n g o n :
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.

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

The oil must correspond to your en-
gine and conform to the manufactur-
er's recommendations.

Coolant level
Draining the system
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, un-
screw the cap by two turns to al-
low 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.

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

The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no
oil change).

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 qual-
i t y a n d s p e c i fi c a t i o n s .

of units as important as the braking
system, CITROËN selects and of-

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

The GTW and towed load values indicated apply up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned
must be reduced by 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of a ltitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 100 km/h (approx. 60 mph) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High exterior temperatures may result in a reduction in the perf ormance of the vehicle in order to protect the engine; when
the exterior temperature is higher than 37 °C, limit the wei ght towed.
