Headlamp beam
You are advised to adjust the height of the
headlamp beams in accordance with the
load in your vehicle.
This function can only be accessed in
the main beam headlamps and dipped
headlamps position. Press these controls, located
on the fascia panel, several
times in succession to adjust the
headlamps.
Fog lamps
The controls are located on the fascia panel
control pad.
Front and rear fog lamps
The fog lamps should only be used in
fog or when snow is falling.
In clear weather or in rain, both day and
night, lit rear fog lamps dazzle and are
prohibited.
Do not forget to switch them off when they
are no longer necessary.
Guide-me-home lighting
The temporary maintaining of the dipped
headlamps, after switching off the vehicle’s
ignition, makes the driver ’s exit easier when
the light is poor and lights the space in front
of the vehicle.
Activation
With the ignition key in the STOP position
or removed, pull the lighting stalk towards
the steering wheel within 2 minutes after
switching off the engine.
Each time the control is operated,
the duration for which the lamps will
remain on is extended by 30 seconds,
up to a maximum of 210 seconds. Once this
period of time has elapsed, the lamps switch
off automatically.
Deactivation
Pull the lighting stalk towards the steering
wheel for more than 2 seconds.
The front fog lamps operate with
the side lights and the dipped
headlamps.
The rear fog lamps operate with
the dipped headlamps.
Press one of these controls to switch on the
lights. The warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by a message
on the display, the first time
the control is operated and
remains on until the function is deactivated
automatically. An indicator light on the display
indicates the adjustment position
selected (0, 1, 2, 3).

light.
Function deactivated,
OFF (example at 107 km/h). Function activated
(example at 107 km/h).
Vehicle speed above (e.g. 118 km/h),
the programmed speed is displayed flashing.
This cruise control shows the function
selection status on the instrument panel and
displays the programmed speed:
CRUISE CONTROL "CRUISE"
"This is the speed at which the
driver wishes to drive".
This aid to driving in free-flowing
traffic enables the vehicle to maintain the
speed programmed by the driver, unless a
steep gradient makes this impossible.
In order for it to be programmed or
activated, the vehicle speed must be greater
than 25 mph (40 km/h) with at least 4th gear
engaged on the manual gearbox (second on
the piloted manual gearbox). Operating fault detected,
OFF - the dashes flash.

SPEED LIMITER "LIMIT"
"This is the selected speed which
the driver does not wish to exceed".
This selection is made with the
engine running while stationary or with the
vehicle moving. The minimum speed which
can be programmed is 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed of the vehicle responds to the
pressure of the driver ’s foot as far as the
accelerator pedal point of resistance which
indicates that the programmed speed has
been reached.
However, pressing the pedal beyond this
point of resistance to the floor permits
exceeding of the programmed speed. To
resume use of the limiter, simply reduce
the pressure on the accelerator pedal
gradually and return to a speed below that
programmed.
The operating actions may be carried out
when stationary, with the engine running,
or with the vehicle moving.
This speed limiter shows the function
selection status on the instrument panel and
displays the programmed speed:

- Place the ring in the LIMIT position.
The limiter is selected but is not yet
active. The display indicates the last
programmed speed.
Programming a speed
A speed can be programmed without
activating the limiter but with the engine
running.
To memorise a speed higher than the
previous one:
- move the switch up (+).
A brief press increases the speed by 1 mph
(km/h).
A maintained press increases the speed in
steps of 5 mph (km/h).
To memorise a speed lower than the
previous one:
- move the switch down (-).
A brief press decreases the speed by
1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press decreases the speed in
steps of 5 mph (km/h).
Activation/Deactivation (off)
Pressing this button once activates the
limiter, pressing the button again
deactivates it (OFF).

Gearbox and steering wheel
PILOTED MANUAL GEARBOX
The five-speed piloted manual gearbox
offers a choice between the comfort of
automatic regulation or the pleasure of
manual gear changing.
This gearbox enables you to access two
driving modes:
- an automated mode for automatic control of the gears by the gearbox and therefore
without any action on the part of the
driver,
- a sequential mode for manual changing of the gears by the driver using the gear
lever.
It consists of a gear lever 1 on the centre
console for selecting the driving mode,
reverse gear and neutral or for changing
gear in sequential mode.
N : neutral.
With your foot on the brake, select this
position to start.
R : reverse gear.
With the vehicle stationary, keep your foot
on the brake pedal and push the gear lever
upwards.
A : automated mode.
Move the lever downwards to select this
mode.
M +/- : sequential mode with manual gear
changing.
Move the lever downwards, then to the left
to select this mode, then:
- push forward to change up,
- push rearward to change down.
Moving off
Select position N .
Press the brake pedal firmly while
starting the engine.
Start the engine. "N" appears on the
instrument panel display.
Select first gear (position M or A ) or reverse
(position R ).
Release the handbrake.
Release the brake pedal then accelerate.
"AUTO" and "1" or "R" appear on the
instrument panel display.
It is possible to move off in 2nd gear,
in sequential mode only.

Stopping - Starting on a slope
This gearbox is a piloted manual gearbox
which does not have a clutch pedal.
Do not use the accelerator pedal to
immobilise the vehicle on a slope, apply
the handbrake instead.
When moving off on a slope, accelerate
gradually while releasing the handbrake.
Switching to sequential mode
Once you have moved off, you can switch to
sequential mode by selecting position M .
Switching to automated mode
After using the sequential mode, you can
return to the automated mode by selecting
position A .
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can:
- move to position N to leave the gearbox
in neutral,
- leave a gear engaged, such as first or reverse.
In both cases, it is imperative that you apply
the handbrake to immobilise the vehicle.
Reinitialisation
Following disconnection of the battery, the
gearbox must be reinitialised:
- switch on the ignition, "AUTO" appears
on the instrument panel display,
- press the brake pedal,
- wait approximately 30 seconds until "N"
or a gear appears on the instrument
panel display,
- release the brake pedal.
The gearbox is operational again.
Operating anomaly
"AUTO" and the gear engaged
appear on the instrument panel
display.
The gearbox then operates in
auto-active mode, without any action on the
part of the driver.
It continuously selects the gear most suited
to the following parameters:
- driving style,
- road characteristics,
- vehicle load.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain the
most suitable gear, avoid sharp variations in
the pressure on the accelerator pedal.
If you press the accelerator pedal beyond
the point of resistance, the gearbox
selects the gear below to permit sharper
acceleration.
"AUTO" disappears and the
gears engaged appear in
succession on the instrument
panel display.
The gear change requests are only carried
out if the engine speed permits it.
Take your foot off the accelerator pedal
gently to engage the gear.
At low speeds, when approaching a stop
or traffic lights for example, the gearbox
changes down to first gear automatically. With the ignition on, the flashing
of
"AUTO" and lighting of this
warning light, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message
on the instrument panel display, indicate a
gearbox malfunction.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer. The brake pedal must be pressed while
starting the engine.
Never select neutral N while the vehicle is
moving.
Only engage reverse gear R with the vehicle
immobilised and the brake pedal pressed.
In all cases, it is imperative that you apply
the handbrake in order to immobilise the
vehicle.
On a steep gradient, it is preferable to
switch to sequential mode.
