WIPERS STALK
Windscreen wipers
Wiping is only active when the ignition key is
in the RUNNING position.
The stalk may have four different positions.
Three speeds can be selected by turning the
ring.
To change the blades, refer to the
"Changing a wiper blade" section of
chapter 7.
Good practice
Check that the windscreen wiper blades can
operate freely when using the wipers in icy
weather.
Intermittent.
Slow continuous.
Fast continuous.
Single wipe: by pushing up.
Windscreen wash

alone is activated.
Hold the stalk down, the windscreen wash
is accompanied by a timed sweep of the
wipers. To top up the levels, refer to the
"Levels" section of chapter 7.
Rear wiper
This is positioned on the window
of the large rear door.
Turn the ring.
Rear screen wash
The rear screen wash is incorporated next to
the third brake light.

Steering wheel controls
Changing the programmed speed
There are two methods
of memorising a speed
higher than the previous
one:
Without using the accelerator:
- 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).
Using the accelerator:
- exceed the memorised speed until the speed required is reached,
- move the switch up (+) or down (-).
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).
Switching the function off
- Place the ring in the OFF position or switch
off the ignition to switch everything off.
Cancelling the programmed reference speed
When the vehicle becomes stationary, after
switching off the ignition, the system no
longer memorises a speed.
Operating fault
The programmed speed is cleared then
replaced by dashes. Contact a CITROËN
dealer to have the system checked.
Good practice
When changing the programmed reference
speed by means of a maintained press,
pay attention as the speed can increase or
decrease rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads or in heavy traffic.
In the event of a steep slope, the cruise
control cannot prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
In any event, the cruise control cannot
replace the need to observe the speed
limits, nor can it replace the need for
vigilance and responsibility on the part of the
driver.
It is advisable to leave your feet near the
pedals.
To avoid any jamming under the pedals:
- ensure that the mat and its fixings on the floor are positioned correctly,
- never place one mat on top of another.

Steering wheel controls
Exceeding the programmed speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal in order to
exceed the programmed speed will have
no effect unless you press the pedal firmly
beyond the point of resistance .
The limiter is deactivated temporarily and
the programmed speed flashes.
To return to the limiter function, reduce your
speed to below the programmed speed.
Flashing of the speed
The speed flashes:
- following forcing of the accelerator point of resistance,
- when the limiter cannot prevent an increase in the vehicle speed due to the
profile of the road or on a steep descent,
- in the event of sharp acceleration.
Switching the function off
- Place the ring in the OFF position or
switch off the ignition to switch the
system off.
The last programmed speed remains in the
memory.
Operating fault
The programmed speed is cleared then
replaced by dashes.
Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the
system checked.
Good practice
In any event, the speed limiter cannot
replace the need to observe speed limits,
nor can it replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the driver.
Always pay attention to the profile of the
road and sharp acceleration and stay in
complete control of your vehicle.
To avoid any jamming under the pedals:
- ensure that the mat and its fixings on the floor are positioned correctly,
- never place one mat on top of another.

Mirrors and windows
ELECTRIC WINDOWS
Electric controls
The electric windows have a safety auto-
reverse function and are associated with
one-touch controls for lowering and raising.
From the driver ’s seat, the controls placed
on the door operate the vehicle’s front
windows.
On the passenger ’s side, the control
operates the passenger ’s front window.
One-touch controls
An extended press on the control raises or
lowers the window completely.
Press the control again to stop the window.
Press the control briefly to trigger the
movement of the window.
Manual controls
Turn the window winder located on the door
trim pad.
Good practice
Always remove the key from the ignition
when leaving the vehicle, even for a short
time.
If the electric window meets an obstacle
during operation, you must reverse the
movement of the window. To do this, press
the control concerned.
When the driver operates the passenger
electric window controls, he must ensure
that no one is preventing correct closing of
the windows.
The driver must ensure that the passenger
uses the electric window correctly.
Be aware of children when operating the
windows.
REAR WINDOWS (COMBI)
To partially open the rear windows, tilt the
lever and push it fully to lock the windows in
the open position.

READY TO SET OFF
Gearbox and steering wheel
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.
