Instruments and controls After this operation, if you wish to
disconnect the battery, lock the vehicle
and wait for at least five minutes, otherwise
the zero re-set will not be registered.
Zero re-set
Your CITROËN dealer carries out this
operation after each service.
However, if you carry out the service
yourself, the re-set procedure is as follows:
- switch off the ignition,
- press and hold the trip recorder reset
button,
- switch on the ignition.
The display begins a countdown.
When the display shows "=0" , release the
button; the spanner disappears.
Engine oil level indicator
When the ignition is switched on, the engine
oil level is indicated for a few seconds, after
the service information. Oil level correct
Lack of oil
Flashing of
"OIL" , linked
with the service warning
light, accompanied by
an audible signal and a
message on the display, indicates a lack of
oil which could damage the engine.
If the lack of oil is confirmed by a check
using the dipstick, it is essential that the
level is topped up.
Oil level gauge fault
Flashing of "OIL--"
indicates a malfunction
of the engine oil level
gauge. Consult a
CITROËN dealer.
The level read will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and the
engine has been off for more than
15 minutes. Dipstick
A = maximum, never exceed
this level as a surplus of oil may
damage the engine.
Contact a CITROËN dealer
without delay.
B = minimum, top up the level via
the oil filler cap, using the type of
oil suited to your engine.
Trip recorder zero reset
button
With the ignition on, press the
button until the zeros appear.

With the lights on, press the
button to vary the intensity of
the lighting of the instruments
and controls. When the
lighting reaches the minimum (or maximum)
setting, release the button then press it
again to increase (or reduce) the brightness.
As soon as the lighting is of the required
brightness, release the button.

are no longer needed.
Automatic switching on of the lights switches
off the rear fog lamps, but the front fog
lamps remain on. Daytime lights
Depending on the country in which the
vehicle is sold, the vehicle may be equipped
with daytime lights. The dipped headlamps
come on when the vehicle is started.
The instruments and controls
(instrument panel, display, air
conditioning control panel, ...) are only lit
on switching to the automatic switching on
of the lights mode or when the lights are
switched on manually.

Automatic switching on of the lights Activation
Turn the ring to the AUTO position. The
activation of this function is accompanied by
a message on the display.
If the brightness sensor does not
function correctly , the lights come on
accompanied by the service warning light,
an audible signal and a message on the
display.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
HEADLAMP BEAM
Depending on the load in your vehicle,
the beam setting must be adjusted.
0 - 1 or 2 people in the front seats.
1 - 5 people.
2 - 6 to 9 people.
3 - Driver + maximum authorised loads.
Do not cover the brightness sensor
located on the windscreen, behind the
mirror. It is used for the automatic switching
on of the lights and for the automatic wipers. The side lights and dipped
beam headlamps switch
on automatically if the light
is poor, or during operation
of the windscreen wipers. They switch off as
soon as the light becomes bright enough or
the windscreen wipers stop.
This function is not compatible with the
daytime lights. Deactivation
Turn the ring forwards or rearwards. The
deactivation of this function is accompanied
by a message on the display.
The function is deactivated temporarily when
you use the manual lights stalk.
Initial setting is position 0.
In foggy weather or in snow, the
brightness sensor can detect sufficient
light. As a consequence, the lights will
not come on automatically. If necessary,
you must switch on the dipped headlamps
manually.

Special position of the windscreen wipers
In the minute following switching off of the
ignition, any action on the stalk positions the
wipers against the windscreen uprights. This action enables you to position the
wiper blades for winter parking, cleaning or
replacement.
Refer to the "Changing a windscreen
wiper blade" section of chapter 7.
To park the wipers in their normal position
after this has been done, switch on the
ignition and move the stalk.
When using an automatic car wash,
switch off the ignition to avoid
triggering of the automatic wiping.
In winter, it is advisable to wait for the
windscreen to completely clear of ice before
operating the automatic wipe.
Rear windscreen wiper
Turn the ring to the first notch.
Rear windscreen wash
Turn the ring past the first notch:
the windscreen wash then the
windscreen wiper operate for a
fixed time.
In winter, in the event of a considerable
amount of snow or ice, switch on the
rear screen demister. Once de-icing is
complete, remove the snow or ice which has
accumulated on the rear wiper blade. You
can then operate the rear windscreen wiper.
Activation
Press the control downwards. Activation of
the function is accompanied by a message
on the display.
The automatic windscreen wipers function
must be reactivated if the ignition has been
switched off for more than one minute, by
pressing the stalk downwards.
Deactivation/Switching off
Place the windscreen wipers stalk in
position
I , 1 or 2 . Deactivation of the function
is accompanied by a message on the display.
In the event of malfunction of the automatic
windscreen wipers, the windscreen wipers
will operate in intermittent mode.
Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the
system checked.

CRUISE CONTROL "CRUISE"
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. Function selected,
displaying of the "Cruise
Control" symbol.
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.
Operating fault detected,
OFF - the dashes flash.
This cruise control shows the function
selection status on the instrument panel and
displays the programmed speed:
"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.

SPEED LIMITER "LIMIT"
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. Function selected,
displaying of the "Speed
Limiter" symbol.
Function deactivated,
last programmed speed - OFF
(example at 65 mph
107 km/h).
Function activated
(example at 65 mph
107 km/h).
Vehicle speed above
(example 70 mph
118 km/h),
the programmed speed
is displayed flashing.
Operating fault detected,
OFF - the dashes flash.
This speed limiter shows the function
selection status on the instrument panel and
displays the programmed speed:
The operating actions may be carried out
when stationary, with the engine running,
or with the vehicle moving.
"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.

the limiter but with the engine running.
To memorise a speed higher than the previous one:
- press the Set + button.
A brief press increases the speed by
1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press increases the speed in
steps of 5 mph (km/h).

Ventilation
AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING WITH SEPARATE ADJUSTMENTS
Good practice
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible to exceed
the value 15 by turning until LO is displayed or
the value 27 by turning until HI is displayed.
For optimum comfort, the difference between
the value displayed for the driver and for the
passenger should not be greater than 3.
If your vehicle is fitted with this control
panel, it is located on the centre console.
On entering the vehicle, the inside
temperature may be much colder (or
warmer) than is comfortable. There is no
advantage in changing the value displayed
in order to quickly reach the level of comfort
required. The system will use its maximum
performance to reach the comfort value set.
