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 (approximately
40 km/h) and you must engage:


- fourth gear on a manual gearbox,

- second gear, in manual mode,
on an electronic or automatic
gearbox,

- position A
on an electronic gear-
box or D
on an automatic gearbox.


Steering mounted 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 screen.

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
in the instrument panel screen by
pressing:


)
button 4
to increase the speed,

)
button 2
to decrease the speed.
Successive presses modify the
cruise speed in steps of 1 mph
(1 km/h) and a sustained press in
steps of 3 mph (5 km/h).


Deactivation



)
Either by pressing the brake or
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 4
. The cruise speed is
then memorised. It is displayed in
zone A
of the instrument panel. These actions cause
the information "OFF"

to appear in the instru-
ment panel screen.
These actions do not
cancel the cruise speed
which remains displayed in the instrument panel.

The cruise control cannot, in any circum-
stances, take the place of the obser-
vance of speed limits or of the vigilance
and responsibility of the driver.

CHECKS















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
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.







Manual gearbox

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






6-speed electronic
gearbox system
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no
oil change).






Automatic gearbox

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

Brake disc wear

For information on checking
brake disc wear, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.






















Electric parking brake

This system does not require any
routine servicing. However, in the
event of a problem, have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
For more information, see "Driving -
Electric parking brake - § Operating
faults". Refer to the servicing booklet for the
details of the level checking interval
for this component.
Refer to the servicing booklet for de-
tails of the checking interval for this
component.

the parking brake (a message
and a warning lamp appear in
the instrument panel).
Switch off the ignition and en-
gage fi rst gear or reverse gear
depending on the slope (position
P
if an automatic gearbox, D
or
R
if a 6-speed electronic gear-
box).

)
Use a chock to secure the vehi-
cle more safely. Place the chock
9
in front of the wheel opposite
the punctured wheel.
)
Detach the trim using the remov-
ing tool 4
, pulling in the area of

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
12 V BATTERY
Procedure for starting the engine
using another battery or for charging
your fl at battery.


The Stop & Start battery does not
have to be disconnected for charging.







The presence of this label, in
particular with the Stop & Start
system, indicates the use of
a 12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specifi cation;
the involvement of a CITROËN deal-
er or a qualifi ed workshop is essential
when replacing or disconnecting the
battery.

After refi tting the battery, the Stop &
Start system will only be active after
a continuous period of immobilisa-
tion of the vehicle, a period which
depends on the climatic conditions
and the state of charge of the bat-
tery (up to about 8 hours).

*
or position P
for an automatic gear-
box.


Access to the battery

Before doing any work
Immobilise the vehicle: ap-
ply the parking brake, put
the gearbox in neutral * , then switch
off the ignition.
Check that all electrical equipment
is switched off.


Check that the battery posts and
terminals are clean. If they are
covered with sulphate (white or
green deposit), disconnect them
and clean them.

Batteries contain harmful
substances such as sul-
phuric acid and lead. They
must be disposed of in accordance
with regulations and must not, in
any circumstances, be discarded
with household waste.
Take used cell batteries and vehi-
cle batteries to an authorised col-
lection point.
The battery is located under the
bonnet.
For access to the (+) terminal:


)
Release the bonnet using the
interior lever, then the exterior
safety catch,

)
raise the bonnet and secure it
with its stay,

)
lift the plastic cover for access to
the (+) terminal.
