System which prevents the vehicle fromexceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached, pressing the accelerator pedal no longer has
any effect.





Speed limiter

The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to respect speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance andresponsibility on the par t of the driver.
The functions of this system are grouped
together on the steering mounted controls.

Operation

The speed limiter is switched onmanually:
it requires a programmed speed of at least
20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched offby manual foperation of the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly
beyond the point of resistance.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
The pro
grammed speed remains in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.

) Turn dial 1
to the "LIMIT"
position: the
speed limiter mode is selected but is not
switched on
(Pause). You do not have to switch the speed limiter on
in order to set the speed.) Set the speed value by pressing button 2or 3(e.g.: 55 mph (90 km/h)).
Programming
You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 2
and 3:- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = shor t press,
- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.
If speed memorisation is available and activated on your vehicle, theprogrammed speed will stop at the closest memorised speed; refer to thecorresponding paragraph. )Switch the speed limiter on by pressing button 4 . )Switch the speed limiter off by pressing button 4: the display confirms that it has been switched off (Pause).)Switch the speed limiter back on by pressing button 4
again.

Exceeding the programmed speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed speed will not have any effect unless you press the pedal firmlypast the ypoint of resistance
.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the programmed speed,
which is still displayed, flashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or unintentional
deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing of the programmed speed.
On a steep descent or in the event of sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will not be able to prevent the vehiclefrom exceeding the programmed speed. To a v o i d a ny risk of jamming of the pedals:


- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,

- do not fit one mat on top of another.



Exiting the speed limiter mode
)Turn dial 1to the "0"
position: the speed
limiter mode is deselected. It disappears
from the screen.



Operating fault

In the event of a fault with the speed limiter,
the speed is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Displays in the instrument panel


Operation

The cruise control is switched on
manually: it
requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40 km/h) and engagement of:


- fourth gear on the manual gearbox,

- second gear on the electronic gearbox system or automatic gearbox, in sequentialdriving mode,

- position A
on the electronic gearboxsystem or Don an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off
manually for by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or
on triggering of the ESP system for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator
pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value.

Programming
)Turn dial 1 to the "CRUISE"
position: thecruise control mode is selected but is not
switched on (Pause).)Set the programmed speed by accelerating
to the required speed, then press button 2or 3(e.g.: 70 mph (11 0 k m / h)); the cruisecontrol system is activated (ON).
You can then chan
ge the programmed speed using buttons 2 and 3
:
- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = shor t press,
- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.
If storing speeds is available and activated on your vehicle, theprogrammed speed will stop at the closest stored speed; refer to thecorresponding section.)Stop the cruise control system by pressing button 4: this isconfirmed in the screen (Pause).
)Switch on the cruise control again with another press on button 4 .
Exceeding the programmed speed
Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the programmed speed results in
flashing of this speed in the screen.
Return to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or unintentional
deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing of the speed.
Exiting cruise control mode
)Turn dial 1
to the "0"
position: the cruise control mode is deselected.
It disappears from the screen.



Operating fault

In the event of a cruise control malfunction,
the speed is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

When the cruise control is switched on, be careful if you maintain the pressure on one of the programmed speed changingbuttons: this may result in a very rapidchange in the speed of your vehicle. Do not use the cruise control on slippery roads or in heavy traffic. On a steep descent, the cruise control will not be able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed. On steep climbs or when towing, the programmed speed may not be reached or maintained. To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:- ensure that the mat is positionedcorrectly,- never fit one mat on top of another.

Driving





Parking sensors

This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) which comes within the field of detection of sensorslocated in the bumper.
Cer tain types of obstacle (stake, roadworkscone, etc.) detected initially will no longer bedetected at the end of the manoeuvre due to
the presence of blind spots.


This function cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the vigilance and responsibility of the driver.The s
ystem is switched on by engaging reversegear. This is accompanied by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you exit reverse gear.
Rear parking sensors
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by anintermittent audible signal, the frequency of whichincreases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)indicates the side on which the obstacle is located. When the distance between the vehicle andthe obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomescontinuous.



Visual assistance

This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars in the multifunction screen
which move progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is near, the "Danger" symbol is also displayed in the screen.

Checks

























Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly and top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops si
gnificantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.


Oil level
Engine oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet for the inter val
for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliabilit
y of the engine and emission control system, the use of additives in the engine oil is prohibited.
Oil specifi cation
The oil must correspond to your engineand conform to the manufacturer'srecommendations.



Brake fluid level


Changing the fl uid

Refer to the servicing booklet for the inter valfor this operation.


Fluid specifi cation

The brake fluid must conform to themanufacturer's recommendations and meet
the DOT4 s t a n d a r d . Th
e brake fluid level should be closeto the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
The readin
g will only be correct if the
vehicle is on level ground and the engine has been off for more than 30 minutes.
The check is carried out either when theignition is switched on using the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel, or usingthe dipstick.
When working under the bonnet, take care, as cer tain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns).
It is normal to top up the oil level
between two services. CITROËN recommends that you check the oillevel, and top up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres).

Fitting a steel or "space-saver" spare wheel

If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, when tightening the bolts onfitting it is normal to notice that thewashers do not come into contact with the steel or "space-saver" spare wheel.The wheel is secured by the conical contact of each bolt.


List of operations
)Put the wheel in place on the hub. )Screw in the bolts by hand to the stop.
)Pre-tighten the security bolt using the
wheelbrace 1fitted with the security socket 4.)Pre-tighten the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1only.
After changing a wheel
To store the punctured wheel in the boot correctly, first remove the centralcover. When using the "space-saver" typespare wheel, do not exceed 50 mph(80 km/h). Have the tightening of the bolts and thepressure of the spare wheel checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop without delay. Have the punctured wheel repaired andreplace it on the vehicle as soon aspossible.

261Practical information
1.Brake lamps (P21/5W).2.Sidelamps (LEDs).3.Direction indicators (PY21W amber)4.Reversing lamp (P21W).5. Rear foglamps (P21W).
Rear lamps
Amber bulbs, such as those for thedirection indicators, must be replaced by bulbs of the same rating and colour. The lamps on the tailgate, other than the guide lamps, are dummy units. They are there for aestheticpurposes only.
Changing stop lamp, reversing lamp and direction indicator bulbs
These three bulbs are changed from inside the boot:
)
open the boot,)
remove the access grille from thecorresponding side trim panel, )
slacken the two nuts using a 10 mm tube spanner then remove the nuts by hand,)
unclip the lamp unit connector,)
extract the lamp unit carefully pulling in its
middle towards the outside,
) remove the foam seal,)
unclip the two small secondary connectors,)
spread the two tabs and remove the bulb holder, )
turn the bulb a quarter of a turn andchange it.
To reassemble, carry out these operations in
reverse order.
Take care to en
gage the lamp unit in its guides,
while keeping it in line with the vehicle.
Tighten sufficiently to ensure sealing, but
without damaging the lamp.
