The cruise control system cannot,
in any circumstances, replace
the need to respect speed limits,
nor can it replace the need for
vigilance and responsibility on the
part of the driver.
You are advised to keep your
feet near the pedals at all times.
CRUISE CONTROL

the speed of the vehicle at the value
programmed by the driver, without any
action on the accelerator pedal.
The functions of this system are grouped
together on the steering mounted con-
trols.

Operation
The cruise control is switched on
manually: it requires a minimum ve-
hicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and
engagement of:
- fourth gear on the manual gearbox,
- second gear on the electronic gear-
box system or automatic gearbox, in
sequential driving mode,
-
position A
on the electronic gearbox
system or D
on the automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off
man-
ually or 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 ac-
celerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value.

CHECKS

CHECKING LEVELS
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the corre-
sponding system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
When working under the bon-
net, take care, as certain areas
of the engine may be extremely
hot (risk of burns).
The reading 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 the igni-
tion is switched on using the oil level indicator
in the instrument panel, or using the dipstick.
Oil level
Engine oil change
Refer to the Maintenance and Warranty
Guide for the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability 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 engine
and conform to the manufacturer's rec-
ommendations.
Brake fluid level
The brake fl uid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.
Changing the fl uid
Refer to the Maintenance and Warranty
Guide for the interval for this operation.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
meet the DOT4 standard.
Power steering fluid level
The power steering fl uid level
should be close to the "MAX"
mark. Unscrew the cap, with the
engine cold, to check the level.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the igni-
tion off.
On vehicles which are fi tted with a par-
ticle emission fi lter, the fan may operate
after the vehicle has been switched off,
even if the engine is cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be
changed.
Coolant specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.

TOWING THE VEHICLE
Procedure for having your vehicle towed
or for towing another vehicle using a
removable towing eye.
The towing eye is installed in the boot
under the fl oor.
To gain access to it:
)
open the boot,
)
raise the fl oor,
)
secure it by hooking its cord on the
hook on the rear parcel shelf support,

General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your country.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is higher than that of the towed
vehicle.
The driver must stay at the wheel of the towed vehicle.
Driving on motorways and fast roads is prohibited when towing.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always use an
approved towing bar; rope and straps are prohibited.
When towing a vehicle with the engine off, there is no longer any power
assistance for braking or steering.
In the following cases, you must always call on a professional recovery
service:
- vehicle broken down on a motorway or fast road,
- when it is not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the steering,
or release the parking brake,
- towing with only two wheels on the ground,
- where there is no approved towing bar available...
