Cruise control
System which automatically maintains the
speed of the vehicle at the value programmed
by the driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: it
requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40 km/h), as well as the engagement of:
- four th gear on a manual gearbox,
- second gear on a SensoDrive or automatic
gearbox, in sequential mode,
- position A
on a SensoDrive gearbox or
position D
on an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off
manually
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 accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value. The controls of this system are grouped
together on stalk A

Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly and top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Oil level
Engine oil change
Refer to the Maintenance and Warranty Guide
for details of the inter val 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 grade
The oil must be suitable for your engine
and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Brake fluid level
Changing the fl uid
Refer to the Maintenance and Warranty Guide
for details of the inter val for this operation.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and meet the
DOT4 standard.
The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear. 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 ignition
is switched on using the oil level indicator in the
instrument panel, or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the engine
oil between ser vices. CITROËN
recommends that you check the oil
level and top up if necessary, every
3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres).

Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, par ticularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over shor t
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the system, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn. The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance
Record for the details of the level
checking interval for this component.
Brake disc wear
Manual parking brake
If a loss of effectiveness of this
system is noticed, the parking brake
must be checked, even between two
services.
Checking this system must be done by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as impor tant as the braking
system, CITROËN selects and offers
very specific products.
To avoid damaging the electrical units,
the use of a high pressure washer
in the engine compar tment is strictly
prohibited
.
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance
Record for details of the level checking
interval for this component. For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
SensoDrive gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the Maintenance and
Warranty Guide for details of the
checking interval for this component.
