  AUTOMATIC ILLUMINATION OF HEADLAMPS 
 
 
Activation
 
Turn the ring to this position. 
The lamps are switched off 
automatically when the ignition is 
switched off.      
Do not cover the sunshine sensor at 
the top centre of the windscreen.  
GUIDE-ME-HOME LIGHTING
 
 
Ignition off or key in the STOP position. 
  Within 2 minutes after switching off the 
engine, position the ignition key in the 
STOP position or remove it. 
  Pull the lighting stalk towards the steering 
wheel.     
The indicator lamp comes on in 
the instrument panel. 
  Each action on the lighting stalk, 
pulled towards the steering 
wheel, prolongs the guide me home 
lighting by 30 seconds up to approximately 
3 minutes. When this time has elapsed, the 
lamps are switched off automatically. 
  Deactivate this control by keeping the stalk 
pulled towards the steering wheel for more 
than 2 seconds.  
    If your vehicle is fitted with this function: 
when you leave your vehicle, the dipped 
beam headlamps remain on for the selected 
duration (when leaving a car park for 
example).  
   
To set the sensitivity of the sensor, 
refer to "Mode" in chapter 4  
     
If your vehicle is fitted with this function, the 
dipped beam headlamps are switched on 
automatically if the light is poor. 
  In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor may 
detect sufficient light. Therefore, the lamps 
will not be switched on automatically. If 
necessary, you must switch on the dipped 
beam headlamps manually. 
  They are switched off when the light returns 
to a sufficient level.

  Leaving the lighting on for long periods may 
significantly reduce the state of charge of 
your vehicle's battery.    
 
Travelling abroad 
  If using your vehicle in a country 
that drives on the other side of the road, 
the headlamps must be adjusted to avoid 
dazzling on-coming drivers. 
  Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.

CRUISE CONTROL 
 
 
"This is the speed at which the driver wishes 
to travel". 
  This aid to driving in free-flowing traffic 
conditions enables the vehicle to maintain a 
constant speed programmed by the driver, 
except when a considerable load is carried 
on a steep gradient. 
  In order to be programmed or activated, 
the vehicle speed must be greater than 
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h), with at 
least 4th gear engaged. 
  Function selected. 
  Function deactivated.     If your vehicle is fitted with cruise control, 
this is displayed on the instrument panel by 
an indicator located in the rev counter.

5th gear engaged. 
  Move the control upwards (+), for 
approximately one second, to store this 
speed. 
  Release the pressure on the accelerator 
pedal, the vehicle will maintain this speed.  
 
 
Switching off / deactivating the 
function 
  Press the brake or clutch pedal or place 
the dial in the  OFF 
 position, the indicator is 
switched off. 
  If the ESP or ASR comes into operation, 
the cruise control function is deactivated

of brief presses, or continuously by 
pressing and holding the control 
upwards (+ sign), 
Temporarily exceeding theprogrammed speed 
  When the cruise control is active, it is 
still possible to exceed the programmed 
speed by pressing the accelerator pedal (to 
overtake another vehicle for example).  
   
-   decrease the speed continuously 
by pressing and holding the control 
downwards (- sign).

Good practice 
 
When changing the programmed reference 
speed by pressing and holding the control, 
take care as the speed may increase or 
decrease rapidly. 
  Do not use the cruise control on slippery 
roads or in heavy traffic. 
  On a steep gradient, the cruise control will 
not be able to prevent the vehicle from 
exceeding the programmed speed. 
  The cruise control cannot, in any 
circumstances, replace the need to comply 
with speed limits nor can it replace the need 
for vigilance and responsibility on the part 
of driver. 
  It is advisable to leave your feet near the 
pedals. 
  To prevent the mat from becoming caught 
under the pedals: 
   
 
-   ensure that the mat is positioned 
correctly, 
   
-   never fit one mat on top of another.  
 
Cancelling the programmed speed 
 
When the vehicle stops, after the ignition is 
switched off, the system no longer stores 
any speed.  
Operating fault 
 
In the event of a malfunction, the function is 
switched off and the indicator switches off. 
  Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the 
system checked.

Air distribution
 
A press illuminates the LED on the buttons 
which distribute the air flow towards: 
  the windscreen and front side 
window vents (demisting/
defrosting the windows), 
  the central and side vents (chest 
and face), 
  the vents in the front and rear 
areas (feet). 
  The combination of buttons permits 
improvement of air distribution.  
Air flow 
 
Successive presses of this button 
increase (+) or reduce (-) the 
force of the air flow to the interior.  
 
 
Intake of exterior air/
recirculation of interior air 
  When the LED is on, the air 
recirculates inside the passenger 
compartment to prevent the entry of exterior 
odours and smoke. This position should be 
temporary. 
  When the ambient air comfort level has been 
reached, pressing the button switches the 
LED off and reopens the exterior air intake. 
  Pressing the  AUTO 
 button also restores 
the intake of exterior air. Returning to this 
position permits renewal of the air in the 
passenger compartment and demisting.
