DRIVING
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) and the en-
gaging of at least 4th gear.
The controls of this system are grouped
together on control stalk A
. The programmed information is grouped
together in the instrument panel screen.
Steering mounted controls
Displays in the instrument panel
The cruise control 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. The cruise control is switched off
man-
ually or by pressing the brake or clutch
pedal or on triggering of the ESP sys-
tem 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
Brake fluid level
Oil level
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.
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 servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
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
ignition 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.
Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up or replaced with plain water.
Engine oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of 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 grade
The oil must be suitable for your engine
and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
meet the DOT4 standard.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be changed.
Screenwash fluid level
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop. 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.
Top up the level when necessary.
Take care when carrying out
checks under the bonnet as
some parts of the engine can be
very hot (risk of burns).
It is normal to top up the engine oil
between services. CITROËN rec-
ommends that you check the oil
level and top up if necessary, every
3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres).

CHECKS
Only use products recommended
by CITROËN or products of equiv-
alent quality and specifi cation.
In order to optimise the opera-
tion of units as important as
the braking system, CITROËN
selects and offers very specifi c
products.
To avoid damaging the electrical
units, the use of a high pressure
washer in the engine compart-
ment is strictly prohibited
.
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 quali-
fi ed workshop.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the servicing booklet for
the details of the level checking
interval for this component.
For information on checking
brake disc wear, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Brake disc wear
Brake wear depends on the
style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles 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.
Brake pads
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the checking in-
terval for this component.
Gearbox, electronic
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the
particle fi lter is indicated by
the temporary illumination
of this warning lamp accompanied by a
message in the multi-function screen.
As soon as the traffi c conditions per-
mit, regenerate the fi lter by driving at a
speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until
the warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indi-
cates a low additive level.
On a new vehicle, the fi rst par-
ticle fi lter regeneration opera-
tions may be accompanied by
a "burning" smell, which is per-
fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation
of the vehicle at very low speed
or at idle, you may, in excep-
tional circumstances, notice the
emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This
does not affect the behaviour of
the vehicle or the environment.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it
does not block traffi c: the ground
must be level, stable and non-
slippery.
Apply the parking brake, switch
off the ignition and engage fi rst
gear to lock the wheels.
If necessary, place a chock un-
der the wheel diagonally oppo-
site the wheel to be changed.
You must ensure that the occu-
pants get out of the vehicle and
wait where they are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle
raised using a jack; use an axle
stand.
