DRIVING
Cruise control must only be
used wh e re the traffi c condi-
tions permit driving at a con-
stant speed .
Do not use it on congested roads
or when the weather or the road
conditions are poor .
The driver must remain attentive
and in complete control of the ve-
hicle .
You are recommended to keep your
feet within range of the pedals .
Overriding the programmed
speed
While cruise control is in operation, it is
always possible to go above the pro-
grammed speed simply by pressing
the accelerator pedal (for example to
overtake another vehicle).
The speed displayed in zone A
fl ashes.
You only have to release the
accelerator pedal to return to the
programmed speed.
Suspension/Resumption
)
Either by pressing the brake
pedal or the clutch pedal.
)
Or by pressing button 3
.
)
Or by the ESP or ASR systems
being active.
For vehicles with a manual gearbox,
cruise control is deactivated if the
gear lever is in neutral.
Reactivation
- By recalling the memorised
speed
After deactivation, press button 3
.
Your vehicle automatically returns
to the memorised cruising speed.
The memorised speed and "ON"
are displayed in zone A
.
If the memorised cruising speed
is higher than the current speed,
the vehicle will accelerate strongly to reach the current speed.
- By selecting the current speed
Press button 1
or 2
once the de-
sired speed has been reached.
The new speed and "ON"
will
appear in zone A
.
Return to normal driving
)
Either press on button 5
.
)
Or select the cruise control func-
tion.
)
Or stop the engine.
The speed that was chosen is no
longer memorised.
"PAUSE"
will be displayed in zone A
of the instrument panel.
These actions do not cancel the
cruising speed which remains dis-
played on the instrument panel.
Operating fault
If there is a fault,
a message is
displayed accompanied by an au-
dible signal and illumination of the
SERVICE
warning lamp.
Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

CHECKS
CHECKING LEVELS
Check all of these levels regularly
and top them up if necessary, unless
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have
the corresponding system checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Oil level
Oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet for de-
tails of the interval for this operation.
Oil specifi cation
The oil must correspond to your
engine and conform to the manufac-
turer's recommendations.
Brake fluid level
Fluid change
Refer to the servicing booklet for de-
tails of the interval for this operation.
This fl uid must be changed regu-
larly. Fluid which has been used for
too long may cause a loss of braking
effi ciency.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations
and meet the DOT4 standard.
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.
Check this level also between each
scheduled service and before long
journeys.
Take care when doing anything
under the bonnet, as some parts
of the engine can be extremely hot
(risk of burns). The brake fl uid level should
be close to the "MAX" mark.
If it is not, check the brake
pad wear.
In order to maintain the reliability
of the engine and emission con-
trol system, the use of additives
in the engine oil is prohibited.
Power steering fluid or power
steering and suspension
fluid level
This fl uid must be topped up
by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
Dipstick
There are 2 marks on the
dipstick:
- A
= max; never exceed
this level,
- B
= min; top up the level
via the oil fi ller cap, us-
ing the type of oil suited
to your engine.

CHECKS
Brake pads
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.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no
oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no
oil change).
Brake disc wear
For information on check-
ing brake disc wear, con-
tact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
Parking brake
If a loss of effectiveness
of this system is noticed,
the parking brake must be
checked, even between
two services.
This system must be checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
Only use products recom-
mended by CITROËN or
products of equivalent quality
and specifi cations.
Do not use a dry cloth with an abra-
sive product for the maintenance of
aluminium parts; use a sponge and
soapy water.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
system, CITROËN selects and of-
fers very specifi c products.
To avoid damaging the electrical
units, the use of a high pressure
washer in the engine compartment
is strictly prohibited
. Refer to the servicing booklet for the
details of the level checking interval
for this component.
Refer to the servicing booklet for de-
tails of the level checking interval for
this component.
