SPEED LIMITER "LIMIT"
However, pressing the pedal beyond this
point of resistance to the floor allows the
programmed speed to be exceeded. To
resume use of the limiter, simply reduce
the pressure on the accelerator pedal
gradually and return to a speed below that
programmed. Function selected,

- the dashes flash. This speed limiter shows the function
selection status in the instrument panel and
displays the programmed speed:
The operating actions may be carried out
when stationary, with the engine running,
or with the vehicle moving. "This is the selected speed which the driver
does not wish to exceed".
This selection is made with the engine
running while stationary or with the vehicle
moving. The minimum speed which can be
programmed is 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed of the vehicle responds to the
pressure of the driver's foot as far as the
accelerator pedal point of resistance which
indicates that the programmed speed has
been reached.

Switching the function off
- Place the switch in position 0
or switch
off the ignition to switch the system off.
The last programmed speed remains in the
memory.
Exceeding the programmed speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal in order to
exceed the programmed speed will have
no effect unless you press the pedal firmly
beyond the point of resistance
.
The limiter is deactivated temporarily and
the programmed speed flashes.
Good practice
Operating fault
The programmed speed is cleared then
replaced by three dashes.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Flashing of the speed
The speed flashes:
- following forcing of the accelerator point
of resistance,
- when the limiter cannot prevent an
increase in the vehicle speed due to the
profile of the road or on a steep descent,
- in the event of sharp acceleration.
To return to the limiter function, reduce your
speed to below the programmed speed. In any event, the speed limiter cannot
replace the need to observe speed limits,
nor can it replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the driver.
Always pay attention to the profile of the
road and sharp acceleration and stay in
complete control of your vehicle.
To avoid any jamming under the pedals:
- ensure that the mat and its fixings on the
floor are positioned correctly,
- never place one mat on top of another.

Driver or passenger side comfort value
The value indicated on the display
corresponds to a level of comfort and not a
temperature in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. Automatic operation
Do not cover the sunshine sensor,
located on the windscreen behind the
mirror, it is used for regulation of the air
conditioning.
AUTO comfort programme
This is the normal air conditioning system
operating mode.
Press this button, the AUTO
symbol is
displayed.
Depending on the comfort value selected,
the system controls the distribution,
the fl ow and the intake of air to guarantee comfort
and a suffi cient circulation of air in the passenger
compartment. No further action on your part is required.
When the engine is cold, to prevent an
excessive diffusion of cold air, the ventilation
will reach its optimum level gradually.
For your comfort, the settings are stored
when the ignition is switched off and are
reinstated the next time the vehicle is
started, if the temperature in the passenger
compartment has not changed significantly;
otherwise, operation resumes in automatic
mode. Turn this control to the left or to
the right to decrease or increase
the value. A setting around the
value 21 provides optimum
comfort. However, depending on your
requirements, a setting between 18 and
24 is usual.

Metal suspension
This equipment adopts long movement limiters
which make it possible to guarantee stable
behaviour both when loaded and when empty.
No action on your part is required except to
ensure that maintenance is carried out and that
the authorised loads are complied with. the increasing or lightening of the load on
the vehicle's platform is detected by two
height sensors. When all of the doors are
closed, the sensors trigger the automatic
height correction and determine the optimum
height of the sill for the vehicle's driving
conditions.
Deactivation of automatic height correction
The control which permits deactivation of
automatic regulation is located on the right-
hand side, at the rear of the vehicle.
Two types of suspension are available. You must deactivate automatic height
correction manually in the following
situations:
- when working underneath the vehicle,
- when changing a wheel,
- when the vehicle is being transported by
lorry, train, ferry, boat, ...
Rear suspension with pneumatic
height correction
If fitted on your vehicle, this type of
suspension regulates the variations in the
height of the rear platform of your vehicle
irrespective of the weight of the load, within
the limit of the authorised values. On board,
Two functions

2.
Manual height
correction
1 - Automatic correction of the
height of the rear sill
The pneumatic suspension automatically
regulates the variations in the height of
the rear platform of your vehicle.
The automatic height correction is
temporarily inactive:
- if a door / the tailgate is open,
- when braking or when stopped at a red
traffic signal (brake pedal pressed). With the vehicle stationary:
- press and hold,
- release the control.
Return to automatic correction
With the vehicle stationary:
- press and hold,
- release the control.
According to the configurations, a beep may
be heard during these operations.
A red warning light on your
instrument panel fl ashes if the
height is not at its optimum level
and requires correction, drive slowly
until this warning lamp goes off. Return to automatic height correction is
confirmed by the LED which goes off. Deactivation is confirmed by the LED which
is on. It remains on for approximately
30 seconds.

Mirrors and windows
MIRRORS
If fitted on your vehicle, the mirror is
supplemented by a 2nd lower mirror. This
mirror is convex to broaden the field of side
vision. Objects observed are, in reality,
closer than they appear. Therefore, take this
into account in order to judge the distance
correctly.
MIRRORS AND WINDOWS
Electric folding
If your vehicle is fitted with this function,
the mirrors can be folded electrically from
the inside, with the vehicle parked and the
ignition on:
- Place switch A
in the centre position.
- Pull switch A
rearwards.
Heated mirrors
If your vehicle is fitted with this function,
press the rear screen demisting button. The folding / unfolding on locking / unlocking
can be deactivated. Contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Electric door mirrors
- Move switch A
to the right or to the left
to select the corresponding mirror.
- Move knob B
in all four directions to
adjust.
- Return switch A
to the centre position. From the outside, lock the vehicle using the
remote control or the key.
Electric unfolding
The electric unfolding of the mirrors is
possible with the remote control or the key
on unlocking the vehicle, unless folding
was selected using switch A
. In this case,
pull the switch rearwards from the centre
position again.
Manual door mirrors
Move the lever in all four directions to
adjust.
When the vehicle is parked, the door mirrors
can be folded back manually.
If the mirror casing has come out of its
initial location, with the vehicle stationary,
reposition the mirror casing manually or use
the electric folding switch.
There is no risk of breakage even in the
presence of ice.
