The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporaril
y by pressing the accelerator firmlybeyond the point of resistance.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
The pro
grammed speed remains in the memory
when the i
gnition is switched off.

switched on
(Pause). You do not have to switch the speed limiter onin order to set the speed.)Set the speed value by pressing button 2or 3(e.g.: 55 mph (90 km/h)).
Exceeding the programmed speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed speed willnot have any effect unless you press the pedal firmlypast the point of resistance
.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the programmed speed,
which is still displayed, flashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or
unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels theflashing of the programmed speed.


Exiting the speed limiter
mode
)Turn dial 1to the "0"
position: the speed limiter mode is deselected. It disappears from the screen.



Operating fault

In the event of a fault with the speed limiter,
the speed is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
On a steep descent or in the event of sharp acceleration, the speed limiter willnot be able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:


- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,

- do not fit one mat on top of another.

)Switch the speed limiter back on by pressing button 4
again.
You can then chan
ge the programmed speed using buttons 2 and 3
:
- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = shor t press,
- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.
If speed memorisation is available and activated on your vehicle,
the programmed speed will stop at the closest memorised speed;refer to the corresponding paragraph.)Switch the speed limiter on by pressing button 4.)Switch the speed limiter off by pressing button 4: the display confirms that it has been switched off (Pause).

Operation
The cruise control is switched on
manually:
it requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph(40 km/h) and engagement of:


- fourth gear on the manual gearbox,

- second gear on the electronic gearbox system or automatic gearbox, in sequential
driving mode,

- position A
on the electronic gearboxsystem or Don the automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off manually for by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on
triggering of the "electronic stability control" 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. This information also appears in thehead-up display.
For more information, refer to the "Head-up display" section.

133Driving
This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) which comes within the field of detection of sensorslocated in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (stake, roadworkscone, etc.) detected initially will no longer bedetected at the end of the manoeuvre due to
the presence of blind spots.






Parking sensors


This function cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reversegear. This is accompanied by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you exit reverse gear.
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by anintermittent audible signal, the frequency of which increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left) indicates the side on which the obstacle islocated. When the distance between the vehicle andthe obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomescontinuous.



Visual assistance

This supplements the audible signal bydisplaying bars in the multifunction screen
w
hich move progressively nearer to the vehicle.When the obstacle is near, the "Danger" symbol is also displayed in the screen.

In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the sensors are not covered with mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is
engaged, an audible signal (long beep)indicates that the sensors may be dirty. Cer tain sound sources (motorcycle,lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger the audible signals of the parkingsensor system.
In th
e event of a malfunctionof the system, when reverse gear is engaged this warning
lamp is displayed in the instrument paneland/or a message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal (short beep).
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Operating fault
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front parking sensors are triggered when an obstacle
is detected in front and the speed of the vehicle
is still below 6 mph
(10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if no fur ther obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
Front par king sensors
The function will be deactivated automatically if a trailer is being towed or a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by CITROËN).



Deactivation / Activation of thefront and rear parking sensors

The function is deactivated by pressing this button.The indicator lamp in the button comes on.
Pressing this button again reactivates the function. The indicator lamp in the button goes off.

The sound emitted by the speaker (front
or rear) indicates whether the obstacle is in front or behind.

the lighting comes on, this
warning lamp is displayed in the instrumentpanel and/or a message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
wor
kshop.

Manual adjustment
of halogen
headlamps







Automatic adjustment of xenon headlamps
To avoid causing a nuisance to other road users,
the height of the halogen headlamps should be adjusted according to the load in the vehicle. 0.1 or 2 people in the front seats. -.Intermediate setting. 1. 5 people + maximum authorised load. -.Intermediate setting. 2.
Driver + maximum authorised load. -.Intermediate setting. 3.
5 people + maximum load in the boot.

The initial setting is position "0".
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp is displayedin the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal and a
message in the instrument panel screen.
The s
ystem then places your headlamps in the lowest position.
In order to avoid causing a nuisance to other road users, this system corrects the height of the
xenon headlamps beam automatically and when
stationary, in relation to the load in the vehicle.

If a fault occurs, do not touch the xenonbulbs. Contact a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.
