Operation
A few moments after the ignition has been
switched on, the spanner indicating a
service operation comes on; the display for
the total distance recorder gives (in round
figures) the distance remaining before the
next service.
A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the oil level is displayed, then the total
distance recorder resumes normal operation
showing the total and trip distances.
Less than 1 000 miles/km before the next
service is due
Each time the ignition is switched on and for a few
seconds, the spanner fl ashes and the number of
miles/kilometres remaining is displayed:
A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the oil level is displayed, then the total
distance recorder resumes normal operation
and the spanner remains on. This indicates
that a service should be carried out shortly. The distance remaining before the next
service may be weighted by the time
factor, depending on the type of driving.
More than 1 000 miles/km before the next
service is due
Example:
4 800 miles/km remain before
the next service is due. When the ignition
is switched on and for a few seconds, the
screen shows:
SERVICE INDICATOR
This programmes service intervals according
to the use of the vehicle.
The points at which a service is due are
calculated from the last indicator zero reset.
The point at which a service is due is
determined by two parameters:
- the distance travelled,
- the time which has elapsed since the
last service. All repairs and changing of tyres on
a wheel fitted with this system must
be carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Good practice
This system does not avoid the need to
have the tyre pressures checked regularly
(including the spare wheel), to ensure that
the dynamic performance of the vehicle
remains at its best and to avoid premature
wear of the tyres, in particular in the case of
heavy loads and high speeds.
Observing the recommended tyre pressures
helps reduce the vehicle's fuel consumption.
The system may temporarily be disturbed by
electro-magnetic emissions on a frequency
close to that used by it. If when changing a tyre, you fit a
wheel not detected by your vehicle
(for example: fitting snow tyres), you must
have the system reinitialised by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The tyre under-inflation detection system
is a driving aid which does not take the
place of vigilance or the responsibility of
the driver.

Gearboxes and steering wheel
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
This system allows fuel consumption to be
reduced by suggesting when to change up.
With an electronic gearbox, the system is
only active in Manual mode.
Depending on the driving conditions and the
equipment of your vehicle, the system may
recommend skipping one or more gears.
You can follow this indication without going
through the intermediate gears.
Illumination of this symbol
indicates that the driver can
change up.
On vehicles with a manual gearbox,
the arrow may be accompanied by the
recommended gear.
The system adapts its gear change
recommendations according to the driving
conditions (slope, load,...) and demands
from the driver (for power, acceleration,
braking,...). The gear engagement recommendations
should not be considered to be compulsory.
This because the configuration of the
road, the traffic density and safety remain
determining factors when choosing the
best gear. Therefore, the driver remains
responsible for deciding whether or not to
follow the advice given by the system.
This system cannot be deactivated.
The system never recommends engaging
first gear or reverse, or changing down.

Switching the function off
- Place the dial in position 0
or switch off
the ignition to switch everything off.
Good practice
When changing the programmed reference
speed by means of a maintained press,
pay attention as the speed can increase or
decrease rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads or in heavy traffic.
In the event of a steep slope, the cruise
control cannot prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
In any event, the cruise control cannot
replace the need to observe the speed limits,
nor can it replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the driver.
It is advisable to leave your feet near the
pedals.
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.
Cancelling the programmed
reference speed
When the vehicle becomes stationary, after
switching off the ignition, the system no
longer memorises a speed. Using the accelerator:
- exceed the memorised speed until the
speed required is reached,
- press the Set +
or Set -
button.
To memorise a speed lower than the
previous one:
- press the Set -
button.
A brief press decreases the speed by
1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press decreases the speed in
steps of 5 mph (km/h).
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.
FIXED SPEED LIMITER
If your vehicle is fitted with this function,
the speed of your vehicle can be limited to
a fixed speed of approximately 56, 60, 70
or 80 mph (90, 100, 110 or 130 km/h). The
fixed maximum speed cannot be changed.
The fixed speed limiter is not a function
of the cruise control type. It cannot be
activated or deactivated by the driver while
driving.

SPEED LIMITER "LIMIT"

selection status in the instrument panel and

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.

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.
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
.
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.
The limiter is deactivated temporarily and
the programmed speed flashes.
To return to the limiter function, reduce your
speed to below the programmed speed.
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.
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.
