prohibited.
Do not forget to switch them off when they
are no longer necessary.
Guide-me-home lighting
The temporary maintaining of the dipped
beam headlamps, after switching off the
vehicle's ignition, makes the driver's exit

Reactivation
- Press the button on the
end of the control again.
or
-
Press the accelerator pedal until a speed
close to the programmed speed.
-
Engage the gear selected when
programming the speed.
Your vehicle will return to the last
programmed speed.
When the system is activated, The "Cruise
control" warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel.
CRUISE CONTROL
"This is the speed at which the driver wishes
to drive".
This aid to driving in free-flowing traffic
enables the vehicle to maintain the speed
programmed by the driver, without use of the
accelerator pedal.
In order for it to be programmed or
activated, the vehicle speed must be greater
than 18 mph (30 km/h) with at least second
gear engaged on the manual gearbox.
Selecting the function
- Place the ring in the
ON position. The cruise
control is selected but
is not yet active and
no speed has been
programmed.
First activation /
Programming
a speed
- Reach the chosen
speed by pressing the
accelerator.
-
Move the control up (+) for at least one
second then release it.
This programmes the reference speed. You
can release the accelerator pedal, and the
vehicle will maintain this speed.
Temporarily exceeding
of the speed
It is possible to accelerate
and drive momentarily at
a speed greater than the
programmed speed (for example to overtake
another vehicle).
When the accelerator pedal is released, the
vehicle will return to the programmed speed.
Deactivation
- Press the button on
the end of the control.
or
-
Press the brake or clutch pedal.
The cruise control is also deactivated if the
ABS or DSC system is invoked.

50Changing the programmed speed
There are two methods of memorising a
speed higher than the previous one:
Switching the function off
- Place the ring in the
OFF position or switch
off the ignition to switch
everything off.
Cancelling the programmed speed
When the vehicle becomes stationary, after
switching off the ignition, the system no
longer memorises a speed.
Operating fault
In the event of an operating fault, turn the
ring to the OFF position and contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Good practice
When changing the programmed speed by
means of a maintained press, pay attention
as the speed can increase or decrease
rapidly.
d
o not use the cruise control on slippery
roads or in heavy traffic.
Never engage neutral while the system is
operating.
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
.
Without using the accelerator:
-
move the control up
(+).
Each brief press increases
the speed by 1 mph (km/h).
Using the accelerator:
-
exceed the memorised speed until the
speed required is reached,
-
move the control up
(+) for at least one
second, then release it.
To memorise a speed lower
than the previous one:
-
move the control
down
(-)
; the new speed
will be memorised
automatically.
a brief press decreases the speed by
1 mph (km/h).
a maintained press decreases the speed
gradually.
a maintained press increases the speed
gradually.FIXED SPEED LIMITER
This function allows a fixed maximum speed
limit to be set for the vehicle (according
to version and only on the 1.3 HDi 75 hp
engine).
The maximum speed can be set to one
of
4 pre-defined values: 56, 62, 68 or
80 mph (90, 100, 110 or 130 km/h).
A label in the passenger compartment
indicates the presence of this function
and its setting.
This function cannot be deactivated or set
by the driver.
Steering mounted controls
53Good practice
To change gear smoothly, always press the
clutch pedal fully down.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught under
the pedal:
-
ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,
-
never fit one mat on top of another
.
Avoid leaving your hand on the gear knob as
the force exerted, even if slight, may cause
wear of the internal components of the
gearbox over time.
MANUAL GEARBOX
Reverse
gear
Never engage reverse gear until the vehicle
is completely stationary.
The lever should be moved slowly to reduce
the noise on engaging reverse gear.
If your vehicle is fitted with parking
sensors, the system comes into
operation when reverse gear is engaged,
confirmed by an audible signal.
Refer to the "Technology on board -
Parking sensors" section.
STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
When the vehicle is stationary, release the
steering wheel adjustment by pushing the
lever down.
Adjust the steering wheel for height and
reach, then lock by pulling the lever up fully. When traversing a flooded road or a
ford, drive at walking pace.

ELECTRONIC GEARBOX
The five-speed electronic gearbox offers a
choice between the comfort of automated
operation or the pleasure of manual gear
changing.
This gearbox provides two driving modes:
-
an automated mode for automatic control
of the gears by the gearbox and therefore
without any action on the part of the
driver,
-
a sequential mode for manual changing
of the gears by the driver using the gear
lever.
It consists of:
1.
a gear lever
1 on the centre console
for selecting the driving mode, reverse
gear and neutral or for changing gear in
sequential mode,
2.
a button
2 to activate or deactivate the
economy programme.
Gear lever gate
All movements of the gear lever are given
from the middle position.
N : neutral.
With your foot on the brake, select this
position to start, by moving the gear lever to
the right and then forwards.
R : reverse gear.
With the vehicle stationary, keep your foot
on the brake pedal and move the gear lever
to the right and then backwards.
