EMISSIONS CONTROLS
EOBD (European On Board Diagnosis) is
a diagnostics system which complies with,
among others, the standards concerning
authorised emissions of:
- CO (carbon monoxide),
- HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
- NOx (nitrous oxides) or particles, detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream and downstream of the
catalytic converters.
TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for the driver to be
vigilant or to drive responsibly. This system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly
(including the spare wheel) and before a
long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres adversely
affects road holding, extends braking
distances and causes premature tyre
wear, particularly under arduous conditions
(vehicle loaded, high speed, long journey).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of
each tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres. The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after driving for less then
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle can be
found on the tyre pressure label.
The driver is warned of any
malfunction of this emission
control system by the illumination
of this specific warning lamp in
the instrument panel.
There is a risk of damage to the catalytic
converter. Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Refer to the "Technical data -
Identification markings" section.

Gearbox and steering wheel
To change gear easily, always depress the
clutch pedal fully.
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 wear
the internal components of the gearbox
over time.
MANUAL GEARBOX
Reverse gear
Raise the collar under the gear knob to
engage reverse gear. Never engage reverse gear before the
vehicle is completely stationary.
The lever should be moved slowly to reduce
the noise on engaging reverse gear.
Your reversing manoeuvre is indicated by an
audible exterior warning.
If your vehicle is fitted with parking
sensors, the system comes into
operation when reverse gear is engaged and
an audible signal is heard.
Refer to the "Technology on board -
Parking sensors" section.
GEAR EFFICIENCY INDICATOR
This system allows fuel consumption to be
reduced by suggesting when to change up.
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.
The system never recommends engaging
first gear or reverse, or changing down.

Good practice
When changing the programmed reference
speed by pressing and holding the control,
take care as the speed may increase or
decrease rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads or in heavy traffic.
On a steep gradient, the cruise control will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
The cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to comply
with speed limits nor can it replace the need
for vigilance and responsibility on the part
of driver.
It is advisable to leave your feet near the
pedals.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedals:
- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,
- never fit one mat on top of another.
Cancelling the programmed speed
When the vehicle stops, after the ignition is
switched off, the system no longer stores
any speed.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault, the system
is switched off and the indicator
goes off.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.

EASE OF USE
and
COMFORT
Steering mounted controls
There are two methods of memorising a speed
higher than the previous one:
Without using the accelerator:
- Move the switch up (+).
A brief press increases the speed by 1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press increases the speed in steps of
5 mph (km/h).
Using the accelerator:
- exceed the memorised speed until the speed required is reached,
- move the switch up (+) or down (-).
To memorise a speed lower than the previous one:
- move the switch down (-).
A brief press decreases the speed by 1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press decreases the speed in steps
of 5 mph (km/h).
Changing the
programmed speed
Switching the system off
- Place the ring in the central O position
or switch off the ignition to switch the
system off.
When the vehicle becomes stationary, after
switching off the ignition, the system no
longer memorises a speed.
Operating fault
The programmed speed is cleared then
replaced by dashes. Contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
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.

SPEED LIMITER
"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. However, pressing the pedal beyond this
point of resistance to the floor permits
exceeding of the programmed speed. To
resume use of the limiter, simply reduce
the pressure on the accelerator pedal
gradually and return to a speed below that
programmed.
The operating actions may be carried out
when stationary, with the engine running,
or with the vehicle moving.
This speed limiter shows the status of the
system and the programmed speed in the
instrument panel screen:
System selected,
display of the "Speed
Limiter" indicator.
System deactivated,
last programmed speed - OFF
(example at 65 mph
(107 km/h)).
System activated
(example at 65 mph
(107 km/h)).
Vehicle speed above
(example 70 mph
(118 km/h))
the programmed speed
is displayed flashing.
Operating fault detected,
OFF - the dashes flash.

Steering mounted controls
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 .
If the limiter is unable to prevent an increase
in the speed of the vehicle because of the
profile of the road or when going down a
step hill, the programmed speed may be
exceeded.
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 system off
- Place the ring in the central O position
or switch off the ignition to switch the
system off.
The last programmed speed remains in the
memory.
Operating fault
The programmed speed is cleared then
replaced by dashes.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Good practice
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.
