WIPER CONTROL STALK Slow continuous wiping: 2 notches downwards. Do not cover the rain sensor, located at
the top centre of the windscreen.
Screenwash and headlamp wash
Pull the wiper control stalk towards you,
the screenwash is accompanied by a timed
operation of the wipers.
The headlamp wash is coupled with the
screenwash, it is triggered if the dipped
beam headlamps are on.
Windscreen wipers
Wiping is only active when the ignition key is
in the RUNNING position.
The control stalk has five different
positions:
Wipers off.
Intermittent wiping: 1 notch downwards.
In this position, four frequencies can be
selected by turning the ring:
- very slow frequency
- slow frequency
- nominal frequency,
- fast frequency.
Automatic rain sensitive windscreen wipers
If your vehicle is fitted with this system, the
wiping speed is adapted automatically to the
intensity of the rainfall.
Automatic wiping: 1 notch downwards. This is
confi rmed by one wipe. Must be reactivated
each time the ignition is switched on.
In this position, the sensitivity of the rain
sensor can be increased by turning the ring.
Good practice
Check that the windscreen wiper blades can
operate freely when using the wipers in icy
weather.
Use the step in the front bumper, to remove
any accumulation of snow at the base of the
windscreen and on the blades. You can change the wiper blades.
Refer to the "Quick help - Worn wiper
blade" section.
You can check the fluid level.
Refer to the "Checks - Levels and
checks" section.
Fast continuous wiping: 3 notches
downwards.
Single wipe: pull the control stalk towards
the steering wheel.
With Stop & Start, when the wiper
control stalk is in the fast wipe position,
the STOP mode is not available.
When washing the vehicle, switch off the
ignition or deactivate the automatic rain
sensitive wipers.

CRUISE CONTROL
"This is the speed at which the driver wishes to
travel".
This aid to driving in free-fl owing traffi c conditions
enables the vehicle to maintain a constant
speed programmed by the driver, except when a
considerable load is carried on a steep gradient.
In order to be programmed or activated,
the vehicle speed must be greater than
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h), with at least
4th gear engaged. Function selected.
Function deactivated.
If your vehicle is fitted with cruise control,
this is displayed on the instrument panel by
an indicator located in the rev counter.

Steering mounted controls
Selecting the function - ON
Selecting ON switches the function on. A
message appears in the instrument panel
screen to confirm the action.
Programming a speed
Accelerate to the required speed, with 4th or
5th gear engaged.
Move the control upwards (+), for
approximately one second, to store this
speed.
Release the pressure on the accelerator
pedal, the vehicle will maintain this speed.
Switching off / deactivating the function
Press the brake or clutch pedal or place the
ring in the OFF position, the indicator goes off.
If the dynamic stability control system comes
into operation, the cruise control system is
deactivated temporarily.
- increase the speed in steps, by means of brief presses, or continuously by
pressing and holding the control
upwards (+ sign),
Temporarily exceeding the programmed speed
When the cruise control is active, it is still
possible to exceed the programmed speed
by depressing the accelerator pedal (to
overtake another vehicle for example).
- decrease the speed continuously by pressing and holding the control
downwards (- sign).
Restore - RES
To restore the vehicle's
programmed speed (for example
after pressing the brake or clutch
pedal), gradually return to the chosen speed
and press RES .
The indicator lamp comes on, the cruise
control function is restored.
Changing the programmed speed while the cruise control is in operation
You can:

Steering mounted controls
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.

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, unless a steep
gradient makes this impossible. In order for it to be programmed or
activated, the vehicle speed must be greater
than 25 mph (40 km/h) with at least 4th gear
engaged on the manual gearbox. This cruise control shows the status of the
system in the instrument panel screen and
displays the programmed speed:
Function selected,
displaying of the "Cruise
Control" indicator light.
Function deactivated,
OFF (example at
107 km/h).
Function activated
(example at 107 km/h).
Vehicle speed above
(e.g. 118 km/h),
the programmed speed
is displayed flashing.
Operating fault detected,
OFF - the dashes flash.

Steering mounted controls
Selecting the function
- Turn the ring fully upwards. The cruise control is selected but is not yet active
and no speed has been programmed.
The indicator comes on in the instrument
panel
First activation / programming a speed
- Reach the chosen speed by pressing the accelerator.
- Move the switch up (+) or down (-) to memorise the speed. A message
appears in the instrument panel screen
to confirm the operation.
The vehicle will maintain this speed setting.
Temporarily exceeding the speed setting
It is possible to accelerate and drive
momentarily at a speed greater than the
programmed speed. The value programmed
flashes.
When the accelerator pedal is released, the
vehicle will return to the programmed speed.
Reactivation
- Following deactivation of the cruise control, press this button. A message
appears in the instrument panel screen
to confirm the reactivation.
Your vehicle will return to the last
programmed speed.
Alternatively, you can repeat the "first

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.
