Before leaving the vehicle, check 
that the parking brake is applied: the 
indicator lamps in the instrument panel 
and the control lever must be on fixed, 
not flashing.
If the parking brake is not applied, there 
is an audible signal and a message is 
displayed on opening the driver's door.
Never leave a child alone inside the 
vehicle with the ignition on, as they 
could release the parking brake.When towing, parking on a steep slope, 
or if your vehicle is heavily laden, 
turn the wheels towards the kerb and 
engage a gear (with a manual gearbox) 
or place the gear selector at position
  P 
with an automatic gearbox.
For towing, your vehicle is approved for 
parking on slopes of up to 12%.
Manual operation
Application of the parking brake is confirmed 
by illumination of the brake indicator lamp 
and the
  P   indicator lamp in the control lever, 
accompanied by the display of the message 
"Parking brake applied".

off, accompanied by the display of the message 
"Parking brake released".
If you push the control lever without 
pressing the brake pedal, the parking 
brake will not be released and a 
message is displayed.

On sharp acceleration, as when 
descending a steep hill, the speed 
limiter will not be able to prevent 
the vehicle from exceeding the 
programmed speed.
The limiter is temporarily deactivated 
and the displayed programmed speed 
flashes.
An audible signal accompanies the 
flashing of the programmed speed 
when exceeding the speed is not due to 
an action by the driver.
The use of mats not approved by 
CITROËN may inter fere with the 
operation of the speed limiter.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the 
pedals:
- 
e
 nsure that the mat is secured 
c o r r e c t l y,
-
 
d
 o not fit one mat on top of another.
Flashing of the dashes indicates a fault with the 
speed limiter.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.

and the displayed programmed speed flashes.
An audible signal accompanies the flashing 
of the programmed speed when exceeding 
the speed is not due to an action by the driver

As soon as the vehicle's speed returns to the 
programmed value, the limiter operates again: 
the display of the programmed speed becomes

Dynamic cruise control
System that allows, in addition to maintaining your vehicle's speed at a value that you have defined, the inter-vehicle time you have selected between 
your vehicle and the one in front to be maintained.
Principles of operation
Using a radar with a range of about 100 metres, 
located at the front of the vehicle, this system 
detects a vehicle running in front of your 
vehicle.
It automatically adapts the speed of the vehicle 
to that of the vehicle in front.
If the vehicle in front is running more slowly, 
the system progressively reduces the speed of 
your vehicle using just engine braking (as if the 
driver had pressed the "-" button).
If your vehicle is too close to or approaching 
the vehicle in front too quickly, the dynamic 
cruise control is automatically deactivated. 
The driver is then alerted by an audible signal, 
accompanied by a message.
Choice of the type of cruise control
The choice between the "dynamic" and 
"standard" cruise control is done in the Driving  
menu.
F
 
I
 n the Driving  menu, select the " Driving 
function " tab, then " Cruise control 
active " to activate or deactivate the 
dynamic cruise control.
For more information on the Cruise 
control , refer to the corresponding 
section. F
 
P
 lace the cruise control 
thumbwheel at "CRUISE". If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes 
lane, the dynamic cruise control progressively 
accelerates your vehicle to return to the 
programmed speed.
If the driver operates a direction indicator to 
the left (left-hand drive) or the right (right-
hand drive), to overtake a slower vehicle, the 
dynamic cruise control allows your vehicle to 
temporarily approach the vehicle in front to 
assist the overtaking manoeuvre, though never 
exceeding the programmed speed.

Operation of the rear foglamps is 
inhibited with the tailgate open.
Opening the tailgate when these lamps 
are on causes them and their indicator 
lamp in the instrument panel to go off.
They do not come back on 
automatically when the tailgate is 
closed: they must be switched on again 
using the control stalk.In good or rainy weather, by both day 
and night, the front foglamps and the 
rear foglamps are prohibited. In these 
situations, the power of their beams 
may dazzle other drivers. They should 
only be used in fog or falling snow.
In these weather conditions, you 
should switch on the foglamps and 
dipped beam headlamps manually, 
as the sunshine sensor may detect 
sufficient
  light.
Do not forget to switch off the front and 
rear foglamps when they are no longer 
necessary.Switching off the lighting 
when switching off the ignition
When the ignition is switched off, all of the 
lamps switch off immediately, except for 
the dipped beam headlamps if automatic 
guide-me-home lighting is activated.
Switching on the lighting when 
switching on the ignition
To reactivate the lighting control stalk, 
turn the ring A to position "0"  - lighting 
off, then to the position of your choice.
When the driver's door is opened, 
a
  temporary audible signal warns you 
that the vehicle's lighting is on.
They switch off automatically after a 
period which depends on the state of 
charge of the battery (entry to energy 
economy mode).
