On a steep descent or in the event of
sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming 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.Cruise control
System which automatically
maintains the speed of the vehicle
at the value programmed by the
driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on manually: it
requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25
mph
(40


km/h).
As well as the engagement of:
-

F

ourth gear on a manual gearbox.
-

S

econd gear on an automatic gearbox, in
sequential mode.
-

Position D with an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off manually
or by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on
triggering of the trajectory control systems for
safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed setting.
Cruise control cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need to respect speed limits, nor can it replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.The snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised .
Advice on installation
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face on the side
of the road.
F

A
pply the parking brake and, if necessary,
put wheel chocks against the wheels to
prevent your vehicle from sliding.
F

F
it the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
F

M
ove off gently and drive for a few seconds,
without exceeding 30 mph (50 km/h).
F

S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the
road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fixings is in contact with the
wheel rim. Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size.
185/65


R159
mm
195/55

For more information on snow chains, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

The vehicle's electrical system allows the
connection of the compressor for long
enough to inflate a tyre after a puncture
repair.
Composition of the kit
1.12 V compressor, with built-in pressure
gauge.
2. Bottle of sealant, with built-in hose.
3. Speed limit sticker.
The speed limit sticker must be secured
to the interior of the vehicle in the driver's
field of vision, to remind you that a wheel
is in temporary use. Do not exceed a speed of 50
mph
(80 km/h) when driving with a tyre repaired
using this type of kit.
Repair procedure
F Switch off the ignition.
F S ecure the speed limit sticker inside the
vehicle.
F

U
ncoil the pipe stowed under the
compressor.
Avoid removing any foreign bodies which
have penetrated into the tyre.
F

C
onnect the pipe from the compressor to
the bottle of sealant. F

R
emove the valve cap from the tyre to be
repaired, and place it in a clean area.
F

T
urn the sealant bottle over and secure it in
the cut-out provided on the compressor.
F

C

For more information on Towing the vehicle ,
refer to the corresponding section. All of these tools are specific to your
vehicle and may vary according to the
level of equipment.
Do not use them for any other purposes.
The jack must only be used to change a
wheel with a damaged or punctured tyre.
Do not use any jack other than the one
supplied with this vehicle.
If the vehicle does not have its original jack,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to obtain the correct jack for it.
The jack meets European standards,
as defined in the Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC.
The jack does not require any
maintenance.

Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
* Position P for the automatic gearbox
Park the vehicle where it does not block
traffic: the ground must be level, stable
and non-slippery.
Apply the parking brake, switch off the
ignition and engage first gear* so as to
block the wheels.
Check that the parking brake warning
lamp comes on fixed in the instrument
panel.
The occupants must get out of the vehicle
and wait where they are safe.
Make sure that the jack is correctly
positioned at one of the vehicle's jacking
points.
Incorrect use of the jack could cause the
vehicle to collapse.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.
Do not use a jack other than the one
supplied by the manufacturer.
Wheel with hub cap
When removing the wheel
, first remove
the hub cap using the wheelbrace by
pulling at the valve aperture.
When refitting the wheel , after tightening
the wheel bolts, refit the hub cap, starting
by placing its aperture in line with the
valve and then pushing it into place all
round its edge with the palm of your hand.
List of operations
F Remove each wheel bolt covers using the tool 3 (alloy wheels).
F

L
oosen the bolts using wheelbrace 1 o n l y.F

P
lace the foot of jack 2 on the ground and
ensure that it is directly below the front A
or rear B jacking point provided on the
underbody, whichever is closest to the
wheel to be changed.
In the event of a breakdown

125
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the
ground is slippery or loose, the jack may
slip or drop – Risk of injury!
Take care to place the jack only at the
jacking points A or B under the vehicle,
ensuring that the contact point of the
vehicle is centred on the jack head.
Other wise, there is a risk of damage to the
vehicle and/or the jack dropping – Risk of
injury!Stowing the damaged wheel
The damaged wheel can be stowed under
the floor, in the housing for the standard
spare wheel.
To stow an alloy wheel, first remove the
hub cap from the middle of the wheel so
that the fastening device (nut and bolt) can
be put in place.
In the case of a "space-saver" type spare
wheel, the damaged wheel cannot be
stowed under the floor. It must be stowed
in the boot; use a cover to protect the
inside of the boot.
F

E

xtend the jack 2

until its head comes
into contact with the jacking point A or B ,
whichever is used; the contact area A or B
on the vehicle must be correctly inserted
into the central part of the head of the jack.
F

Ra

ise the vehicle until there is sufficient
space between the wheel and the ground
to admit the spare (not punctured) wheel
easily. F
