SPEED LIMITER

System which prevents the vehicle

from exceeding the speed programmed

by the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is

reached, pressing the accelerator ped-

al no longer has any effect.

The speed limiter cannot, in any

circumstances, replace the need

to respect speed limits, nor can

it replace the need for vigilance

and responsibility on the part of

the driver.

The functions of this system are

grouped together on the steering

mounted controls.

Steering mounted controls

Operation

The speed limiter is switched on man-

ually: it requires a programmed speed

of at least 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is

switched off by

manual operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be ex-

ceeded temporarily by pressing the

accelerator fi rmly beyond the point of

resistance.
To return to the programmed speed,

simply release the accelerator pedal.
The programmed speed remains in the

memory when the ignition is switched

off.

Programming

 Turn dial 1 to the "LIMIT" posi-

tion: the speed limiter mode is

selected but is not switched on

(Pause).

You do not have to switch the speed

limiter on in order to set the speed.

 Set the speed value by pressing button

2 or

3 (e.g.:

55 mph (90 km/h)).

You can then change the programmed speed using but-

tons 2 and 3 :
-

by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press,

in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.

If speed memorisation is available and activated on your

vehicle, the programmed speed will stop at the closest

memorised speed; refer to the corresponding paragraph.
 Switch the speed limiter on by pressing button 4 .
 Switch the speed limiter off by pressing button 4 : the

display confi rms that it has been switched off (Pause).

Exceeding the programmed speed

Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed

speed will not have any effect unless you press the pedal

fi rmly past the point of resistance .
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the pro-

grammed speed, which is still displayed, fl ashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of inten-

tional or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automati-

cally cancels the fl ashing of the programmed speed.

Exiting the speed limiter mode

 Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the

speed limiter mode is deselected. It

disappears from the screen.

Operating fault

In the event of a fault with the speed

limiter, the speed is cleared resulting in

fl ashing of the dashes.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer

or a qualifi ed workshop.

On a steep descent or in the

event of sharp acceleration, the

speed limiter will not be able to

prevent the vehicle from exceed-

ing the programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of

the pedals:
- ensure that the mat is posi-

tioned correctly,

- do

not

fi t one mat on top of

another.

 Switch the speed limiter back on by pressing button 4

again.

The cruise control system can-

not, in any circumstances, re-

place the need to respect speed

limits, nor can it replace the need

for vigilance and responsibility

on the part of the driver.
You are advised to keep your

feet near the pedals at all times.

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.

When the cruise control is

switched on, be careful if you

maintain the pressure on one of

the programmed speed changing

buttons: this may result in a very

rapid change in the speed of your

vehicle.
Do not use the cruise control on

slippery roads or in heavy traffi c.
On a steep descent, the cruise

control will not be able to prevent

the vehicle from exceeding the

programmed speed.
On steep climbs or when towing,

the programmed speed may not

be reached or maintained.
To avoid any risk of jamming of

the pedals:
- ensure that the mat is posi-

tioned correctly,

- never

fi t one mat on top of

another.

Programming

 Turn dial 1 to the "CRUISE" po-

sition: the cruise control mode is

selected but is not switched on

(Pause).

 Set the programmed speed by ac-

celerating to the required speed,

then press button

PARKING SPACE SENSORS

System which measures the parking

space available between two vehicles

or obstacles. It measures the size of the

space and gives you information on:
- the possibility of fi tting into a free

space, depending on the dimensions

of your vehicle and the distances

needed for manoeuvring,

the level of diffi culty of the manoeuvre

to be performed.

The system does not measure spaces

which are clearly much smaller or larg-

er than the size of the vehicle.

Displays in the instrument panel

on fi xed: the function is selected by

a press on control A .

off: the function is not selected,

The parking space sensor

function warning lamp can

have two different states:

Operation

You have identifi ed a parking space:
 Press button A to select the function.
 Operate the direction indicator on

the side where the space is to be

measured; a message is displayed

to confi rm that measurement is in

progress.

 During measurement, go forward

the length of the space, at a speed

less than 12 mph (approx. 20 km/h),

to prepare for your manoeuvre.

 Once the measurement has been

completed, the system informs you

of the level of diffi culty of the ma-

noeuvre by a message in the multi-

function screen accompanied by an

audible signal.

D R I V I N G

181

The function displays the following types

of message:

Parking possible

Parking diffi cult

Parking not advised

The function deselects itself automati-

cally:
-

when you engage reverse gear,

when you switch off the ignition,

if measuring is not requested,

- within

fi ve minutes of selection of

the function,

- if the vehicle speed exceeds the

threshold of 45 mph (approx. 70 km/h)

for one minute.

If the lateral distance between your ve-

hicle and the parking space is too large,

the system may not be able to measure

the space.

If there is a fault, have the sys-

tem checked by a CITROËN

dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

The system remains available after

each measurement and can therefore

measure several spaces in succession.
In poor or wintry weather, ensure that

the sensors are free of dirt, ice or snow.
The parking space sensor system de-

activates the front parking sensors

when measuring forwards.

D R I V I N G

182

PARKING SENSORS

This system indicates the proximity of an

obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.)

which comes within the fi eld of detection

of sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (stake, road-

works cone, etc.) detected initially will

no longer be detected at the end of the

manoeuvre due to the presence of blind

spots.

This function cannot, in any cir-

cumstances, take the place of

the vigilance and responsibility

of the driver.

The system is switched on by engaging

reverse gear. This is accompanied by

an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you

exit reverse gear.

Rear parking sensors

Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an

intermittent audible signal, the frequen-

cy of which increases as the vehicle ap-

proaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right

or left) indicates the side on which the

obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle

and the obstacle becomes less than

approximately thirty centimetres, the

audible signal becomes continuous.

Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal

by displaying bars in the multifunction

screen which move progressively near-

er to the vehicle. When the obstacle is

near, the "Danger" symbol is displayed

in the screen.

D R I V I N G

183

In addition to the rear parking sensors,

the front parking sensors are triggered

when an obstacle is detected in front

and the speed of the vehicle is still below

6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted

if the vehicle stops for more than three

seconds in forward gear, if no further ob-

stacles are detected or when the speed

of the vehicle exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).

Front parking sensors

Deactivation/Activation of the front

and rear parking sensors

The function is deactivated by pressing

this button. The indicator lamp in the

button comes on.
Pressing this button again reactivates

the function. The indicator lamp in the

button goes off.

Operating fault

The function will be deactivated

automatically if a trailer is being

towed or a bicycle carrier is fi t-

ted (vehicle fi tted with a towbar

or bicycle carrier recommended

by CITROËN).

In bad weather or in winter, en-

sure that the sensors are not

covered with mud, ice or snow.

When reverse gear is engaged,

an audible signal (long beep) in-

dicates that the sensors may be

dirty.
Certain sound sources (motor-

cycle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.)

may trigger the audible signals

of the parking sensor system.

In the event of a malfunction

of the system, when reverse

gear is engaged this warn-

ing lamp is displayed in the instrument

panel and/or a message appears in the

screen, accompanied by an audible

signal (short beep).
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a quali-

fi ed workshop.

The sound emitted by the speaker (front

or rear) indicates whether the obstacle

is in front or behind.

CHECKING LEVELS

Take care when working under

the bonnet, as certain areas of

the engine may be extremely hot

(risk of burns) and the cooling

fan could start at any time (even

with the ignition off).

The check is carried out either

when the ignition is switched

on using the oil level indicator

in the instrument panel, or us-

ing the dipstick.

It will only be correct if the vehicle is on

level ground and the engine has been

off for more than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level be-

tween two services (or oil changes).

CITROËN recommends that you check

the level, and top up if necessary, every

3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
After topping up the oil, the check when

switching on the ignition with the oil

level indicator in the instrument panel

is not valid during the 30 minutes after

topping up.

Oil level

Engine oil change
Refer to the maintenance and warranty

guide for details of the interval for this

operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the

engine and emission control system,

the use of additives in the engine oil is

prohibited.

Brake fluid level

Changing the fl uid
Refer to the maintenance and warranty

guide for details of the interval for this

operation.

Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the

manufacturer's recommendations.

Power steering fluid level

The power steering fl uid level

should be close to the "MAX"

mark. With the engine cold, un-

screw the cap to check the level.

Coolant level

The coolant level should be

close to the "MAX" mark but

should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the

temperature of the coolant is regulated

by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is

pressurised, wait at least one hour after

switching off the engine before carrying

out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew

the cap by two turns to allow the pres-

sure to drop. When the pressure has

dropped, remove the cap and top up

the level.

Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-

facturer's recommendations.

Check all of these levels regularly, in

line with the maintenance and warranty

guide. Top them up if necessary, unless

otherwise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the

corresponding system checked by a

CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-

shop.

Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade for

your engine and conform to the manu-

facturer's recommendations.

The cooling fan may start after

switching off the engine: take

care with articles and clothing

that might become caught by the

fan blades.

The brake fl uid level should be

close to the "MAX" mark. If it is

not, check the brake pad wear.

C H E C K S

Used products

Avoid prolonged contact of used

oil or fl uids with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful

to health or indeed very corro-

sive.

Do not discard used oil or fl uids

into sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a CITROËN

dealer or a qualifi ed workshop

(France) or to an authorised

waste disposal site.

Additive level (Diesel with

particle emissions filter)

The additive reservoir low level is indi-

cated by:

Topping up
The reservoir must be topped up with-

out delay by a CITROËN dealer or a

qualifi ed workshop.

fi xed illumination of the par-

ticle emissions fi lter warning

lamp, accompanied by an au-

dible signal and a message

that the particle emissions

fi lter additive level is too low.

Screenwash / headlamp wash

fluid level

Specifi cation of the fl uid
To ensure optimum cleaning and to

avoid freezing, the fl uid should never be

topped up or replaced by plain water.
In wintry conditions, the use of a fl uid

with an ethyl alcohol or methanol base

is recommended.

To check the level or top up

the fl uid on vehicle fi tted with

headlamp washers, immobilise

the vehicle and switch of the

engine.

 Open the bonnet and secure it with

the stay.

 Open the screenwash reservoir fi ll-

er cap.

 Take and pinch the level gauge to

block its breather.

 Remove the gauge completely from

the reservoir to read the level in the

transparent section.

 Top up if necessary.
 Refi t the fi ller cap to the reservoir

and close the bonnet.
