Pull the stalk towards you, the wash-
wipe is accompanied by a timed sweep
of the wipers.
The headlamp wash is linked with the
wash-wipe, it is triggered if the dipped
headlamps are on.
Turn the ring past the fi rst
notch: the windscreen wash
then the windscreen wiper
operate for a fi xed time.
In winter, in the event of a
considerable amount of snow
or ice, switch on the rear screen
demister. Once de-icing is complete,
remove the snow or ice which has
accumulated on the rear wiper
blade. You can then operate the rear
windscreen wiper.
To top up the levels, refer to the
"Levels" section of chapter 6.
Special position of the
windscreen wipers
Refer to the "Changing a
windscreen wiper blade" section of
chapter 7.
To park the wipers in their normal
position after this has been done,
switch on the ignition and move the
stalk. Turn the ring to the fi rst notch.
Rear windscreen wash
Rear windscreen wiper
In the minute following switching
off of the ignition, any action on
the stalk positions the wipers
against the windscreen uprights.
This action enables you to position
the wiper blades for winter parking,
cleaning or replacement.

CRUISE CONTROL "CRUISE"
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. This cruise control shows the function
selection status on the instrument
panel and displays the programmed
speed:
Function selected,
displaying of the
"Cruise Control"
symbol.
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
fl ashing.
Operating fault
detected, OFF -
the dashes fl ash.
"This is the speed at which the driver
wishes to drive".
This aid to driving in free-fl owing
traffi c enables the vehicle to maintain
the speed programmed by the driver,
unless a steep gradient makes this
impossible.

52
Steering mounted controls
Selecting the function
- Place the switch in the CRUISE
position. The cruise control is
selected but is not yet active and
no speed has been programmed.
First activation/
programming a
speed
- Reach the chosen speed by pressing the
accelerator.
- Press the SET - or

SET + button.
This programmes/activates the
reference speed and the vehicle will
maintain this speed. Temporary exceeding
of the speed
It is possible to
accelerate and drive
momentarily at a speed greater than
the programmed speed. The value
programmed fl ashes.
When the accelerator pedal is
released, the vehicle will return to the
programmed speed.
Deactivation (off)
- Press this button or the brake or clutch
pedal. Reactivation
- Following deactivation of the cruise
control, press this button.
Your vehicle will return to the last
programmed speed.
Alternatively, you can repeat the "fi rst
activation" procedure.

Changing the
programmed speed
There are two methods
of memorising a
speed higher than the
previous one: Switching the function off
Operating fault
The programmed speed is cleared then
replaced by three dashes. Contact a
CITROËN dealer to have the system
checked.
Cancelling the programmed
reference speed
When the vehicle becomes stationary,
after switching off the ignition, the
system no longer memorises a speed.
Without using the accelerator:
- press the
Set + button.
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,
- press the Set + or Set - button.
To memorise a speed lower than the
previous one:
- press the Set - button.
A brief press decreases the speed
by 1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press decreases the
speed in steps of 5 mph (km/h). - Place the dial in position
0 or
switch off the ignition to switch
everything off. 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 traffi c.
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 fi xings
on the fl oor are positioned correctly,
- never place one mat on top of another.

54
Steering mounted controls However, pressing the pedal beyond
this point of resistance to the fl oor
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 function
selection status on the instrument
panel and displays the programmed
speed:
SPEED LIMITER "LIMIT"
Function selected,
displaying of the
"Speed Limiter"
symbol.
Function deactivated,
last programmed
speed - OFF (example
at 65 mph (107 km/h)).
Function activated
(example at 65 mph
(107 km/h)).
Vehicle speed above
(example 70 mph
(118 km/h)),
the programmed
speed is displayed
fl ashing.
Operating fault
detected,

OFF - the dashes
fl ash.
"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.

Selecting the function
- Place the dial in the LIMIT position.
The limiter is selected but is not yet
active. The display indicates the
last programmed speed.
Programming a speed
A speed can be programmed without
activating the limiter but with the
engine running. Activation/Deactivation (off)
Pressing this button once activates
the limiter, pressing the button again
deactivates it (OFF).

To memorise a speed higher than the
previous one:
- press the Set + button.
A brief press increases the speed by
1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press increases the
speed in steps of 5 mph (km/h).
To memorise a speed lower than the
previous one:
- press the Set - button.
A brief press decreases the speed by
1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press decreases the
speed in steps of 5 mph (km/h).

56
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 fi rmly beyond the point of
resistance .
The limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the programmed speed fl ashes.
To return to the limiter function, reduce
your speed to below the programmed
speed. Switching the function off
- Place the dial in position
0 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 three dashes.
Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the
system checked.
Good practice
Flashing of the speed
The speed fl ashes:
- following forcing of the accelerator point of resistance,
- when the limiter cannot prevent an increase in the vehicle speed due
to the profi le of the road or on a
steep descent,
- in the event of sharp acceleration. 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 profi le
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 fi xings
on the fl oor are positioned correctly,
- never place one mat on top of another.

Recirculation of interior air Air conditioning A/C
The diode on the button
is off. This is the preferred
operating position. Pressing the button triggers
the operation of the air
conditioning, the diode is lit.
Pressing the button again
switches the function off and
the diode is switched off.
The air conditioning does not operate if
the air fl ow is set to 0.
The air conditioning can only operate
with the engine running.
The diode on the button is
lit. Recirculation temporarily
prevents exterior odours
and smoke from entering the
passenger compartment.
Used with the setting of the force of
blown air (from 1 to 4), recirculation
enables you to obtain the required
ambient air comfort level more quickly
with both hot or cold settings.
This position should only be temporary.
When your ambient air comfort level
has been reached, return to the
intake of exterior air position to permit
renewal of the air in the passenger
compartment and avoid misting. This
operating mode is preferable.

Ventilation
Good practice
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible
to exceed the value 15 by turning until
LO is displayed or the value 27 by
turning until HI is displayed.
On entering the vehicle, the inside
temperature may be much colder (or
warmer) than is comfortable. There is
no advantage in changing the value
displayed in order to quickly reach the
level of comfort required. The system
will use its maximum performance to
reach the comfort value set.
DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING WITH SEPARATE SETTINGS
Automatic operation
AUTO comfort programme
This is the normal air conditioning
system operating mode. Driver or passenger side comfort
value
The value indicated in the screen
corresponds to a level of comfort and
not a temperature in degrees Celsius
or Fahrenheit.
Turn this control to the left
or to the right to decrease or
increase the value. A setting
around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However,
depending on your requirements, a
setting between 18 and 24 is usual.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor
located on the dashboard.
Press this button, the AUTO
symbol is displayed.
In accordance with the comfort
value selected, the system
controls the distribution, the
fl ow and the intake of air to guarantee
comfort and a suffi cient circulation of
air in the passenger compartment. No
further action on your part is required.
When the engine is cold, to prevent
an excessive diffusion of cold air, the
air diffuser will reach its optimum level
gradually.
For your comfort, the settings are
stored when the ignition is switched off
and are reinstated the next time the
vehicle is started.
The automatic function will no longer
be maintained if you change a setting
manually (AUTO is cleared).
