The cruise control cannot, in any cir-
cumstances, take the place of the
need to comply with speed limits or
of the vigilance and responsibility of
the driver.
System which permits automatic main-
taining of the vehicle speed at the value
programmed by the driver, without any
action on the accelerator pedal.

The
cruise control is switched on
manually: the vehicle speed must be
25 mph (40 km/h) minimum and sec-
ond gear at least must be engaged in
the case of a manual gearbox.

The cruise control is switched off
manually, by an action on the brake or
clutch pedal or if the ASC system is trig-
gered.

The programmed speed can be ex-
ceeded temporarily by pressing the ac-
celerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply release the accelerator pedal.

Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value.

AUDIBLE REAR PARKING
ASSISTANCE
It detects any obstacle (person, vehicle,
tree, gate, etc.) located behind the
vehicle, but it cannot detect obstacles
located immediately below the bumper. Activation
The parking assistance is activated by
engaging reverse gear.
The proximity information is indicated
by an audible signal which becomes
more frequent as the vehicle approach-
es the obstacle.
When a certain distance between the
rear of the vehicle and the obstacle is
reached, the audible signal becomes
continuous:
An object such as a stake, a road
works cone or any other similar object
may be detected at the beginning of
the manoeuvre but may no longer
be detected when the vehicle moves
closer to it.
Location of the sensors
The vehicle is fi tted with four sensors:
- two side sensors
A
- two central sensors B . Vehicle only
Vehicle fi tted with a towbar
Detection zones
The detection zones differ according to
the vehicle’s equipment, with or without
towbar.
Therefore, you can select the towbar
mode, the fi tting zone
C is excluded
from the detection zones.
The parking assistance system
cannot, in any circumstances, take
the place of the need for vigilance
and responsibility on the part of the
driver.
Sensors

Distance between
vehicle and
obstacle less than:
Side A Approximately
25 cm
Central B without
towbar Approximately
40 cm
Central B with
towbar Approximately
60 cm
System consisting of proximity sensors,
installed in the rear bumper.

CHECKING LEVELS Brake fluid level To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the
pressure to drop. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and top
up the level.
Oil level The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes.
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the oil
level indicator on the instrument panel,
or using the dipstick.
Between two oil changes, the con-
sumption should not exceed 0.5 litre
per 600 miles (1,000 km). The brake fl uid level should be
between the “MAX” and “MIN”
marks.
If it is not, check the brake pad
wear.
Draining the circuit
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Coolant level
The coolant level must be
measured when the engine is
cold and should be between
the “LOW” and “FULL” marks.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the ig-
nition off.

On vehicles which are fi tted with a
particle emission fi lter, the fan may
operate after the vehicle has been
switched off, even if the engine is
cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work. Wash-wipe and headlamp
wash * fluid
Check the fl uid level regularly,
using the gauge.
* According to country.
Draining the engine
Refer to the servicing booklet 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.
Oil specifi cation
The oil must correspond to your engine
and conform to the manufacturer’s rec-
ommendations. Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer’s recommendations and
fulfi l the DOT4 standards.
Draining the circuit
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer’s recommendations.
Fluid specifi cation
This fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer’s recommendations for
optimum cleaning.
Power steering fluid level
Check the fl uid level with the engine at
idle.
Check that the power steering fl uid level
is always between the “MAX” and “MIN”
marks and top up if necessary.
Fluid specifi cation
This fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the
corresponding circuit checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
