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 pedal in the normal
manner no longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched on manually:
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 exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
slow down to a speed below the programmed
speed.
The programmed speed remains in the system
memory when the ignition is switched off.
The limiter can under no circumstances
replace respect for speed limits, or the
vigilance of the driver.Steering mounted controls

Pressing the accelerator pedal in order to
exceed the programmed speed will have
no effect unless you press the pedal firmly
beyond the point of resistance .
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the programmed speed, which is still
displayed, flashes, accompanied by an audible
signal.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means
of intentional or unintentional deceleration of
the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing
of the programmed speed and the audible
signal stops.
Exiting the limiter mode Malfunction
In the event of a speed limiter fault, the speed
is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes.
Have them checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
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.

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.
Cruise control is switched on manually: it
requires a minimum speed of at least 25 mph
(40 km/h) and the engagement of:
-

F
ourth gear on a manual gearbox.

Rear parking sensors
This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.)
entering the field of detection of sensors
located in the bumper.
Due to blind areas, obstacles of certain types
(posts, worksite markers, etc.) which were
detected initially won't be any longer by the end
of the operation.This system cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
The system is switched on by engaging the
reverse gear. This is accompanied by an
audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear.
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches 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 screen which move
progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed on the screen.

Reversing camera
The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
The image is displayed on the touch screen.
The reversing camera function may be
supplemented with parking sensors.The superimposed representation of guide
lines helps with the manoeuvre.
They are represented by lines marked "on
the ground" and do not allow the position of
the vehicle to be determined relative to tall
obstacles (for example: other vehicles, ...).
Some deformation of the image is normal.
The blue lines represent the general direction
of the vehicle (the gap represents the width of
your vehicle except for the door mirrors).
The red line represent a distance of about
30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
b u m p e r.
The green lines represent distances of about 1
and 2 metres beyond the edge of your vehicle's
rear bumper.
The turquoise blue curves represent the
maximum turning circle. The reversing camera cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of of the driver.
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, do not direct
the lance within 30 cm of the camera lens.
Opening the tailgate causes the display to
disappear.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.

Coolant level
The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low coolant level presents a risk of serious
damage to your engine.
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top-up.
When the engine is hot, 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 the risk of scalding when you need to
top-up in an emergency, place a cloth around
the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to
allow the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top-up the level.Check the coolant level regularly.
It is normal to top up the fluid
between two services.
Fluid specification
The fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be
caught by the fan blades.
Screenwash fluid level
Top up the level when necessary.
Fluid specification
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up or replaced
with plain water.
In wintry conditions, it is recommended that you
use an ethyl alcohol or methanol based fluid.
Diesel additive level (Diesel
engine with particle filter)
A low additive level is indicated by illumination
of the service warning light, accompanied by an
audible warning and a message in the screen
(if a display screen is fitted).
To p p i n g u p
This additive must be topped-up by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop without delay.
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health
or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a
CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop and dispose of in
the containers made available for this
purpose.
