Remarks:When the vehicle reduces speed, for example approach-ing a stop sign or traffi c lights, the gearbox changes down automatically to 1st gear.
In manual mode, it is not neces-sary to release the accelerator during changes of gear.




A command to change gear is accepted only if the engine speed permits this.As the engine reaches maxi-mum revs and conditions per-mit, the system will automati-cally engage a higher gear.
Re-initialisation
The Electronic Gearbox System requires a re-initialisation after one of the following events:Change of battery or discon-nection of battery.Starting the engine with an assisting battery.
A system malfunction.
To re-initialise the system:Switch on the ignition. A dash and “AUTO” will display in the instrument panel.

Cruise control must only be used where the traffi c conditions permit driving at a constant speed.
Do not use it on congested roads or when the weather or the road conditions are poor.
This driving assistance function allows you to drive at the spee d of your choice without the need to action the accelerator.
This device is active at speeds above approx. 40 km/h (25 mph), in the higher gears only.
The button A for cruise control is located on the lighting control stalk.
Remark: The information relating to the cruise control is displayed in the instrument panel screen at B. This display causes the trip computer infor-mation to disappear (if it is shown on the instrument panel).
To select the function
Turn the control 1 to the “CRUISE” position.
When you select the function via control 1, no speed has yet been memorised.
To select a cruise speed
Accelerate to the desired speed, then give a short press on butt on 2 or button 4.
The cruise speed is then memorised. It is shown in the display on instrument panel B.
You can then release the accelerator pedal. The vehicle will automatically keep to that chosen speed.
Remark: The vehicle speed may vary slightly from that memorised.

Temporary override of the cruise speed
While cruise control is in operation, it is always possible to go above the cruise speed simply by pressing the ac cel-erator pedal (for example to overtake another vehic le). The speed displayed fl ashes. You have only to release the accelerator pedal to return to your cruise speed.
Remark: If during cruise control the system cannot keep to the cruise speed (e.g. on a steep descent), then the speed fl ashes. If necessary, brake to curb your speed.
Adjustment of the memorised speed while cruise control is in operation
To adjust the memorised speed, displayed in zone B, press:Button 4 to increase the speed.Button 2 to decrease the speed.
Remark: Successive presses will modify the cruise speed in steps of 1 km/h and a continuous press in steps of 5 km/h (3 mph) .
Disengagement of the memorised cruise speed.Either by pressing the brake pedal or the clutch pedal.Or by the ESP or ASR systems being active.
Or by pressing button 3.Note: Cruise control is deactivated if the gear lever is in neutral (position N)




Reactivation of cruise controlBy recalling the memorised speed:
Following a disengagement, press on control 3.Your vehicle automatically resumes the memorised cruise speed, which then displays on the screen in instrument panel B.
By selecting the current speed:
Give a short press on button 2 or 4, once the desired speed is reached.The information “OFF” then disappears from the dis-play.
If the memorised cruise speed is higher than the current speed, the vehicle will accelerate to match it.
To cancel the functionBy moving the control from the “CRUISE” position to the 0 position.Or stop the engine.
The speed that was chosen is no longer memorised.
Remark:
While cruise control is in operation, the displayed speed fl ashes if the memorised speed is exceeded.
If there is a malfunction, either the memorised speed or the dashes “- - -” will fl ash and the warning lamp “OFF” will come on permanently in the display.
Contact a CITROËN dealer.




These actions bring up the informa-tion “OFF” in the instrument panel display.
These actions do not cancel the cruise speed which remains displayed.
The driver still has to remain attentive and in complete control of his vehicle.
You are recommended to keep your feet within range of the pedals.

The temperature inside the cabin cannot be lower than the temperature outside if the air conditioning is not operating.
The air conditioning maintains optimum com-fort whatever the climatic conditions, through permanent automatic operation (you have pressed the “AUTO” button).Note: The automatic mode only calls for conditioned air in order to attain the desired cabin temperature or to remove air humidity. Therefore the air conditioning warning lamp may come on only intermittently.

1. Automatic operation
This is the normal operating mode for the system.
A press on this button, confi rmed by “AUTO” on the display, assures auto-matic control of:The air fl ow.
The cabin temperature. The air distribution.
Air recirculation.
Air conditioning.

3. Temperature adjustment
To obtain the desired temperature, press the appropri-ate key:
- To lower the temperature.
+ To raise the temperature.
An adjustment around 22°C will give you a temperature that is comfortable.
You may wish to vary this between 20°C and 24°C according to your preference.
HI (high): Demand for maximum heat.
LO (low): Demand for maximum cold.Note: When starting from cold, in order to prevent unwanted cold air, the air fl ow will increase only gradually to its optimum level.
On entering the vehicle after a prolonged stop, when the interior temperature has again become too cold (or too hot) for comfort, do not alter the tempera-ture setting to try and restore the desired comfort level. The system automatically uses all of its power to compensate the temperature gap as quickly as possible.
