DRIVING
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.
Programming
)
Turn thumb wheel 1
to the "LIMIT"
position: 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 buttons 2
and 3
:
- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press,
- by + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press,
- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.
)
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).
)
Switch the speed limiter back on by pressing button 4
again.
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 intentional
or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically
cancels the fl ashing of the programmed speed.
Leaving limiter mode
)
Turn thumb wheel 1
to the "0"
position: the speed limiter
mode is deselected. The display returns to the distance
recorder.
Operating fault
In the event of a speed limiter fault, the
speed is cleared resulting in fl ashing of
the dashes.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

DRIVING
The cruise control cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to respect speed limits, nor can it re-
place the need for vigilance and re-
sponsibility on the part of the driver.
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.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: it requires a minimum vehicle
speed of 25 mph (40 km/h), as well as
the engagement of:
- fourth gear on a manual gearbox,
- second gear on a or automatic or elec-
tronic gearbox, in sequential mode,
- position A
on an electronic gearbox
or position D
on an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off
man-
ually or by pressing the brake or clutch
pedal or on triggering of the ESP system
for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed
speed 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. The controls of this system are grouped
together on stalk A

DRIVING
When the cruise control is
switched on, be careful if you
maintain the pressure on one of
the programmed speed chang-
ing 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.
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 thumb wheel 1
to the
"CRUISE"
position: the cruise
control mode is selected but is not
switched on (PAUSE).
)
Set the programmed speed by
accelerating to the required
speed, then press button 2
or 3
(e.g.: 70 mph (110 km/h)).
You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 2
and 3
:
- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press,
- by + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press,
- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.
Exceeding the programmed speed
Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the programmed
speed results in fl ashing of this speed in the screen.
Return to the programmed speed, by means of intentional
or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically
cancels the fl ashing of the speed.
Leaving cruise control mode
)
Turn thumb wheel 1
to the "0"
position: the cruise control
mode is deselected. The display returns to the distance
recorder.
)
Switch off the cruise control by pressing button 4
: the
screen confi rms that it has been switched off (PAUSE).
)
Switch the cruise control back on by pressing button 4
again.
Operating fault
In the event of a cruise control malfunc-
tion, the speed is cleared resulting in
fl ashing of the dashes. Have it checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
If the telephone is being used at
the same time on the MyWay au-
dio navigation system, it will be
interrupted after 10 minutes. A fl at battery prevents the engine
from starting (refer to the corre-
sponding paragraph).
ENERGY ECONOMY MODE
System which manages the period of
use of certain functions to conserve a
suffi cient level of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio
equipment, windscreen wipers, dipped
beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc.
for a maximum combined period of
thirty minutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once this period has elapsed, a mes-
sage appears on the multifunction
screen indicating that the vehicle has
switched to economy mode and the ac-
tive functions are put on standby.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated auto-
matically the next time the vehicle is
driven.
)
In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, start the en-
gine and let it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be dou-
ble the period for which the engine is left
running. However, this period will always
be between fi ve and thirty minutes.
This period may be greatly re-
duced if the battery is not fully
charged.
CHANGING A FRONT OR REARWIPER BLADE
Procedure for replacing a worn wiper
blade with a new one without the use
of tools.
Before removing a front wiper
blade
)
Within one minute after switching off
the ignition, operate the wiper stalk
to position the wiper blades in the
vertical position.
This position must be used in order to
avoid damaging the wiper blade and the
bonnet.
Removal
)
Raise the corresponding wiper arm.
)
Unclip the wiper blade and remove it.
Fitting
)
At the front, check the size of the wiper
blade as the shorter blade is fi tted to
the passenger side of the vehicle.
)
Put the corresponding new wiper
blade in place and clip it.
)
Fold down the wiper arm carefully.
After fitting a front wiper blade
)
Switch on the ignition.
)
Operate the wiper stalk again to
park the wiper blades.

The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, if the GVW of the towing vehicle is reduced by an
equal amount. Warning: towing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned
must be reduced by 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the performance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient

The MyWay is protected in such a way that it will onlyoperate in your vehicle. If it is to be installed in another vehicle, contact a CITROËN dealer for confi guration of py
the system.
Certain functions described in this handbook will
become available during the year.
MyWay
For safety reasons, the driver must carry out operations which require prolonged attention while the vehicle is stationary.
When the en
gine is switched off and to prevent
discharging of the battery, the MyWay switches off
following the activation of the Energy Economy mode.
