system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the vigilance or
responsibility of the driver. Puncture
The service warning lamp
comes on in the instru-
ment panel, accompanied
by an audible signal and
a message on the multi-
function screen locating
the wheel concerned.
Check the tyre pressures as soon as
possible. This check must be carried
out when the tyres are cold. The
STOP warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and a mes-
sage on the multifunction
screen locating the wheel
concerned.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden
movement of the steering wheel and
the brakes.

Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
The service warning
lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, ac-
companied by an audible
signal and a message on
the multifunction screen
locating the wheel or wheels which
are not detected or indicating a fault
in the system.
Have the faulty sensor(s) checked
by a CITROËN dealer. All repairs and changing of tyres
o n a w h e e l fi t t e d w i t h t h i s s y s t e m
must be carried out by a CITROËN
dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you in-
stall a wheel which is not detected
b y y o u r v e h i c l e ( e x a m p l e : fi t t i n g
of snow tyres), you must have the
system reinitialised by a CITROËN
dealer.
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pres-
sure checked regularly (refer to the
" T e c h n i c a l d a t a - § I d e n t i fi c a t i o n
markings" section) to ensure that
the optimum dynamic perform-
ance of the vehicle is maintained
and prevent premature wear of the
tyres, particularly in arduous driv-
ing conditions (heavy load, high
speed).
The tyre pressures must be
checked cold, at least once a
month. Remember to check the
pressure of the spare wheel.

AIR BAGS
S y s t e m d e s i g n e d t o m a x i m i s e t h e
safety of the occupants (with the
e x c e p t i o n o f t h e r e a r c e n t r e p a s -
senger) in the event of violent
collisions. It supplements the action
of the force-limiting seat belts.
If a collision occurs, the electronic
detectors record and analyse the
front and side impacts sustained in
the impact detection zones:
- in the case of a serious impact, the air bags are triggered instant-
ly and protect the occupants of
t h e v e h i c l e ( w i t h t h e e x c e p t i o n o f
the rear centre passenger); im-
mediately after the impact, the

they do not hinder visibility or the
e x i t o f t h e o c c u p a n t s ,
- in the case of a minor or rear impact or in certain roll-over con-
ditions, the air bags will not be
triggered; the seat belt alone is
s u f fi c i e n t t o p r o v i d e o p t i m u m
protection in these situations.
The air bags do not operate when
the ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only operate
once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subsequent
accident), the air bag will not operate. Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
Triggering of the air bag(s) is ac-
companied by a slight emission of
harmless smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sen-
s i t i v e i n d i v i d u a l s m a y e x p e r i e n c e
slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result in a slight loss of hearing for
a short time. Front airbags
System which protects the head and
chest of the driver and front passenger
in the event of a front impact.
The driver's airbag is incorporated
in the centre of the steering wheel;
the front passenger's airbag is incor-
porated in the dashboard above the
g l o v e b o x .
Activation
The airbags are triggered simultane-
ously, unless the passenger's front
airbag is deactivated, in the event of
a serious front impact applied to all
or part of the front impact zone
A ,
in the longitudinal centreline of the
vehicle on a horizontal plane and di-
rected from the front to the rear of
the vehicle.
T h e f r o n t a i r b a g i n fl a t e s b e t w e e n t h e
front occupant of the vehicle and the
dashboard to cushion their forward
movement.

Operation in manual mode
Move the selector to po-
sition M .
Paddle controls
behind the steering
wheel
The paddles behind the steering
wheel give you access to the six for-
ward gears. Changing gear
Pull the "
+
" paddle to change up
a gear.
Pull the " -
" paddle to change
down a gear. The paddles do not permit you to
select neutral or reverse gear, or to
exit reverse gear.
- If the vehicle stops or reduces
speed (for example when ap-
proaching a stop sign), the gear-
box changes down automatically,
t o fi r s t g e a r i f n e e d e d .
- In manual mode, it is not neces-sary to release the accelerator
completely during gear changes.
- A request to change gear is ac- cepted only if the engine speed
permits it.
- For safety reasons, depending on the engine speed, a change down
may be performed automatically.
In situations of high engine
speeds (heavy acceleration),
a change up will not occur
unless the driver operates
the paddle.

SPEED LIMITER
System which prevents the vehi-
cle from exceeding the speed pro-
grammed by the driver.
Once the limit speed has been
reached, the accelerator pedal no
longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched on
manually: a speed of at least 20 mph
(around 30 km/h) must be pro-
grammed.
The speed limiter controls are located
on the left-hand side of the steering
wheel. The programmed information is
grouped together in zone
A of the
instrument panel display.
Steering wheel controls
Displays on the instrument panel
Programming
Rotate the control 1 to the "LIM"
position. With the engine running, you can
adjust the memorised maximum
speed, by means of short or long
presses on:
button 4 to increase the memo-
rised maximum speed,
button 2 to decrease the memo-
rised maximum speed.
Successive presses will modify the
maximum speed in steps of 1 mph
and a sustained press in steps of
3 mph.
Activation
When the desired maximum speed
is displayed, press button 3 so that
the limitation is activated.
On selection of the
function, the previous
memorised speed and
the information "OFF"
are displayed on the
instrument panel. The information
"OFF"
then disappears from the
instrument panel display.
While the function is active, pressing
the accelerator pedal will not enable the
programmed speed to be exceeded,
except if you press the pedal hard down
to beyond the end-of-travel switch.
The speed of your vehicle may vary
slightly in relation to that memorised.
The speed limiter cannot, in any circum-
stances, take the place of the observ-
ance of speed limits or of the vigilance
and responsibility of the driver.

CRUISE CONTROL
System which automatically main-
tains the vehicle speed programmed
by the driver, without any action on
the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: the vehicle speed must be
at least 25 mph (approx. 40 km/h)
and you must engage:
- fourth gear on a manual gearbox,
- second gear, in sequential mode, on an electronic gearbox or au-
tomatic gearbox,
- position A on an electronic gear-
box or D on an automatic gearbox.
Steering wheel controls
The cruise control switches are lo-
cated on the left-hand side of the
steering wheel. The programmed information is
grouped together in zone
A of the
instrument panel display.
Displays on the instrument panel
Activation You can then release the accelerator
pedal. The vehicle will automatically
keep to the speed chosen.
The speed of your vehicle may vary
slightly in relation to that memo-
rised.
You can adjust the memorised speed
on the instrument panel display by
pressing on:
button 4 to increase the speed,
button 2 to decrease the speed.
Successive presses modify the
cruise speed in steps of 1 mph and a
sustained press in steps of 3 mph.
Deactivation
Either by pressing on the brake
pedal or on the clutch pedal.
Or by pressing button 3 .
Or if either the ESP or the ASR
system is active.
The cruise control is not active if the
gear lever is in neutral.
On selection of the
function via control
1,
no cruise speed has
yet been memorised.
Programming
Rotate the control
1 to the "REG"
position.
Once the desired speed has been
reached using the accelerator, press
button 2 or button 4 . The cruise
speed is then memorised. It is dis-
played in zone A of the instrument
panel. These actions cause
the information
"OFF"
to appear on the instru-
ment panel display.
These actions do
not cancel the cruise
speed which remains
displayed in the instru-
ment panel.
The cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the ob-
servance of speed limits or of the vigi-
lance and responsibility of the driver.
