Cruise control must only be
used where the traffi c condi-
tions permit driving at a con-
stant speed.
Do not use it on congested roads
or when the weather or the road
conditions are poor.
The driver must remain attentive
and in complete control of the ve-
hicle.
You are recommended to keep your feet within range of the pedals.
Overriding the programmed
speed
While cruise control is in operation,
it is always possible to go above the
programmed speed simply by pres-
sing the accelerator pedal (for ex-
ample to overtake another vehicle).
The speed displayed in zone A
fl ashes.
You only have to release the ac-
celerator pedal to return to the pro-
grammed speed.
Suspension/Resumption

 Either by pressing the brake
pedal or the clutch pedal.

 Or by pressing button 3 .

 Or by the ESP or ASR systems
being active.
For vehicles with a manual gearbox,
cruise control is deactivated if the
gear lever is in neutral. Reactivation
-
By recalling the memorised
speed
After deactivation, press button 3 .
Your vehicle automatically returns
to the memorised cruising speed.
The memorised speed and "ON"
are displayed in zone A .
If the memorised cruising speed is higher than the current speed,
the vehicle will accelerate strong-ly to reach the current speed.
- By selecting the current speed
Press button 1 or 2 once the de-
sired speed has been reached.
The new speed and "ON" will
appear in zone A .
Return to normal driving

 Either press on button 5 .

 Or select the cruise control func-
tion.

 Or stop the engine.
The speed that was chosen is no
longer memorised.

"PAUSE" will be displayed in zone A
of the instrument panel.
These actions do not cancel the
cruising speed which remains dis-
played on the instrument panel. Operating fault

If there is a malfunction, a mes-
sage is displayed accompanied by
an audible signal and lighting of the

SERVICE warning lamp.
Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer.

Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid
Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fl uid must not be
topped up or replaced with water.
Reservoir capacities:
-
screenwash: approximately 3.5 litres,
- screenwash and headlamp wash: approximately 6.15 litres. Diesel additive level
(Diesel engine with particle
emission filter)
A low additive level is indicated by
lighting of the service warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible warning
and a message on the multifunction
screen.
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by
a CITROËN dealer without delay.
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of
used oil or fl uids with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful to
health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or
fl uids into sewers or onto the
ground.
Take used oil to a CITROËN dealer
(France) or an authorised waste
disposal site.
In the case of vehicles fi tted
with headlamp washers, the
minimum level of this fl uid is
indicated by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the multifunc-
tion screen.
Top up the level when you stop the
vehicle.
Coolant level
Coolant change
The coolant does not have to be
changed.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations. The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the
ignition 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 en-
gine 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.
To avoid any risk of scalding, un-
screw the cap by two turns to al-
low the pressure to drop. When the
pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level.

CHECKS
Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance
with the Maintenance and Warranty
Guide and according to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
Battery The battery does not re-
quire any maintenance.
However, check that the
terminals are clean and
correctly tightened, particu-
larly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the bat-
tery, refer to the "Practical infor-
mation" section for details of the
precautions to be taken before dis-
connecting the battery and following
its reconnection.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the Maintenance
and Warranty Guide for
details of the replacement
intervals for these compo-
nents.
Depending on the environment (e.g.
dusty atmosphere) and the use of
the vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace
them twice as often if necessary
(refer to the “Engines” section).
A clogged passenger compartment
fi lter may have an adverse effect on
the performance of the air condition-
ing system and generate undesirable
odours.
Oil filter
Replace the oil fi lter each
time the engine oil is
changed. Particle filter system (Diesel)
Complementary to the catalytic
converter, this fi lter makes an ac-
tive contribution to the preservation
of air quality by the retaining of the
unburnt pollutant particles. Black
exhaust fumes are thus no longer
emitted.
After prolonged idling or driving at very
low speeds, you may occasionally no-
tice water vapour being emitted from
the exhaust when accelerating. This is
of no consequence to the running of
the vehicle or to the environment.
If there is risk of clogging, a mes-
sage appears on the instrument
panel display, accompanied by an
audible signal and lighting of the
service warning lamp.
This alert tells you that the particle
fi lter is starting to fi ll up (in condi-
tions of urban driving of excep-
tionally long duration: low speeds,
traffi c jams etc.).
To regenerate the fi lter, it is advised to drive as soon as possible, when
traffi c conditions permit, at a speed
of 40 mph (around 60 km/h) or
more for at least fi ve minutes (until
the alert message disappears).
If this alert persists, consult a
CITROËN dealer.
Refer to the Maintenance and
Warranty Guide for details of
the replacement interval for this
component.

* The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, on condition that the GVW of the towing vehicle is reduced
by the same amount; warning, towing with a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
