Exceeding the programmed
speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal in or-
der to exceed the programmed speed
will have no effect unless you press
the pedal fi rmly
beyond the point of
resistance
.
The limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the programmed speed which is
still displayed fl ashes.

Flashing of the speed
The speed fl ashes:


- following forcing of the accelerator
point of resistance,

- when the limiter cannot prevent
an increase in the vehicle speed
due to the profi le of the road or on
a steep descent,

- in the event of sharp acceleration.


In any event, the speed limiter can-
not replace the need to observe
speed limits, nor can it replace the
need for vigilance and responsibil-
ity on the part of the driver.
The driver must always pay attention
to the profi le of the road, take care
on sharp acceleration and remain in
perfect control of his vehicle.
To prevent the mat from becoming
trapped under the pedals:


- ensure that the mat and its fi xings
are positioned correctly,

-
never fi t one mat on top of another.




Switching the function off


)
Place dial in position 0
or switch
off the ignition to switch the sys-
tem off. The last programmed
speed remains in the memory.


Operating fault
In the event of a limiter malfunction,
a message is displayed on the multi-
function display accompanied by an
audible signal.

The programmed speed is cleared and
the dashes fl ash for a few seconds.
Contact a CITROËN dealer to have
the system checked. To return to the limiter function, re-
duce your speed to the programmed
speed or below.

DRIVING68 -
When changing the pro-
grammed reference speed
by means of a maintained
press, pay attention as the
speed can increase or de-
crease rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on slip-
pery roads or in heavy traffi c.
In the event of a steep slope, the
cruise control cannot prevent the
vehicle from exceeding the pro-
grammed speed.
In any event, the cruise control can-
not replace the need to observe the
speed limits, nor can it replace the
need for vigilance and responsibility
on the part of the driver.
It is advisable to leave your feet near
the pedals.
To prevent the mat from becoming
trapped under the pedals:

FRONT AIRBAGS
These are folded in the centre of the
steering wheel for the driver and in
the fascia for the front passenger.
They are deployed simultaneously,
except in cases where the passen-
ger airbag is disarmed, in the event
of a serious front impact applied in
the impact zone A
in the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle, on a hori-
zontal plane and from the front of the
vehicle towards the rear. The airbag
infl ates between the front occupant of
the vehicle and the fascia to cushion
his forward movement. The airbags
therefore limit the risk of injury to the
head and chest.
The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of serious collisions. They
work in conjunction with the force-lim-
iting seat belts. The electronic detec-
tors register and analyse any abrupt
deceleration of the vehicle in the im-
pact detection zones (see diagram):
if the triggering threshold is reached,
the airbags infl ate instantly and pro-
tect the occupants of the vehicle.

Impact detection zones


A.
Front impact zone.

B.
Side impact zone. Immediately after the impact, the
airbags defl ate rapidly so that they
do not hinder the visibility of the oc-
cupants nor their exit if necessary
from the vehicle.
The airbags are not deployed in the
case of minor impacts, rear impacts
or in certain roll-over conditions. The
seat belt is suffi cient to ensure maxi-
mum protection in these situations.
The seriousness of a collision de-
pends on the nature of the obstacle
and the speed of the vehicle at the
moment of the collision.

Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.


Note
: the gas escaping from
the airbags can be a minor
irritant.

DRIVING70 -
If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal, contact a CITROËN
dealer to have the system
checked. The airbags may
no longer be triggered in the event of
a serious impact.


Front airbag malfunction






Disarming the passenger
airbag

To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to disarm the pas-
senger airbag when you install a
rear-facing child seat on the front
passenger seat. Otherwise, the
child would risk being killed or se-
riously injured if the airbag were
to infl ate.



)
With the ignition switched off
,
insert the key into the passenger
airbag disarming switch 1
, turn it
to the "OFF"
position, then re-
move the key keeping the slot in
this position. The airbag warning light on
the instrument panel is lit
throughout the period of dis-
arming.
In the "OFF"
position, the passen-
ger airbag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the airbag slot to the "ON"
posi-
tion to re-activate the airbag and thus
ensure the safety of your passenger
in the event of an impact.

This is confi rmed by an indi-
cator light, accompanied by
a message on the display.
With the ignition on
(2nd notch), illumination of this
warning light indicates that the pas-
senger airbag is disarmed (switch in
the "OFF"
position).
If the two airbag warning
lights are lit continuously, do
not install a rear-facing child
seat. Consult a CITROËN
dealer.

CHECKING LEVELS

Dipstick

Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer's require-
ments.

Note:
the coolant does not need to
be changed.

For vehicles equipped with a par-
ticle fi lter, the engine fan may op-
erate after the ignition has been
switched off, even when the engine
is cold.

There are two marks
on the dipstick:

A
= maximum
Never fi ll past this
mark.

B
= minimum
To maintain the reli-
ability of engines and
emission control sys-
tems, the use of ad-
ditives in engine oil is
prohibited.


Brake fluid level

The brake fl uid must be changed ac-
cording to the manufacturer's servic-
ing schedule.
Use fl uids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfi l DOT4
standards.


Cooling system

Use the fl uid recommended by the
manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can op-
erate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by two turns to re-
lease the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.

Power steering reservoir



)
Open the reservoir, with the en-
gine at ambient temperature. The
level should always be above the
MIN. mark and close to the MAX.
mark.



Windscreen and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for
your safety, we would advise that
you use products recommended by
CITROËN.
For optimum cleaning and to prevent
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up or replaced with water.


Used products

Avoid products such as used oil and
brake fl uid coming into prolonged
contact with the skin.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fl uid or
coolant into drains or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers pro-
vided for this purpose in the CITROËN
dealer network (France) or to an author-
ised waste disposal site.


Oil level

It is normal to top up the engine oil
between services. CITROËN rec-
ommends that you check the oil
level, and top up if necessary, every
3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the oil level gauge
on the instrument panel or the dip-
stick.

ECONOMY MODE FUNCTION
After the engine has stopped, with
the key in the "accessories" position,
certain functions (windscreen wiper,
electric windows, courtesy lights,
audio equipment, etc.) can only be
used for a combined duration of ap-
proximately thirty minutes, to prevent
discharging the battery.
Once the thirty minutes are over, a
switching to economy mode mes-
sage appears on the multi-function
display and the active functions are
put on standby.
These functions are reactivated au-
tomatically next time the vehicle is
driven.
In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, the engine
must be started and left to run for a
few minutes.
The time available to you will then
be double the duration for which the
engine is left running. However, this
period will always be between fi ve
and thirty minutes.
