Driving
Four-speed automatic gearbox which offers a choice between the comfor t of fully automatic operation, enhanced by spor t and snow
programmes, or manual gear changing.
There are therefore four driving modes:-automatic
operation for electronic management of the gears by the gearbox,
-
sportprogramme for a more dynamic style
of driving,

- snowprogramme to improve driving when
traction is poor,

-
sequentialoperation for manual changing
of the gears by the driver.

Speed limiter
exceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached, pressing the accelerator pedal in the normalmanner no longer has any effect.

The speed limiter is switched onmanually:
it requires a pro
grammed speed of at least
20 mph (30 km/h).

The speed limiter is switched offby manual foperation of the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporaril
y by pressing the accelerator firmly.
To return to the programmed speed, simply slow down to a speed below the programmed speed.


The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need torespect speed limits, nor can it replacethe need for vigilance and responsibility on the par t of the driver.

Driving





Cruise control
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 electronic gearbox, in sequential mode,

- position A
on an electronic gearbox or position D
on an automatic gearbox.
Th
e cruise control is switched off
manually for 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 accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value. The controls o

obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) which comes within the field of detection of sensorslocated in the bumper.
Cer tain types of obstacle (stake, roadworkscone, etc.) detected initially will no longer bedetected at the end of the manoeuvre due to
the presence of blind spots.






Rear parking sensors


This function cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear. This is accompanied by an audible signal.
The s
ystem is switched off when you come out
of reverse
gear.
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by anintermittent audible signal, the frequency of which increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)indicates the side on which the obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle andthe obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomescontinuous.



Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal bydisplaying bars in the multifunction screen
which move progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is near, the "Danger" symbol is also displayed in the screen.

temporaril
y ("headlamp flash") by maintaining apull on the stalk.

Visibility
In good or rainy weather, both day and night, the front foglamps and the rear foglamp are prohibited. In thesesituations, the power of their beams may dazzle other drivers. They shouldonly be used in fog or snow. In these weather conditions, it is your responsibility to switch on the foglamps and dipped beam headlamps manuallyas the sunshine sensor may detect sufficient light.
Do not forget to switch off the frontfoglamps and the rear foglamp when they are no longer necessary.


Switching on the lampsafter the ignition isswitched off

To reactivate the lighting control, rotate the ring to the "0"position - lamps off, then to the desired position. On opening the driver's door atemporary audible signal warns thedriver that the lighting is on.
The lamps, with the exception of thesidelamps, switch off automatically after a maximum duration of thir ty minutes to prevent discharging of the battery.

Switching off the lampswhen the ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of thelamps turn off immediately, except for dipped beam if guide-me-home lighting is activated.

Safety
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
programme (ESP)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction to prevent skidding
of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of thedriving wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability programme acts on the
brake o
f one or more wheels and on the engine to
keep the vehicle on the trajectory required by the
driver, within the limits of the laws of physics.
This is indicated b
y flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.



The ASR /ESP systems offer exceptional safety in normal driving, butthis should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these systems depends on obser vation of the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),the braking components, the electronic components and the assembly and repair procedures used by theCITROËN dealer network.
After an impact, have these systems checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.



Operating fault

Illumination of the warning lamp,
accompanid b
y a message in the screen indicates a malfunction of
these systems.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automatically every time the ignition is switched of, or from
30 mph (50 km/h).) Press this button again to reactivate them
manually.
The lamp in the button goes off.
The symbol going off in the instrument panel
indicates the reactivation of the ASR and ESP
s
ystems.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, ...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR and ESP systems, so that the wheelscan move freely and regain grip.














Trajectory control systems
Activation
These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem.The displa
y of this symbol indicates
that the ASR and ESP systems are deactivated.
) Press this button button, located on
the dashboard (driver's side), until the corresponding symbol appears in the
instrument panel screen.
The lamp in the button comes on. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the ASR /ESP s
ystems checked.


Coasting with the engine off results in a loss of power assistance for the steering.

Practical information
Changing a fuse
GoodFailed CITROËN will not accept responsibilityfor the cost incurred in repairing your vehicle or for rectifying malfunctions resulting from the installation of accessories not supplied and not
recommended by CITROËN andnot installed in accordance with its instructions, in par ticular when thecombined consumption of all of the additional equipment connectedexceeds 10 milliamperes.



Installing electricalaccessories

Your vehicle's electrical system isdesigned to operate with standard or optional equipment.
Before installing other electrical equipment or accessories on your vehicle, contact a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop. Be
fore changing a fuse:
)the cause of the failure must be identifiedand rectified, )all electrical consumers must be switched
off,
)the vehicle must be immobilised with theignition off,)identify the failed fuse using the tables andlayout drawings in the following pages.
To replace a fuse,
you must: )use the special tweezer to extract the fuse
from its housing and check the condition of its filament.)always replace the failed fuse with a fuse
of the same rating (same colour); using a
different rating could cause faults (risk of fire).
Tweezer
The replacement of a fuse not shown in the tables below may cause a serious malfunction of your vehicle. Contacta CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

If the fuse fails again soon after replacement, have the vehicle's electricalsystem checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
