Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay.
Particle
emissions filter
(Diesel) fixed, accompanied by
an audible signal.
This indicates that the particle
emissions filter is starting to become
saturated. As soon as driving conditions allow, regenerate the
filter by driving at a speed of at least 35 mph (60 km/h)
until the warning lamp goes off (see the "Checks
-
Particle emissions filter" section).
fixed, accompanied by
an audible signal. This indicates the low level of the
additive reservoir. Have the reservoir topped up as soon as possible by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop (see the
"Checks - Additive level" section).
Under-inflation fixed, accompanied by
an audible signal and
a message. The pressure in one or more tyres is
too low.
Check the tyre pressures as soon as possible.
This check should preferably be carried out when the
tyres are cold.
You must reinitialise the system after the adjustment
of one or more tyre pressures and after changing one
or more wheels.
For more information, refer to the "Under-inflation
detection" section.

Under-inflation alert
This is given by fixed illumination of
this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and, depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
F

R

educe speed immediately, avoid
excessive steering movements and sudden
braking
F

S

top the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check. The alert is maintained until the system
is reinitialised.
F
I n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment),
or
F

i
f you have a compressor, such as the one
in the temporary puncture repair kit, check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold,
or
F

i
f it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
Reinitialisation
It is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time one or more tyre pressure is adjusted, and
after changing one or more wheels.
a

label attached to the middle pillar, driver's
side, gives a reminder of this.
be

fore reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the
tyre pressure label.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

gearbox which offers a choice between the
comfort of automated operation or the pleasure
of manual gear changing.
Two driving modes are offered:
-
a
utomated mode for automatic control
of the gears by the gearbox, without any
action by the driver,
-

m
anual mode for the sequential changing
of the gears by the driver, using the gear
selector or the steering mounted control
paddles.
In automated mode, you can temporarily take
control of gear changes at any time, using the
steering mounted control paddles.
The steering mounted paddles do not
allow neutral to be selected, reverse
gear to be engaged or disengaged, or
the driving mode to be changed.

et the programmed speed by
accelerating to the required speed, then
press button 2 or 3 (e.g.: 70 mph
(110 km/h)).
Exceeding the programmed speed
Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the programmed speed
results in flashing of this speed in the screen.
Return to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or
unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the
flashing of the speed.
Leaving cruise control mode
F Turn thumb wheel 1 to the "0" position: the cruise control mode is
deselected. The display returns to the distance recorder.
F

: the screen
confirms that it has been switched off (PAUSE).
F
S
witch the cruise control back on by pressing button 4 again.
Operating fault
In the event of a cruise control malfunction,
the speed is cleared resulting in flashing of the
dashes. Have it checked by a CITR
oËn

dealer
or a qualified workshop.
When the cruise control is switched on,
be careful if you maintain the pressure
on one of the programmed speed
changing buttons: this may result in a
very rapid change in the speed of your
vehicle.
do n

ot use the cruise control on
slippery roads or in heavy traffic.
on a s

teep 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:
-

e
nsure that the mat is secured
c o r r e c t l y,
-

n
ever fit one mat on top of another.
You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 2 and 3
:
-

b

y + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press,
-

b

y + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press,
-

i

n steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.
