BLIND SPOT SENSORS
This driving assistance system warns
the driver of the presence of another
vehicle in the blind spot angle of their
vehicle (areas masked from the driver's
fi eld of vision), as soon as this presents
a potential danger.
Operation
)
On switching on the ignition, or en-
gine running, press this button to
activate the function; the warning
lamp comes on.
This system is designed to im-
prove safety when driving and is
in no circumstances a substitute
for the use of the interior rear
view mirror and door mirrors. It
is the driver's responsibility to
constantly check the traffi c, to
asses the distances and relative
speeds of other vehicles and
to predict their movements be-
fore deciding whether to change
lane.
The blind spot sensor system
can never replace the vigilance
and responsibility of the driver.
Sensors fi tted in the front and rear bum-
pers monitor the blind spots. A warning lamp appears in the door
mirror on the side in question:
- immediately, when being overtaken,
- after a delay of about one second,
when overtaking a vehicle slowly.

The system may suffer tem-
porary interference in certain
weather conditions(rain, hail...).
In particular, driving on a wet sur-
face or moving from a dry area to
a wet area can cause false alerts
(for example, the presence of a
fog of water droplets in the blind
spot angle is interpreted as a ve-
hicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
by mud, ice or snow.
Take care not to cover the warn-
ing zone in the door mirrors or
the detection zones on the front
and rear bumpers with adhesive
labels or other objects; they may
hamper the correct operation of
the system.
)
To deactivate the system, press this
button again; the warning lamp goes
off.
The state of the system remains in
memory on switching off the ignition.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault, the warning lamp
in the button fl ashes then goes off.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
The system is automatically de-
activated when towing with a
towbar approved by CITROËN.

SPEED LIMITER
System which prevents the vehicle
from exceeding the speed programmed
by the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is
reached, pressing the accelerator pedal
no longer has any effect.
The speed limiter cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need
to respect speed limits, nor can
it replace the need for vigilance
and responsibility on the part of
the driver. The functions of this system are grouped
together on the steering mounted con-
trols.

Operation
The speed limiter is switched on
man-
ually: it requires a programmed speed
of at least 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off
by
manual operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be ex-
ceeded temporarily by pressing the
accelerator fi rmly beyond the point of
resistance.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply release the accelerator pedal.
The programmed speed remains in the
memory when the ignition is switched
off.

Displays in the instrument panel
Operation
The cruise control is switched on
manually: it requires a minimum ve-
hicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and
engagement of:
- fourth gear on the manual gearbox,
- second gear on the electronic gear-
box system or automatic gearbox, in
sequential driving mode,
-
position A
on the electronic gearbox
system or D
on the automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off
man-
ually or 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 ac-
celerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value.

The function displays the following
types of message:
Parking possible
Parking diffi cult
Parking not advised
The function deselects itself automati-
cally:
- when you engage reverse gear,
- when you switch off the ignition,
- if measuring is not requested,
- within fi ve minutes of selection of
the function,
- if the vehicle speed exceeds the
threshold of 45 mph (approx. 70 km/h)
for one minute.
If the lateral distance between your ve-
hicle and the parking space is too large,
the system may not be able to measure
the space.
If there is a fault, have the sys-
tem checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
The system remains available after
each measurement and can therefore
measure several spaces in succession.
In poor or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are free of dirt, ice or
snow.
The parking space sensor system de-
activates the front parking sensors
when measuring forwards.

CHANGING A FUSE
Access to the tools
The extraction tweezer is attached to
the back of the dashboard fusebox
cover.
For access to it:
)
unclip the cover by pulling at the
top right, then left,
Changing a fuse
Before changing a fuse:
)
the cause of the failure must be
identifi ed and rectifi ed,
)
all electrical consumers must be
switched off,
)
the vehicle must be immobilised
with the ignition off,
)
identify the failed fuse using the
tables and diagrams in the following
pages.
Good
Failed
To replace a fuse, you must:
)
use the special tweezer to extract
the fuse from its housing and check
the condition of its fi lament.
)
always replace the failed fuse with
a fuse of the same rating (same co-
lour); the use of a fuse of different
rating fuse may cause malfunctions
(risk of fi re).
If the fault recurrs soon after replac-
ing the fuse, have the electrical system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
Installing electrical
accessories
Your vehicle's electrical system is
designed to operate with standard
or optional equipment.
Before installing other electrical
equipment or accessories on
your vehicle, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
CITROËN will not accept respon-
sibility for the cost incurred in
repairing your vehicle or for recti-
fying malfunctions resulting from
the installation of accessories not
supplied and not recommended
by CITROËN and not installed in
accordance with its instructions,
in particular when the combined
consumption of all of the addi-
tional equipment connected ex-
ceeds 10 milliamperes.
The replacement of a fuse not
mentioned in the tables below
may cause a serious malfunc-
tion of your vehicle. Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Tweezer
)
disengage the cover completely and
turn it over,
)
remove the carrier, on the back of
which the tweezer is fi tted.

Do not disconnect the terminals
while the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries without
disconnecting the terminals fi rst.
Do not push the vehicle to start the
engine if it is fi tted with the 6-speed
electronic gearbox system.
Before disconnecting the battery
Wait 2 minutes after switching off
the ignition before disconnecting
the battery.
Close the windows and the
doors before disconnecting the
battery.
Following reconnection of the
battery
Following reconnection of the
battery, switch on the ignition
and wait 1 minute before start-
ing to permit initialisation of the
electronic systems. However, if
problems are encountered fol-
lowing this operation, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Referring to the corresponding
section, you must yourself reini-
tialise:
- the remote control key,
- the panoramic sunroof blind,
- the GPS satellite navigation
system.
LOAD REDUCTION MODE
System which manages the use of cer-
tain functions according to the level of
charge remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the
load reduction function temporarily deac-
tivates certain functions, such as the air
conditioning, the heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivat-
ed automatically as soon as conditions
permit.
ENERGY ECONOMY MODE
System which manages the period of
use of certain functions to conserve a
suffi cient level of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio
equipment, windscreen wipers, dipped
beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc.
for a maximum combined period of thirty
minutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once this period has elapsed, a message
appears in the screen indicating that the ve-
hicle has switched to economy mode and
the active functions are put on standby.
If the telephone is being used at
the same time on the navigation
system, it will be interrupted af-
ter 10 minutes.
A fl at battery prevents the engine
from starting (refer to the corre-
sponding paragraph).
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated auto-
matically the next time the vehicle is
driven.
)
In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, start the engine
and let it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be
double the period for which the engine
is left running. However, this period will
always be between fi ve and thirty minutes.
This period may be greatly re-
duced if the battery is not fully
charged.
