DRIVING
173
The cruise control system can-
not, in any circumstances, re-
place the need to respect speed
limits, nor can it replace the need
for vigilance and responsibility
on the part of the driver.
You are advised to keep your
feet near the pedals at all times.






CRUISE CONTROL

System which automatically maintains
the speed of the vehicle at the value
programmed by the driver, without any
action on the accelerator pedal.
The functions of this system are grouped
together on the steering mounted con-
trols.

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 an automatic gear-
box.
The cruise control is switched off
man-
ually or by pressing the brake or clutch
pedal or on triggering of the ESP sys-
tem 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.

CHECKS
187






Manual gearbox

The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the servicing book-
let for the details of the level
checking interval for this com-
ponent.







6-speed electronic gearbox
system
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the checking in-
terval for this component.







Automatic gearbox

The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the level checking
interval for this component.






















Electric parking brake


This system does not require any
routine servicing. However, in
the event of a problem, have the
system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

For more information, see "Driving - Electric parking brake - § Operating faults".
















Brake pads

Brake disc wear

If a loss of effectiveness of this
system is noticed, the parking
brake must be checked, even
between two services.
Checking this system must be
done by a CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.

















Only use products recommended
by CITROËN or products of equiv-
alent quality and specifi cation.

In order to optimise the opera-
tion of units as important as
the braking system, CITROËN
selects and offers very specifi c
products.
To avoid damaging the electrical
units, the use of a high pressure
washer in the engine compart-
ment is strictly prohibited
.



Manual parking brake

For information on checking
brake disc wear, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop. Brake wear depends on the
style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in
town, over short distances. It
may be necessary to have the
condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.

Unless there is a leak in the system, a drop
in the brake fl uid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.

Removing a wheel


Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it
does not block traffi c: the ground
must be level, stable and non-
slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake unless it
has been programmed to auto-
matic mode, switch off the ignition
and engage fi rst gear * to lock the
wheels.
Check that the braking warning
lamps in the instrument panel
are on (not fl ashing).
The occupants must get out of
the vehicle and wait where they
are safe.
If necessary, place a chock under
the wheel diagonally opposite the
wheel to be changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle
raised using a jack; use an axle
stand.

*
position R
for the electronic gearbox
system; P
for an automatic gearbox.
List of operations


)
Remove the chromed bolt cover
from each of the bolts using the
tool 3
(according to equipment).

)
Fit the security socket 4
on the
wheelbrace 1
to slacken the secu-
rity bolt.

)
Slacken the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1
only.

)
Place the jack 2
in contact with one
of the two front A
or rear B
locations
provided on the underbody, which-
ever is closest to the wheel to be
changed.

)
Extend the jack 2
until its base plate
is in contact with the ground. Ensure
that the centreline of the jack base
plate is directly below the location A

or B
used.

)
Raise the vehicle until there is suffi -
cient space between the wheel and
the ground to admit the spare (not
punctured) wheel easily.

)
Remove the bolts and store them in
a clean place.

)
Remove the wheel.

Charging the battery using a
battery charger

)
Operate the starter, let the engine
run.

)
Wait until the engine returns to idle
and disconnect the cables.
It is advisable to disconnect the
battery if the vehicle is to be left
unused for more than one month. The batteries contain harmful
substances such as sulphuric
acid and lead. They must be
disposed of in accordance with
regulations and must not, in any
circumstances, be discarded
with household waste.
Take used remote control bat-
teries and vehicle batteries to a
special collection point.

)
Connect the red cable to the posi-
tive terminal (+) of the fl at battery A
,
then to the positive terminal (+) of
the slave battery B
.

)
Connect one end of the green or
black cable to the negative terminal
(-) of the slave battery B
.

)
Connect the other end of the green
or black cable to the earth point C

on the broken down vehicle.

Starting using another battery


The Stop & Start battery does
not have to be disconnected for
charging.


)
Disconnect the battery from the ve-
hicle.

)
Follow the instructions for use pro-
vided by the manufacturer of the
charger.

)
Reconnect starting with the negative
terminal (-).

)
Check that the terminals and connec-
tors are clean. If they are covered with
sulphate (whitish or greenish deposit),
remove them and clean them.
Do not disconnect the terminals
while the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries with-
out 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.

TOWING THE VEHICLE

Procedure for having your vehicle
towed or for towing another vehicle us-
ing a removable towing eye.
The towing eye is installed in the boot
under the fl oor.
To gain access to it:


)
open the boot,

)
raise the fl oor,

)
secure it by hooking its cord on the
hook on the rear parcel shelf sup-
port,

)
remove the towing eye from the
holder.



Access to the tools
General recommendations

Observe the legislation in force in your country.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is higher than that of the towed
vehicle.
The driver must stay at the wheel of the towed vehicle.
Driving on motorways and fast roads is prohibited when towing.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always use an
approved towing bar; rope and straps are prohibited.
When towing a vehicle with the engine off, there is no longer any power as-
sistance for braking or steering.
In the following cases, you must always call on a professional recovery
service:


- vehicle broken down on a motorway or fast road,

- when it is not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the steering,
or release the parking brake,

- towing with only two wheels on the ground,

- where there is no approved towing bar available...

The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned
must be reduced by 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the performance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient
temperature is above 37 °C, limit the towed load. *

The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, if the GVW of the towing vehicle is reduced by an
equal amount. Warning: towing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
