TORCH
This is a removable lamp, incorpo-
rated in the boot wall, which can be
used to light the boot or as a torch.
Grand C4 Picasso
C4 Picasso Boot lighting
The boot lamp
A comes on automat-
ically when the boot is opened and
switches off automatically when the
boot is closed.
Various lighting durations are avail-
able:
-
ignition off, approximately ten minutes,
- in energy economy mode, approxi- mately thirty seconds,
- engine running, no limit.
Operation of the torch
This torch operates with NiMH re-
chargeable batteries.
It has a battery life of approximately
45 minutes and recharges while you
are driving.
Extract the torch from its location
pulling it upwards, as indicated
by the arrow.
Press the switch B , located on
the back, to switch the torch on
or off.
Unfold the support C , located on
the back, to set down and raise
the torch; for example, when
changing a wheel.
Storing the torch
Put the torch back in place in its
location starting with the lower
part.
If you have forgotten to switch off
the torch, this switches it off auto-
matically.

5- SPEED MANUAL GEARBOX
Starting the vehicle
Check that the gear lever is in
neutral.
Do not touch the accelerator.
For Diesel engines: turn the
key to position M and wait until
the pre-heating warning lamp
switches off if it has come on.
Operate the starter, turning the
key until the engine starts (no
more than ten seconds).
In temperatures lower than 0 °C,
declutch whilst turning the starter
to facilitate starting.
6- SPEED ELECTRONIC GEARBOX SYSTEM
The 6-speed electronic gearbox of-
fers a choice between the comfort of
fully automatic operation or the driving
pleasure of manual gear changing.
Therefore, you have a choice of two
driving modes:
- the automatic mode for auto-
matic control of the gears by the
gearbox,
- the sequential mode for manu-
al changing of the gears by the
driver.
automatic mode: selector 2 in
position A .
manual mode: selector 2 in posi-
tion M .
In automatic mode, instant manual
operation is possible any time you
action one of the paddles 1 .
Mode selection
Only engage reverse gear when
the vehicle is stationary with the
engine at idle.
Engaging reverse gear
Push the gear lever to the right
then rearwards.

CRUISE CONTROL
System which automatically main-
tains the vehicle speed programmed
by the driver, without any action on
the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: the vehicle speed must be
at least 25 mph (approx. 40 km/h)
and you must engage:
- fourth gear on a manual gearbox,
- second gear, in sequential mode, on an electronic gearbox or au-
tomatic gearbox,
- position A on an electronic gear-
box or D on an automatic gearbox.
Steering wheel controls
The cruise control switches are lo-
cated on the left-hand side of the
steering wheel. The programmed information is
grouped together in zone
A of the
instrument panel display.
Displays on the instrument panel
Activation You can then release the accelerator
pedal. The vehicle will automatically
keep to the speed chosen.
The speed of your vehicle may vary
slightly in relation to that memo-
rised.
You can adjust the memorised speed
on the instrument panel display by
pressing on:
button 4 to increase the speed,
button 2 to decrease the speed.
Successive presses modify the
cruise speed in steps of 1 mph and a
sustained press in steps of 3 mph.
Deactivation
Either by pressing on the brake
pedal or on the clutch pedal.
Or by pressing button 3 .
Or if either the ESP or the ASR
system is active.
The cruise control is not active if the
gear lever is in neutral.
On selection of the
function via control
1,
no cruise speed has
yet been memorised.
Programming
Rotate the control
1 to the "REG"
position.
Once the desired speed has been
reached using the accelerator, press
button 2 or button 4 . The cruise
speed is then memorised. It is dis-
played in zone A of the instrument
panel. These actions cause
the information
"OFF"
to appear on the instru-
ment panel display.
These actions do
not cancel the cruise
speed which remains
displayed in the instru-
ment panel.
The cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the ob-
servance of speed limits or of the vigi-
lance and responsibility of the driver.

PNEUMATIC SUSPENSION
Grand C4
Picasso
C4 Picasso
The rear pneumatic suspension en-
hances driving comfort by maintain-
ing a constant body height whatever
the vehicle load. Operation
- If there is an increase in vehi-
cle load, a sinking of the rear of
the vehicle is detected and the
p n e u m a t i c s p r i n g s i n fl a t e i n o r -
der to compensate for the extra
weight.
- If there is a decrease in load, a rising of the rear of the vehicle is
detected and so the pneumatic

The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 100 km/h (approx. 60 mph) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the pe rformance of the vehicle in order to protect the engine; when
