40 km/h) and you must engage:
- fourth gear on a manual gearbox,
- second gear, in manual mode,
on an electronic or automatic
gearbox,

You can adjust the memorised speed
in the instrument panel screen by
pressing:

position.
Once the desired speed has been
reached using the accelerator, press
button 2

then memorised. It is displayed in
zone A
of the instrument panel. These actions cause
the information "OFF"

ment panel screen.
These actions do not
cancel the cruise speed
which remains displayed in the instrument panel.
The cruise control cannot, in any circum-
stances, take the place of the obser-
vance of speed limits or of the vigilance
and responsibility of the driver.

CHECKS
CHECKING LEVELS
Oil level
Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade
for your engine and conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Brake fluid level
Changing the fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for
details of the interval for this opera-
tion.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer’s recommendations
and meet the DOT4 standard.
The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched
on using the oil level indicator
on the instrument panel, or
using the dipstick.
This manual check will only be cor-
rect if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for more
than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil lev-
el between two services (or oil
changes). CITROËN recommends
that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles
(5 000 kms). The brake fl uid level should
be close to the "MAX" mark.
If it is not, check the brake
pad wear.
In order to maintain the re-
liability of the engine and
emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine
oil is prohibited.
Take care when working
under the bonnet, as cer-
tain areas of the engine
may be extremely hot (risk
of burns).
Power steering fluid level
The power steering fl uid
level should be close to the
"MAX" mark. With the engine
cold, unscrew the cap to
check the level.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have
the corresponding system checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Check all of these levels regularly
and top them up if necessary, unless
otherwise indicated.
Engine oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet for de-
tails of the interval for this operation. After topping up the oil, the check
when switching on the ignition with
the oil level indicator in the instru-
ment panel is not valid during the
30 minutes after topping up.
