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 ped-
al 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 controls.

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.

CHECKS
183
CHECKING LEVELS
Take care when working under
the bonnet, as certain areas of
the engine may be extremely hot
(risk of burns) and the cooling
fan could start at any time (even
with the ignition off).
The check is carried out either
when the ignition is switched
on using the oil level indicator
in the instrument panel, or us-
ing the dipstick.
It will only be correct 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 level be-
tween two services (or oil changes).
CITROËN recommends that you check
the level, and top up if necessary, every
3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil
level indicator in the instrument panel
is not valid during the 30 minutes after
topping up.
Oil level
Engine oil change
Refer to the maintenance and warranty
guide for details of the interval for this
operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.
Brake fluid level
Changing the fl uid
Refer to the maintenance and warranty
guide for details of the interval for this
operation.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Power steering fluid level
The power steering fl uid level
should be close to the "MAX"
mark. With the engine cold, un-
screw the cap to check the level.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
Check all of these levels regularly, in
line with the maintenance and warranty
guide. Top them up if necessary, unless
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade for
your engine and conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
The cooling fan may start after
switching off the engine: take
care with articles and clothing
that might become caught by the
fan blades.
The brake fl uid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.

switched off,
the vehicle must be immobilised
with the ignition off,
Identify the failed fuse using the al-
location tables and illustrations on
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 col-
our); use of a different rating may
cause malfunctions (risk of fi re).
If the fuse fails again soon after re-
placement, have the electrical system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
Installing electrical
accessories
Your vehicle's electrical sys-
tem 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 responsi-
bility for the cost incurred in repairing
your vehicle or for rectifying malfunc-
tions 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
additional equipment connected ex-
ceeds 10 milliamperes.
The replacement of a fuse not
mentioned in the following ta-
bles may cause a serious mal-
function of your vehicle. Contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

Charging the battery using a
battery charger
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.
Disconnect the battery from the vehicle.
Follow the instructions for use pro-
vided by the manufacturer of the
charger.
Connect the battery starting with the
negative terminal (-).
Check that the terminals and con-
nectors are clean. If they are covered
with sulphate (whitish or greenish
deposit), remove them and clean
them.
Protect your eyes and face be-
fore handling the battery.
All operations on the battery
must be carried out in a well
ventilated area and away from
naked fl ames and sources of
sparks, so as to avoid the risk of
explosion or fi re.
Do not try to charge a frozen
battery; the battery must fi rst
be thawed out to avoid the risk
of explosion. If the battery has
been frozen, before charging
have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop
who will check that the inter-
nal components have not been
damaged and the casing is not
cracked, which could cause a
leak of toxic and corrosive acid.
Do not reverse the polarity and
use only a 12 V charger.
Do not disconnect the terminals
while the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries with-
out disconnecting the terminals
fi rst.
Wash your hands afterwards.
Reinitialisation after
reconnection
After any reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait at least
one minute before starting, to allow
time for the initialisation of the electron-
ic systems.
By referring to the corresponding sec-
tions, you should set or initialise the fol-
lowing systems yourself:
- one-touch electric windows,
- time and date,
- audio and navigation system set-
tings.
Check that no alert message or warn-
ing lamp comes on after switching on
the ignition.
However, if minor problems persist af-
ter carrying out these operations, con-
tact a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Some functions are not available
if the battery is not suffi ciently
charged.
Do not push the vehicle to start
the engine if you have an elec-
tronic or automatic gearbox.
With Stop & Start, the battery
does not have to be disconnect-
ed for charging.

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 de-
activates 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
vehicle 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 after
10 minutes.
A fl at battery prevents the en-
gine from starting (refer to the
corresponding 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.
CHANGING A WIPER BLADE
