ESP Citroen DS3 2010 1.G Owner's Guide

System which prevents the vehicle from exceeding the speed programmed by the driver. When the programmed speed limit is reached, pressing the accelerator pedal in the normal manner no longer has any effect. The speed limiter is switched on manually: it requires a programmed speed of at least 20 mph (30 km/h). The speed limiter is switched off by manual d offoperation of the control. The programmed speed can be exceeded temporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly. To return to the programmed speed, simply slow down to a speed below the programmed speed. The programmed speed remains in the memory when the ignition is switched off.
Speed limiter
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 par t of the driver.

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 cruise control is switched on manually: it requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h), as well as the engagement of: - four th gear on a manual gearbox, - second gear on an automatic gearbox, in sequential mode, - position D on an automatic gearbox. The cruise control is switched off manually d offor 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 accelerator pedal. To return to the programmed speed, simply release the accelerator pedal. Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value.

Rear parking sensors
System consisting of four proximity sensors, located in the rear bumper. This detects any obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) behind the vehicle, except obstacles located just below the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks cone or any other similar object may be detected at the beginning of the manoeuvre, but may no longer be detected when the vehicle comes close to it.
The parking sensor system cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
The system is activated as soon as reverse gear is engaged, accompanied by an audible signal. The proximity information is given by: - an audible signal, which becomes more
rapid as the vehicle approaches the obstacle. - a graphic on the multifunction screen, with
blocks which become increasingly closer to the vehicle.
Activation
When the distance between the rear of the vehicle and the obstacle is less than thir ty centimetres, the audible signal becomes continuous and the "Danger" symbol appears on the multifunction screen. On completion of the manoeuvre, when you exit reverse gear, the system becomes inactive.

165Driving
Programming Operating faults
If there is an operating fault, when reverse gear is engaged this warning lamp comes on on the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible signal (shor t beep) and a message on the multifunction screen.
You can activate or deactivate the system by means of the multifunction screen configuration menu. The system state is memorised when switching off the ignition. For more information on access to the parking sensors menu, refer to "Configuration/ Vehicle parameters" in the "Multifunction screens" section corresponding to your screen.
The system will be deactivated automatically when towing a trailer or when a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by CITROËN).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the sensors are not covered with mud, frost or snow.

173Checks
Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly and top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated. If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Oil level
Engine oil change
Refer to the Maintenance and Warranty Guide for details of the inter val 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.
Oil grade
The oil must be suitable for your engine and conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Brake fluid level
Changing the fl uid
Refer to the Maintenance and Warranty Guide for details of the inter val for this operation.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fluid must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations and meet the DOT4 standard.
The brake fluid level should be close to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check the brake pad wear.
The reading will only be correct if the vehicle is on level ground and the engine has been off for more than 15 minutes. 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.

1. Brake lamps/sidelamps (P21/5W).2. Sidelamps (P5W).3. Direction indicators (PY21W amber)
4. Foglamp, right hand side (PR21W red) Reversing lamp, left hand side (P21W).
Rear lamps
