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
operation 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 part 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 a SensoDrive or automatic
gearbox, in sequential mode,
- position A
on a SensoDrive gearbox or
position D
on an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off
manually
or 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. The controls of this system are grouped

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 (according to version) in 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 thirty centimetres, the
audible signal becomes continuous and the "Danger"
symbol appears in the multifunction screen.
On completion of the manoeuvre, when you exit
reverse gear, the system becomes inactive.

Programming
Operating faults
If there is an operating fault, when
reverse gear is engaged this
warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal (shor t beep)
and a message in 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.

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
30 minutes.
The check is carried out either when the ignition
is switched on using the oil level indicator in the
instrument panel, or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the engine
oil between ser vices. CITROËN
recommends that you check the oil
level and top up if necessary, every
3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres).
