Starting and stopping


HILL START ASSIST

This function, linked with the ESP, makes hill
starts easier and is activated in the following
conditions:


- the vehicle must be stationary, engine
running, foot on the brake,

- the gradient of the road must be steeper
than 5%,

- uphill, the gearbox must be in neutral or
in a gear other than reverse,

- downhill, reverse gear must be engaged.
The HHC (Hill Holder Control) or Hill Start
Assist function is a driving comfort system. It
is not an automatic vehicle parking function
or an automatic parking brake. Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal
pressed, from the time you release the brake
pedal you have approximately 2 seconds
before the vehicle starts to roll back and
without using the parking brake within which
to move off.
During the moving off phase, the function
is deactivated automatically, gradually
releasing the braking pressure. During
this phase, the characteristic noise of
mechanical release of the brakes may be
heard, indicating the imminent movement of
the vehicle.

Operating fault

If a malfunction of the system
occurs, this warning lamp comes on
accompanied by an audible signal
and confi rmed by a message in the
screen. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop to have the system checked.

Hill start assist is deactivated in the following
situations:


- when the clutch pedal is released,

- when the parking brake is applied,

- when the engine is switched off,

- when the engine stalls.

Steering mounted controls
Selecting the function - ON

When the selection is set
to ON
, this switches the
function on.
If your vehicle is fi tted with
this screen, a message confi rms the action.
Programming a speed

Accelerate to the required speed, with 4th or
5th gear engaged.
Move the control upwards (+), for
approximately one second, to store this
speed.
Release the pressure on the accelerator
pedal, the vehicle will maintain this speed.
Switching off / deactivating the function

Press the brake or clutch pedal or place
the dial in the OFF
position, the indicator is
switched off.
If the ESP or ASR comes into operation,
the cruise control function is deactivated
temporarily.


- increase the speed in steps, by means
of brief presses, or continuously by
pressing and holding the control
upwards (+ sign),
Temporarily exceeding theprogrammed speed

When the cruise control is active, it is still
possible to exceed the programmed speed
by pressing the accelerator pedal
(to overtake another vehicle for example).

- decrease the speed continuously
by pressing and holding the control
downwards (- sign).



Restore - RES

To restore the vehicle's
programmed speed (for example
after pressing the brake or clutch
pedal), gradually return to the chosen speed
and press RES
.
The indicator comes on, the cruise control
function is restored.


Changing the programmed speed
while the cruise control is in operation
You can:

48
Steering mounted controls
Good practice
When changing the programmed reference
speed by pressing and holding the control,
take care as the speed may increase or
decrease rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads or in heavy traffic.
On a steep gradient, the cruise control will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
The cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to comply
with speed limits nor can it replace the need
for vigilance and responsibility on the part
of driver.
It is advisable to leave your feet near the
pedals.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedals:


- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,

- never fit one mat on top of another.



Cancelling the programmed speed

When the vehicle stops, after the ignition is
switched off, the system no longer stores
any speed.


Operating fault

In the event of a malfunction, the function is
switched off and the indicator switches off.
Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the
system checked.

Setting the time of the internal clock

Set the clock on the control panel before
programming the deferred switching on of
the heating.
Immediate switching on of the heating
Before switching on the heating, check that:


- the temperature setting control is in the
"Hot air" position (red).

- the air fl ow setting control is in position 2.
This symbol or the previous stored time
and the number (e.g. 1) corresponding to
the recalled pre-selection are displayed for
ten seconds.

Note:
if you wish to recall the other pre-
selected times, press the SET button several
times before the ten seconds have elapsed. Press this button.
The screen and the associated
indicator lamp come on.
Within ten seconds, press these two setting
buttons until the correct time is displayed.
Press ">" to increase the hours or
"<" to decrease.
Press and hold the button for
more rapid scrolling of the digits.


Reading the time

Press this button.
This indicator lamp comes
on, the time is displayed for
approximately ten seconds. Press this button.
The screen and the heating
cycle indicator lamp come on
and remain on throughout the
duration of operation.
Switching on the deferred heating

Switching on can be programmed between one
minute and twenty-four hours in advance.
You can store up to three different start times,
but programme one deferred start only.

Ventilation
Cancelling the programming
Press this button briefly to clear
the programmed start time.
The screen illumination and the
pre-selection number (e.g. 1) are
switched off.


Good practice

To avoid any risk of poisoning or
asphyxiation, the additional heating must
not be used, even for short periods, in
an enclosed space such as a garage or
workshop which is not fitted with an exhaust
gas extraction system.
The additional heating is supplied by the
vehicle's fuel tank.
Ensure that the fuel gauge indicator lamp is
not at reserve.
Always switch off the additional heating
when filling with fuel to avoid any risk of fire
or explosion.
Do not park the vehicle on an inflammable
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, paper…),
there is a risk of fire.
The temperature near the heater must not
exceed 120 °C. A temperature higher than
this (for example in the case of painting in
an oven) could damage the components of
the electronic circuits.
The additional heating system is fitted with
a temperature limiter which cuts off the
combustion in the event of overheating due
to a lack of coolant.
Top up the coolant, then press the
programme selection control before
switching the heating on again. Have the additional heating system
checked at least once a year at the
beginning of winter. Maintenance and
repairs should only be carried out by a
CITROËN dealer.
Use only genuine replacement parts.
Recalling one of the pre-selected
start times
Press this button as many times
as necessary until the number
corresponding to the required
pre-selected start time (e.g. 2)
appears.
After ten seconds, the time is cleared but
remains stored for as long as the number
(e.g. 2) and the screen remain on.
Switching off the heating

Press this button.
The heating cycle indicator lamp
and the screen are switched off.
Two different types of equipment

The additional heating is separate and
programmable. Before you enter the vehicle,
it gradually increases the temperature of the
engine to make starting easier.
This also facilitates passenger compartment
heating, demisting and defrosting.
The additional passenger compartment
heating system supplements the
standard equipment. Its operation may be
independent of the engine.
Switching on of the heating may be
programmable.

Parking sensors


AUDIBLE REAR PARKING SENSORS

If fitted on your vehicle, the system consists
of four proximity sensors, installed in the
rear bumper.
They detect any obstacle: person, vehicle,
tree, fence, behind the vehicle during the
manoeuvre.
However, objects the size or thickness of
which are detected at the beginning of the
manoeuvre will no longer be detected at the
end of the manoeuvre: blind spots between
and below the sensors. Examples: stake,
roadworks cone or pavement post. Engage reverse gear
The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal of increasing frequency as the
vehicle approaches the obstacle.
When the distance between the rear of
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately thirty centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous.
The system cannot, in any circumstances,
take the place of the vigilance and
responsibility of the driver.
Stop the assistance

Change to neutral.


Malfunction

If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, contact a
CITROËN dealer.
If your vehicle is fitted
with this screen, a
message appears.


Good practice

In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow.
