O N / O F F

This driving assistance device enables you to drive at a constant speed of

your choice, only in the highest gears and above a minimum speed of 40 to

60 km/h (25 to 40 mph) depending on engine versions.

The cruise control operates only with:
- Gear lever in fourth or fifth gear (manual gearbox).
- Selector on D (automatic gearbox).

The cruise control stalk A is located below the direction indicator/lighting

switch.

To activate: turn the switch 1 to the ON position.
To deactivate: turn the switch 1 to the OFF position.

To select a cruising speed
Depress the accelerator until the desired speed is reached. Press the rear of

either button 2 or button 4 of control A. The speed is regulated and memo-

rised.
While cruise control is in force, it is still possible to depress the accelerator

pedal to go faster than the memorised speed (for example to overtake anoth-

er vehicle).
Take your foot off the pedal to return automatically to the memorised speed.
A short press on the rear of button 4 will increase the speed slightly.
A short press on the rear of button 2 will decrease the speed slightly.

฀B

Disengaging cruise control
The cruise control will be disengaged:
- Either by depressing the clutch pedal or brake pedal,
- Or when either ESP or traction control is operating.
- Or by pressing button 3 located on the end of control A,
These actions do not cancel the memorised speed.

Recalling the memorised speed
After a disengagement, press once on button 3. Your vehicle will return to the

last speed memorised.

To increase the memorised speed
By a long press on the rear of button 4 of control A until you reach the desired speed. Release the button, the new

speed is then memorised.

To decrease the memorised speed
Give a long press on the rear on button 2 of control A until the desired speed is obtained (above 25mph).

Release the button, the new speed is memorised.

To deactivate cruise control
- Either, when stopped, switch off

ignition.

- Or turn the cruise control switch

to the OFF position.

Cruise control must only be used where road conditions permit

driving at a constant speed. Do not use it on congested roads or

when weather and road conditions are poor.
The driver must still remain attentive and in complete control of the

vehicle.
You are recommended to keep your feet within range of the pedals.

Interior rear view mirror
The lever on the lower edge ena-

bles you to place the rear view mir-

ror in either of two positions:
1 - Day position: the lever is not

visible.

2 - Night position (anti-dazzle):

the lever is visible.

Electrically - controlled door

mirrors

Your vehicle is equipped with elec-

tric door mirrors.
Set the position for the selected

door mirror:
- 1 Left hand door mirror
- 2 Right hand door mirror

Move the control in the four direc-

tions to set the position.

The defrosting of the exterior rear

view mirrors is linked to the electri-

cal demisting of the rear window.

Folding back the door mirrors
To fold them, place the control on position 3.
To return them, move the control to one of the other positions.

The glass in the rear view mirrors is

aspherical to enlarge the lateral

field of vision.
Objects viewed are thus in reality

closer than they may appear to be.
This should be taken into account

when assessing distance.

R e m o t e c o n t r o l

Note For safety reasons, a buzzer

will sound if you have switched off

the ignition and opened the driver’s

door without previously removing

the ignition key.

Central locking
The remote control locks and unlocks the doors and tailgate.
Press once on button A to lock or button B to unlock.
If it does not work first time, then try again.

These operations are confirmed by the direction indicators:
- Unlocking: Rapid flashing of direction indicators, interior lamp comes on.
- Locking: Direction indicators come on for approx. two seconds, interior

lamp goes out (if function active).

If one of the doors or the tailgate is open or not correctly closed, the central

locking does not operate.

Locating of the vehicle
To locate the vehicle in a car park, press button A, the interior lamp lights up

and the direction indicators flash for a few seconds (vehicle remaining

locked).

Note: The vehicle location function has a greater range than that of the un-

locking function.

Except when reinitialising, the remote control cannot function while

the key is in the ignition, even when switched off.

Warning: Activating the transmitter (even if in your pocket)

whilst still within range could cause the doors to unlock without

your knowledge.

However, if none of the doors is opened within thirty seconds

of unlocking, the doors will automatically relock.

R e m o t e c o n t r o l

Remote control
The

remote

control

transmitter

emits a high frequency signal

which offers the following advan-

tages:
- does not require aiming at the re-

ceiver in the vehicle.

- can be operated from behind the

vehicle and penetrates any load

on board.

- has a range of several metres.

Note: The simultaneous use of oth-

er high frequency equipment (mo-

bile

telephones,

domestic

alarms...) may momentarily hinder

the operation of the remote control

In the event of a permanent fault,

the remote control should be reini-

tialised.
See: “Changing the remote control

battery”.

Remote control battery used up
Accompanied by an audible signal, this information is provided by a mes-

sage on the multifunction screen.

Changing the remote control battery
Unscrew and detach the cover to access the battery.
Battery: CR 1620 3V.
The remote control must be reinitialised after changing the batteries.
For this, switch on the ignition and press one of the buttons on your remote

control until the required action is achieved. This manoeuvre may take some

ten seconds.

To protect your vehicle against theft

Before leaving your vehicle:
- Completely close all windows and do not leave objects visible inside.
- Remove the ignition key, turn the steering wheel to engage the steering lock

and lock all doors.

The remote control key numbers are given on the special card provided for

this purpose.
Keep it in a safe place.

Do not throw away the old batteries.

They should be returned to the CITROËN dealer

or deposited in a recognised recycling facility

(camera shops etc).

K e y s

Note: The key can be used to de-

activate the front passenger’s air-

bag (see “Airbag”).

Electronic immobiliser key
The key operates all the vehicle’s locks as well as the ignition.

Central locking using the key
The key can be used in the driver’s door to activate the locking and unlocking

of the doors and tailgate.
The central locking will not operate if a door is open, or not properly closed.
Note: Locking causes the interior lamps to go out, and a diode in the hazard

warning lamp button to flash.
If the diode fails to flash after about ten seconds, consult your CITROËN Dealer.
Unlocking the vehicle causes the front interior lamps to come on.

The ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER locks the engine’s supply system.
The system arms automatically when the key is removed from the igntiion.
All the vehicle’s keys contain an electronic immobiliser device.
Only your keys can start your vehicle.
Insert your key into the ignition.
After the ignition is switched on, a dialogue commences between the key and

the electronic immobiliser device.

If the key is not recognised, starting is impossible.

The key number is on the label attached to the key.

Should you lose your key or remote control,

the CITROËN dealer network can supply replacements.

C O D E c a r d

CODE card
A confidential card is given to the

new owner when he takes delivery

of his new vehicle.
This card bears a hidden access

code for the use of the CITROËN

dealer when maintaining the elec-

tronic immobiliser device.

Do not scratch the protective

strip, the security of the immobilis-

er system depends on the informa-

tion below remaining covered.
Should the card be lost, the immo-

biliser device can no longer be con-

sidered secure.

In the event of a change of vehicle ownership, it is essential for the new owner

to possess the CODE card.
Never leave it in the vehicle.

Advice

Keep the coded card bearing your personal electronic immobiliser number in

a safe place (never in the vehicle).
Should you lose your key or remote control, the CITROËN dealer net-

work can supply replacements using these numbers.
If any key modifications become necessary (addition, cancellation or re-

placement of the key), you must take the confidential card together with all

the keys to a CITROËN dealer.

Never attempt to modify the electronic immobiliser's electrical

circuit, as that could render your vehicle undriveable.Should the

confidential card become lost, a Citroën dealer would have to

undertake a major repair.
