Switching off
Turn wheel 1 to the "0" position: the display of information on the speed limiter disappears.
Operating fault
Flashing dashes indicate a fault with the speed limiter.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
The use of mats not approved by CITROËN may inter fere with the operation of the speed limiter. To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals: - ensure that the mat is positioned c o r r e c t l y, - do not fit one mat on top of another.
On a steep descent or in the event of sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will not be able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed.
Temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed
If you want to temporarily exceed the programmed limit speed, press firmly on the accelerator pedal, going beyond the point of resistance . The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the displayed programmed speed flashes.
When the limit speed is exceeded but is not due to action by the driver, there is an audible
signal to complete the alert. Once the speed of the vehicle returns to the programmed setting, the speed limiter functions again: the display of the programmed speed setting becomes steady again.
