Deactivation
Press on button 3 .
This action causes the
information "OFF" to
appear on the instru-
ment panel display.
This action does not cancel the
memorised maximum speed which
remains displayed in zone A of the
instrument panel.
Override of the programmed
speed
The accelerator pedal is equipped
with an end-of-travel switch. If you
action this switch by pressing the
pedal hard down, you can exceed
the memorised maximum speed at
any time.
During the time the speed is be-
ing exceeded, the displayed speed
fl ashes.
You have only to release the ac-
celerator pedal to return below the
maximum speed and render the
function active again. Return to normal driving

 By moving the control 1 from po-
sition "LIM" to position 0 .

 By the engine stopping.
The speed previously chosen is still
memorised. Operating fault
If there is a speed limiter malfunc-
tion, a message will display accom-
panied by an audible signal and
lighting of the service warning lamp.
Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer.
If during the operation of the speed
limiter, the system is unable to
keep within the maximum speed
(for example on a steep descent or
under heavy acceleration) then the
speed fl ashes. Adapt your speed as
necessary.
The function will re-engage when
your speed returns below the de-
sired maximum speed.
On a steep downhill gradi-
ent or on sharp accelera-
tion, the speed limiter will
not be able to prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the programmed
speed.
Use of fl oor mats that are not ap-
proved by CITROËN may hinder
access to the accelerator pedal
and thus interfere with the function-
ing of the speed limiter.
To avoid any risk of interfering with
the pedals:
- check that the fl oor mat is cor- rectly positioned,
- never use more than one fl oor mat.
