DRIVING
SPEED LIMITER
System which prevents the vehi-
cle from exceeding the speed pro-
grammed by the driver.
Once the limit speed has been
reached, the accelerator pedal no
longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched on
manually: a speed of at least 20 mph
(approximately 30 km/h) must be
programmed.
The speed limiter controls are located
on the left-hand side of the steering
wheel. The programmed information is
grouped together in zone A
of the
instrument panel screen.
Steering mounted controls
Displays in the instrument
panel
Programming
Rotate the control 1
to the "LIM"
po-
sition.
With the engine running, you can
adjust the memorised maximum
speed , by means of short or long
presses on:
)
button 4
to increase the memo-
rised maximum speed,
)
button 2
to decrease the memo-
rised maximum speed.
Successive presses will modify the
maximum speed in steps of 1 mph
(1 km/h) and a sustained press in
steps of 3 mph (5 km/h).
Activation
When the desired maximum speed
is displayed, press button 3
so that
the limitation is activated.
On selection of the
function, the previous
memorised speed and
the information "OFF"
are displayed in the in-
strument panel. The information "OFF"
then disappears from
the instrument panel
screen.
While the function is active, pressing
the accelerator pedal will not enable
the programmed speed to be ex-
ceeded, except if you press the pedal
hard down to beyond the end-of-travel
switch.
The speed of your vehicle may vary
slightly in relation to that memorised.
The speed limiter cannot, in any circum-
stances, take the place of the obser-
vance of speed limits or of the vigilance
and responsibility of the driver.

DRIVING
Deactivation
Press on button 3
.
This action causes the
information "OFF"
to
appear on the instru-
ment panel screen.
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 or a qualifi ed workshop. If during the operation of the speed
limiter, the system is unable to keep
within the maximum speed (for ex-
ample on a steep descent or under
heavy acceleration) then the speed
fl ashes. Adapt your speed as neces-
sary.
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.

DRIVING
CRUISE CONTROL
System which automatically main-
tains the vehicle speed programmed
by the driver, without any action on
the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: the vehicle speed must
be at least 25 mph (approximately
40 km/h) and you must engage:
- fourth gear on a manual gearbox,
- second gear, in manual mode,
on an electronic or automatic
gearbox,
- position A
on an electronic gear-
box or D
on an automatic gearbox.
Steering mounted controls
The cruise control switches are lo-
cated on the left-hand side of the
steering wheel. The programmed information is
grouped together in zone A
of the
instrument panel screen.
Displays in the instrument
panel
Activation
You can then release the accelerator
pedal. The vehicle will automatically
keep to the speed chosen.
The speed of your vehicle may vary
slightly in relation to that memo-
rised.
You can adjust the memorised speed
in the instrument panel screen by
pressing:
)
button 4
to increase the speed,
)
button 2
to decrease the speed.
Successive presses modify the
cruise speed in steps of 1 mph
(1 km/h) and a sustained press in
steps of 3 mph (5 km/h).
Deactivation
)
Either by pressing the brake or
the clutch pedal.
)
Or by pressing button 3
.
)
Or if either the ESP or the ASR
system is active.
The cruise control is not active if the
gear lever is in neutral. On selection of the
function via control 1,
no cruise speed has
yet been memorised.
Programming
Rotate the control 1
to the "REG"
position.
Once the desired speed has been
reached using the accelerator, press
button 2
or 4
. The cruise speed is
then memorised. It is displayed in
zone A
of the instrument panel. These actions cause
the information "OFF"
to appear in the instru-
ment panel screen.
These actions do not
cancel the cruise speed
which remains displayed in the instrument panel.
The cruise control cannot, in any circum-
stances, take the place of the obser-
vance of speed limits or of the vigilance
and responsibility of the driver.
