Press on button 3.
Temporary override of the maximum speed
The accelerator pedal has an end-of-travel switch. In order to exceed the memorised maximum speed at any time, you can press the pedal all the way down. While the speed is being exceeded, the speed dis-played in zone A will fl ash. You have only to release the accelera-tor pedal to return below the maxi-mum speed, to restore the func-tion.
Remark: the speed will also fl ash if the speed limiter is not able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed (e.g. on a steep descent or under excessive acceleration).
To reactivate the speed limiter, release the accelerator to slow to a speed lower than the programmed speed.
To cancel the functionPress on button 5.Select the speed limiter func-tion.
Or stop the engine.
The speed that was chosen is no longer memorised.

ABS system
The ABS system enhances your safety by preventing the wheels from locking in the event of sudden braking or in conditions of poor road adherence. It enables you to retain control of the steering.
The functioning capability of all the electrical components essential to the ABS is monitored electronically before and during your journey. The ABS warning lamp lights up when you sw itch on the ignition: it should go out after a few seconds.
If the monitoring warning lamp does not go out, that means that the ABS has disconnected because there is a fault. Also, the fact that the monitoring warning lamp comes on durin g the journey shows that the ABS system is inactive. In both cases, the normal braking system remains effi cient, exactly a s on a vehicle without ABS. However, in order for the security associated with the correct functioning of the ABS to be restored, the vehicle should be examined as soon as possible by a CITROËN dealer.for the security associated with the correct associated with the
On roads with poor adherence (chippings, snow, ice etc.), it is always imperative to drive with prudence.
System of emergency braking assistance
The emergency braking assistance system allows you, in an emergency, t o achieve the optimum braking pressure more quickly, thereby reducing the stopping distance. It is triggered by the speed of your action on the brake pedal, which reduces its resistance. To prolong this action of the emerg ency braking assistance system, simply keep your foot on the brake pedal.
If the parking brake is released, the lighting of this warning lamp along with the STOP warning lamp indicates an insuffi cient level of brake fl uid or a malfunction of the braking distribution.
It is essential to stop the vehicle.
Consult a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.

To re-engage the electronic parking brake (after resolution of the malfunction or the fl at battery), make a long pull on the control lever A until the parking brake warning lamp (!) fl ashes on the instrument panel then make a second long pull until this warning lamp remains lit permanently. The time for applying the brake subsequent to the emergency unlocking will be longer.

Parking brake
The parking brake is engaged, with the vehicle stationary, by pulling on the lever with a force appropriate to the slope.
To facilitate the action on the lever, you are recommended t o press the brake pedal at the same time.
In all circumstances, as a precautionary measure, engage fi rst gear.
On steep gradients, turn the steering towards the pavement.
To release the parking brake, press on the end of the lever wh ilst pulling it then lower it fully.
The warning lamp comes on if the parking brake is engaged or n ot fully released.
If the parking brake is released, the lighting of this warning lamp along with the STOP warn-ing lamp indicates an insuffi cient level of brake fl uid or a malfunction of the braking distribu-tion.
It is essential to stop the vehicle.

After any collision, contact a CITROËN dealer.
Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) and Traction Control (ASR)
These systems are closely associated with ABS and additional to it. In the event of a loss of control of the vehicle by the driver, the ESP system acts automatically on one or more wheels and also on the engine to bring the vehicle back on trajectory. The ASR system optimises traction and prevents wheel spin by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels as well as on the engine. It also improves steering stability during acceleration.
Operation
If either of the ESP or ASR systems is active, the warning lamp fl ashes.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (vehicle stuck in snow, soft ground, e tc.) it may prove useful to deactivate the ESP/ASR systems to allow the wheels to spin and thus regain traction.
Press on control A, the warning lamp and the light on control A light up. The ESP/ASR systems are no longer active.
The ERSP/ASR systems will activate again:Automatically after the ignition has been switched off.
Automatically when you drive at above approx. 50 km/h (approx. 30 mph).
Manually with another press on button A.
Operational anomaly
If there is a system fault, the warning lamp lights up, accompa nied by a message on the instrument panel screen, the lighting of the SERVICEwarning lamp and a beep.
Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the system checked.
