CRUISE CONTROL "CRUISE"
On vehicles fi tted with an automatic
gearbox, the lever must be in
position D (Drive) or at least 2nd gear
must be engaged in manual mode. Function selected,
displaying of the
"Cruise Control"
symbol.
Function deactivated,
OFF (example at
65 mph (107 km/h)).
Function activated
(example at 65 mph
(107 km/h)).
Vehicle speed above
(e.g. 70 mph
(118 km/h)),
the programmed
speed is displayed
fl ashing.
Operating fault
detected,
OFF - the dashes
fl ash.
This cruise control shows the function
selection status on the instrument
panel and displays the programmed
speed:
"This is the speed at which the driver
wishes to drive".
This aid to driving in free-fl owing
traffi c enables the vehicle to maintain
the speed programmed by the driver,
unless a steep gradient makes this
impossible.
In order for it to be programmed or
activated, the vehicle speed must be
greater than 25 mph (40 km/h) with at
least 4th gear engaged in the case of
vehicles fi tted with a manual gearbox. If the vehicle is fi tted with a speed
limiter and cruise control (according
to the country in which the vehicle is
sold and the engine), these functions
cannot be activated at the same time.

Selecting the function
- Place the switch in the CRUISE
position. The cruise control is
selected but is not yet active and
no speed has been programmed.
First activation/
programming a
speed
- Reach the chosen speed by pressing
the accelerator.
- Press the SET - or

SET +
button.
This programmes/activates the
reference speed and the vehicle will
maintain this speed.
Temporary exceeding of the
speed
It is possible to accelerate and drive
momentarily at a speed greater than
the programmed speed. The value
programmed fl ashes.
When the accelerator pedal is
released, the vehicle will return to the
programmed speed.
Reactivation
- Following deactivation of the cruise control, press this button.
Your vehicle will return to the last
programmed speed.
Alternatively, you can repeat the
"fi rst activation" procedure.
Deactivation (off)
- Press this button or the brake or clutch
pedal.

Switching the function off
- Place the dial in position 0 or switch
off the ignition to switch everything
off.
Good practice
When changing the programmed
reference speed by means of a
maintained press, pay attention as the
speed can increase or decrease rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on
slippery roads or in heavy traffi c.
In the event of a steep slope, the cruise
control cannot prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
In any event, the cruise control cannot
replace the need to observe the speed
limits, nor can it replace the need for
vigilance and responsibility on the part
of the driver.
You are advised to keep your feet near
the pedals.
To avoid any jamming under the
pedals:
- ensure that the mat and its fi xings on the fl oor are positioned correctly,
- never place one mat on top of another.
Changing the
programmed speed
There are two methods
of memorising a
speed higher than the
previous one:
Without using the accelerator:
- press the Set + button.
A brief press increases the speed by
1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press increases the
speed in steps of 5 mph (km/h).
Operating fault
The programmed speed is cleared and
the dashes fl ash for a few seconds.
Consult a CITROËN dealer to have the
system checked.
Using the accelerator:
- exceed the memorised speed until
the speed required is reached,
- press the Set + or Set - button.
To memorise a speed lower than the
previous one:
- press the Set - button.
A brief press decreases the speed by
1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press decreases the
speed in steps of 5 mph (km/h).
Cancelling the programmed
reference speed
When the vehicle becomes stationary,
after switching off the ignition, the
system no longer memorises a speed.
