Speed limit recognition
This system allows the speed limit detected by
the camera to be displayed in the instrument
panel.
Specific speed limits, such as those for heavy
goods vehicles, are not displayed.
The display of the speed limit in the instrument
panel is updated as you pass a speed limit sign
intended for cars (light vehicles).The units for the speed limits (mph or
km/h) depend on the country you are
driving in.
It should be taken into account so that
you observe the speed limit.
For the system to operate correctly
when you change country, the units for
speed in the instrument panel must be
those for the country you are driving in. The automatic reading of road signs is a
driving assistance system and does not
always display speed limits correctly.
The speed limit signs present on the
road always take priority over the
display by the system.
The system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must observe the driving
regulations and must adapt the speed
of the vehicle to suit the weather and
traffic.
It is possible for the system to not
display the speed limit if it does not
detect a speed limit sign within a preset
period.
The system is designed to detect signs
that conform to the Vienna Convention
on road signs.
To maintain correct operation of the
system: regularly clean the area in front
of the camera.Principles
Using a camera at the top of the windscreen,
this system detects and reads speed limit and
end of speed limit signs.
The system also takes account of information
on speed limits from the navigation system
mapping.

Memorising the speed setting
This memorisation is in addition to the display
of Speed limit recognition .
The driver can choose to adapt the speed
setting to the speed limit suggested, by
pressing the memorisation button at the speed
limiter controls, with the standard cruise
control, the dynamic cruise control or the
dynamic cruise control with Stop function.
This speed setting then replaces the previous
speed setting for the speed limiter and/or cruise
control. For more information on the Speed

Speed limiter - "LIMIT"
System which prevents the vehicle from exceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need to observe speed limits, nor can it
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Once the programmed speed limit is reached,
additional pressure on the accelerator pedal
has no effect.

On sharp acceleration, as when
descending a steep hill, the speed
limiter will not be able to prevent
the vehicle from exceeding the
programmed speed.
The limiter is temporarily deactivated
and the displayed programmed speed
flashes.
An audible signal accompanies the
flashing of the programmed speed
when exceeding the speed is not due to
an action by the driver.
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:
-
e
nsure that the mat is secured

Flashing of the dashes indicates a fault with the
cruise control.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Operating faultWhen the cruise control is switched on,
be careful if you maintain the pressure
on one of the programmed speed
changing buttons: this may result in a
very rapid change in the speed of your
vehicle.
Do not use the cruise control on
slippery roads or in heavy traffic.
On a steep descent, the cruise control
will not be able to prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the programmed speed.
On steep climbs or when towing, the
programmed speed may not be reached
or maintained.
The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with the
operation of the cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:
