Changing the
programmed speed
There are two methods
of memorising a
speed higher than the
previous one:

Switching the function off

Operating fault

The programmed speed is cleared then
replaced by three dashes. Contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop to have the system checked.


Cancelling the programmed
reference speed
When the vehicle becomes stationary,
after switching off the ignition, the
system no longer memorises a speed. 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).
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).

- 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.
It is advisable to leave 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.

Steering mounted controls

However, pressing the pedal beyond
this point of resistance to the fl oor
allows the programmed speed to be
exceeded. To resume use of the limiter,
simply reduce the pressure on the
accelerator pedal gradually and return
to a speed below that programmed.

The operating actions may be
carried out when stationary, with the
engine running, or with the vehicle
moving.
This speed limiter shows the function
selection status in the instrument panel
and displays the programmed speed:
SPEED LIMITER "LIMIT"

Function selected,
displaying of the
"Speed Limiter"
symbol.
Function deactivated,
last programmed
speed - OFF

(example at 65 mph (107 km/h)).
Function activated

(example at 65 mph (107 km/h)).

Vehicle speed above
(example 70 mph
(118 km/h)),
the programmed
speed is displayed
fl ashing.
Operating fault
detected,

OFF
- the dashes
fl ash. "This is the selected speed which the
driver does not wish to exceed".
This selection is made with the engine
running while stationary or with the
vehicle moving. The minimum speed
which can be programmed is 20 mph
(30 km/h).
The speed of the vehicle responds
to the pressure of the driver's foot as
far as the accelerator pedal point of
resistance which indicates that the
programmed speed has been reached.

Selecting the function



- Place the switch in the LIMIT

position. The limiter is selected
but is not yet active. The screen
indicates the last programmed
speed.



Programming a speed

A speed can be programmed without
activating the limiter but with the
engine running.
To memorise a speed higher than the
previous one:


- 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).
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).


Activation/Deactivation (off)

Pressing this button once activates
the limiter, pressing the button again
deactivates it (OFF).

Steering mounted controls



Exceeding the programmed
speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal in order
to exceed the programmed speed
will have no effect unless you press
the pedal fi rmly
beyond the point of
resistance
.
The limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the programmed speed fl ashes.
To return to the limiter function, reduce
your speed to below the programmed
speed.


Switching the function off



- Place the switch in position 0
or
switch off the ignition to switch the
system off.
The last programmed speed remains in
the memory.


Operating fault

The programmed speed is cleared
then replaced by three dashes.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop to have the system
checked.

Good practice



Flashing of the speed

The speed fl ashes:


- following forcing of the accelerator
point of resistance,

- when the limiter cannot prevent an
increase in the vehicle speed due
to the profi le of the road or on a
steep descent,

- in the event of sharp acceleration.
In any event, the speed limiter cannot
replace the need to observe speed
limits, nor can it replace the need for
vigilance and responsibility on the part
of the driver.
Always pay attention to the profi le
of the road and sharp acceleration
and stay in complete control of your
vehicle.
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.

Driving safely


DRIVING SAFELY
HORN

Press the centre of the steering wheel.
PARKING BRAKE

Applying

Pull the parking brake lever up to
immobilise your vehicle.
Check that the parking brake is applied
fi rmly before leaving the vehicle.


Releasing

Pull the lever and press the button to
lower the parking brake lever.

HAZARD WARNING LAMPS

Press this button, the direction
indicators fl ash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
The hazard warning lamps should only
be used in dangerous situations, when
stopping in an emergency or when
driving in unusual conditions.
When parking on a slope, direct your
wheels towards the pavement and pull
the parking brake lever up.
There is no advantage in engaging
a gear after parking the vehicle,
particularly if the vehicle is loaded.

If the parking brake is still on or has
not been released properly, this is
indicated by this warning lamp which
comes on on the instrument panel.

Automatic operation of hazard
warning lamps
When braking in an emergency,
depending on the force of deceleration,
the hazard warning lamps come
on automatically. They switch off
automatically the fi rst time you
accelerate.
It is also possible to switch them off by
pressing the switch on the dashboard.

Airbags

Good practice

Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child,
pet, object...). This could hinder the
operation of the airbags or injure the
occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system is strictly
forbidden unless it is carried out by
qualifi ed personnel at a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Even if all of the precautions
mentioned are observed, a risk of
injury or of minor burns to the head,
chest or arms when an airbag is
deployed cannot be ruled out. In fact,
the bag infl ates almost instantly (within
a few milliseconds) then defl ates within
the same time discharging the hot gas
via openings provided for this purpose.
Lateral airbags
Only put recommended covers on
the seats. These will not hinder
infl ation of the lateral airbags. Contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Do not fi x or attach anything to the seat
backs. This could cause injury to the
chest or arms when the lateral airbag
infl ates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.

Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on
the centre part of the wheel.
Do not allow passengers to place
their feet on the dashboard, they risk
serious injury if the airbag is deployed.
Smoke as little as possible as
deployment of the airbags can cause
burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering
wheel or hit it violently.

Airbags
only operate when the
ignition is switched on.

This equipment only operates once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident),
the airbag will not operate.
The deployment of an airbag or airbags
is accompanied by a slight discharge
of harmless smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but
sensitive individuals may experience
some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.
It is imperative that the
passenger's airbag is deactivated
if a child seat is installed facing
rearwards. Refer to the "Children on
board" section of chapter 4.

Airbags

Front airbags

The front airbags are fi tted in the
centre of the steering wheel for the
driver and in the dashboard for the
front passenger.

Deployment
They are deployed simultaneously,
unless the passenger's front airbag
has been deactivated, in the event of
a serious front impact applied to all or
part of the front impact zone A
in the
longitudinal centreline of the vehicle
on a horizontal plane directed from the
front towards the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag infl ates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
dashboard to cushion their forward
movement.
Deactivation
Only the passenger's front airbag can
be deactivated:


- With the ignition switched off
,
insert the key into the passenger's
airbag deactivation switch,

- turn it to the off "OFF"
position,

- then remove the key, keeping the
switch in the new position.
The airbag warning lamp in the
instrument panel is on while
the airbag is deactivated. If the two airbag warning lamps
are on continuously, do not install
a rear-facing child seat, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

Front airbag fault
To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to deactivate the
passenger's airbag when you
install a rear-facing child seat on the
front passenger seat. Otherwise, the
child would risk being killed or seriously
injured if the airbag were to infl ate.
Reactivation

In the "OFF"
position, the passenger's
airbag will not be deployed in the event of
an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed, turn
the airbag switch to the "ON"
position to re-
activate the airbag and so ensure the safety
of your passenger in the event of an impact.

If this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message
in the screen, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop to have
the system checked.
