Speed limiter
System which prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by the
driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached,
pressing the accelerator pedal in the normal
manner no longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched on manually:
it requires a programmed speed of at least
20
mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off by manual
operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
slow down to a speed below the programmed
speed.
The programmed speed remains in the system
memory when the ignition is switched off.
The limiter can under no circumstances
replace respect for speed limits, or the
vigilance of the driver.Steering mounted controls

Exceeding programmed
speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal in order to
exceed the programmed speed will have
no effect unless you press the pedal firmly
beyond the point of resistance .
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the programmed speed, which is still
displayed, flashes, accompanied by an audible
signal.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means
of intentional or unintentional deceleration of
the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing
of the programmed speed and the audible
signal stops.
Exiting the limiter mode Malfunction
In the event of a speed limiter fault, the speed
is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes.
Have them checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
On a steep descent or in the event of
sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
-

e

-

d

o not fit one mat on top of another.

Cruise control
System which automatically maintains the
speed of the vehicle at the value programmed
by the driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal.
Cruise control is switched on manually: it
requires a minimum speed of at least 25 mph
(40 km/h) and the engagement of:
-

F
ourth gear on a manual gearbox.
-
Sec

ond gear on an automatic or electronic
gearbox, in sequential mode,
-
Position A on an electronic gearbox or
position D on an automatic gearbox.
Cruise control is switched off manually or
by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on
triggering of the trajectory control systems for
safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by depressing the accelerator
pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed setting.
Cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to
respect speed limits, nor can it replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.Steering mounted controls

Exceeding the programmed
speed
Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the
programmed speed results in flashing of this
speed on the display.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means
of intentional or unintentional deceleration of
the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing
of the programmed speed.
Leaving cruise control modeMalfunction
When cruise control is active, be careful
when holding one of the speed setting
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.
When descending a steep hill, the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
-
E

Rear parking sensors
This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.)
entering the field of detection of sensors
located in the bumper.
Due to blind areas, obstacles of certain types
(posts, worksite markers, etc.) which were
detected initially won't be any longer by the end
of the operation.This system cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
The system is switched on by engaging the
reverse gear. This is accompanied by an
audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear.
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars in the screen which move
progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed on the screen.

Deactivation / Activation
The function is deactivated or activated via the
vehicle configuration menu.
With audio system
In the "Personalisation -
Configuration " menu, activate/
deactivate " Parking sensors ".
With the touch screen
Press MENU.
In the " Driving / Vehicle " menu,
activate/deactivate " Parking
sensors ".
The function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed or
a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with
a tow bar or bicycle carrier recommended
by
CITROËN).
Malfunction
or In the event of a system fault
when engaging the reverse gear,
this warning light is displayed in
the instrument cluster and/or a
message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal
(short beep).
Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or
snow. When reverse gear is engaged, an
audible signal (long beep) indicates that
the sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger
the audible signals of the parking sensor
system.

127
Reversing camera
The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
The image is displayed on the touch screen.
The reversing camera function may be
supplemented with parking sensors.The superimposed representation of guide
lines helps with the manoeuvre.
They are represented by lines marked "on
the ground" and do not allow the position of
the vehicle to be determined relative to tall
obstacles (for example: other vehicles, ...).
Some deformation of the image is normal.
The blue lines represent the general direction
of the vehicle (the gap represents the width of
your vehicle except for the door mirrors).
The red line represent a distance of about
30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
b u m p e r.
The green lines represent distances of about 1
and 2 metres beyond the edge of your vehicle's
rear bumper.
The turquoise blue curves represent the
maximum turning circle. The reversing camera cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of of the driver.
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, do not direct
the lance within 30 cm of the camera lens.
Opening the tailgate causes the display to
disappear.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.
