Programming
F Turn thumb wheel 1 to the "LIMIT"
position: the speed limiter mode
is selected but is not switched on
(PAUS E).
You do not have to switch the speed limiter
on in order to set the speed.
Exceeding the programmed speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed speed will not have
any effect unless you press the pedal firmly past the point of resistance.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the programmed speed,
which is still displayed, flashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or unintentional
deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing of the
programmed speed.
Leaving limiter mode
F Turn thumb wheel 1 to the "0" position: the speed limiter mode is
deselected. The display returns to the distance recorder.
Operating fault
In the event of a speed limiter fault, the speed
is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Composition of the kit
1. 12 V compressor, with integral pressure gauge.
2.
S

ealant cartridge, with integral hose.
3.
Spe

ed limit sticker.
Access to the kit
This kit is installed in the storage box, under the
boot floor.
The speed limit sticker must be secured
to the interior of the vehicle in the
driver's field of vision, to remind you
that a wheel is in temporary use.
Comprising a compressor and a sealant
cartridge, it allows the temporary repair
of
a tyre so that you can drive to the nearest
garage.
It is designed to repair most punctures which
could affect the tyre, located on the tyre tread
or shoulder.
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h) when driving with a tyre
repaired using this type of kit.
The vehicle's electric system allows the
connection of a compressor for long
enough to inflate a tyre after a puncture
repair or for inflating a small inflatable
accessory.

the wheels.
If necessary, place a chock against the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to
be changed.
You must ensure that the occupants get
out of the vehicle and wait where they

Snow chains
Original tyre sizeMaximum link size
195 / 60 R15 9 mm
195 / 55 R16 9 mm
205 / 45 R17 7 mm
For more information on snow chains,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when
braking.
The snow chains must be fitted only
to the front wheels. They must never
be fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised.
Advice on installation
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face
on the side of the road.
F

A
pply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks to prevent movement of your
vehicle.
F

F
it the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
F

M
ove off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50


km/h).
F

S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to
avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and
the road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted
with alloy wheels, check that no part of
the chain or its fixings is in contact with
the wheel rim.
All original tyre sizes (15", 16", 17") can be
fitted with chains.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.
