CRUISE CONTROL
System which automatically main-
tains the vehicle speed programmed
by the driver, without any action on
the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: the vehicle speed must be
at least 25 mph (approx. 40 km/h)
and you must engage:
- fourth gear on a manual gear-box,
- second gear, in sequential mode, on an electronic gearbox or au-
tomatic gearbox,
- position A on an electronic gear-
box or D on an automatic gear-
box.
The cruise control cannot, in any cir-
cumstances, take the place of the
observance of speed limits or of the
vigilance and responsibility of the
driver. Steering wheel controls
The cruise control switches are lo-
cated on the left-hand side of the
steering wheel.
Displays on the instrument panel
The programmed information is
grouped together in zone
A of the
instrument panel display. Programming
Rotate the control
1 to the "REG"
position.
Activation
On selection of the function via con-
trol 1, no cruise speed has yet
been memorised.
Once the desired speed has been
reached using the accelerator, press
button 2 or button 4 . The cruise
speed is then memorised. It is dis-
played in zone A of the instrument
panel.
You can then release the accelera-
tor pedal. The vehicle will automati-
cally keep to the speed chosen.
The speed of your vehicle may vary
slightly in relation to that memo-
rised.
You can adjust the memorised speed
on the instrument panel display by
pressing on:

 button 4 to increase the speed,

 button 2 to decrease the speed.
Successive presses modify the
cruise speed in steps of 1 mph and a
sustained press in steps of 3 mph.

Deactivation

 Either by pressing on the brake
pedal or on the clutch pedal.

 Or by pressing button 3 .

 Or if either the ESP or the ASR
system is active.
The cruise control is not active if the
gear lever is in neutral.
These actions cause the information

"OFF" to appear on the instrument
panel display.
These actions do not cancel the
cruise speed which remains dis-
played in the instrument panel.
Reactivation

 By recall of the memorised
speed
After a disengagement, press on button 3 . Your vehicle automati-
cally returns to the memorised
cruise speed which is displayed
in zone A .
If the memorised cruise speed is higher than the current speed,
the vehicle will accelerate to
reach the former.

 By selection of the current
speed
Press on button 2 or 4 once the
desired speed has been reached.
The information "OFF" will then
disappear from the instrument
panel display. Overriding the programmed
speed
During the operation of cruise con-
trol, it is always possible to use the
accelerator to go faster than the
cruise speed (for example to over-
take another vehicle). The speed
displayed in zone
A fl ashes.
You have only to release the accel-
erator pedal to return to the cruise
speed.
Return to normal driving

 By an action on the control 1 from
position "REG" to position 0 .

 By the engine stopping.
The cruise speed previously chosen
is no longer memorised. Operating fault

If there is a malfunction, a mes-
sage will display accompanied by
an audible signal and lighting of the
service warning lamp.
Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer.
If during the operation of cruise
control, the system is unable to
keep within the memorised speed
(for example on a steep descent),
then the speed fl ashes. Adapt your
speed as necessary. Cruise control should only be used
when the driving conditions allow
you to drive at a constant speed.
Do not use it in heavy traffi c, or on
dangerous or slippery roads.
The driver must remain attentive
and in full control of his vehicle.
You are recommended to keep
your feet within range of the ped-
als.
To avoid any risk of interfering with
the pedals:
- check that the fl oor mat is cor-
rectly positioned,
- never use more than one fl oor mat.
