SPEED LIMITER
System which prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by
the driver.
Once the limit speed has been
reached, the accelerator pedal no
longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched
on manually: a speed of at least
20 mph (around 30 km/h) must be
programmed.
The speed limiter cannot, in any cir-
cumstances, take the place of the
observance of speed limits or of the
vigilance and responsibility of the
driver.
Steering mounted controls
The speed limiter controls are located
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 screen.
Programming
Rotate the control 1 to the "LIM" po-
sition.
On selection of the function, the
previous memorised speed and the
information "OFF" are displayed on
the instrument panel.
With the engine running, you can
adjust the memorised maximum
speed, by means of short or long
presses on:
button 4 to increase the memo-
rised maximum speed,
button 2 to decrease the memo-
rised maximum speed.
Successive presses will modify the
maximum speed in steps of 1 mph
and a sustained press in steps of
3 mph. Activation
When the desired maximum speed
is displayed, press button
3 so that
the limitation is activated.
The information "OFF" then disap-
pears from the instrument panel
screen.
While the function is active, pres-
sing the accelerator pedal will not
enable the programmed speed to be
exceeded, except if you press the
pedal hard down to beyond the end-
of-travel switch.
The speed of your vehicle may vary
slightly in relation to that memo-
rised.
Deactivation
Press on button 3 .
This action causes the information
"OFF" to appear on the instrument
panel screen.
This action does not cancel the
memorised maximum speed which
remains displayed in zone A of the
instrument panel.

Override of the programmed
speed
The accelerator pedal is equipped
with an end-of-travel switch. If you
action this switch by pressing the
pedal hard down, you can exceed
the memorised maximum speed at
any time.
During the time the speed is be-
ing exceeded, the displayed speed
fl a s h e s .
You have only to release the ac-
celerator pedal to return below the
maximum speed and render the
function active again.
If during the operation of the speed
limiter, the system is unable to keep
within the maximum speed (for exam-
ple on a steep descent or under heavy
a c c e l e r a t i o n ) t h e n t h e s p e e d fl a s h e s .
Adapt your speed as necessary.
The function will re-engage when
your speed returns below the de-
sired maximum speed. Return to normal driving
By moving the control 1 from po-
sition "LIM" to position 0 .
By the engine stopping.
The speed previously chosen is still
memorised.
Operating fault
If there is a speed limiter malfunc-
tion, a message will display accom-
panied by an audible signal and
lighting of the service warning lamp.
Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer.
On a steep downhill gradient or on
sharp acceleration, the speed limiter
will not be able to prevent the vehi-
cle from exceeding the programmed
speed.
U s e o f fl o o r m a t s t h a t a r e n o t a p -
proved by CITROËN may hinder
access to the accelerator pedal and
thus interfere with the functioning of
the speed limiter.
To avoid any risk of interfering with
the pedals:
- c h e c k t h a t t h e fl o o r m a t i s c o r - rectly positioned,
- n e v e r u s e m o r e t h a n o n e fl o o r mat.

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 gearbox,
- 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 gearbox.
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 mounted 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 screen. 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 accelerator
pedal. The vehicle will automatically
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 screen 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 screen.
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 a s h e s .
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 message
will display accompanied by an au-
dible signal and lighting of the ser-
vice 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),
t h e n t h e s p e e d fl a s h e s . A d a p t y o u r

when the driving conditions allow
you to drive at a constant speed.
D o n o t u s e i t i n h e a v y t r a f fi c , o r o n
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 pedals.
To avoid any risk of interfering with
the pedals:

CHECKS
Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance
with the Warranty and Maintenance
Record and according to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
Battery The battery does not re-
quire any maintenance.
However, check that the
terminals are clean and
correctly tightened, particu-
larly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the bat-
tery, refer to the "Practical infor-
mation" section for details of the
precautions to be taken before dis-
connecting the battery and following
its reconnection.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the Warranty and
Maintenance Record for
details of the replacement
intervals for these compo-
nents.
Depending on the environment (e.g.
dusty atmosphere) and the use of
the vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace
them twice as often if necessary
(refer to the "Engines" section).

of air quality by the retaining of the
unburnt pollutant particles. Black
exhaust fumes are thus no longer
emitted.
After prolonged idling or driving at very
low speeds, you may occasionally no-
tice water vapour being emitted from
the exhaust when accelerating. This is
of no consequence to the running of
the vehicle or to the environment.
If there is risk of clogging, a message
appears on the multifunction screen,
accompanied by an audible signal
and lighting of the service warning
lamp.
