DRIVING
Dynamic emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the vehicle’s
main braking system or in an excep-
tional situation (e.g. driver taken ill,
under instruction, etc) a continuous
pull on the control lever A
will stop
the vehicle.
The electronic stability programme
(ESP) provides stability during dy-
namic emergency braking.
If the dynamic emergency braking
malfunctions, one of the following
messages will be displayed in the
multifunction screen:
- "Parking brake faulty".
- "Parking brake control faulty". If a failure of the ESP sys-
tem is signalled by the il-
lumination of this warning
lamp, then braking stability
is not guaranteed. In this event, sta-
bility must be assured by the driver
by repeating alternate "pull-release"
actions on control lever A
.
The dynamic emergency
braking must only be used in
exceptional circumstances.

6-SPEED ELECTRONIC GEARBOX SYSTEM
The 6-speed electronic gearbox of-
fers a choice between the comfort of
fully automatic operation or the driving
pleasure of manual gear changing.
You have a choice of two driving
modes:
- automatic
mode for automatic
control of the gears by the gear-
box,
- manual
mode for sequential
changing of the gears by the
driver.
)
Automated mode: gear lever 2
in
position A
.
)
Manual mode: gear lever 2
in po-
sition M
.
In automated mode, temporary man-
ual operation is possible any time by
using one of the paddles 1

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
Automatic gearbox which offers a
choice between the ease of fully
automatic operation or the driving
pleasure of manual gear changing.
There is a choice of two driving
modes:
- automatic
operation for elec-
tronic control of the gears by the
gearbox,
- manual
operation for sequen-
tial changing of the gears by the
driver.
)
Automatic mode: gear lever 1
in
position D
,
)
Manual mode: gear lever 1
in po-
sition M
. The position of the gear lever is dis-
played in the instrument panel, on
the left on the A and C multifunc-
tion screens and on the right in the
MyWay and NaviDrive multifunction
screens.
A grille associated with the gear lever
also allows you to see the selected
position.
Position P
can only be dis-
engaged if pressing the
brake pedal.
On opening a door, there is
an audible signal if the gear lever is
not in position P
.
In all circumstances, ensure that
the gear lever is in position P
be-
fore leaving your vehicle.
If P
is displayed in the instrument
panel but the position of the gear
lever is different, reposition the
gear lever on P
so that you can
start the vehicle.
Never press the brake and ac-
celerator pedals simultaneously.
Braking and acceleration should
be done only with the right foot.
Pressing both pedals simultane-
ously introduces a risk of damage
to the gearbox.

SPEED LIMITER
System which prevents the vehi-
cle from exceeding the speed pro-
grammed 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
(approximately 30 km/h) must be
programmed.
The speed limiter controls are located
on the left-hand side of the steering
wheel. The programmed information is
grouped together in zone A
of the
instrument panel screen.
Steering mounted controls
Displays in the instrument
panel
Programming
Rotate the control 1
to the "LIM"
po-
sition.
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
(1 km/h) and a sustained press in
steps of 3 mph (5 km/h).
Activation
When the desired maximum speed
is displayed, press button 3
so that
the limitation is activated.
On selection of the
function, the previous
memorised speed and
the information "OFF"
are displayed in the in-
strument panel. The information "OFF"
then disappears from
the instrument panel
screen.
While the function is active, pressing
the accelerator pedal will not enable
the programmed speed to be ex-
ceeded, 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 memorised.
The speed limiter cannot, in any circum-
stances, take the place of the obser-
vance of speed limits or of the vigilance
and responsibility of the driver.

Deactivation
Press on button 3
.
This action causes the
information "OFF"
to
appear on the instru-
ment 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 ashes.
You have only to release the ac-
celerator pedal to return below the
maximum speed and render the
function active again.
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 or a qualifi ed workshop. If during the operation of the speed
limiter, the system is unable to keep
within the maximum speed (for ex-
ample on a steep descent or under
heavy acceleration) then the speed
fl ashes. Adapt your speed as neces-
sary.
The function will re-engage when
your speed returns below the de-
sired maximum speed.
On a steep downhill gradi-
ent or on sharp accelera-
tion, the speed limiter will
not be able to prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the programmed
speed.
Use of fl oor mats that are not ap-
proved by CITROËN may hinder
access to the accelerator pedal
and thus interfere with the function-
ing of the speed limiter.
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.
