DRIVING
In the event of a steep descent or
under excessive acceleration, the
speed limiter (which does not act
on the brakes) may not be able to
prevent the vehicle from exceeding
the programmed speed.
Use of a fl oor mat other than that
recommended by CITROËN may
affect the normal operation of the
accelerator pedal and hamper the
operation of the speed limiter.

the pedal area to avoid any risk of
interference with the pedals.

of-travel switch. In order to exceed
the memorised maximum speed at
any time, you can press the pedal

limiter is not able to prevent the vehi-
cle from exceeding the programmed
