Speed limiter ("LIMIT")
System which prevents the vehicle from exceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need to observe speed limits, nor can it
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Once the programmed speed limit is reached,
additional pressure on the accelerator pedal
has no effect.

Exceeding the programmed
speed
If the programmed speed is exceeded, the
displayed speed flashes.
Once the vehicle returns to the programmed
speed, the display becomes steady again.
Switching off
F Turn thumbwheel 1 to the "0" position. T
he display of information related to the
cruise control disappears. Flashing of the dashes indicates a fault with the
cruise control.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Operating faultWhen the cruise control is switched on,
be careful if you maintain the pressure
on one of the programmed speed
changing buttons: this may result in a
very rapid change in the speed of your
vehicle.
Do not use the cruise control on
slippery roads or in heavy traffic.
On a steep descent, the cruise control
will not be able to prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the programmed speed.
On steep climbs or when towing,
the programmed speed may not be
achieved or maintained.
The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with the
operation of the cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:
-

e
nsure that the mat is secured
c o r r e c t l y,
-

n
ever fit one mat on top of another.

Dynamic cruise control ("CRUISE")
This systems allows the vehicle's speed to
be maintained at a value set by the driver.
In addition it allows (when circumstances
permit) an inter-vehicle distance that you
have selected to be maintained between
your vehicle and the vehicle in front.
In the Driving menu, activate/deactivate
" Dynamic cruise control".
The state of the system is memorised on
switching off the ignition.
Activation / Deactivation
The cruise control selection
thumbwheel must be at the
"CRUISE" position, otherwise the
selection is not taken into account.
Activation or deactivation of
the system is via the vehicle
configuration menu.

mph (150 km/h).
If the cruise speed setting is above 90 mph
(150 km/h), the dynamic cruise control switches
to normal cruise control mode (without
automatic regulation of the safe inter-vehicle
distance).

Inter-vehicle distance
Using a radar with a range of about 100 metres,
located at the front of the vehicle, this system
detects a vehicle running in front of your
vehicle.
It automatically adapts the speed of your
vehicle to that of the vehicle in front.
If the vehicle in front is running more slowly,
the system progressively reduces the speed of
your vehicle using just engine braking (as if the
driver had pressed the " -" button).
If your vehicle is too close to, or approaching
too quickly the vehicle in front, the dynamic
cruise control is automatically deactivated.
The driver is then alerted by an audible signal,
accompanied by a message.
If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes
lane, the dynamic cruise control progressively
accelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed speed.
If the driver operates a direction indicator to
overtake a slower vehicle, the dynamic cruise
control allows your vehicle to temporarily
approach the vehicle in front to assist the
overtaking manoeuvre, though never exceeding
the programmed speed.

the state of the system. F

ress button 6 to select a new inter-vehicle
distance setting from the three levels
("Close ", "Normal ", "Distant ").
Modification of the inter-
vehicle distanceIn the event of the presence of a vehicle
detected by the inter-vehicle distance
radar, if the speed selected is too far
above the speed of that vehicle, the
system is not activated and the alert
message "Activation not possible,
conditions unsuitable" is displayed until
driving conditions are safe to allow
activation of the system.
The inter-vehicle distance setting
is memorised when the ignition is
switched off.
Exceeding the programmed
speed
Simply release the accelerator pedal
to return to the programmed speed. It is possible to exceed the
programmed speed temporarily by
depressing the accelerator pedal. The dynamic cruise control can be paused

manually with the control, or automatically:
-
b
y pressing the brake or clutch pedal,
-
i
n the event of operation of the ESC, for
safety reasons,
-
w
hen an inter-vehicle distance threshold
is reached (calculated according to the
relative speeds of your vehicle and the
vehicle in front and the inter-vehicle
distance setting selected),
-
w
hen the distance between your vehicle
and the one in front becomes too small,
-
w
hen the speed of the vehicle in front is
too

low,
- w hen the speed of your vehicle becomes
too low.
Pause
If the programmed setting is unintentionally
exceeded, descending a steep hill for example,
the speed setting in the instrument panel
flashes as a warning.

The following table describes the alerts and the messages displayed for the different driving situations.
The display of these alerts is not sequential.
Driving situations and associated alerts
SymbolAssociated message Comments
No vehicle detected:
the system operates as a standard cruise control.
Detection of a vehicle, at the limit of the range of the radar:
the system operates as a standard cruise control.
"SPEED ADJUSTED" Detection of a vehicle that is too close or running at a speed lower than your vehicle's
cruise speed setting.
The system uses engine braking to slow your vehicle (within a limit of 20 mph (30 km/h))
and then hold it at the speed of the vehicle in front so as to observe the programmed inter-
vehicle time.
When automatically slowing down behind a vehicle, your true speed may be higher than
the "adjusted speed" displayed.
"SPEED ADJUSTED" When the adjusted speed reaches the limit of regulation (speed setting less than 20
mph
(30 km/h)), the adjusted speed flashes together with the speed setting to signal that
automatic deactivation of the system is imminent.
"Cruise control paused" If the system exceeds the limit of speed adjustment possible by the system and in the
absence of any reaction by the driver (operation of the direction indicator, change of lane,
reduction of the speed of the vehicle), the system is automatically paused.
The display of the deactivation message is accompanied by an audible signal.
