The programmed speed can
be exceeded temporarily by
pressing the accelerator firmly
beyond the point of resistance.
To return to the programmed
speed, simply release the
accelerator pedal until the set
speed limit has been reached
again.
Adjusting the limit speed
(set ting)
You do not have to switch the speed limiter on
in order to set the speed.
Once the function is selected, you can modify
the speed setting by:
-
u
sing buttons 2 and 3, increasing or
decreasing the speed displayed:
F

b
y successive short presses, to modify
the speed by + or - 1
mph (km/h),
F

b
y a maintained press, to change in steps
of + or - 5
mph (km/h). For more information on Speed
limit recognition
, refer to the
corresponding section.
Temporarily exceeding the
speed setting
F Press firmly on the accelerator pedal,
going beyond the point of resistance , to
exceed the programmed speed limit.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the displayed programmed speed flashes.
An audible signal accompanies the flashing
of the programmed speed when exceeding
the speed is not due to an action by the driver
(steep hill, etc.).
As soon as the vehicle's speed returns to the
programmed value, the limiter operates again:
the display of the programmed speed becomes
steady again.

Adaptive cruise control
("CRUISE")
This systems allows the vehicle's
speed to be maintained at a value
set by the driver.

control".
The state of the system is memorised on
switching off the ignition.
Steering mounted controls
By default, the inter-vehicle distance is set
at " Normal ".
Other wise, the last setting made will be
used when switching on the system.
In addition it allows (when circumstances
permit) an inter-vehicle time that you have
selected to be maintained between your

control switches to normal cruise control
mode (without automatic regulation of the
safe inter-vehicle distance).
With a manual gearbox, third or fourth gear or
higher must be engaged.

Speed limit recognition and
memorising them in particular,
refer to the corresponding
section.
As a precaution, it is recommended that
you select a cruise speed setting close to
the current speed of your vehicle.

F
press button 5
again to save the speed.
The value appears immediately on the
instrument panel. Using a radar with a range of about 100
metres,
located at the front of the vehicle, this system
detects a vehicle travelling in front of your
vehicle.
It automatically adjusts 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 " -" b u t to n).
If your vehicle is too close to the vehicle in
front or is approaching it too quickly, adaptive
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 adaptive cruise control gradually
accelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed speed.
If the driver operates a direction indicator to
overtake a slower vehicle, the adaptive cruise
control allows your vehicle to temporarily
approach the vehicle in front to assist the
overtaking manoeuvre, though never exceeding
the programmed speed.

Changing the inter-vehicle
distance
This value remains in memory, regardless of
the state of the system.In 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 programmed
speed
F Press button 6 to select a new inter-vehicle
distance setting from the 3 levels ("Close",
" Normal ", "Distant "). It is possible to exceed the
programmed speed temporarily by
depressing the accelerator pedal.
Simply release the accelerator pedal
to return to the programmed speed.
Pause
The adaptive cruise control can be paused

manually with the control, or automatically: -

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.

situation.

SymbolAssociated message Comment
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 keeps it at the speed of the vehicle in front so as to obser ve 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 – 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 that it can make and in the absence of
any reaction by the driver (operation of the direction indicator, change of lane, reduction in
the speed of the vehicle), the system is automatically paused.
The display of the deactivation message is accompanied by an audible signal.

Driving

218
When the adaptive cruise control pauses
automatically, it can only be reactivated
when all of the safety conditions are met.
The message "Activation not possible,
conditions unsuitable" is displayed while
reactivation is not possible.
When the conditions allow, it is
recommended that the function be
reactivated by pressing button 2 ( S E T+)
or 3
(SET-), which will make the current
speed of your vehicle the new cruise
speed setting, rather than by pressing
button 4
(on/pause) which reactivates the
cruise control using the old cruise speed
setting, which may be very different from
the current speed of your vehicle.
Operating limits
The regulation range is limited to a
maximum difference of 20 mph (30 km/h)
between the cruise speed setting and the
speed of the vehicle in front.
Above this, the system goes into pause if the
safe distance becomes too small.
The adaptive cruise control uses only engine
braking to slow the vehicle. Consequently the
vehicle loses speed slowly, as when releasing
the accelerator pedal.
The system is paused automatically: -

i
f the vehicle in front slows down too much
or too suddenly, and the driver does not
brake,
-
i
f a vehicle comes between your vehicle and
the vehicle in front,
-
i
f the system does not slow the vehicle
enough to continue to maintain a safe
distance, for example when descending a
steep hill.
Since the radar detection range is relatively
restricted, it is possible that the system cannot
detect:
-
v
ehicles of reduced width, such as
motorcycles, for example,
-
v
ehicles not running in the middle of the
lane, -
v

ehicles entering a corner,
-
v
ehicles changing lane at the last moment.
The cruise control does not take
account of:
-
s
tationary vehicles,
-
v
ehicles driving in the opposite direction.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the adaptive
cruise control system, you are warned by an
audible signal and the display of the message
"Driving aid functions fault".
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
