Exceeding the programmed speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed speed will not have any effect unless you press the pedal firmly past the point of resistance .
The
speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the programmed speed,
w
hich is still displayed, flashes.
Returning
to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or unintentional
d
eceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing of the
pro
grammed
s
peed. On
a steep descent or in the event of s
harp acceleration, the speed limiter w
ill not be able to prevent the vehicle
from
exceeding the programmed
s
peed.
To
avoid any risk of jamming of the

Cruise control
System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the value programmed
b
y the driver, without any action on the
a
ccelerator
ped
al.
The cruise control is switched on
m
anually:
it r
equires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(
40 km/h), as well as the engagement of:
-
f
ourth gear on a manual gearbox,
-
s
econd gear on a or automatic or electronic
g
earbox, in sequential mode,
-
p
osition A on an electronic gearbox or
p
osition d on an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off
m
anually
o
r by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on
t
riggering of the trajectory control systems for
s
afety reasons.
It
is possible to exceed the programmed speed
t
emporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
To
return to the programmed speed, simply
r
elease the accelerator pedal.

d
eceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing of the speed.
Leaving cruise control mode
F Turn thumb wheel 1 to the "0" position: the cruise control mode is d
eselected. The display returns to the distance recorder.
Operating fault
In the event of a cruise control malfunction, the speed is cleared resulting in flashing of the

o
r a qualified workshop.
When
the cruise control is switched on,
b
e careful if you maintain the pressure
o

Do
not use the cruise control on
s
lippery roads or in heavy traffic.
On
a steep descent, the cruise control
w
ill not be able to prevent the vehicle
from

Parking sensors
This system indicates the proximity of an obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.)
w
hich comes within the field of detection of
s
ensors located in the bumper.
Certain
types of obstacle (stake, roadworks
c
one, etc.) detected initially will no longer be
d
etected at the end of the manoeuvre, if they
a
re located in blind spots in the sensors' field
o
f detection.
This system cannot in any circumstances replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which i
ncreases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The
sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)
i
ndicates the side on which the obstacle is located.
When
the distance between the vehicle and
t
he obstacle becomes less than approximately
t
hirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
c
ontinuous.
Rear parking sensors
Visual assistance*
This supplements the audible signal by d isplaying bars in the screen which move
p
rogressively nearer to the vehicle.
When
the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
s
ymbol is displayed in the screen.
The
system
is
switched
on
by
engaging
reverse
g
e a r.
This
is
confirmed
by
an
audible
signal.
The
system
is
switched
off
when
you
come
out
o
f
reverse
gear.

Front parking sensors*Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the s
ystem, w hen r everse g ear i s enga ged t
his
warning
lamp is displayed in the instrument
p
anel
and/or
a message appears in the screen,
a
ccompanied by an audible signal (short beep).
Contact
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop.In addition to the rear parking sensors, the f ront parking sensors are triggered when an
o
bstacle is detected in front and the speed of
t
he vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The
front parking sensors are interrupted if
t
he vehicle stops for more than three seconds
i
n for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
d
etected or when the speed of the vehicle
e
xceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
The
sound emitted by the speaker
(
front or rear) indicates whether the
o
bstacle is in front or behind. In
bad weather or in winter, ensure
t
hat the sensors are not covered with
m
ud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is
e
ngaged, an audible signal (long beep)
i
ndicates that the sensors may be dirty.
Certain
sound sources (motorcycle,
l
orry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger
t
he audible signals of the parking
s
ensor system.
The
function will be deactivated
a
utomatically if a trailer is being towed
o
r a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle
f
itted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
r
ecommended by CITROËN).
