As a safety measure, the driver must
only modify a speed setting when
stationary.
This function allows speed settings to be registered which will then be offered as settings for two systems: the speed limiter (a maximum speed) and
the cruise control (cruising speed).
You can memorise up to six speed settings in the system, depending on version. By default, some speed settings are already memorised.

On a steep descent or in the event of
sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with the
operation of the speed limiter.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:
-

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

d
o not fit one mat on top of another.
Temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed
F If you want to temporarily exceed the programmed limit speed, press firmly on
the accelerator pedal, going beyond the
point of resistance .
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the displayed programmed speed flashes. When the limit speed is exceeded but is not
due to action by the driver, there is an audible
signal to complete the alert.
Once the speed of the vehicle returns to
the programmed setting, the speed limiter
functions again: the display of the programmed
speed setting becomes steady again.
Switching off
F Turn wheel 1 to the "0"
position: the
display of information on the speed limiter
disappears.
Operating fault
Flashing dashes indicate a fault with the speed
limiter.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

displays in the instrument panel
System which automatically maintains the cruising speed of the vehicle at a setting programmed by
the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal. The cruise control is switched on
manually.
It requires a minimum vehicle speed of
25 mph (40 km/h) as well as:
-

w
ith a manual gearbox, the
engagement of fourth gear or
higher,
-

w
ith an electronic gearbox, the
gear selector at position A , or
second gear or higher in manual
mode,
-

w
ith an automatic gearbox, the
gear selector at position
d or
second gear or higher in manual
mode.
As a safety measure, you are advised
to keep your feet near the pedals at all
times.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed setting. The cruise control system is a driving aid
that cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need to observe speed limits, nor the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The operation of the cruise control can be
interrupted (pause):
-

b
y pressing control 4 or by pressing the
brake or clutch pedal,
-

a
utomatically, if operation of the dynamic
stability control system is triggered.

225
Switching on
F To start the cruise control and set a cruise speed, once the vehicle has reached the
desired speed, press button 2 or 3 : the
current speed of your vehicle becomes the
cruise speed setting.
Y

ou can release the accelerator pedal.

to select cruise control mode; the function
is paused. F

P
ressing button 4 interrupts operation of
the system (pause).
F P ressing button 4 again restores operation
of the cruise control (ON).
The cruise control must be activated. As a precaution, it is recommended
that the cruise speed chosen be close
to the current speed of your vehicle, so
as to avoid any sudden acceleration or
deceleration of the vehicle.
Take care: pressing and holding
button
2 or 3 results in a rapid change
in the speed of your vehicle.
To modify the cruise speed setting from the
current speed of the vehicle:
F

i

driving

You may have to brake to control the speed of
your vehicle. In this case, the cruise control is
automatically paused.
To activate the system again, press button 4.Only use the cruise control if the traffic
conditions will allow you to drive for a
certain time at a steady speed and at a
safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
Do not activate the cruise control
in urban areas, in heavy traffic, on
winding or steep roads, on slippery
or flooded roads, or in conditions of
poor visibility (heavy rain, fog, falling
snow...).
In some circumstances, it may not
be possible to maintain or reach the
programmed speed: towing, vehicle
heavily loaded, steep climb.
Temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed
When required (overtaking manoeuvre...), it is
possible to exceed the programmed speed by
pressing the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is temporarily overridden
and the programmed speed setting flashes.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Once the vehicle has returned to the
programmed speed, the cruise control takes
over again: the display of the programmed
speed setting becomes steady again.
When descending a steep hill, the
cruise control system cannot prevent
the vehicle from exceeding the
programmed speed.
Switching off
F Turn wheel 1 to the "0" position: the cruise
control information disappears from the
screen.
Operating fault
Flashing dashes indicate a fault with the cruise
control system.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. 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

Parking sensors
This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.)
which comes within the field of detection of
sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks
cone, etc.) detected initially will no longer be
detected at the end of the manoeuvre, if they
are located in blind spots in the sensors' field
of detection.
This function cannot, in any circumstances,
take the place of the vigilance of the driver.
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
of reverse gear.
Rear parking sensors
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which
increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)
indicates the side on which the obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars in the screen which move
progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed in the screen.
driving

Front parking sensorsOperating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the
system, when reverse gear is engaged
this warning lamp is displayed in the
instrument panel and/or a message
appears in the screen, accompanied
by an audible signal (short beep).
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when an
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
The function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed
or a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle
fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by CITROËN).In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is
engaged, an audible signal (long beep)
indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger
the audible signals of the parking
sensor system.deactivation/Activation of the
front and rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this button.
The indicator lamp in the button comes on.
Pressing this button again reactivates the function.
The indicator lamp in the button goes off.
The sound emitted by the speaker
(front or rear) indicates whether the
obstacle is in front or behind.
