System which prevents the vehicle fromexceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached, pressing the accelerator pedal no longer has
any effect.





Speed limiter

The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to respect speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance andresponsibility on the par t of the driver.

Displays in the instrument panel


Operation

The speed limiter is switched onmanually:
it requires a programmed speed of at least
20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched offby manual foperation of the control.
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.
The pro
grammed speed remains in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.

) Turn dial 1
to the "LIMIT"
position: the
speed limiter mode is selected but is not
switched on
(Pause). You do not have to switch the speed limiter on
in order to set the speed.) Set the speed value by pressing button 2or 3(e.g.: 55 mph (90 km/h)).
Programming
You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 2
and 3:- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = shor t press,
- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.
If speed memorisation is available and activated on your vehicle, theprogrammed speed will stop at the closest memorised speed; refer to thecorresponding paragraph. )Switch the speed limiter on by pressing button 4 . )Switch the speed limiter off by pressing button 4: the display confirms that it has been switched off (Pause).)Switch the speed limiter back on by pressing button 4
again.

Exceeding the programmed speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed speed will not have any effect unless you press the pedal firmlypast the ypoint of resistance
.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the programmed speed,
which is still displayed, flashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or unintentional
deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing of the programmed speed.
On a steep descent or in the event of sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will not be able to prevent the vehiclefrom exceeding the programmed speed. To a v o i d a ny risk of jamming of the pedals:


- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,

- do not fit one mat on top of another.



Exiting the speed limiter mode
)Turn dial 1to the "0"
position: the speed
limiter mode is deselected. It disappears
from the screen.



Operating fault

In the event of a fault with the speed limiter,
the speed is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Operation

The cruise control is switched on
manually: it
requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40 km/h) and engagement of:


- fourth gear on the manual gearbox,

- second gear on the electronic gearbox system or automatic gearbox, in sequentialdriving mode,

- position A
on the electronic gearboxsystem or Don an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off
manually for by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or
on triggering of the ESP system for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator
pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value.

Programming
)Turn dial 1 to the "CRUISE"
position: thecruise control mode is selected but is not
switched on (Pause).)Set the programmed speed by accelerating
to the required speed, then press button 2or 3(e.g.: 70 mph (11 0 k m / h)); the cruisecontrol system is activated (ON).
You can then chan
ge the programmed speed using buttons 2 and 3
:
- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = shor t press,
- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.
If storing speeds is available and activated on your vehicle, theprogrammed speed will stop at the closest stored speed; refer to thecorresponding section.)Stop the cruise control system by pressing button 4: this isconfirmed in the screen (Pause).
)Switch on the cruise control again with another press on button 4 .
Exceeding the programmed speed
Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the programmed speed results in
flashing of this speed in the screen.
Return to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or unintentional
deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing of the speed.
Exiting cruise control mode
)Turn dial 1
to the "0"
position: the cruise control mode is deselected.
It disappears from the screen.



Operating fault

In the event of a cruise control malfunction,
the speed is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

When the cruise control is switched on, be careful if you maintain the pressure on one of the programmed speed changingbuttons: this may result in a very rapidchange 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 reached or maintained. To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:- ensure that the mat is positionedcorrectly,- never fit one mat on top of another.

Parking space sensors


System which measures the parking space available between two vehicles or obstacles.
It measures the size of the space and gives you
information on:


- the possibility of fitting into a free space,
depending on the dimensions of your
vehicle and the distances needed for manoeuvring,

- the level of difficulty of the manoeuvre to
be performed.
The s
ystem does not measure spaces which
are clearl
y much smaller or larger than the sizeof the vehicle.
Displays in the instrument panel You have identified a parking space:)
Press button A
to select the function.)
Operate the direction indicator on the side where the space is to be measured;
a message is displayed to confirm thatmeasurement is in progress.) During measurement, go forward the
length of the space, at a speed less than
12 mph (approx. 20 km/h), to prepare for your manoeuvre.) Once the measurement has beencompleted, the system informs you of
the level of difficulty of the manoeuvre
by a message in the multifunction screen
accompanied by an audible signal.


Operation

The parking space sensor function
warning lamp can have two differentstates:
-
on fixed:the function is selected by a
press on control A . -
off:
the function is not selected,

The function displays the following types of message: The function deselects itself automatically:


- when you engage reverse gear,

- when you switch off the ignition,

- if measuring is not requested,

- within five minutes of selection of the function,

- if the vehicle speed exceeds the
threshold of 45 mph
(approx. 70 km/h) for one minute.

If the lateral distance between
your vehicle and
the parking space is too large, the system maynot be able to measure the space.
The s
ystem remains available after each measurement and can therefore measure several spaces in succession.
In poor or wintry weather, ensure that the sensors are free of dir t, ice or snow.
The parking space sensor system deactivates
the front parking sensors when measuring
forwards.
Parking possible
Parking difficult
Parking not advised
If there is a fault, have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Driving





Parking sensors

This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) which comes within the field of detection of sensorslocated in the bumper.
Cer tain types of obstacle (stake, roadworkscone, etc.) detected initially will no longer bedetected at the end of the manoeuvre due to
the presence of blind spots.


This function cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the vigilance and responsibility of the driver.The s
ystem is switched on by engaging reversegear. This is accompanied by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you exit reverse gear.
Rear parking sensors
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by anintermittent audible signal, the frequency of whichincreases 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 andthe obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomescontinuous.



Visual assistance

This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars in the multifunction screen
which move progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is near, the "Danger" symbol is also displayed in the screen.

Front par king sensors
Operating fault

In the event of a malfunction of
the system, when reverse gear is engaged this warning lamp
is displa
yed 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 parkin
g 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 fur ther 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 isengaged, an audible signal (long beep)indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
When the vehicle is moving at a speed
below 6 mph (10 km/h), cer tain soundsources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger the audiblesignals 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 theobstacle is in front or behind.
