tion “REG” to position 0.

The cruise speed chosen pre-
viously is no longer memorised.

32 This driving assistance device
allows you to select a maximum
speed that you wish not to exceed.
This has to be a speed greater
than 30 km/h (approx. 20 mph).
The speed limiter controls are
located on the steering wheel.
Note: The information relating
to the limiter is displayed in
zone A of the instrument panel.
To select the function
Turn control
1 to position “LIM”.
On selection of the function, the
last speed memorised and the
information “OFF” will appear: To adjust the maximum speed
Provided the engine is running,
you can adjust the memorised
maximum speed, with short or
long presses on:
- button
4 to increase the memo-
rised maximum speed,
- button 2 to decrease the memo-
rised maximum speed.
Note: successive presses modify
the memorised speed in steps
of 1 km/h (1 mph), a continuous
press in steps of 5 km/h (3 mph). Activation of the maximum
speed
When the desired maximum
speed is displayed, press button
3
to activate the limitation.
The information “OFF” then dis-
appears from zone A.
While the function is active, press-
ing the accelerator pedal will not
enable you to go beyond the pro-
grammed speed unless you press
the pedal hard down past the tight
spot (see “Temporary exceeding
of the maximum speed”).
Note: The vehicle speed may vary
slightly from that memorised.

To stop the function
- move the control from position
“LIM” to position 0.
- or stop the engine.
The speed that you chose is
memorised.
In the event of a malfunction , a
message is displayed, accompa-
nied by a sound signal and lighting
of the SERVICE warning lamp.
Consult your CITROËN dealer.
A floor carpet not recommended by CITROËN risks sliding under
the accelerator pedal, thus preventing you from pressing past the
tight spot.
It will then be impossible to exit from the desired limita tion,
unless by acting on the steering wheel control.
The driver must still remain attentive and in complete co ntrol of
the vehicle.
Temporary override of the
maximum speed
You can exceed the memorised
maximum speed at any time by
pressing the accelerator pedal
hard down past the tight spot.
During the time the limit speed
is being exceeded, the displayed
speed flashes.
You have only to release the
accelerator pedal to return below
the maximum speed, thus keep-
ing the function active.
Note:
if during speed limitation,
the system cannot keep to the
maximum speed (especially on a
steep descent or if you accelerate
too hard) the speed flashes. Adapt
your speed as necessary.
The function will re-engage when
your speed has returned below
the desired maximum.
Deactivation of the maximum
speed
Press button
3.
The information “OFF” will appear
on the instrument panel screen.
This action does not cancel the
memorised maximum speed,
which remains displayed in zone A
of the instrument panel. S P E E D L I M I T E R

In automatic mode, a touch on the
controls under the steering wheel
«+» or «-» lets you change gear

remains displayed in the rev coun-
ter.
In the absence of any new action,
automatic mode reactivates
depending on the driving condi-
tions.
Engaging reverse gear
Only engage reverse gear when
the vehicle is completely station-
ary.
•
When the vehicle is moving at
very low speed, if reverse gear is
requested (position R), this will
be taken into account only when
the vehicle stops.
The «foot on brake» warning lamp may flash in the instrument
panel to remind you to brake.
• If vehicle is moving at high speed
and reverse gear is requested,
the warning lamp «N» will flash
and your vehicle will go automati-
cally into neutral. To re-engage a
gear, you have only to return the
gear selector to position A or M.
Note : A sound signal indicates
when reverse gear is engaged.

To aid starting on a gradient, your
vehicle is equipped with a system
which keeps it temporarily immo-
bilised.
It keeps the brakes applied for a
brief moment, precisely the time
taken for moving your foot from
the brake pedal to the accelerator
pedal.
This function is only active
when the vehicle has been com-
pletely stationary, with your foot
on the brake pedal, in particular
conditions on a slope .
Note :
The hill start assist function can-
not be deactivated. On a descending slope, pro-
vided the vehicle is stationary
and reverse gear is engaged,
the vehicle is held for a brief
moment when you release the
brake pedal.

Warning : do not exit the vehicle during the hill start as sist phase.
On an ascending slope, with the
vehicle stationary, the vehicle
is held for a brief moment when
you release the brake pedal
,
provided you are in A or M.
Display of these warning lamps
indicates a malfunctioning of the
hill start assist function.

Note:
The simultaneous use of
other high frequency equipment
(mobile telephones, domestic
alarms...) may momentarily hinder
the operation of the remote con-
trol.
In the event of a permanent fault,
the remote control should be reini-
tialised. (See next page).
It is dangerous to operate the deadlocking when a perso n is in
the vehicle as unlocking is impossible from the inside
(without the remote control).
When closing the windows using the remote control,
the user should make sure that nobody is obstructing the windows from shutting properly.
Central unlocking
A short press on button
B unlocks your vehicle.
This operation is confirmed by the rapid flashing of the direction indicat ors
and the lighting of the interior lamp (if the function i s activated). It can also
deploy the exterior rear view mirrors.
Central locking - Closing of windows - Deadlocking
- A short press on button A locks your vehicle.
- A long press on button A locks your vehicle and closes the windows.
This operation is confirmed by the direction indicators illuminating f or
approx. two seconds and by the interior lamp switching off. Th is also folds
the exterior rear view mirrors.
If any of the doors, or the boot, is open or not properly clo sed, central
locking does not operate.
For vehicles equipped with deadlocking , two successive presses on
button A deadlock the vehicle. It is then impossible to open the do ors from
either inside or outside the vehicle.

38 Guide-me-home lighting
A press on button
C operates the
guide-me-home lighting (illumina-
tion of the sidelamps and dipped
beams for approx. one minute).
A second press prior to the end of
this timing cancels the guide-me-
home lighting.
Locating of the vehicle
To locate the vehicle on a carpark,
press button A, the interior lamps
come on and the direction indica-
tors flash for a few seconds. The
vehicle remains locked.
Folding and ejection of the key
Button D is for folding and eject-
ing the key from its housing in the
remote control.
If you do not press on button D,
you could damage the mecha-
nism.
Except when reinitialising, the remote control cannot functi on
while the key is in the ignition, even when switched off.
Warning: By inadvertently actioning the remote control, wh en for
example it is in your pocket, you can unlock the vehic le without
your realising it.
However, if none of the doors is opened within thirty sec onds
following an unlocking, the doors will automatically re lock.
Warning: There a is a risk of damage if the replacement battery is
not the correct one.
Only use batteries that are identical or equivalent to thos e
approved by CITROËN.
Changing the remote control battery
Unclip the cover to gain access to the battery.
Battery:
CR 0523: 3V.
Re-initialisation of the remote control
After a change of battery, it is necessary to re-initialise the remote control.
To do that, switch on the ignition and immediately action button A on your
remote control to trigger the action desired. This may take some t en sec-
onds.
Note: Make a careful note of the numbers for the keys and for the remo te
control on the ASSISTANCE card. Keep this in a safe place.
Do not throw away the old batteries. They should be retur ned to the
CITROËN dealer or deposited in a recognised recycling facility (cam-
era shops etc.).
R E M O T E C O N T R O L
Take care not to place the remote control in contact
with grease or dust, or leave it in the rain or in a damp environment.
A hard object also on the
key ring, pressing on the key while it is in the ignition, can cause a malfunction.
