SPEED LIMITER
System which prevents the vehi-
cle from exceeding the speed pro-
grammed by the driver.
When the limit speed is reached, the
accelerator pedal no longer has any
effect.
The speed limiter is switched
on manually: a speed of at least
20 mph (approx. 30 km/h) must be
programmed.
The speed limiter can in no way
replace respect for speed limits or
vigilance and responsibility on the
part of the driver.
Steering wheel controls
The speed limiter switches are lo-
cated on the left-hand side of the
steering wheel.
Displays on the instrument panel
The speed limiter information is dis-
played in zone
A of the instrument
panel.
Programming

 Press on button 4 to select speed
limiter mode " LIMIT ".
The selection is confi rmed by the
display of the function in zone A of
the instrument panel. Activation

 Press on button 3 when the de-
sired maximum speed is dis-
played.
The information "ON" then appears
in zone A .
When the function is selected, the
last memorised speed and the infor-
mation "PAUSE" are displayed.
With the engine running, you can
adjust the memorised maximum
speed, displayed in zone A , by
pressing on:

 Button 1 to increase the memo-
rised maximum speed.

 Button 2 to decrease the memo-
rised maximum speed. Successive presses will modify the
cruise speed in steps of 1 mph and a

D R I V I N G In the event of a steep descent or
under excessive acceleration, the
speed limiter (which does not act
on the brakes) may not be able to
prevent the vehicle from exceeding
the programmed speed.
Use of a fl oor mat other than that
recommended by CITROËN may
affect the normal operation of the
accelerator pedal and hamper the
operation of the speed limiter.
Floor mats approved by CITROËN
are fi tted with a 3rd fi xing located in
the pedal area to avoid any risk of
interference with the pedals.
Suspension/Resumption

 Press on button 3 .
This action causes the information

"PAUSE" to appear in zone A of the
instrument panel.
This action does not cancel the
memorised maximum speed which
remains displayed in zone A of the
instrument panel. Overriding the programmed
speed
The accelerator pedal has an end-
of-travel switch. In order to exceed
the memorised maximum speed at
any time, you can press the pedal
all the way down. While the speed
is being exceeded, the speed dis-
played in zone
A will fl ash. You have
only to release the accelerator pedal
to return below the maximum speed,
to restore the function.
The speed will also fl ash if the speed
limiter is not able to prevent the vehi-
cle from exceeding the programmed
speed (e.g. on a steep descent or
under excessive acceleration).
To reactivate the speed limiter, re-
lease the accelerator to slow to a
speed lower than the programmed
speed. Return to normal driving

 Press on button 5 .

 Select the speed limiter function.

CRUISE CONTROL
System which automatically main-
tains the vehicle speed programmed
by the driver, without any action on
the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: the vehicle speed must be
at least 25 mph (40 km/h) and you
must engage at least:
- 4th gear for manual gearboxes,
- 2nd gear for automatic gearboxes. Displays on the instrument
panel
The programmed information is
grouped together in zone
A of the
instrument panel.
Programming

 Press button 4 to select cruise
control mode " CRUISE ".
Steering wheel switches
The cruise control switches are lo-
cated on the left-hand side of the
steering wheel. The selection is confi rmed by the
display of the function in zone
A of
the instrument panel.
When the function is selected, no
cruising speed has yet been
memorised. Once the desired speed has been
reached using the accelerator, press
button
1 or button 2 . The cruising
speed is then memorised and cruise
control is activated. The cruising
speed is displayed in zone A of the
instrument panel, and "ON" is dis-
played.
Adjustment of the memorised
speed while cruise control is
in operation
You can adjust the memorised
speed, displayed in zone A , by
pressing:
- Button 1 to increase the speed.
- Button 2 to reduce the speed.
Successive presses will modify the
cruise speed in steps of 1 mph and a
continuous press in steps of 5 mph.
You can then release the accelera-
tor pedal. The vehicle will automati-
cally keep to the speed chosen.
The vehicle speed may vary slightly
from that memorised.
If during cruise control the system
cannot keep to the cruise speed
(e.g. on a steep descent), then the
speed fl ashes. If necessary, brake to
curb your speed.

141

D R I V I N G Cruise control must only be
used where the traffi c con-
ditions permit driving at a
constant speed.
Do not use it on congested roads
or when the weather or the road
conditions are poor.
The driver still has to remain atten-
tive and in complete control of his
vehicle.
You are recommended to keep your
feet within range of the pedals.
Overriding the programmed
speed
While cruise control is in operation,
it is always possible to go above the
programmed speed simply by press-
ing the accelerator pedal (for exam-
ple to overtake another vehicle).
The speed displayed in zone
A
fl ashes.
You only have to release the ac-
celerator pedal to return to the pro-
grammed speed.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM
System which detects the involun-
tary crossing of longitudinal traffi c
lane markings on the ground (con-
tinuous or discontinuous line).
Sensors, fi tted below the front
bumper, trigger a warning if the vehi-
cle drifts (speed higher than 50 mph
(80 km/h)).
This system operates to its full
potential above all when used on
motorways and main roads. Activation

 Press button A , the indicator light
comes on.
Deactivation

 Press button A again, the indica-
tor light switches off.
The status of the system remains
in the memory when the ignition is
switched off.
Detection
You are warned by the vibration of
the driver's seat cushion:
- on the right-hand side, if the marking on the ground has been
crossed on the right,
- on the left-hand side, if the mark- ing on the ground has been
crossed on the left.
No warning is transmitted while the
direction indicator is active and for
approximately 20 seconds after the
direction indicator is switched off.
A warning may be transmitted if a
direction marking (e.g. arrow) or
non-standard marking (e.g. graffi ti)
is crossed. Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction, the
service warning light comes on, ac-
companied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction display.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
The lane departure warning sys-
tem cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver. The detection may be disrupted:
- if the sensors are dirty (mud,
snow...),
- if the markings on the ground are worn,
- if there is little contrast between the markings on the ground and
the road surface.

PARKING SPACE SENSOR
System which measures the parking
space available between two vehi-
cles or obstacles. It measures the
size of the space and gives you in-
formation on:
- the possibility of fi tting into a free space, depending on the
dimensions of your vehicle and
the distances necessary for your
manoeuvring,
- the level of diffi culty of the ma- noeuvre to be performed.
The system does not measure spac-
es which are clearly much smaller or
larger than the size of the vehicle. Displays on the instrument
panel
The parking space sensor function
warning lamp can have three differ-
ent statuses:
-
off: the function is not selected,
- on fi xed: the function is selected
but the conditions for measuring
are not yet met (direction indi-
cator not operating, speed too
high) or the measuring phase is
terminated.
- fl ashing: the measuring is in
progress or the message is be-
ing displayed. You can select the "parking space
sensor" function by pressing button

A. The fi xed lighting of the warning
lamp indicates that the function is
selected.
During the measurement, the mes-
sage "Measurement in progress -
Vmax 20 km/h (12 mph)" is displayed
on the instrument panel screen.

D R I V I N G If there is a malfunction, have the
system checked by a CITROËN
dealer.
Operation
You have identifi ed a parking
space:


Press button A to select the function.

 Activate the direction indicator
on the side where the space is to
be measured.

 During the measuring, go for-
ward the length of the space, at
a speed less than 12 mph (ap-
prox. 20 km/h), to prepare for
your manoeuvre.
The system then measures the size
of the space.

 The system informs you of the
level of diffi culty of the manoeu-
vre via a message on the instru-
ment panel display accompanied
by a gong.

 Depending on the message is-
sued by the system, you may or
may not be able to perform the
manoeuvre. The function displays the following
types of message:

Parking YES

Parking diffi cult

Parking NO The function deselects itself auto-
matically:
- when you engage reverse gear,
- when you switch off the ignition,
- if measuring is not requested,
- within fi ve 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 may not be able
the measure the space.
The function remains available after
each measurement and thus can
measure more than one space dur-
ing your search.
In bad weather conditions or in
winter, make sure that the sensors
are not covered by dirt, or by ice or
snow.
The parking space sensor function
deactivates the front parking assist-
ance during the space measuring
phase when you are in forward gear.
