Good practice
When changing the programmed reference
speed by pressing and holding the control,
take care as the speed may increase or
decrease rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads or in heavy traffic.
On a steep gradient, the cruise control will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
The cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to comply
with speed limits nor can it replace the need
for vigilance and responsibility on the part
of driver.
It is advisable to leave your feet near the
pedals.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedals:
- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,
- never fit one mat on top of another.
Cancelling the programmed speed
When the vehicle stops, after the ignition is
switched off, the system no longer stores
any speed.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction, the function is
switched off and the indicator light switches off.
Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the system
checked.

FIXED SPEED LIMITER
If your vehicle is fitted with this function,
the speed of your vehicle can be limited
to a fixed speed of approximately 55 mph
(90 km/h) or 60 mph (100 km/h). This
maximum speed cannot be changed.
A label in the passenger compartment
indicates this maximum speed.
The fixed speed limiter is not a function
of the cruise control type. It cannot be
activated or deactivated by the driver while
driving.
When a malfunction of the ESP
system occurs, this warning light
comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and confirmed by a
message on the display.
Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the
system checked.
The ASR/ESP systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but should not
incite the driver to take risks or to drive at
high speed.
The operation of these systems is ensured
if the recommendations of the manufacturer
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the fitting and repair
procedures within the CITROËN network are
observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer.
