AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT OF THE XENON HEADLAMPS
In order to avoid causing a nuisance
to other road users, this system cor-
rects the height of the xenon head-
lamps beam automatically and when
stationary, in relation to the load in
the vehicle. If a malfunction occurs,
this warning lamp is
displayed on the in-
strument panel, ac-
companied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction screen.
The system then places your head-
lamps in the lowest position.
If a malfunction occurs, do not
touch the xenon bulbs. Contact a
CITROËN dealer.
DIRECTIONAL LIGHTING
When the dipped or main beam
headlamps are on, this function ena-
bles the light beam to follow the di-
rection of the road.
The use of this function, coupled
with the xenon headlamps only,
considerably improves the quality of
your lighting when cornering.

system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the vigilance or
responsibility of the driver. Puncture
The service warning lamp
comes on in the instru-
ment panel, accompanied
by an audible signal and
a message on the multi-
function screen locating
the wheel concerned.
Check the tyre pressures as soon as
possible. This check must be carried
out when the tyres are cold. The
STOP warning lamp
comes on in the instru-
ment panel, accompanied
by an audible signal and
a message on the multi-
function screen locating
the wheel concerned.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.

have the tyre pressure checked as
soon as possible.
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
The service warning
lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, ac-
companied by an audible
signal and a message on
the multifunction screen
locating the wheel or wheels which
are not detected or indicating a fault
in the system.
Have the faulty sensor(s) checked
by a CITROËN dealer. All repairs and changing of tyres
o n a w h e e l fi t t e d w i t h t h i s s y s t e m
must be carried out by a CITROËN
dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you in-
stall a wheel which is not detected
b y y o u r v e h i c l e ( e x a m p l e : fi t t i n g
of snow tyres), you must have the
system reinitialised by a CITROËN
dealer.
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pres-
sure checked regularly (refer to the
" T e c h n i c a l d a t a - § I d e n t i fi c a t i o n
markings" section) to ensure that
the optimum dynamic perform-
ance of the vehicle is maintained
and prevent premature wear of the
tyres, particularly in arduous driv-
ing conditions (heavy load, high
speed).
The tyre pressures must be
checked cold, at least once a
month. Remember to check the
pressure of the spare wheel.

SPEED LIMITER
System which prevents the vehi-
cle from exceeding the speed pro-
grammed by the driver.
Once the limit speed has been
reached, the accelerator pedal no
longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched on
manually: a speed of at least 30 km/h
(around 20 mph) must be pro-
grammed.
The speed limiter cannot, in any cir-
cumstances, take the place of the
observance of speed limits or of the
vigilance and responsibility of the
driver.
Steering wheel controls
The speed limiter controls are lo-
cated on the left-hand side of the
steering wheel.
Displays on the instrument panel
The programmed information is
grouped together in zone A of the
instrument panel display.
Programming
Rotate the control 1 to the "LIM" po-
sition.
On selection of the function, the
previous memorised speed and the
information "OFF" are displayed on
the instrument panel.
With the engine running, you can
adjust the memorised maximum
speed, by means of short or long
presses on:
button 4 to increase the memo-
rised maximum speed,
button 2 to decrease the memo-
rised maximum speed.
Successive presses will modify the
maximum speed in steps of 1 mph
and a sustained press in steps of
3 mph. Activation
When the desired maximum speed
is displayed, press button
3 so that
the limitation is activated.
The information "OFF" then disap-
pears from the instrument panel dis-
play.
While the function is active, press-
ing the accelerator pedal will not en-
able the programmed speed to be
exceeded, except if you press the
pedal hard down to beyond the end-
of-travel switch.
The speed of your vehicle may vary
slightly in relation to that memo-
rised.
Deactivation
Press on button 3 .
This action causes the information
"OFF" to appear on the instrument
panel display.
This action does not cancel the
memorised maximum speed which
remains displayed in zone A of the
instrument panel.

Override of the programmed
speed
The accelerator pedal is equipped
with an end-of-travel switch. If you
action this switch by pressing the
pedal hard down, you can exceed
the memorised maximum speed at
any time.
During the time the speed is be-
ing exceeded, the displayed speed
fl a s h e s .
You have only to release the ac-
celerator pedal to return below the
maximum speed and render the
function active again.
If during the operation of the speed
limiter, the system is unable to keep
within the maximum speed (for ex-
ample on a steep descent or under
heavy acceleration) then the speed
fl a s h e s . A d a p t y o u r s p e e d a s n e c e s -
sary.
The function will re-engage when
your speed returns below the de-
sired maximum speed. Return to normal driving
By moving the control 1 from po-
sition "LIM" to position 0 .
By the engine stopping.
The speed previously chosen is still
memorised.
Operating fault
If there is a speed limiter malfunc-
tion, a message will display accom-
panied by an audible signal and
lighting of the service warning lamp.
Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer.
On a steep downhill gradient or on
sharp acceleration, the speed limiter
will not be able to prevent the vehi-
cle from exceeding the programmed
speed.
U s e o f fl o o r m a t s t h a t a r e n o t a p -
proved by CITROËN may hinder
access to the accelerator pedal and
thus interfere with the functioning of
the speed limiter.
To avoid any risk of interfering with
the pedals:
- c h e c k t h a t t h e fl o o r m a t i s c o r - rectly positioned,
- n e v e r u s e m o r e t h a n o n e fl o o r mat.
