DRIVING
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 20 mph
(approximately 30 km/h) must be
programmed.
The speed limiter controls are located
on the left-hand side of the steering
wheel. The programmed information is
grouped together in zone A
of the
instrument panel screen.
Steering mounted controls
Displays in the instrument
panel
Programming
Rotate the control 1
to the "LIM"
po-
sition.
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
(1 km/h) and a sustained press in
steps of 3 mph (5 km/h).
Activation
When the desired maximum speed
is displayed, press button 3
so that
the limitation is activated.
On selection of the
function, the previous
memorised speed and
the information "OFF"
are displayed in the in-
strument panel. The information "OFF"
then disappears from
the instrument panel
screen.
While the function is active, pressing
the accelerator pedal will not enable
the programmed speed to be ex-
ceeded, 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 memorised.
The speed limiter cannot, in any circum-
stances, take the place of the obser-
vance of speed limits or of the vigilance
and responsibility of the driver.

slightly in relation to that memo-
rised.
You can adjust the memorised speed
in the instrument panel screen by
pressing:
)
button 4
to increase the speed,
)
button 2

to the "REG"
position.
Once the desired speed has been
reached using the accelerator, press
button 2

stances, take the place of the obser-
vance of speed limits or of the vigilance
and responsibility of the driver.

PNEUMATIC SUSPENSION
Grand
C4 Picasso
C4 Picasso
The pneumatic rear suspension en-
hances driving comfort by maintain-
ing a constant body height whatever
the vehicle load.
Operation
- If there is an increase in vehicle
load, a sinking of the rear of
the vehicle is detected and the
pneumatic springs infl ate in or-
der to compensate for the extra
weight.
- If there is a decrease in load, a
rising of the rear of the vehicle is
detected and so the pneumatic
springs defl ate to return the ve-
hicle to its nominal height.
- If the vehicle has been unused
for a long period, the pneumatic
springs may infl ate if necessary
when you unlock or open a door,
so as to return the vehicle to its
nominal height.
If you do not reactivate the system
manually, automatic height correc-
tion will be activated as soon as the
vehicle starts to move. During height
correction, the service warning lamp
comes on and a message on the
screen reminds you not to exceed
6 mph (10 km/h).
The automatic correction does not
function if the doors or the boot are
open.
The automatic correction operates
even if your vehicle is in power
economy mode.
Activation/Deactivation
The automatic height correction can
be deactivated:
)
press button B
located on the
left hand boot interior trim for ap-
proximately two seconds,
)
release the button when you
hear a beep. Deactivation is con-
fi rmed by the lighting of the indi-
cator lamp in button B
.
In the event of a system fault,
alert messages, always in asso-
ciation with the service warning
lamp, will appear in the instru-
ment panel . Contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
You must deactivate the system in
the following circumstances:
- when working under the vehicle,
- when changing a wheel,
- when transporting the vehicle on
a lorry or ferry.
To reactivate automatic height cor-
rection:
)
press button B
again for approxi-
mately two seconds,
)
release the button when you hear
a beep. Activation is confi rmed

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
)
Remove the compressor and store
the cartridge in the plastic bag,
supplied in the kit, to avoid staining
your vehicle with traces of fl uid.

Drive immediately for approximate-
ly two miles (three kilometres), at
reduced speed (between 15 and
35 mph - 20 and 60 km/h), to plug
the puncture.
)
Stop to check the repair and the
pressure.
)
Connect the compressor pipe di-
rectly to the valve of the repaired
wheel.
)
Switch on the compressor by mov-
ing the switch A

tric plug to the vehicle's 12 V
socket again.
)
Start the vehicle again and leave
the engine running.
)
Adjust the pressure using the
compressor (to infl ate: switch A
