DRIVING
SPEED LIMITER
System which prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by
the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is
reached, pressing the accelerator pedal
in the normal manner no longer has any
effect.
The speed limiter is switched on
ma-
nually: it requires a programmed speed
of at least 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off
by
manual operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator
fi rmly.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply slow down to a speed below the
programmed speed.
The programmed speed remains in the
memory when the ignition is switched
off.
The speed limiter cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need
to respect speed limits, nor can
it replace the need for vigilance
and responsibility on the part of
the driver.

DRIVING
On a steep descent or in the
event of sharp acceleration, the
speed limiter will not be able to
prevent the vehicle from exceed-
ing the programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of
the pedals:
- ensure that the mat is posi-
tioned correctly,
- do not fi t one mat on top of
another.
Programming
)
Turn thumb wheel 1
to the "LIMIT"
position: the speed limiter mode
is selected but is not switched on
(PAUSE).
You do not have to switch the speed
limiter on in order to set the speed.
)
Set the speed value by pressing button 2
or 3
(e.g.: 55 mph (90 km/h)).
You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 2
and 3
:
- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press,
- by + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press,
- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.
)
Switch the speed limiter on by pressing button 4
.
)
Switch the speed limiter off by pressing button 4
: the
display confi rms that it has been switched off (PAUSE).
)
Switch the speed limiter back on by pressing button 4
again.
Exceeding the programmed speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed
speed will not have any effect unless you press the pedal
fi rmly
past the point of resistance
.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the pro-
grammed speed, which is still displayed, fl ashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intentional
or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically
cancels the fl ashing of the programmed speed.
Leaving limiter mode
)
Turn thumb wheel 1
to the "0"
position: the speed limiter
mode is deselected. The display returns to the distance
recorder.
Operating fault
In the event of a speed limiter fault, the
speed is cleared resulting in fl ashing of
the dashes.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

DRIVING
The cruise control cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to respect speed limits, nor can it re-
place the need for vigilance and re-
sponsibility on the part of the driver.
CRUISE CONTROL
System which automatically maintains
the speed of the vehicle at the value
programmed by the driver, without any
action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: it requires a minimum vehicle
speed of 25 mph (40 km/h), as well as
the engagement of:
- fourth gear on a manual gearbox,
- second gear on a or automatic or elec-
tronic gearbox, in sequential mode,
- position A
on an electronic gearbox
or position D
on an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off
man-
ually or by pressing the brake or clutch
pedal or on triggering of the ESP system
for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed
speed temporarily by pressing the ac-
celerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value. The controls of this system are grouped
together on stalk A

DRIVING
When the cruise control is
switched on, be careful if you
maintain the pressure on one of
the programmed speed chang-
ing buttons: this may result in a
very rapid change in the speed
of your vehicle.
Do not use the cruise control on
slippery roads or in heavy traffi c.
On a steep descent, the cruise
control will not be able to prevent
the vehicle from exceeding the
programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of
the pedals:
- ensure that the mat is posi-
tioned correctly,
- never fi t one mat on top of
another.
Programming
)
Turn thumb wheel 1
to the
"CRUISE"
position: the cruise
control mode is selected but is not
switched on (PAUSE).
)
Set the programmed speed by
accelerating to the required
speed, then press button 2
or 3
(e.g.: 70 mph (110 km/h)).
You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 2
and 3
:
- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press,
- by + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press,
- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.
Exceeding the programmed speed
Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the programmed
speed results in fl ashing of this speed in the screen.
Return to the programmed speed, by means of intentional
or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically
cancels the fl ashing of the speed.
Leaving cruise control mode
)
Turn thumb wheel 1
to the "0"
position: the cruise control
mode is deselected. The display returns to the distance
recorder.
)
Switch off the cruise control by pressing button 4
: the
screen confi rms that it has been switched off (PAUSE).
)
Switch the cruise control back on by pressing button 4
again.
Operating fault
In the event of a cruise control malfunc-
tion, the speed is cleared resulting in
fl ashing of the dashes. Have it checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
