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 man-
ually: a speed of at least 20 mph (ap-
prox. 30 km/h) must be programmed.
The speed limiter can in no way re-
place respect for speed limits or vigi-
lance and responsibility on the part
of the driver.
Steering mounted controls
The speed limiter switches are lo-
cated on the left-hand side of the
steering wheel.

displayed in zone A
, by pressing on:
)
Button 1
to increase the memo-
rised maximum speed.

DRIVING
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.

PARKING SPACE SENSOR
System which measures the park-
ing space available between two
vehicles or obstacles. It measures
the size of the space and gives you
information 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 spaces
which are clearly much smaller or larger
than the size of the vehicle.
Displays in the instrument
panel
The parking space sensor function
warning lamp can have three differ-
ent states:
- 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 measurement is ter-
minated.
- fl ashing:
measurement is in
progress or the message is be-
ing displayed.
You can select the "parking space sen-
sor" function by pressing button A. The
fi xed illumination 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

"HYDRACTIVE III +" ELECTRONIC SUSPENSION
The suspension automatically and
instantly adjusts to different driving
styles and to the profi le of the road,
providing the best compromise be-
tween occupant comfort and vehicle
road holding.
The system alternates between soft
and fi rm suspension settings, maxi-
mising comfort at the same time as
constantly ensuring the highest level
of safety. It also automatically cor-
rects ride height, according to the
vehicle load and driving conditions.
In addition, the "Hydractive III +" sys-
tem allows you to choose between
two modes of suspension.
A change of suspension mode can
be made either when the vehicle is
moving or when stationary, by press-
ing button A
.
Display in the instrument
panel
The suspension mode selected is
displayed in the instrument panel
screen.
Normal mode
This mode favours soft
damping for maximum com-
fort.
If the speed authorised for a
particular position is exceed-
ed, the vehicle reverts automatically
to the normal road position.
SPORT mode
This mode favours dynamic
driving.
The warning lamp on button A
comes on in addition to the mes-
sage in the instrument panel
screen.
SPORT
mode is retained when you
switch off the engine.
Vehicle positions
Position changes may only be
made when the engine is running.
The adjustable ground clearance
meets all types of situation. Apart
from a few specifi c situations, the
vehicle should be in the Normal po-
sition.
)
Press once on one of the adjust-
ment controls.

Request not granted
The instrument panel screen tempo-
rarily displays a message indicating
that this position is not authorised.
The vehicle remains in the authorised
position and the instrument panel
screen indicates this position to you.
Automatic variation of ground clear-
ance
-
If your speed exceeds 70 mph (ap-
prox. 110 km/h), on a good road sur-
face, ground clearance is lowered.
The vehicle returns to its normal
position if the road surface deterio-
rates or if your speed is lower than
55 mph (approx. 90 km/h).
- At low or medium speed, if the
road surface is poor, ground
clearance is increased. The ve-
hicle returns to its normal posi-
tion as soon as conditions allow.
- On switching off the ignition, the
ground clearance is reduced to
the parking position.
For your safety if you are operating
underneath the vehicle, you must
support the vehicle with axle stands.
Normal position
If the speed authorised for a particu-
lar position is exceeded, the vehicle
reverts automatically to the normal
position.
Low position
To facilitate loading or unloading the
vehicle.
For workshop inspections.
Not to be used in normal driving (not
possible if speed > 6mph (10 km/h)).
High position
Changing a wheel (not possible if
speed > 6mph (10 km/h)).
Mid-high position
For increased ground clearance (not
possible if speed > 25 mph (40 km/h)).
For use on diffi cult roads when trav-
elling at reduced speed, as well as
on car park ramps.
