CRUISE CONTROL "CRUISE"

In order for it to be programmed or
activated, the vehicle speed must be
greater than 25 mph (40 km/h) with at
least 4th gear engaged. This cruise control shows the function
selection status in the instrument panel
and displays the programmed speed:
Function selected,
display of the "Cruise
Control" symbol.
Function deactivated,

OFF
(example at
65 mph (107 km/h)).
Function activated
(example at 65 mph
(107 km/h)).
Vehicle speed above
(e.g. 73 mph
(118 km/h)),
the programmed
speed is displayed
fl ashing.
Operating fault
detected,

OFF
- the dashes
fl ash. "This is the speed at which the driver
wishes to drive".
This aid to driving in free-fl owing
traffi c enables the vehicle to maintain
the speed programmed by the driver,
unless a steep gradient makes this
impossible.

Steering mounted controls



Selecting the function



- Place the switch in the CRUISE

position. The cruise control is
selected but is not yet active and
no speed has been programmed.



First activation/
programming a
speed


- Reach the chosen
speed by pressing
the accelerator.

Temporarily exceeding the
speed
It is possible to accelerate
and drive
momentarily at a speed greater than
the programmed speed. The value
programmed fl ashes.
When the accelerator pedal is
released, the vehicle will return to the
programmed speed.


Deactivation (off)



- Press this button or
the brake or clutch
pedal.



Reactivation



- Following deactivation of the cruise
control, press this button.
Your vehicle will return to the last
programmed speed.
Alternatively, you can repeat the "fi rst
activation" procedure.

- Press the SET -
or SET +
button.
This programmes/activates the
reference speed and the vehicle will
maintain this speed.

Changing the
programmed speed
There are two methods
of memorising a
speed higher than the
previous one:

Switching the function off

Operating fault

The programmed speed is cleared then
replaced by three dashes. Contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop to have the system checked.


Cancelling the programmed
reference speed
When the vehicle becomes stationary,
after switching off the ignition, the
system no longer memorises a speed. Without using the accelerator:


- press the Set +
button.
A brief press increases the speed by
1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press increases the
speed in steps of 5 mph (km/h).
Using the accelerator:


- exceed the memorised speed until
the speed required is reached,

- press the Set +
or Set -
button.
To memorise a speed lower than the
previous one:


- press the Set -
button.
A brief press decreases the speed by
1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press decreases the
speed in steps of 5 mph (km/h).

- Place the dial in position 0
or switch
off the ignition to switch everything
off.



Good practice

When changing the programmed
reference speed by means of a
maintained press, pay attention as
the speed can increase or decrease
rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on
slippery roads or in heavy traffi c.
In the event of a steep slope, the cruise
control cannot prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
In any event, the cruise control cannot
replace the need to observe the speed
limits, nor can it replace the need for
vigilance and responsibility on the part
of the driver.
It is advisable to leave your feet near
the pedals.
To avoid any jamming under the
pedals:


- ensure that the mat and its fi xings
on the fl oor are positioned correctly,

- never place one mat on top of
another.

Steering mounted controls

However, pressing the pedal beyond
this point of resistance to the fl oor
allows the programmed speed to be
exceeded. To resume use of the limiter,
simply reduce the pressure on the
accelerator pedal gradually and return
to a speed below that programmed.

The operating actions may be
carried out when stationary, with the
engine running, or with the vehicle
moving.
This speed limiter shows the function
selection status in the instrument panel
and displays the programmed speed:
SPEED LIMITER "LIMIT"

Function selected,
displaying of the
"Speed Limiter"
symbol.
Function deactivated,
last programmed
speed - OFF
(example at 65 mph (107 km/h)).

Function activated

(example at 65 mph (107 km/h)).

Vehicle speed above
(example 70 mph
(118 km/h)),
the programmed
speed is displayed
fl ashing.
Operating fault
detected,

OFF
- the dashes
fl ash. "This is the selected speed which the
driver does not wish to exceed".
This selection is made with the engine
running while stationary or with the
vehicle moving. The minimum speed
which can be programmed is 20 mph
(30 km/h).
The speed of the vehicle responds
to the pressure of the driver's foot as
far as the accelerator pedal point of
resistance which indicates that the
programmed speed has been reached.

Selecting the function



- Place the switch in the LIMIT

position. The limiter is selected
but is not yet active. The screen
indicates the last programmed
speed.



Programming a speed

A speed can be programmed without
activating the limiter but with the
engine running.
To memorise a speed higher than the
previous one:


- press the Set +
button.
A brief press increases the speed by
1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press increases the
speed in steps of 5 mph (km/h).
To memorise a speed lower than the
previous one:


- press the Set -
button.
A brief press decreases the speed by
1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press decreases the
speed in steps of 5 mph (km/h).


Activation/Deactivation (off)

Pressing this button once activates
the limiter, pressing the button again
deactivates it (OFF).

Exceeding the programmed
speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal in order
to exceed the programmed speed
will have no effect unless you press
the pedal fi rmly
beyond the point of
resistance
.
The limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the programmed speed fl ashes.
To return to the limiter function, reduce
your speed to below the programmed
speed.


Switching the function off



- Place the switch in position 0
or
switch off the ignition to switch the
system off.
The last programmed speed remains in
the memory.


Operating fault

The programmed speed is cleared
then replaced by three dashes.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop to have the system
checked.

Good practice



Flashing of the speed

The speed fl ashes:


- following forcing of the accelerator
point of resistance,

- when the limiter cannot prevent an
increase in the vehicle speed due
to the profi le of the road or on a
steep descent,

- in the event of sharp acceleration.
In any event, the speed limiter cannot
replace the need to observe speed
limits, nor can it replace the need for
vigilance and responsibility on the part
of the driver.
Always pay attention to the profi le
of the road and sharp acceleration
and stay in complete control of your
vehicle.
To avoid any jamming under the
pedals:


- ensure that the mat and its fi xings
on the fl oor are positioned correctly,

- never place one mat on top of
another.

The LED in the button is
off. This is the preferred
operating position.
Pressing the button starts
the air conditioning system,
the LED is on. Pressing the
button again switches the
function off and the LED goes
off.
The air conditioning does not operate if
the fan speed is set to 0. The air conditioning can only operate
with the engine running.
The LED in the button is on.
Recirculation temporarily
prevents exterior odours
and smoke from entering the
passenger compartment.
Used with the setting of the fan speed
(from 1 to 4), recirculation enables you
to attain the desired comfort level more
quickly with both hot or cold settings.
This position should only be temporary.
When your desired comfort level has
been reached, return to the intake
of exterior air position to permit
renewal of the air in the passenger
compartment and avoid misting. This is
the preferred operating mode.
