of the gears by the gearbox, without anyaction on the par t of the driver
- manualmode for sequential gear changingby the driver using the gear lever or the
steering mounted paddles.
In automated mode, you can temporarily take
over control of gear changing.

The speed limiter is switched onmanually:
it requires a programmed speed of at least
20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off by manual foperation of the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly.To return to the programmed speed, simply slow down to a speed below the programmed speed.
The pro
grammed speed remains in the memorywhen 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 responsibilityon the par t of the driver.
System which prevents the vehicle fromexceeding the speed programmed by the driver.

Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed speed will not have
an
y effect unless you press the pedal firmlypast the ypoint of resistance. e The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the programmed speed,
which is still displayed, flashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or unintentional
deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing 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 flashing of the dashes.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
)Set the speed value by pressing button 2or 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) = shor t 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 confirms that it has been switched off (PAUS E). )Switch the speed limiter back on by pressing button 4
again.
On a steep descent or in the event of sharp acceleration, the speed limiter willnot be able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed.
