Exceeding the programmed speed
Exiting the speed limiter mode
Operating fault
On a steep descent or in the event of sharp acceleration, the speed limiter 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 positioned c o r r e c t l y, - do not fit one mat on top of another.
 Switch the speed limiter back on by pressing button 4 again.
You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 2 and 3 : - by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press, - in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press. If speed memorisation is available and activated on your vehicle, the programmed speed will stop at the closest memorised speed; refer to the corresponding section.
 Turn dial 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 2or 3 (e.g.: 55 mph (90 km/h)).
 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 (Pause).
Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed speed will not have any effect unless you press the pedal firmly past the firmly past the firmlypoint of resistance . 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.
 Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the speed limiter mode is deselected. It disappears from the screen.
In the event of a fault with the speed limiter, the speed is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes. Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

The cruise control system 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. You are advised to keep your feet near the pedals
at all times.

Cruise control
The functions of this system are grouped together on the steering mounted controls. 1. Cruise control mode selection dial. 2. Speed programming / value decrease button. 3. Speed programming / value increase
button. 4. Cruise control off / resume button. 5. Stored speeds display button.
Steering mounted controls
The programmed information is grouped together in the instrument panel screen. 6. Cruise control off / resume indication. 7. Cruise control mode selection indication. 8. Programmed speed value. 9. Selecting a stored speed.
Displays in the instrument panel System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.
This information also appears in the head-up display. For more information, refer to the "Head-up display" section.
Operation
The cruise control is switched on manually: it requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the engagement of second gear with sequential gear changing (position M ). The cruise control is switched off manually or switched off manually or switched offby pressing the brake pedal or on triggering of the "electronic stability programme" system for safety reasons. It is possible to exceed the programmed speed temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal. To return to the programmed speed, simply release the accelerator pedal. Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value.
For more information on the list of memorised speeds, refer to the "Memorising speeds" section.

When the cruise control is switched on, be careful if you maintain the pressure on one of the programmed speed changing 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 traffic. On a steep descent, the cruise control will not be able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed. On steep climbs or when towing, the programmed speed may not be reached or maintained. To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals: - ensure that the mat is positioned c o r r e c t l y, - never fit one mat on top of another.
 Turn dial 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)); the cruise control system is activated (ON).
Exceeding the programmed speed
Exiting cruise control mode
 Switch on the cruise control again with another press on button 4 .
Operating fault
You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 2 and 3 : - by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press, - in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press. If storing speeds is available and activated on your vehicle, the programmed speed will stop at the closest stored speed; refer to the corresponding section.
Programming
 Stop the cruise control system by pressing button 4 : this is confirmed in the screen (Pause).
Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the programmed speed results in flashing of this speed in the screen. Return to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing of the speed.
 Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the cruise control mode is deselected. It disappears from the screen.
In the event of a cruise control malfunction, the speed is cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes. Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

This system indicates the proximity of an obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) which comes within the field of detection of sensors located in the bumper. Certain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks cone, etc.) detected initially will no longer be detected at the end of the manoeuvre due to the presence of blind spots.

Parking sensors
This function cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
Rear parking
sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse gear. This is accompanied by an audible signal. The system is switched off when you come out of reverse gear.
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle. The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle becomes less than approximately thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes continuous.
Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal by displaying bars in the multifunction screen
which move progressively nearer to the vehicle. When the obstacle is near, the "Danger" symbol is displayed in the screen.

155Driving
In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is engaged, an audible signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors may be dirty. Certain sound sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger the audible signals of the parking sensor system.
In the event of a malfunction of the system, when reverse gear is engaged this warning lamp is displayed in the instrument panel and/or a message appears in the screen, accompanied by an audible signal (short beep). Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Operating fault
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front parking sensors are triggered when an obstacle is detected in front and the speed of the vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h). The front parking sensors are interrupted if the vehicle stops for more than three seconds in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are detected or when the speed of the vehicle exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
Front parking sensors
The function will be deactivated automatically if a trailer is being towed or a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by CITROËN).
Deactivation / Activation of the front and rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this button. The indicator lamp in the button comes on. Pressing this button again reactivates the
function. The indicator lamp in the button goes off.
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) indicates whether the obstacle is in front or behind.

Reversing camera
A reversing camera is activated automatically when reverse gear is engaged. The colour image is provided in the navigation screen.
The green lines represent the general direction of the vehicle. The red lines represent around 30 cm beyond the limit of your vehicle's rear bumper. The audible signal becomes continuous from this limit. The blue lines represent the maximum turning circle.
Clean the reversing camera regularly using a sponge and a soft cloth. When cleaning the vehicle with a high pressure jet wash, keep the end of the lance at least 30 cm from the camera.
This system is a driving aid that does not
replace the vigilance or the responsibility of the driver, who must remain in control of the vehicle at all times.
