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

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.
Exceeding the programmed speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal in order to
exceed the programmed speed will have
no effect unless you press the pedal firmly
beyond the point of resistance .
The limiter is deactivated temporarily and
the programmed speed flashes.
Good practice
Operating fault
The programmed speed is cleared then
replaced by three dashes.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Flashing of the speed
The speed flashes:
- following forcing of the accelerator point of resistance,
- when the limiter cannot prevent an increase in the vehicle speed due to the
profile of the road or on a steep descent,
- in the event of sharp acceleration. To return to the limiter function, reduce your
speed to below the programmed speed. 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 profile 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 fixings on the
floor are positioned correctly,
- never place one mat on top of another.

For optimum operation of the manual system, the settings below are recom\

the preferred operating position.

Recirculation temporarily prevents
exterior odours and smoke
from entering the passenger

Used with the air conditioning switched
on and setting of the force of blown air
(from 1 to 4), recirculation enables you to
obtain the required ambient air comfort level
more quickly with both hot or cold settings.
This position should only be temporary.
When your ambient air 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.

DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING WITH SEPARATE SETTINGS
Good practice
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible to exceed
the value 15 by turning until LO is displayed or
the value 27 by turning until HI is displayed.
For optimum comfort, the difference between
the value displayed for the driver and for the
passenger should not be greater than 3.
If your vehicle is fitted with this control
panel, it is located on the centre console.
On entering the vehicle, the inside
temperature may be much colder (or
warmer) than is comfortable. There is no
advantage in changing the value displayed
in order to quickly reach the level of comfort
required. The system will use its maximum
performance to reach the comfort value set.

Driver or passenger side comfort value
The value indicated on the display corresponds
to a level of comfort and not a temperature in
degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. Automatic operation Do not cover the sunshine sensor,
located on the windscreen behind the
mirror, it is used for regulation of the air
conditioning.
AUTO comfort programme
This is the normal air conditioning system
operating mode.
Press this button, the AUTO
symbol is displayed.
Depending on the comfort value selected,
the system controls the distribution,
the fl ow and the intake of air to guarantee comfort
and a suffi cient circulation of air in the passenger
compartment. No further action on your part is required.
When the engine is cold, to prevent an excessive
diffusion of cold air, the ventilation will reach its
optimum level gradually.
For your comfort, the settings are stored when the
ignition is switched off and are reinstated the next
time the vehicle is started, if the temperature in the
passenger compartment has not changed signifi cantly;
otherwise, operation resumes in automatic mode.
Turn this control to the left or to
the right to decrease or increase
the value. A setting around the
value 21 provides optimum
comfort. However, depending on your
requirements, a setting between 18 and 24
is usual.

Recirculation of interior air
Press this button to recirculate

condensation, odour and humidity).
Pressing this button again activates the

CORRECT USE OF THE VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING
Vents
"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot
or cool air in the passenger compartment,
there are adjustable central and side vents
which can be directed sideways (right or
left) towards the top of the body. For your
comfort while driving, do not close them,
direct the flow of air towards the windows
instead.
The air vents directed towards the floor of
the vehicle complete the equipment.
Passenger compartment filter, carbon filter
Ensure that this fi lter is in good condition and
have all of the fi lter elements replaced regularly.
Refer to the "Checks" section of
chapter 6.
Air conditioning
In all seasons, the air conditioning should
only be used with the windows closed.
However, if the interior temperature remains
high after a prolonged period parked
in the sun, first ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few minutes. Use the AUTO mode as much as
possible as it permits optimised control
of all of the functions: air flow, passenger
compartment comfort temperature,
air distribution, air intake mode or air
recirculation in the passenger compartment.
Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to
10 minutes, once or twice a month, to keep
it in perfect working order.
It is normal that the condensation created by
the air conditioning system results in a flow
of water which may form a puddle under the
vehicle when parked.
If the system does not produce cold air, do
not use it and contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
