Speed limiter (VTi 68 engine)
System which prevents the vehicle from exceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
The speed limiter is switched on manually:
this can be done whatever the speed of the
vehicle. However, if you are driving at less than
20 mph (30 km/h), the programmed speed will
be fixed at 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is paused by operation of the
control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly
beyond the point of resistance.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal until the vehicle
returns to the programmed speed limit.
The programmed limit speed is erased
when switching off the ignition.
Steering mounted controls
The controls are grouped together on this
control stalk at the steering wheel.

The speed limiter cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to

need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
If you choose to display other information
(trip A for example), the speed limiter
information is automatically displayed again
after about 6
seconds.

speed limiter disappears.
Operating fault
Illumination of this warning lamp in
the instrument panel indicates a fault
with the speed limiter.
The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with the
operation of the speed limiter.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:
-

e
nsure that the mat is secured
c o r r e c t l y,
-

d
o not fit one mat on top of another.
Temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed
F Press f irmly on the accelerator pedal,
going beyond the point of resistance ,
to
exceed the programmed speed limit.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the displayed programmed speed flashes. Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
An audible signal accompanies the
flashing of the programmed speed
when exceeding the speed is not due to
an action by the driver (steep hill...).
As soon as the vehicle's speed returns to the
programmed value, the limiter operates again:
the display of the programmed speed becomes
steady again.

Reversing camera
The reversing camera is activated automatically when reverse gear is engaged.The reversing camera cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for the
vigilance on the part of the driver. The image is provided in the touch screen
only, with an indication of the limit of the rear
bumpers (red line) and the general direction of
the vehicle (blue lines).
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.
The field of vision covered by the camera is
limited: objects in the immediate proximity of
the bumper or located below it are not visible.
The camera's wide-angle lens deforms the
image presented in the screen: the distances
visible in the screen may be different from
the true distances. This deformation varies
according to the loading of the vehicle and the
slope of the road.
High pressure jet washing
When washing your vehicle, do not
direct the lance within 30 cm of the
camera lens. Never reverse the vehicle looking only
at the screen.
Driving

91
Lane departure warning system
System which detects the unintended crossing of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the ground, using a camera that recognises both solid and
broken lines.
To improve your safety, the camera analyses the image and then triggers a warning if the vehicle wanders over a lane marking (speed higher than
30 mph (50 km/h)).
This system is particularly suitable for motor ways and dual carriageways.
The lane departure warning system
cannot in any circumstances replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
It is necessary to observe driving
regulations and take a break every
two
hours.
Activation
F Press this button, located on the steering wheel.
Detection
You are alerted by an audible signal and the
display of a warning lamp in the instrument
panel.
No alert is given if the direction
indicators are on and for around
20
seconds after they stop flashing.

are designed to adapt the driver's visibility
progressively according to the ambient light
level and weather:
-
s
idelamps, to be seen,
-

d
ipped beam headlamps to see without
dazzling other drivers,
-

the road is clear.
Additional lighting
Other lamps are provided to meet the
requirements of particular driving conditions:
-

a r
ear foglamp,
-

d
aytime running lamps to be more visible
during the day. In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.Travelling abroad
If using your vehicle in a country that
drives on the other side of the road, the
