Speed limiter
Steering mounted controls
The speed limiter switches are located on the
left-hand side of the steering wheel.
Displays in the instrument panel
The speed limiter information is displayed in
zone A of the instrument panel.
System which prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by the
driver.
When the limit speed is reached, the
accelerator pedal no longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched on manually: a
speed of at least 20 mph (approx. 30 km/h)
must be programmed.
The speed limiter can in no circumstances
replace keeping to speed limits or the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.

Cruise control
Displays in the instrument panel
The programmed information is grouped
together in zone A of the instrument panel.
Steering mounted controls
The cruise control switches are located on the
left-hand side of the steering wheel.
System which automatically maintains the
vehicle speed programmed by the driver,
without any action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on manually:
the

vehicle speed must be at least 25 mph
(40 km/h) and you must be in at least:
-

4

th gear for a manual gearbox,
-

2

nd gear for an electronic or automatic
gearbox.

Request not granted
The instrument panel screen temporarily displays a
message indicating that this position is not authorised.
The vehicle remains in the authorised position and the
instrument panel screen indicates this position to you.
Automatic variation of ground clearance
- If your speed exceeds 70 mph (approx.
110 km/h), on a good road sur face, ground
clearance is lowered. The vehicle returns
to its normal position if the road sur face
deteriorates or if your speed is lower than
55 mph (approx. 90 km/h).
-
A

t low or medium speed, if the road sur face
is poor, ground clearance is increased. The
vehicle returns to its normal position as
soon as conditions allow.
-
O

n switching off the ignition, the ground
clearance is reduced to the parking position
Normal position
If the speed authorised for a particular position
is exceeded, the vehicle reverts automatically
to the normal position.
Low position
To facilitate loading or unloading the vehicle.
For workshop inspections.
Not to be used in normal driving (not possible
if speed > 6mph (10
km/h)).
High position
Changing a wheel (not possible if speed >
6 mph (10 km/h)).
Mid-high position
For increased ground clearance (not possible
if speed > 25 mph (40 km/h)).
For use on difficult roads when travelling at
reduced speed, as well as on car park ramps.
For your safety if you are operating
underneath the vehicle, you must
suppor t the vehicle with axle stands.

Braking assistance systems
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking,
in particular on poor or slippery sur faces.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk of
wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself
felt by slight vibration of the brake pedal.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the instrument
panel screen, it indicates a fault with
the anti-lock braking system which could result
in loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the STOP and ABS
warning lamps, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
instrument panel screen, it indicates a fault with
the electronic brake force distribution which
could result in loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Emergency braking
assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you
to obtain the optimum braking pressure more
quickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake
pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency.
Group of supplementary systems which help
you to obtain optimum braking in complete
safety in emergency situations:
-

a

nti-lock braking system (ABS),
-

e

lectronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-

e

mergency braking assistance (EBA).
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.When braking in an emergency, press
firmly without releasing the pressure.
When braking in an emergency,
press very firmly without releasing
the

pressure.

Trajectory control systems
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Activation
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Your vehicle has a system to improve traction
on snow: intelligent traction control
.
This system detects situations of low adhesion
that might make moving off and progress
difficult on deep fresh snow or compacted
snow.
In these situations the intelligent traction
control system regulates the amount of wheel
slip to optimise the traction and trajectory
control of your vehicle.
For vehicles with Hydractive III + suspension,
manual adjustment of ground clearance to
the intermediate position improves further the
ability to make progress in deep snow (see the
relevant paragraph).
The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on sur faces with low adhesion.
The anti-slip regulation (also known as traction
control) optimises traction to prevent skidding
of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the
driving wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability control acts on the
brake of one or more wheels and on the engine
to keep the vehicle on the trajectory required
by the driver, within the limits of the laws of
physics.
Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem.

Reactivation
Operating fault
Illumination of this warning lamp and
the lamp in the deactivation button,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, indicate a fault with
the system.
Deactivation
Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of
grip permits.F

P
ress this button.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The indicator lamp in the button comes on.
The DSC and ASR systems no longer act
on the operation of the engine and on the
brakes in the event of a involuntary change of
trajectory.
F

P
ress this button again.
The systems are reactivated automatically each
time the ignition is switched back on or from
30
mph (50 km/h).
Below 30 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate
them manually:
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the DSC and ASR, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip.
