speed higher than the previous one:
Switching the function off
- Place the ring in the
OFF position or switch
off the ignition to switch
everything off.
Cancelling the programmed speed
When the vehicle becomes stationary, after
switching off the ignition, the system no
longer memorises a speed.
Operating fault
In the event of an operating fault, turn the
ring to the OFF position and contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Good practice
When changing the programmed speed by
means of a maintained press, pay attention
as the speed can increase or decrease
rapidly.
d

o not use the cruise control on slippery
roads or in heavy traffic.
Never engage neutral while the system is
operating.
In the event of a steep slope, the cruise
control cannot prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
In any event, the cruise control cannot
replace the need to observe the speed limits,
nor can it replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the driver.
It is advisable to leave your feet near the
pedals.
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
.
Without using the accelerator:
-

move the control up

Each brief press increases
the speed by 1 mph (km/h).
Using the accelerator:
-
exceed the memorised speed until the

speed required is reached,
-

move the control up

(+) for at least one
second, then release it.
To memorise a speed lower
than the previous one:
-

move the control


down
