The speed of the vehicle responds to
the pressure of the driver's foot, up
to the the accelerator pedal's point of
resistance, which indicates that the
programmed speed has been reached.
However, pressing the pedal beyond
this point of resistance to the floor
allows the programmed speed to be
exceeded. To resume use of the limiter,
simply reduce the pressure on the
accelerator pedal gradually and return
to a speed below that programmed.
Adjustments can be carried out
when stationary, with the engine
running, or with the vehicle moving.This speed limiter shows the function

Flashing of the speed setting
Good practice
In any event, the speed limiter cannot
replace the need to observe speed
limits, nor can it replace the need for
vigilance 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
.
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
accompanied by an audible signal.
To return to the limiter function, reduce
your speed to below the programmed
speed.
The speed setting 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. -
Place the switch in position
0 or
switch off the ignition to switch the
system off.
The last programmed speed remains in
the memory.

ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)
AND
DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (DSC)
These systems are linked and
complement the ABS.
The ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and
avoiding losses of control of the vehicle
on acceleration.
The system optimises drive to prevent
the wheels skidding, by acting on the
brakes of the drive wheels and on the
engine. It also allows the directional
stability of the vehicle to be improved
on acceleration.
Use the
d SC to hold your course
without attempting to countersteer.
If there is a variation between the
trajectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the
d SC
system automatically acts on the
engine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle back
on course.
Deactivation
In certain exceptional conditions
(starting the vehicle when stuck in mud
or snow, or on loose ground...), it could
prove useful to deactivate the
a
SR and
DSC systems to make the wheels spin
and regain grip.
Operating fault
Good practice
The ASR/DSC systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but
should not incite the driver to take risks
or to drive at high speed.
The operation of these systems is
ensured if the recommendations
of the manufacturer regarding
the wheels (tyres and rims), the
braking components, the electronic
components and the fitting and repair
procedures are observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Operation
The warning lamp flashes
when operation of the a SR or
DSC is triggered.
They engage again:
-
automatically above 30 mph
(50 km/h), When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the warning
lamp and the LED come on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen.
Contact a CITR
o Ë n dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the system
checked.
The warning lamp may also come on if
the tyres are under-inflated. Check the
pressure of each tyre.
-
Press the button or turn
the dial to the
d SC o FF
position (depending on
model).
-
The LED comes on: the
ASR and
DSC systems no longer come into
play.
-
manually by pressing the
button again or by turning
the dial to this position
(depending on model).

ACTIVE CITY BRAKE
Active City Brake is a driving
assistance system that aims to avoid
a frontal collision or reduce the speed
of an impact if the driver does not
react sufficiently (inadequate brake
application).
This system is designed to
improve driving safety.
It remains the driver's
responsibility to continuously
monitor the state of the traffic and
to assess the distances and relative
speeds of other vehicles.
Active City Brake can in no
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver. Never look at the laser sensor
through an optical instrument
(magnifying glass, microscope...)
at a distance of less than
10
centimetres: risk of eye injury.Principle
Using a laser sensor located at the top
of the windscreen, this system detects
a vehicle running in the same direction
or stationary ahead of your vehicle.
When necessary, the vehicle's braking
system is operated automatically
to avoid a collision with the vehicle
ahead.Automatic braking occurs later
than if done by the driver, so as
to intervene only when there is a
high risk of collision.
Conditions for activation
Active City Brake only operates if the
following conditions are met:
●
ignition on,
●
the vehicle is in a forward gear
,
●
speed is between about 3 and
18 mph (5 and 30 km/h),
●
the braking assistance systems
(ABS, EBFD, emergency braking
assistance) are not faulty
,
●
the trajectory control systems
(ASR, DSC) are not deactivated
or faulty,
●
the vehicle is not in a tight corner
,
●
the system has not been triggered
during the previous 10 seconds.
