Speed limiter (VTi 68 engine)
System which prevents the vehicle from exceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
T he   speed   limiter   is   switched on
 m
anually:
 t

his   can   be   done   whatever   the   speed   of   the  
v

ehicle.   However,   if   you   are   driving   at   less   than  
2

0   mph   (30   km/h),   the   programmed   speed   will  
b

e   fixed   at   20   mph   (30   km/h).
The
  speed   limiter   is   paused by operation of the
control.
The
  programmed   speed   can   be   exceeded  
t

emporarily   by   pressing   the   accelerator   firmly  
b

eyond   the   point   of   resistance.
To
  return   to   the   programmed   speed,   simply  
r

elease   the   accelerator   pedal   until   the   vehicle  
r

eturns   to   the   programmed   speed   limit.
The
  programmed   limit   speed   is   erased  
w

hen   switching   off   the   ignition.
Steering mounted controls
The controls are grouped together on this control   stalk   at   the   steering   wheel.

 v

igilance   on   the   part   of   the   driver.
If you choose to display other information (trip  A
  for   example),   the   speed   limiter

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  
3

0 mph   (50   km/h)).
This
  system   is   particularly   suitable   for   motor ways   and   dual   carriageways.
The
  lane   departure   warning   system  
c

annot   in   any   circumstances   replace  
t

he   need   for   vigilance   on   the   part   of   the  
d

river.
It
  is   necessary   to   observe   driving  
r

egulations   and   take   a   break   every  
two
  hours.
Activation
F Press  this   button,   located   on   the   steering  w
heel.
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  
i

ndicators   are   on   and   for   around  
20
  seconds   after   they   stop   flashing.

Reinitialisation
Before reinitialising the system, ensure t hat the pressures of the four tyres are
correct
  for   the   use   of   the   vehicle   and   in  
l

ine   with   the   recommendations   on   the  
t

yre   pressure   label.
The
  under-inflation   alert   can   only   be  
r

elied   on   if   the   reinitialisation   of   the  
s

ystem   has   done   with   the   pressures   in  
t

he   four   tyres   correctly   adjusted.
The
  under-inflation   detection   system  
d

i

ncorrect   at   the   time   of   reinitialisation.

Never leave accumulations of snow or any   object   projecting   above   the   bonnet

t

he   field   of   vision   of   the   sensor   and

enerate   a   detection.
Operating limits
The system  o nly  d etects  v ehicles  (cars,  lorries) t
hat   are   stationary   or   moving   in   the   same  
d

irection   as   your   vehicle. In
  difficult   weather   conditions   (very  
h

eavy   rain,   snow,   fog,   hail...),   braking  
d

istances   increase,   which   can   reduce  
t

he   ability   of   the   system   to   avoid   a  
c

ollision.
The
  driver   must   therefore   remain  
par

ticularly
 v
igilant.
The
  system   is   not   triggered   or   is   interrupted   if  
t

he

-
 
a
ccelerates   strongly   (even   if   the   speed  
l

imiter   is   on),

(

avoiding

Detection
  capability   is   less   effective   if:
-
 
y
ou   are   driving   on   roads   with   pronounced  
b

ends   and/or   on   roads   in   poor   condition,
-
 
y
our   vehicle   is   excessively   loaded,   as  
t

his   changes   the   horizontal   attitude   of   the  
v

ehicle.

It
  does   not   detect   small   vehicles  
(

bicycles,   motorcycles),   pedestrians   or  
a

nimals,   nor   non-reflective   stationary  
ob

jects.Unwanted triggering of the system
It is possible for the system to detect a risk of imminent   collision   and   start   working,   in   the

Sit in a normal upright position.
W ear   a   correctly   adjusted   seat   belt.
Do
  not   leave   anything   between   the  
o

ccupants   and   the   airbags   (a   child,   pet,  
o

bject...),   nor   fix   or   attach   anything   close   to  
t

he   inflation   trajectory   of   the   airbags;   this  
c

ould   cause   injuries   during   their   deployment.
Never
  modify   the   original   definition   of   your  
v

ehicle,   particularly   in   the   area   directly  
a

round   the   airbags.
After
  an   accident   or   if   the   vehicle   has   been  
s

tolen   or   broken   into,   have   the   airbag  
s

ystems   checked.
All
  work   on   the   airbag   system   must   be  
c

arried   out   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w
orkshop.
Even
  if   all   of   the   precautions   mentioned  
a

re   observed,   a   risk   of   injury   or   of   minor  
b

urns   to   the   head,   chest   or   arms   when   an  
a

irbag   is   deployed   cannot   be   ruled   out.   The  
b

ag   inflates   almost   instantly   (within   a   few  
m

illiseconds)   then   deflates   within   the   same  
t

ime   discharging   the   hot   gas   via   openings  
p

rovided   for   this   purpose.Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes   or   resting   your   hands   on   the   centre  
p

art   of   the   wheel.
Passengers
  must   not   place   their   feet   on   the  
das

hboard.
Do
  not   smoke   as   deployment   of   the   airbags  
c

an   cause   burns   or   the   risk   of   injury   from   a  
c

igarette   or   pipe.
Never
 

remove
 
or

the
 
steering
 
wheel
 
or
 h

it   it   violently.
Do
  not   fit   or   attach   anything   to   the   steering  
w

heel   or   dashboard,   this   could   cause  
i

njuries   with   deployment   of   the   airbags.
Advice
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats, compatible   with   the   deployment   the   lateral  
a

irbags.   For   information   on   the   range   of   seat  
c

overs suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact
  a   CITROËN dealer.
For
  more   information   on   accessories,   refer  
t

o   the   corresponding   section.
Do
  not   fix   or   attach   anything   to   the   seat  
b

acks   (clothing...).   This   could   cause   injury  
t

o   the   chest   or   arms   if   the   lateral   airbag   is  
d

eployed.
Do
  not   sit   with   the   upper   part   of   the   body   any  
n

earer   to   the   door   than   necessary.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This could   cause   injury   to   the   head   if   the   curtain  
a

irbag   is   deployed.
If
  fitted   on   your   vehicle,   do   not   remove   the  
g

rab   handles   installed   on   the   roof,   they   play  
a

  part   in   securing   the   curtain   airbags.
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the safety recommendations below:
