Temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed
When descending a steep hill, the cruise   control   system   cannot   prevent  
t

he   vehicle   from   exceeding   the  
pro

When
  required   (overtaking   manoeuvre...),   it   is  
p

ossible   to   exceed   the   programmed   speed   by  
p

ressing   the   accelerator   pedal.
The
 
cruise   control   is   temporarily   overridden

nd
 
the   programmed   speed   setting   flashes.
Only use the cruise control if the traffic
conditions will allow you to drive for a
certain   time   at   a   steady   speed   and   at   a  
s

afe   distance   from   the   vehicle   ahead.
Do not activate the cruise control in
urban   areas,   in   heavy   traffic,   on   winding  
o

r steep roads, on slippery or flooded
roads, or in conditions of poor visibility
(heavy   rain,   fog,   falling   snow...).
In   some   circumstances,   it   may   not  
b

e   possible   to   maintain   or   reach   the  
p

rogrammed   speed:   towing,   vehicle  
h

eavily   loaded,   steep   climb.
The   use   of   mats   not   approved   by  
C

ITROËN   may   inter fere   with   the  
o

peration   of   the   cruise   control.
To   avoid   any   risk   of   jamming   of   the
