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

he   vehicle   from   exceeding   the  
pro

grammed
 s
peed.
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  
a

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  
ped

als:
-  e nsure   that   the   mat   is   positioned  c
o r r e c t l y,
-
 
n
ever   fit   one   mat   on   top   of   another.
To
 
return   to   the   programmed   speed,   simply  
r

elease   the   accelerator   pedal.
Once the vehicle has returned to the
programmed   speed,   the   cruise   control   takes  
ov

er
 
again:   the   display   of   the   programmed  
s

peed
  setting   becomes   steady   again.You   may   have   to   brake   to   control   the   speed   of  
y

our   vehicle.   In   this   case,   the   cruise   control   is  
au

tomatically
 p
aused.
To   activate   the   system   again,   press   button   4

Before each use
Check that the towball is correctly fitted by verifying the following points:
-  t he   towball   is   correctly   locked   in   place   (position   A),
-
 
t
he   security   key   lock   is   on   and   the   key   removed;   the   locking   wheel   can   no   longer   be  
ope

rated,
-
 
t

During use
Never unlock the device when a trailer or load carrier is fitted to the towball.
N ever   exceed   the   maximum   authorised   weight   for   the   vehicle   plus   trailer   (Gross   Train  
W

Before
  driving,   check   the   adjustment   of   the   headlamp   beam   height.
For
  more   information   on   adjusting   the   headlamps,   refer   to   the   corresponding   section.
After use
For journeys made without a trailer or load carrier, the trailer harness socket must be folded away,   the   towball   removed   and    the   blanking   plug   inserted   in   the   carrier.   This   measure  
a

pplies   particularly   if   the   towball   could   hinder   visibility   of   the   number   plate   or   lighting.
