Cruise control
System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the value programmed
b
y the driver, without any action on the
a
ccelerator
ped
al.
The cruise control is switched on
m
anually:
it r
equires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(
40 km/h), as well as the engagement of:
-
f
ourth gear on a manual gearbox,
-
s
econd gear on a or automatic or electronic
g
earbox, in sequential mode,
-
p
osition A on an electronic gearbox or
p
osition d on an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off
m
anually
o
r by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on
t
riggering of the trajectory control systems for
s
afety reasons.
It
is possible to exceed the programmed speed
t
emporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
To
return to the programmed speed, simply
r
elease the accelerator pedal.
Switching
off the ignition cancels any
p
rogrammed speed value. The
controls of this system are grouped

Exceeding the programmed speed
Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the programmed speed results in flashing of this speed in the screen.
Return
to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or unintentional
d
eceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing of the speed.
Leaving cruise control mode
F Turn thumb wheel 1 to the "0" position: the cruise control mode is d
eselected. The display returns to the distance recorder.
Operating fault
In the event of a cruise control malfunction, the speed is cleared resulting in flashing of the
d
ashes. Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer
o
r a qualified workshop.
When
the cruise control is switched on,
b
e careful if you maintain the pressure
o
n one of the programmed speed
c
hanging buttons: this may result in a
v
ery rapid change in the speed of your
v
ehicle.
Do
not use the cruise control on
s
lippery roads or in heavy traffic.
On
a steep descent, the cruise control
w
ill not be able to prevent the vehicle
from
exceeding the programmed
s
peed.
To
avoid any risk of jamming of the

als:
-

Reinitialisation
It is necessary to reinitialise the system every time one or more tyre pressure is adjusted, and
a

A
label on the middle pillar, left hand side, gives
a
reminder of this.
Safety
Reinitialisation of the system is done in the vehicle configuration menu, with the vehicle stationary and the ignition on.

The system does not have to be r
einitialised after fitting or removing
sn
ow
c
hains. Before
doing anything to the system,
t
he pressures of the four tyres must be c
hecked and the system reinitialised.
The under-inflation alert is only
d
ependable if the system has been
r
einitialised with all four tyres inflated to
t
he correct pressures.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the u
nder-inflation w arning lam p a ccompanied b
y illumination of the Service warning lamp
i
ndicates a fault with the system.
In
this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
t
yres is no longer assured.
Have
the system checked by a CITROËN
d
ealer or a qualified workshop.
Safety
Operation
When your vehicle is too close to or
approaches the vehicle ahead too quickly the
s
ystem automatically applies the brakes to
a
void a collision.
The
collision can be avoided automatically if the
d
ifference in speed between your vehicle and the
v
ehicle ahead does not exceed 9 mph (15 km/h).
Above
this threshold, the system will do what
i
s possible to avoid or reduce the accident by
l
owering the speed of impact.
The
automatic braking may bring the vehicle to
a
complete stop if the situation requires it.
In
this case, the vehicle is held stationary
t
emporarily (for about 1.5 seconds) to allow
t
he driver to take back control by pressing the
b
rake
ped
al.
You
are then alerted by the display of a
m
essage.
The
brake lamps on your vehicle come on to
w
arn other road users.
After
an impact, the system is
a
utomatically put out of service: it no
lon
ger
ope
rates.
You
must go to a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified workshop to have the system
m
ade operational again.
During
automatic braking, the driver
c
an always obtain a higher rate of
d
eceleration than that controlled by the
s
ystem, by pressing firmly on the brake
ped
al.
The
triggering of the system may cause
t
he engine to stall, unless the driver
d
epresses the clutch pedal quickly
e
nough during automatic braking.
deactivation
The system is deactivated in the vehicle configuration menu, accessible with the ignition
o
n.
Its
state is memorised when the ignition is
s
witched off. When
the system is deactivated, a
m
essage is displayed every time the
i
gnition is switched on, to warn you.
