Cruise control - "CRUISE"
System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control system cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to observe speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Y ou   are   advised   to   keep   your   feet   near   the   pedals   at   all   times.
Switching on the cruise control requires a
minimum   vehicle   speed   of   25   mph   (40   km/h).
As
  well   as   engagement   of:
-
 
f
ourth   gear   or   higher   on   a   manual   gearbox,
-

p
osition   D   on   an   automatic   gearbox.
The
  system   remains   active   after   changing   gear  
o

n   vehicles   with   a   manual   gearbox   and  
Stop
  &   Start.
The cruise control is paused
 

by   pressing  
b

utton 4   or   the   brake   pedal   or   on   triggering   of  
t

he   ESC   system   for   safety   reasons.
It
  is   possible   to   exceed   the   programmed   speed  
t

emporarily   by   pressing   the   accelerator   pedal.
To
  return   to   the   programmed   speed,   simply

Have
  it   checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

orkshop.
Operating faultWhen the cruise control is switched on, be   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
slippery
  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   speed.
On
  steep   climbs   or   when   towing,   the

To
  avoid   any   risk   of   jamming   of   the  
ped

als:

Dynamic cruise control
System that allows, in addition to maintaining your vehicle's speed at a value that you have defined, the inter-vehicle time you have selected between your   vehicle   and   the   one   in   front   to   be   maintained.
Principles of operation
Using a radar with a range of about 100 metres, located   at   the   front   of   the   vehicle,   this   system  
d

etects   a   vehicle   running   in   front   of   your  
v

ehicle.
It
  automatically   adapts   the   speed   of   the   vehicle  
t

o   that   of   the   vehicle   in   front.
If
  the   vehicle   in   front   is   running   more   slowly,  
t

he   system   progressively   reduces   the   speed   of  
y

our   vehicle   using   just   engine   braking   (as   if   the  
d

river   had   pressed   the   "-"
  button).
If
  your   vehicle   is   too   close   to   or   approaching  
t

oo   quickly   the   vehicle   in   front,   the   dynamic  
c

ruise   control   is   automatically   deactivated.  
T

he   driver   is   then   alerted   by   an   audible   signal,  
a

ccompanied   by   a   message.
Choice of the type of cruise control
The choice between the "dynamic" and "standard"   cruise   control   is   done   in   the   Driving
menu.
F

I
n the Driving
 
menu,   select   the   "Driving
assistance " tab, then "Dynamic cruise
control"
  to   activate   or   deactivate   the  
d

ynamic   cruise   control.
For
  more   information   on   the   Cruise
control ,
  refer   to   the   corresponding  
s

ection.F

P
lace the cruise control
thumbwheel
  at   "CRUISE". If
  the   vehicle   in   front   accelerates   or   changes  l
ane,   the   dynamic   cruise   control   progressively  
a

ccelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed
 s

peed.
If
  the   driver   operates   a   direction   indicator  
t

o   the   left   (left   hand   drive)   or   the   right   (right  
h

and   drive),   to   overtake   a   slower   vehicle,   the  
d

ynamic   cruise   control   allows   your   vehicle   to  
t

emporarily   approach   the   vehicle   in   front   to  
a

ssist   the   overtaking   manoeuvre,   though   never  
e

xceeding   the   programmed   speed.
Driving

159
The dynamic cruise control is switched on
m anually:   it   requires   that   the   speed   of   the  
v

ehicle   be   between   25   and   90   mph   (40   and  
1

50 km/h),   as   well   as   the   engagement   of:
-
 
f
ourth   gear   or   higher   with   a   manual  
g

earbox,
-
 
s
econd   gear   or   higher   with   an   automatic  
g

earbox   in   manual   mode,
-

osition   D   with   an   automatic   gearbox.
The
  system   remains   active   after   changing   gear  
o
