Speed limiter
System which prevents the vehicle from exceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
When
the programmed speed limit is reached,
p
ressing the accelerator pedal in the normal
m
anner no longer has any effect.
The
speed limiter is switched on
m
anually:
i
t requires a programmed speed of at least
2
0 mph (30 km/h).
The
speed limiter is switched off by manual
o
peration of the control.
The
programmed speed can be exceeded
t
emporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly.
To
return to the programmed speed, simply
s
low down to a speed below the programmed
s
peed. The
speed limiter cannot, in any
c
ircumstances, replace the need to
r
espect speed limits, nor can it replace the
n
eed for vigilance on the part of the driver.The

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

i
ndicates that the sensors may be dirty.
Certain
sound sources (motorcycle,

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
programme (ESP)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction to prevent skidding o
f the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the
d
riving wheels and on the engine.
The
electronic stability programme acts on the
b
rake of one or more wheels and on the engine
t
o keep the vehicle on the trajectory required by
t
he driver, within the limits of the laws of physics.
This
is indicated by flashing of this
w
arning lamp in the instrument panel. The
ASR /ESP systems offer
e
xceptional safety in normal driving, but
t
his should not encourage the driver to
t
ake extra risks or drive at high speed.
The
correct functioning of these
s
ystems depends on observation of
t
he
ma
nufacturer's
r
ecommendations
r
egarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
t
he braking components, the electronic
c
omponents and the assembly
a
nd repair procedures used by the
C
ITROËN dealer network.
After
an impact, have these systems
c
hecked by a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified
w
orkshop.
Operating fault
Illumination of the warning lamp, accompanid by a message in the
s
creen indicates a malfunction of
t
hese systems.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automatically every time the ignition is switched of, or from
3
0 mph (50 km/h).
F
P
ress this button again to reactivate them
m
anually.
T
he lamp in the button goes off.
The
symbol going off in the instrument panel
i
ndicates the reactivation of the ASR and
ES
P systems.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
g
round, ...), it may be advisable to deactivate
t
he ASR and ESP systems, so that the wheels
c
an move freely and regain grip.
Trajectory control systems
Activation
These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is started.
They
come into operation in the event of a grip
