System which automatically maintains the cruising speed of the vehicle at a setting programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator
pedal.
The cruise control system is a driving aid
that cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need to observe speed limits, nor the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
As a safety measure, you are advised to
keep your feet near the pedals at all times.

When descending a steep hill, the
cruise control system cannot prevent
the vehicle from exceeding the
programmed speed.
As a precaution, it is recommended
that the cruise speed chosen be close
to the current speed of your vehicle, so
as to avoid any sudden acceleration or
deceleration of the vehicle. When required (overtaking manoeuvre, etc.), it
is possible to exceed the programmed speed
by pressing the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is temporarily overridden
and the programmed speed setting flashes.
You may have to brake to control the speed of
your vehicle. In this case, the cruise control is
automatically paused.
To activate the system again, with the speed
of the vehicle above 25 mph (40 km/h), press
button 4.
Temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Once the vehicle has returned to the
programmed speed, the cruise control takes
over again: the display of the programmed
speed setting becomes steady again.
Switching off
F Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the "0" position:
the cruise control information disappears
from the screen.
To modify the cruise speed setting using
memorised speeds and from the touch screen:
F

p

ress button 5 to display the six memorised
speed settings,
F

p

ress the button for the desired speed
setting.
This setting becomes the new cruise speed.

Operating fault
Flashing dashes indicate a fault with the cruise
control system.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.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
safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
Do not activate the cruise control in
urban areas, in heavy traffic, on winding
or steep roads, on slippery or flooded
roads, or in conditions of poor visibility
(heavy rain, fog, falling snow, etc.).
In some circumstances, it may not be
possible to maintain or reach the cruise
speed set: towing, vehicle heavily
loaded, steep climb, etc.The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with the
operation of the cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:
-

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.
