Memorising the speed setting
This memorisation is in addition to the display
of Speed limit recognition .
The driver can choose to adapt the speed
setting to the speed limit suggested, by
pressing the memorisation button at the speed
limiter controls, with the standard cruise
control, the dynamic cruise control or the
dynamic cruise control with Stop function.
This speed setting then replaces the previous
speed setting for the speed limiter and/or cruise
control. For more information on the Speed
limiter , Cruise control , Dynamic
cruise control or Dynamic cruise
control with Stop function , refer to

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.
You are advised to keep your feet near the pedals at all times.
S
witching 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,
-

s

econd gear or higher in manual mode on
an automatic gearbox,
-

position
D on an automatic gearbox.
The system remains active after changing gear
on vehicles with a manual gearbox and Stop &
Start.
The cruise control is paused by pressing
button 4 or the brake pedal or on triggering of
the ESC system for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal until the
programmed cruise speed is reached again. 1.

Flashing of the dashes indicates a fault with the
cruise control.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Operating faultWhen the cruise control is switched on,
be careful if you maintain the pressure
on one of the programmed speed
changing buttons: this may result in a
very rapid change in the speed of your
vehicle.
Do not use the cruise control on
slippery roads or in heavy traffic.
On a steep descent, the cruise control
will not be able to prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the programmed speed.
On steep climbs or when towing, the
programmed speed may not be reached
or maintained.
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 secured
c o r r e c t l y,
-

n
ever fit one mat on top of another.

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
detects a vehicle running in front of your
vehicle.
It automatically adapts the speed of the vehicle
to that of the vehicle in front.
If the vehicle in front is running more slowly,
the system progressively reduces the speed of
your vehicle using just engine braking (as if the
driver had pressed the "-" button).
If your vehicle is too close to or approaching
the vehicle in front too quickly, the dynamic
cruise control is automatically deactivated.
The driver is then alerted by an audible signal,
accompanied 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
functions " tab, then " Active cruise
control" to activate or deactivate the
dynamic cruise control.
For more information on the Cruise
control , refer to the corresponding
section. F

P
lace the cruise control
thumbwheel at "CRUISE". If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes
lane, the dynamic cruise control progressively
accelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed speed.
If the driver operates a direction indicator to
the left (left-hand drive) or the right (right-
hand drive), to overtake a slower vehicle, the
dynamic cruise control allows your vehicle to
temporarily approach the vehicle in front to
assist the overtaking manoeuvre, though never
exceeding the programmed speed.
Driving

163
C4-Picasso-II_en_Chap04_conduite_ed02-2016
The dynamic cruise control is switched on
manually: it requires that the speed of the
vehicle be between 25 and 90 mph (40 and
150
km/h), as well as the engagement of:
-

f
ourth gear or higher with a manual
gearbox,
-

s
econd gear or higher with an automatic
gearbox in manual mode,
-
position D with an automatic gearbox.
The system remains active after changing gear
on vehicles with a manual gearbox and Stop &
Start.
General points
The dynamic cruise control can be paused
manually or automatically:
-

b
y pressing button 4 ,
-

b
y pressing the brake pedal,
-

i
n the event of operation of the ESC, for
safety reasons,
-

i
n the event of operation of the electric
parking brake control lever,
-

w
hen an inter-vehicle time threshold is
reached (calculated according to the
relative speeds of your vehicle and the
vehicle in front and the inter-vehicle time
setting chosen),
-

w
hen the distance between your vehicle
and the one in front becomes too small,
-

w
hen the speed of the vehicle in front is
too


low,
-

w
hen the speed of your vehicle becomes
too low.
The dynamic cruise control cannot in any
circumstances replace the observation
of speed limits, nor the need for vigilance
on the part of the driver.
It is recommended that you always keep
your feet close to the pedals. If the speed setting selected is above
90 mph (150 km/h), the system switches
to standard cruise control operation,
with no adjustment of the inter-vehicle
safe distance (a message appears in
the instrument panel). The inter-vehicle time setting is kept in
memory on switching off the ignition.
The dynamic cruise control operates by
day and at night, in fog or in moderate
rainfall.
The system does not act on the braking
system, but works only with engine braking.
The regulation range is limited: there will
no longer be any adjustment of speed if the
difference between the programmed speed
setting and the speed of the vehicle in front
becomes too high (18 mph (30 km/h)).
If the difference between the
programmed speed setting and the
speed of the vehicle in front is too
great, the speed cannot be adjusted:
the cruise control is automatically
deactivated.
