Driving on flooded roads
Before driving through a flooded road,
it is strongly recommended that you
deactivate the Stop & Start system.
For more information on Driving
advice
, particularly on flooded roads,
refer to the corresponding section. The Stop & Start system requires a
battery of advanced technology and
special characteristics.
All work on this type of battery must
only be done by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
For more information on the 12 V
battery
, refer to the corresponding
section.

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

Speed limiter - "LIMIT"
System which prevents the vehicle from exceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
The speed limiter 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.
Once the programmed speed limit is reached,
additional pressure on the accelerator pedal
has no effect.

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:

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

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.
