Modification of the inter-vehicle distance setting
Three predefined inter-vehicle distance settings
are offered:
-
"
Distant" (3 dashes),
-

"
Normal" (2 dashes),
-

"
Close" (1 dash). Engine running and cruise control selected
(grey), you can modify the inter-vehicle
distance setting:
F

p
ress button 6 to display the selection
screen for inter-vehicle distance,
F
p
ress button 6 repeatedly to cycle through
the predefined settings.
The selection screen closes after a
few seconds.
The modification is then taken into account.
This setting remains in memory, whatever the
state of the system and when the ignition is
switched off.
It is possible to exceed the speed setting
temporarily by depressing the accelerator
pedal.
The cruise control no longer manages the
braking system during this period.
Simply release the accelerator pedal to return
to the programmed speed.
If the programmed speed setting is exceeded,
the display of the speed setting disappears
and a message "Cruise control suspended"
is displayed until the accelerator pedal is
released.

Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the cruise
control, you are alerted by the
illumination of this warning lamp
and the display of a message in the
instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible signal.
The cruise control operates by day and at night, in fog or moderate rainfall.
However, it is strongly recommended that you always keep a safe distance from vehicles
ahead, depending on the driving conditions, the weather and the road sur face.
Use the cruise control only where the driving conditions allow running at a constant speed
and at an adequate safe distance.
Do not use the cruise control in urban areas, heavy traffic, on winding or steep roads, on
slippery or flooded sur faces, in snow, if the front bumper is damaged or if the brake lamps
are faulty.
In certain circumstances, it may not be possible for the speed setting to be maintained or
even attained: loaded vehicle, ascending a steep hill, etc.
The system is not intended for the following situations:
-

t

he front end of the vehicle has been modified (addition of driving lamps, paint on the
bumper),
-

d

riving on a racing circuit,
-

r

unning on a rolling road,
-

u

se of snow chains, non-slip covers or studded tyres. Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The operation of the radar, located in the front bumper, may be disturbed by accumulations
of grime (dust, mud...) or in certain weather conditions (snow, ice...).
The message "SYSTEM INACTIVE: Visibility reduced" is displayed to signal that the system
has been put into standby.
Clean the front bumper regularly.
When painting or touching up the paint on the front bumper, consult a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. Certain types of paint could hinder the operation of the radar. The use of mats not approved by CITROËN may inter fere with the operation of the cruise
control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
-

e

nsure that mats are secured correctly,
-

n

ever fit one mat on top of another.
