Selecting the function - On
Selecting On switches the function on. A
message appears in the instrument panel
screen to confirm the action.
Programming a speed
Accelerate to the required speed, with 2nd
to 6th gear engaged.
Move the control upwards (+), for
approximately one second, to store this
speed.
Release the pressure on the accelerator
pedal, the vehicle will maintain this speed.
Switching off / deactivating the function
Press the brake or clutch pedal or place
the ring in the OFF position, the indicator
goes
off.
If the dynamic stability control system comes
into operation, the cruise control system is
deactivated temporarily.
-
increase the speed in steps, by means of


brief presses, or continuously by pressing
and holding the control upwards (+ sign),
temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed
When the cruise control is active, it is still
possible to exceed the programmed speed
by depressing the accelerator pedal (to
overtake another vehicle for example).
-

decrease the speed continuously

by pressing and holding the control
downwards (- sign).
restore - rES
To restore the vehicle's
programmed speed (for example
after pressing the brake or clutch
pedal), gradually return to the chosen speed
and press
r ES.

56Good practice
When changing the programmed reference
speed by pressing and holding the control,
take care as the speed may increase or
decrease rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads or in heavy traffic.
On a steep gradient, the cruise control will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
The cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to comply
with speed limits or vigilance on the part of
driver.
It is advisable to leave your feet near the
pedals.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedals:
-
ensure that the mat is positioned

correctly,
-

never fit one mat on top of another
.
cancelling the programmed speed
When the vehicle stops, after the ignition is
switched off, the system no longer stores
any speed.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault, the system
is switched off and the indicator
goes off.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.

cruISE cOntrOL
"This is the speed at which the driver wishes
to drive".
This aid to driving in free-flowing traffic
enables the vehicle to maintain the speed
programmed by the driver, unless a
steep gradient or heavy load makes this
impossible.In order for it to be programmed or
activated, the vehicle speed must be greater
than 18 mph (30 km/h) with 2
nd gear or
higher engaged. Function selected.
Function deactivated.
Selecting the function
- Turn the ring fully upwards. The cruise
control is selected but is not yet active
and no speed has been programmed.
The indicator comes on in the instrument
panel
The status of the cruise control is given
by an indicator in the rev counter and
messages in the instrument panel screen.

First activation /
programming a
speed
- Reach the chosen speed by pressing
the accelerator.
-

Move the switch up (+) or down (-)

to memorise the speed. A message
appears in the instrument panel screen
to confirm the operation.
The vehicle will maintain this speed setting.
temporarily exceeding the speed
setting
It is possible to accelerate and drive
momentarily at a speed greater than the
programmed speed.
When the accelerator pedal is released, the
vehicle will return to the programmed speed.
reactivation
- Following deactivation of the cruise
control, press this button. A message
appears in the instrument panel screen
to confirm the reactivation.
Your vehicle will return to the last
programmed speed.
Alternatively, you can repeat the "first
activation" procedure.
deactivation (off)
- Press this button or the brake or clutch
pedal. A message appears in the
instrument panel screen to confirm the
deactivation.
Steering mounted controls

59
There are two methods of memorising a
speed higher than the previous one:
Without using the accelerator:
-
Move the switch up (+).
A

brief press increases the speed
by 1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press increases the speed in
steps of 5 mph (km/h).
Using the accelerator:
-

exceed the memorised speed until the

speed required is reached,
-

move the switch up (+) or down (-).
T

o memorise a speed lower than the
previous one:
-

move the switch down (-).
A

brief press decreases the speed
by 1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press decreases the speed in
steps of 5 mph (km/h).
changing the
programmed
speed Switching the system off
- Place the ring in the central
O position
or switch off the ignition to switch the
system off.
When the vehicle becomes stationary, after
switching off the ignition, the system no
longer memorises a speed.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault, the system
switches off and the indicator
goes off. Contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the system checked.
Good practice
When changing the programmed reference
speed by means of a maintained press,
pay attention as the speed can increase or
decrease rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads or in heavy traffic.
In the event of a steep slope, the cruise
control cannot prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
In any event, the cruise control cannot
replace the need to observe the speed
limits, nor can it replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
It is advisable to leave your feet near the
pedals.
To avoid any jamming under the pedals:
-

ensure
that the mat and its fixings on the
floor are positioned correctly,
-

never place one mat on top of another
.

SPEEd LIMItEr
"This is the selected speed which the driver
does not wish to exceed".
This selection is made with the vehicle
stationary and the engine running or with the
vehicle moving and 2
nd gear or higher engaged.
The lowest speed that can be programmed is
20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed of the vehicle responds to the
pressure of the driver's foot as far as the
accelerator pedal point of resistance which
indicates that the programmed speed has been
reached. However, pressing the pedal beyond this
point of resistance to the floor permits
exceeding of the programmed speed. To
resume use of the limiter, simply reduce
the pressure on the accelerator pedal
gradually and return to a speed below that
programmed.
t

he operating actions may be carried out
with the vehicle stationary and the engine
running, or with the vehicle moving. This speed limiter shows the status of the
system and the programmed speed in the
instrument panel screen:
System selected,
display of the "Speed
Limiter" indicator.
System deactivated,
last programmed speed - OFF
(example at 65 mph
(107
km/h)).
System activated
(example at 65 mph
(107 km/h)).
Vehicle speed above
(example 70 mph
(118
km/h))
the programmed speed is
displayed flashing.
Operating fault detected,
OFF - the dashes flash.
Steering mounted controls

61
Selecting the function
- Turn the ring fully downwards. The speed limiter is selected but is not yet
active. The display indicates OFF and
the last programmed speed.
Programming a speed
A speed can be programmed without
activating the limiter but with the engine
running.
To memorise a speed higher than the
previous one:
-

move the switch up (+).
A

brief press increases the speed
by 1
mph (km/h).
A maintained press increases the speed in
steps of 5 mph (km/h).
To memorise a speed lower than the
previous one:
-

move the switch down (-).
A

brief press decreases the speed
by 1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press decreases the speed in
steps of 5 mph (km/h).
Activation/deactivation
Pressing this button once activates the
speed limiter, OFF disappears from the
screen and a message appears to confirm
the activation.
A second press deactivates it, OFF
reappears in the screen and a message
appears to confirm the deactivation.

Exceeding the programmed
speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal in order to
exceed the programmed speed will have
no effect unless you press the pedal firmly
beyond the point of resistance.
If the limiter is unable to prevent an increase
in the speed of the vehicle because of the
profile of the road or when going down a
step hill, the programmed speed may be
exceeded.
The limiter is deactivated temporarily and
the programmed speed flashes.
To return to the limiter function, reduce your
speed to below the programmed speed.
Switching the system off
- Place the ring in the central O position
or switch off the ignition to switch the
system off.
The last programmed speed remains in the
memory.
Operating fault
The programmed speed is cleared then
replaced by dashes.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Good practice
In any event, the speed limiter cannot
replace the need to observe speed limits,
nor can it replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
Always pay attention to the profile of the
road and sharp acceleration and stay in
complete control of your vehicle.
To avoid any jamming under the pedals:
-

ensure
that the mat and its fixings on the
floor are positioned correctly,
-

never place one mat on top of another
.
