Speed limiter
This system prevents the vehicle
from exceeding the speed
programmed by the driver.
The speed limiter is switched on manually.
The minimum programmed speed is 19
mph
(30
km/h).
The programmed speed value remains in the
system memory when the ignition is switched
of f. The speed limiter is a driving aid that
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the
need to obser ve speed limits or the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver.
This function is a driving aid that cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the driver’s
own vigilance nor compliance with the
highway code.
The actual signs always take priority over
the display by the system.
The signs must comply with the Vienna
Convention on road signs.
One-way street: if you start driving down a one-
way street the wrong way, an alert message,
including the sign's symbol, is displayed in the

Malfunction
The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with the operation
of the speed limiter.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
-
e
nsure that the mat is positioned

ever fit one mat on top of another.
Flashing dashes indicate a fault with the speed
limiter.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Programmable cruise
control
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 remains active after
changing gear, regardless of the gearbox
type, on vehicles fitted with Stop & Start.
The operation of the cruise control can be
temporarily interrupted (pause):
-
b
y pressing control 4 or by pressing the
brake pedal,
-
a
utomatically, if operation of the dynamic
stability control system is triggered.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed setting.
The cruise control system is a driving aid
that cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need to obser ve 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.
The cruise control is switched on
manually.
It requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25
mph
(40
km/h).
With a manual gearbox, it requires the
engagement of third gear or higher.
With an automatic gearbox, it requires the
engagement of the selector in mode D or of
second gear or higher in mode M .
Once the speed of the vehicle returns to
the programmed setting, the speed limiter
functions again: the display of the programmed
speed setting becomes fixed again.

The brake lamps illuminate as soon as
the braking system is activated with
deceleration of the vehicle.This system is a driving aid that cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the need to
obser ve speed limits and safety distances,
nor the need for vigilance on the part of
the driver.
Some vehicles present on the road may
not be properly seen or may be poorly
interpreted by the camera (e.g. a lorry),
which may lead to a poor assessment
of the distances and lead to the vehicle
inappropriately accelerating or braking.
The driver must be ready at all times to
retake control of their vehicle by keeping
both hands on the steering wheel and
keeping the feet near the brake and
accelerator pedals.

stationary; the cruise control is paused.
The driver should press the accelerator pedal
to move off, then reactivate the system above
19 mph (30 km/h) by pressing one of the
buttons 2 , 3 or 4.
If the driver takes no action following this
immobilisation, the electric parking brake
is applied automatically after a while
(approximately 5
minutes). As a safety measure, wait until the current
speed approaches the speed setting to
reactivate the function by pressing button

The system is not intended for the
following situations:
-
i
f the front end of the vehicle has
been modified (addition of long-range
headlamps, painting of the front
bumper),
-
d
riving on a racing circuit,
-
r
unning on a rolling road,
-
u
se of snow chains, non-slip covers or
studded tyres.
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 the mat is secured
c o r r e c t l y,
-
n
ever place one mat on top of another.
The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
from working:
-
d
riving on a winding road,
-
p
oor visibility (inadequate street
lighting, falling snow, heavy rain, dense
f o g , e t c .),
-
d
azzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp
road, leaving a tunnel, alternating
shade and light, etc.),
-
c
amera obstructed (mud, frost, snow,
condensation, etc.).
In these situations, detection performance
may be reduced.Malfunction
If the cruise control
malfunctions, dashes are
displayed instead of the
cruise control speed setting.
If this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an alert
message and an audible
signal, this confirms a
malfunction.
The adaptive cruise control deactivates
automatically if the use of a "space-saver"
type spare wheel is detected or if there is
a malfunction on the lateral brake lamps or
trailer brake lamps (for approved trailers).
The cruise control operates by day and
night, in fog or moderate rainfall.
However, it is strongly recommended that
you always adapt the speed and the safety
distance in relation to the vehicles ahead,
according to the driving conditions, the
weather and the road surface.
Use the cruise control only where the
driving conditions allow running at a
constant speed and keeping an adequate
safety distance.
Do not activate the cruise control in urban
areas where pedestrians are likely to
cross the road, in heavy traffic (except for
versions with EAT8 gearbox), on winding
or steep roads, on slippery or flooded
roads, when there is snowfall, if the
windscreen is damaged or when the brake
lamps have failed.
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.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Memorising speeds
Linked to the speed limiter and programmable
cruise control only, this function allows speed
limits to be registered which will then be
suggested as settings for these two systems.

Operating fault
If a fault occurs when shifting
to reverse, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by a message and an
audible signal (short beep).
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Top Rear Vision
With the engine running, and as soon as
reverse gear is engaged, this system allows
views of your vehicle’s close surroundings to
be displayed on the touch screen using a rear
camera. Different contextual views can be displayed in
the left-hand part:
-
s
tandard view,
- 1 80° view,
- z oom view.
AUTO mode is activated by default.
In this mode, the system chooses the best view
to display (standard or zoom) according to the
information from the parking sensors.
You can change the type of view at any time
during a manoeuvre. The state of the system is not kept in memory
when the ignition is switched off.
Principle of operation
The screen is divided into two parts: on the
left, a contextual view; on the right, a view from
above the vehicle in its close surroundings.
The parking sensors supplement the
information on the view from above the vehicle.
Using the rear camera, the vehicle's
surroundings are recorded during manoeuvres
at low speed.
An image from above your vehicle in its close
surroundings is reconstructed (represented
between the blue brackets) in real time and as
the manoeuvre progresses.
This representation facilitates the alignment of
your vehicle when parking and allows obstacles
close to the vehicle to be seen.
This image is automatically deleted if the
vehicle remains stationary for too long.
This system is a visual aid that cannot in
any circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
