Speed limiter
The system prevents the vehicle
from exceeding the speed setting
programmed by the driver.
Speed selection is made with the vehicle
stationary and the engine running or with
the vehicle moving and 2nd gear or higher
engaged.
The minimum speed that can be programmed
is 19
mph (30 km/h).
The vehicle responds to the driver's foot
pressure on the accelerator until resistance is
felt in the pedal, which signifies that the vehicle
has reached the programmed speed.
However, pressing the pedal beyond this point
of resistance to the floor permits exceeding
the programmed speed. To resume use of
the limiter, simply reduce the pressure on
the accelerator pedal gradually and return to
a
speed below the programmed speed. 1.
Selecting the limiter function.
2. Activation/deactivation of the function.
3. Programming a

Malfunction
In the event of a fault, the system is
s witched off and the indicator goes
out.
Have it checked by a
CITROËN dealer or by
a
qualified workshop. Use the cruise control only when traffic
conditions allow you to travel at a
constant
speed for a
certain period of time whilst
keeping a
sufficiently safe distance from
other vehicles.
Do not activate the cruise control in urban
areas, in heavy traffic, on winding or steep
roads, on slippery or flooded roads, or in
conditions of poor visibility (heavy rain,
fog, falling snow, etc.).
In some circumstances, it may not
be possible to maintain or reach the
programmed speed: towing, vehicle
heavily loaded, steep climb, etc. The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may impair the operation of the
cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
-
e
nsure that the mat is positioned
c o r r e c t l y,
-
d
o not fit one mat on top of another.

im age remains displayed for approximately
5
seconds then switches off.
In the same way, the last image also remains
displayed, with the vehicle stationary, when the
rear doors are closed.
With optimum vehicle conditions (position
on the road, loading level) the maximum
area of visibility covered by the camera
has a
field depth approximately 3 m long
and 5.5
m wide.
The area of visibility may vary depending
on the external weather conditions
(brightness, rain, snow, fog, etc.), the
load in the vehicle and the position of the
vehicle on the road.
When cleaning the camera and the
screen, avoid using a
detergent or a tool
which may scratch the glass.
Use a
non-abrasive cloth or a small brush.
It sends images to the screen installed in the
cab.
Activation and deactivation of the system is
done in the settings menu of the touch screen
audio-telematic system.
This rear vision is an aid to manoeuvring. The
reversing camera may be linked with the rear
parking sensors.
