Cruise control – particular
recommendations
For the safety of everyone, only use the
cruise control where the driving conditions
allow running at a constant speed and
keeping an adequate safety distance.
Remain vigilant when the cruise control
is activated. If you hold one of the speed
setting modification buttons, a very rapid
change in the speed of your vehicle may
o c c u r.
When descending a


steep hill, the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the set speed. Brake if
necessary to control the speed of your
vehicle.
On steep climbs or when towing, the set
speed may not be reached or maintained. Exceeding the programmed speed
setting
The speed setting can be exceeded
temporarily
by pressing the accelerator
pedal (the programmed speed flashes).
To return to the speed setting, release
the accelerator pedal (when this speed is
reached again, the display of the speed
stops flashing).
Operating limits
Never use the system in the following
situations:
-

i
n an urban area with the risk of
pedestrians crossing the road,
-

i
n heavy traffic (except versions with
the Stop & Go function),
-

o
n winding or steep roads,
-

o
n slippery or flooded roads,
-

i
n unfavourable climatic conditions,
-

d
riving on a speed circuit,
-

d
riving on a rolling road,
-

u
se of snow chains, non-slip covers or
studded tyres.
Programmable cruise
control
Refer to the General recommendations
on the use of driving and manoeuvring
aids and to Cruise control – par ticular
recommendations .
This system automatically keeps
the vehicle's speed at the cruise
value programmed by the driver
(speed setting), without using the
accelerator pedal.
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 mode D or of second gear or
higher in mode M .
The cruise control remains active after
changing gear regardless of the gearbox
type on engines fitted with Stop & Start.

F Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the "0" position:
the cruise control information disappears
from the screen.
Malfunction
As a precaution, it is recommended
t hat the cruise speed chosen be close
to the current speed of your vehicle, so
as to avoid any sudden acceleration or
deceleration of the vehicle.
Memorising speeds
Linked to the speed limiter and programmable
cruise control, this function allows speed limits
to be registered which will then be suggested
as settings for these two systems.
You can memorise several speed settings for
each for system.
By default, some speed settings are already
memorised. As a
safety measure, the driver must
only modify the speed settings when
stationary.
Memorising speeds
From the Driving/Vehicle menu of
the touch screen, select " Driving
functions ", then "Memorised
speed settings ".
"MEM " button
Flashing dashes indicate a fault with the cruise
c ontrol system.
Have it checked by a
CITROËN dealer or

Some vehicles present on the road may
not be properly seen or may be poorly
interpreted by the camera and/or radar
(e.g. a lorry), which may lead to a poor
assessment of the distances and lead to
the vehicle inappropriately accelerating or
braking.

Active Lane Keeping
Assist
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
Using a
camera located at the top of the
windscreen, the system identifies lane
markings and steers the vehicle inside this lane
to keep it in the lateral position chosen by the
driver.

Activation/Deactivation
The state of the system stays in the
memory when the ignition is switched off.
The colour of the symbol depends on the
operating state of the system: (grey colour)
At least one of the operating
conditions is not met, the system is
paused.
(green colour)
All operating conditions are met, the
system is active. If the driver no longer wishes to benefit from
the system for a
while, they can deactivate it by
pressing the button again.
The indicator lamp in the button goes off and
the symbol disappears from the instrument
panel.
Cruise control
The driver must hold the steering wheel
properly.
When cruise control is activated, the symbol is
displayed in green: by small steering actions,
the system directs the vehicle and keeps it in
the position chosen by the driver, in the traffic
lane.
The driver can feel movements in the steering
wheel.
This position is not necessarily the centre of
the lane.
The driver can change the position of the
vehicle at any time, by turning the steering
wheel. When the driver feels that the vehicle's
position is appropriate, whilst keeping hands
on the steering wheel, they must release the
pressure to let the system resume control of the
steering, but the vehicle is not centred within
the lane automatically.
This function is primarily suitable for driving on
motor ways and main roads.
F With the adaptive cruise control activated, press this
button.
The action is confirmed by:
-

I
llumination of the indicator lamp in the button in green.
-

D
