Activation/Deactivation
By default, the system is automatically
activated at every engine start.The function is activated and
deactivated in the Driving /Vehicle
menu of the touch screen.
Displays in the instrument panel
1. Detected speed limit indication.
or
2. Indication of the end of the speed limit.
The system is active but is not detecting speed
limit information. On detection of speed limit information, the
system displays the value.Operating limits
The legislation on speed limits is specific to
each country.
The system does not take account of reduced
speed limits in the following cases:
-

p
oor weather (rain, snow),
-
a

tmospheric pollution,
-
w

hen towing,
-

d
riving with a space-saver type spare wheel
or snow chains fitted,
-
p

uncture repair using the temporary repair
kit,
-
y

oung drivers, etc. The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it from
working:
-

p
oor visibility (inadequate street lighting,
falling snow, rain, fog),
-
w
indscreen area located in front of the
camera dirty, misted, frost-covered, snow-
covered, damaged or covered by a sticker,
-
f
ault with the camera,
-
o
bsolete or incorrect mapping,
-
o
bstructed road signs (by other vehicles,
vegetation, snow),
-
s
peed limit signs that do not conform to the
standard, are damaged or distorted.
Recommendation
For a suggested maximum speed, the first
t ime that the vehicle's speed exceeds it by
more than 3
mph (5 km/h) (example: 59 mph
(95
km/h)), the speed flashes for 10 seconds.
In addition to Speed Limit recognition and
recommendation , the driver can select the
speed displayed as a
speed setting for the
speed limiter or cruise control using the speed
limiter or cruise control storage button.

Memorising the speed
On detection of a sign offering a new speed
l imit, the system displays the value and " MEM"
flashes for a
few seconds to offer to make it
a
new speed setting.
If there is a
difference of less than 6 mph
(9
km/h) between the speed setting and
the speed displayed by the Speed Limit
recognition and recommendation, the
" MEM " symbol is not displayed.
Depending on the road conditions, several
speeds may be displayed.
F

P
ress button 2 once to save the suggested
speed value.
A message is displayed to confirm the request. F

P
ress button 2 again
to confirm and save
the new speed setting.
After a predetermined period, the screen
returns to the current display.
Extended Traffic Sign
RecognitionF Switch on the speed limiter/cruise control.
The speed limiter/cruise control information is
displayed.
This additional system recognises these road
signs and displays them in the instrument panel
if the appropriate display mode is selected.
One-way street: if you start driving the wrong
way down a
one-way street, an alert message,
including the sign's symbol, is displayed in the
instrument panel (request to check the traffic
direction).
Other signs: when approaching one of these
signs, the sign's symbol is displayed in the
instrument panel.
The real road signs always take priority
over the display from the system.
The signs must comply with the Vienna
Convention on road signs.

The speed displays immediately in the
instrument panel as the new speed setting.
Temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed
When the limit speed is exceeded but this is not
due to action by the driver (in case of a steep
slope, for example), an audible signal triggers
immediately.
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.
Switching off
F To temporarily exceed the programmed speed threshold, fully depress the
accelerator pedal.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the displayed programmed speed flashes.
If it is exceeded for a
prolonged period of time,
an audible warning is triggered.
Simply release the accelerator pedal to return
to below the programmed speed. F

T
urn the thumbwheel 1 to the "
0" position:
the display of information on the speed
limiter disappears.
Malfunction
Flashing of the dashes indicates a fault with the
sp eed limiter.
Have it checked by a
CITROËN dealer or
a


qualified workshop. On sharp acceleration, as when
descending a
steep hill, the speed limiter
will not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
The speed limiter is deactivated
temporarily and the displayed
programmed speed flashes.
An audible signal accompanies the
flashing of the programmed speed when
exceeding the speed is not due to an
action by the driver.
The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with the operation
of the speed limiter.
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,
-
n
ever fit one mat on top of another.
The selection screen closes after a

few
moments.
This setting becomes the new limit speed.

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

With an EAT8 gearbox, following braking of
t he vehicle bringing it to a complete stop,
if the traffic conditions do not allow the
vehicle to be restarted within the 3
seconds
following immobilisation, press button 4
or the
accelerator pedal to start off again.
If the driver takes no action following this
immobilisation, the electric parking brake is
applied automatically after about 5


minutes.
Cruise control remains active after
changing gear regardless of the gearbox
type.
When the cruise control is paused,
the message "Activation not possible,
conditions unsuitable" is displayed as
long as reactivation is not possible (safety
conditions not met).
Using the Speed Limit recognition
and recommendation function

the function, then press again to confirm. To prevent any sudden acceleration or
deceleration of the vehicle, select a


speed
setting fairly close to the current speed of
your vehicle.

Conditions for operation
- The adaptive cruise control must be active.
- T he vehicle must be travelling in a traffic
lane clearly delimited by lines on both sides.

T
he ESC system must be operating.
-

T

must not be in use.
-

T

lateral accelerations.
-

T
he direction indicators must not be
activated.
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
