Speed limiter
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
This system prevents the vehicle
from exceeding the speed
programmed by the driver (speed
setting).
The speed limiter is switched on manually.
The minimum speed setting is 19 mph
(30
km/h).
The speed setting remains in the system
memory when the ignition is switched off.

Temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed
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. 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 Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the " 0" position:
the display of information on the speed
limiter disappears.

The display of dashes (flashing then fixed)
indicates a fault with the speed limiter.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The selection screen closes after a few
moments.
This setting becomes the new limit speed.
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.
Driving

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,
-
o
n winding or steep roads,
-
o
n slippery or flooded roads,

-
u
se of snow chains, non-slip covers or
studded tyres.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 .
With an automatic or electronic gearbox,
second gear or higher must be engaged.
The cruise control remains active after
changing gear regardless of the gearbox
type on engines fitted with Stop & Start. Switching off the ignition cancels any
speed setting.

successive short presses on button 2 or 3 ,
F
c
ontinuously, in steps of +/- 5 mph (km/h),
press and hold button 2 or 3 .
Take care: pressing and holding button 2
or 3 results in a rapid change in the speed
of your vehicle.
As a precaution, it is recommended
that 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.
To modify the cruise speed setting using
memorised speed settings and from the touch
screen:
F

speed settings,
F

Temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed
If needed (e.g. for overtaking), it is
possible to exceed the programmed
speed by pressing the accelerator
pedal.
The cruise control is temporarily overridden
and the programmed speed setting flashes.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Once the vehicle has returned to the
programmed speed, the cruise control takes
over again: the display of the programmed
speed setting becomes fixed again. When descending a steep hill, the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the programmed speed.
You may have to brake to control the
speed of your vehicle. In this case, the
cruise control is automatically paused.
To activate the system again, with the
speed of the vehicle above 25 mph
(40
km/h), press button 4
.
Switching off
F Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the " 0” position:
the cruise control information disappears
from the screen.
Malfunction

Adaptive 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 maintains
the speed of your vehicle at a value
which you set (speed setting), while
keeping a safe distance from the
vehicle in front (target vehicle), and
which has been set beforehand by
the driver. The system automatically
manages the acceleration and
deceleration of the vehicle using just
engine braking (as if the driver had
pressed the "-" button).
To do so, it has a radar located in the front
b u m p e r.

Driving
168
Primarily designed for driving on main
roads and motor ways, this system only
works with moving vehicles driving in the
same direction as your vehicle.
If the driver operates a direction indicator
to overtake a slower vehicle, the cruise
control allows your vehicle to temporarily
approach the vehicle in front to assist
the overtaking manoeuvre, without ever
exceeding the speed setting.
Some vehicles present on the road
may not be properly seen or may be
poorly interpreted by radar (e.g. a lorry),
which may lead to a poor assessment
of the distances and lead to the vehicle
inappropriately accelerating or braking.Steering mounted control
