Driving  
Cruise control  
System which automatically maintains the  
speed of the vehicle at the value programmed  
by the driver, without any action on the  
accelerator pedal.  
Steering mounted controls  
Displays in the instrument panel  
The cruise control is switched on manually: it  
requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph  
(40 km/h) and the engaging of at least 4th gear.  
The cruise control is switched off manually  
or by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or  
on triggering of the ESP system for safety  
reasons.  
The controls of this system are grouped  
together on control stalk A.  
The programmed information is grouped  
together in the instrument panel screen.

Programming  
Operating fault  
In the event of a cruise control malfunction,  
the speed is cleared resulting in flashing of the  
dashes.  
F
Turn dial 1 to the "CRUISE" position:  
the cruise control mode is selected  
but is not switched on (PAUSE).  
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a  
qualified workshop.  
F
Set the programmed speed by  
accelerating to the required speed,  
then press button 2 or 3 (e.g.: 70 mph  
(110 km/h)).  
You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 2 and 3:  
-
-
-
by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press,  
by + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press,  
in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.  
When the cruise control is switched on,  
be careful if you maintain the pressure  
on one of the programmed speed  
changing buttons: this may result in a  
very rapid change in the speed of your  
vehicle.  
Do not use the cruise control on  
slippery roads or in heavy traffic.  
On a steep descent, the cruise control  
will not be able to prevent the vehicle  
from exceeding the programmed speed.  
To avoid any risk of jamming of the  
pedals:  
F
Switch off the cruise control by pressing button 4:  
this is confirmed in the screen (PAUSE).  
F
Switch the cruise control back on by pressing button 4 again.  
Exceeding the programmed speed  
Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the programmed speed results in  
flashing of this speed in the screen.  
Return to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or unintentional  
deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing of the speed.  
-
ensure that the mat is secured  
correctly,  
-
