Driving -> Cruise control for Your Citroen C3 SUV Second Generation (2009-2016)

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), as well as the engagement of:  
-
-
fourth gear on a manual gearbox,  
second gear on a or automatic or electronic  
gearbox, in sequential mode,  
-
position A on an electronic gearbox or  
position D on an automatic gearbox.  
The controls of this system are grouped  
together on stalk A.  
1. Cruise control mode selection thumb  
wheel.  
2. Value decrease button.  
3. Value increase button.  
4. Cruise control off/resume button.  
The programmed information is grouped  
together in the instrument panel screen.  
5. Cruise control off/resume indication.  
6. Cruise control mode selection indication.  
7. Programmed speed value.  
The cruise control is switched off manually  
or by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on  
triggering of the trajectory control systems for  
safety reasons.  
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed  
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.  
To return to the programmed speed, simply  
release the accelerator pedal.  
The cruise control cannot, in any circumstances,  
replace the need to respect speed limits, nor can it  
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.  
Switching off the ignition cancels any  
programmed speed value.
