Driving -> Speed Limit Recognition and Recommendation for Your Citroen C3 SUV Third Generation (2016-2024)

Driving  
Maintenance  
Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and  
the field of vision of the cameras regularly.  
When washing your vehicle at high pressure,  
direct the spray from at least 30 cm away  
from the radar, sensors and cameras.  
The automatic reading of road signs is a  
driving aid system and does not always  
display speed limits correctly.  
The speed limit signs present on the road  
always take priority over the display by the  
system.  
The system is designed to detect signs that  
conform to the Vienna Convention on road  
signs.  
Mats  
This system displays the maximum authorised  
speed in the instrument panel, according to  
the speed limits in the country in which you are  
driving, using:  
– Speed limit signs detected by the camera.  
– Speed limit details from the navigation system  
mapping.  
The use of mats not approved by  
CITROËN may interfere with the operation of  
the speed limiter or cruise control.  
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:  
– Ensure that the mat is secured correctly.  
– Never fit one mat on top of another.  
Specific speed limits, such as those for  
heavy goods vehicles, are not displayed.  
The display of the speed limit in the  
instrument panel is updated when passing  
a speed limit sign intended for cars (light  
vehicles).  
Units of speed  
Navigation mapping should be regularly  
updated in order to receive accurate  
speed limit information from the system.  
Ensure that the units of speed displayed  
in the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are  
those for the country you are driving in.  
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is  
stationary, set the display to the required  
units of speed so that it complies with what is  
authorised locally.  
Activation / Deactivation  
By default, the system is automatically activated  
at every engine start.  
The units for the speed limit (mph or  
km/h) depend on the country you are  
driving in.  
This should be taken into account so that you  
observe the speed limit.  
For the system to work correctly when  
changing country, the speed unit in the  
instrument panel must correspond to that of  
the country you are driving in.  
It is set via the vehicle  
configuration menu.  
In case of doubt, contact a CITROËN dealer  
or a qualified workshop.  
Speed Limit Recognition  
and Recommendation  
Refer to the General recommendations on the  
use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
