Driving  
The Stop & Start system requires a  
You should update your navigation  
mapping regularly in order to receive  
accurate speed limit information from the  
system.  
Automatic reading of road signs is a  
driving assistance 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 cannot in any circumstances  
replace the need for vigilance on the part  
of the driver.  
The driver must observe the driving  
regulations and must adapt the speed of  
the vehicle to suit the weather and traffic.  
It is possible for the system to not display  
the speed limit if it does not detect a  
speed limit sign within a preset period.  
The system is designed to detect signs  
that conform to the Vienna Convention on  
road signs.  
12 V battery of specific technology and  
specification.  
All work on this type of battery must be  
carried out only by a CITROËN dealer or a  
qualified workshop.  
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 as you pass a speed limit sign  
intended for cars (light vehicles).  
For more information on the 12 V battery,  
refer to the corresponding section.  
Recognition of  
speed limit signs and  
recommendation  
The units for the speed limits (km/h or  
mph) depend on the country in which you  
are driving.  
This should be taken into account in order  
to observe the speed limit.  
For the system to operate correctly when  
you change country, the units for speed in  
the instrument panel must be set to those  
for the country in which you are driving.  
To maintain correct operation of the  
system: regularly clean the area in front of  
the camera.  
The internal surface of the windscreen can  
also become misted around the camera.  
In humid and cold weather, demist the  
windscreen regularly.  
This system allows the speed limit detected by  
the camera to be displayed in the instrument  
panel.  
The system also processes speed limit details  
from the navigation system mapping.
