Get Driving -> Speed limiter Guide for Citroen C4 SUV Second Generation (2010-2018)

Driving

The alert is given by a warning lamp which

comes on in the door mirror on the side in

question as soon as a vehicle - car, lorry,

cycle - is detected.

For this, the following conditions must be met:

-

all the vehicles must be moving in the

same direction,

the speed of your vehicle is between 7 and

75 mph (12 and 140 km/h),

when you overtake a vehicle with a speed

difference of less than 6 mph (10 km/h),

when a vehicle overtakes you with a speed

difference of less than 15 mph (25 km/h),

the traffic must be flowing normally,

in the case of an overtaking manoeuvre,

if this is prolonged and the vehicle being

overtaken remains in the blind spot,

you are driving on a straight or slightly

curved road,

-

No alert will be given in the following situations:

-

when overtaking (or being overtaken by) a

very long vehicle (lorry, coach...) which is

at the same time detected at the rear in the

blind spot angle and present in the driver's

forward field of vision,

in very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in

front and behind are confused with a lorry

or a stationary object,

-

in the presence of immobile objects

(parked vehicles, barriers, street lamps,

road signs...),

-

your vehicle is not pulling a trailer, a

caravan...

-

with vehicles moving in the opposite

direction,

driving on a sinuous road or a sharp

corner,

-

when overtaking quickly.

Driving

Operating fault

In the event of a fault, the warning lamp in the

button flashes then goes off.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop.

The system may suffer temporary

interference in certain weather

conditions (rain, hail...).

In particular, driving on a wet surface

or moving from a dry area to a wet area

can cause false alerts (for example, the

presence of a fog of water droplets in

the blind spot angle is interpreted as a

vehicle).

In bad or wintry weather, ensure that

the sensors are not covered by mud, ice

or snow.

Take care not to cover the warning zone

in the door mirrors or the detection

zones on the front and rear bumpers

with adhesive labels or other objects;

they may hamper the correct operation

of the system.

F

To deactivate the system, press this button

again; the warning lamp goes off.

The state of the system remains in memory on

switching off the ignition.

The system is automatically deactivated

when towing with a towbar approved by

CITROËN.

Speed limiter

System which prevents the vehicle from exceeding the speed programmed by the driver.

Steering mounted controls

Displays in the instrument panel

The speed limiter is switched on manually.

The minimum programmed speed is

20 mph (30 km/h).

The programmed speed remains in the

system memory when the ignition is

switched off.

The speed limiter is a driving aid that

cannot, in any circumstances, replace the

need to observe speed limits or the need

for vigilance on the part of the driver.

Driving

Switching on

Adjusting the limit speed

setting

You do not have to switch the speed limiter on

in order to set the speed.

To modify the limit speed setting from the

current speed of the vehicle:

F

in steps of +/- 1 mph (km/h), make

successive short presses on button 2 or 3,

continuously, in steps of +/- 5 mph (km/h),

press and hold button 2 or 3.

To modify the limit speed setting using

memorised speeds and from your Audio system

(only with the monochrome screen C):

F

with the system first activated.

For more information on memorising speeds,

refer to the corresponding section.

F

Turn the wheel 1 to the "LIMIT" position

to select the speed limiter; the function is

paused.

F

make a long press on button 2 or 3, the

system displays the memorised speed

closest to the actual speed of the vehicle;

this setting becomes the new limit speed.

to choose another memorised speed, make

another long press on button 2 or 3.

6

F

If the speed setting is suitable (last speed

setting programmed in the system) press

button 4 to switch the speed limiter on.

To modify the limit speed setting using

memorised speeds and from the touch screen

tablet:

F

press button 5 to display the six memorised

speed settings,

F

press the button for the desired speed

setting.

F

Pressing button 4 temporarily interrupts the

function (pause).

This setting becomes the new limit speed.

Driving

Temporarily exceeding the

programmed speed

Operating fault

When the limit speed is exceeded but is not

due to action by the driver, there is an audible

signal to complete the alert.

Once the speed of the vehicle returns to

the programmed setting, the speed limiter

functions again: the display of the programmed

speed setting becomes steady again.

Flashing dashes indicate a fault with the speed

limiter.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop.

F

If you want to temporarily exceed the

programmed limit speed, press firmly on

the accelerator pedal, going beyond the

point of resistance.

The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily

and the displayed programmed speed flashes.

The use of mats not approved by

CITROËN may interfere with the

operation of the speed limiter.

To avoid any risk of jamming of the

pedals:

On a steep descent or in the event of

sharp acceleration, the speed limiter

will not be able to prevent the vehicle

from exceeding the programmed speed.

-

ensure that the mat is positioned

correctly,

Switching off

F

Turn wheel 1 to the "0" position: the

display of information on the speed limiter

disappears.

-

do not fit one mat on top of another.
