This action causes the information  
PaUsE” to appear in zone a of  
the instrument panel.  
This action does not cancel the  
memorised maximum speed which  
remains displayed in zone a of the  
instrument panel.  
remark: In the event of a steep  
descent or under excessive accel-  
eration, the speed limiter (which  
does not act on the brakes) may  
not be able to prevent the vehicle  
from exceeding the programmed  
speed.  
Use of a floor mat  
other than that recom-  
mended by CiTrOËn  
may affect the normal  
operation of the accel-  
erator pedal and hamper the  
operation of the speed limiter.  
To reactivate the speed limiter,  
release the accelerator to slow to a  
speed lower than the programmed  
speed.  
Floor mats approved by  
CITROËN are fitted with a 3rd  
fixing located in the pedal  
area to avoid any risk of inter-  
ference with the pedals.  
The speed limiter can in no way  
replace respect for speed limits or  
vigilance and responsibility on the  
part of the driver.
