Driving  
Speed limiter  
System which prevents the vehicle from  
exceeding the speed programmed by the  
driver.  
Steering mounted controls

When the limit speed is reached, the  
accelerator pedal no longer has any effect.  
The speed limiter is switched on manually: a  
speed of at least 20 mph (approx. 30 km/h)  
must be programmed.  
The information related to the speed limiter is  
grouped together in zone A of the instrument  
panel.  
The speed limiter can in no circumstances  
replace keeping to speed limits or the  
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.  
The speed limiter switches are located on the  
left-hand side of the steering wheel.  
1. Increase the programmed speed.  
2. Decrease the programmed speed.  
3. Speed limiter On / Pause.

If there is a fault, a message is displayed  
accompanied by an audible signal and  
illumination of the SERVICE warning lamp.  
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a  
qualified workshop.  
The accelerator pedal has a stiff point at the  
end of its travel. To exceed the maximum speed  
setting at any time, you can press the pedal  
all the way down. While the speed is being  
exceeded, the speed displayed in zone A will  
flash. Simply release the accelerator pedal to  
return below the maximum speed and restore  
the limiter function.  
In the event of a steep descent or  
under excessive acceleration, the  
speed limiter (which does not act  
on the brakes) may not be able to  
prevent the vehicle from exceeding the  
programmed speed.

Press button 5.  
Or select the speed limiter function.  
Or stop the engine.  
Use of a floor mat other than that  
recommended by CITROËN may affect  
the normal operation of the accelerator  
pedal and hamper the operation of the  
speed limiter.  
The speed will also flash if the speed limiter is  
not able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding  
the programmed speed setting (e.g. on a steep  
descent or under excessive acceleration).  
Floor mats approved by CITROËN  
are fitted with a 3rd fixing located in  
the pedal area to avoid any risk of  
interference with the pedals.  
To reactivate the speed limiter, release the  
accelerator to slow to a speed lower than the  
programmed speed.
