Driving -> Cruise control for Your Citroen Ds4 SUV First Generation (2010-2018)

Cruise control  
System which automatically maintains the  
speed of the vehicle at the value programmed  
by the driver, without any action on the  
accelerator pedal.  
Steering mounted controls  
Displays in the instrument panel  
Operation  
The cruise control is switched on manually: it  
requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph  
(40 km/h) and engagement of:  
-
-
fourth gear on the manual gearbox,  
second gear on the electronic gearbox  
system or automatic gearbox, in sequential  
driving mode,  
-
position A on the electronic gearbox  
system or D on an automatic gearbox.  
The functions of this system are grouped  
together on the steering mounted controls.  
1. Cruise control mode selection dial.  
2. Speed programming/value decrease  
button.  
3. Speed programming/value increase button.  
4. Cruise control off/resume button.  
5. Memorised speeds display button.  
(see "Memorising speeds")  
The programmed information is grouped  
together in the instrument panel screen.  
6. Cruise control off/resume indication.  
7. Cruise control mode selection indication.  
8. Programmed speed value.  
The cruise control is switched off manually  
or by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or  
on triggering of the ESP system for safety  
reasons.  
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed  
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.  
To return to the programmed speed, simply  
release the accelerator pedal.  
9. Selecting a stored speed.  
(see "Storing speeds")  
Switching off the ignition cancels any  
programmed speed value.  
The cruise control system cannot, in any  
circumstances, replace the need to respect speed  
limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance and  
responsibility on the part of the driver.  
You are advised to keep your feet near the pedals  
at all times.

Driving  
Programming  
Operating fault  
In the event of a cruise control malfunction,  
the speed is cleared resulting in flashing of the  
dashes.  
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a  
qualified workshop.  
Turn dial 1 to the "CRUISE" position: the  
cruise control mode is selected but is not  
switched on (Pause).  
Set the programmed speed by accelerating  
to the required speed, then press button 2  
or 3 (e.g.: 70 mph (110 km/h)); the cruise  
control system is activated (ON).  
You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 2 and 3:  
-
-
by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press,  
in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.  
When the cruise control is switched on,  
be careful if you maintain the pressure  
on one of the programmed speed changing  
buttons: this may result in a very rapid  
change in the speed of your vehicle.  
Do not use the cruise control on slippery  
roads or in heavy traffic.  
On a steep descent, the cruise control will  
not be able to prevent the vehicle from  
exceeding the programmed speed.  
On steep climbs or when towing, the  
programmed speed may not be reached or  
maintained.  
If storing speeds is available and activated on your vehicle, the  
programmed speed will stop at the closest stored speed; refer to the  
corresponding section.  
Stop the cruise control system by pressing button 4: this is  
confirmed in the screen (Pause).  
Switch on the cruise control again with another press on button 4.  
Exceeding the programmed speed  
Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the programmed speed results in  
flashing of this speed in the screen.  
Return to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or unintentional  
deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing of the speed.  
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:  
-
-
ensure that the mat is positioned  
correctly,  
never fit one mat on top of another.  
Exiting cruise control mode  
Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the cruise control mode is deselected.  
It disappears from the screen.
