The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily  
and the displayed programmed speed flashes.  
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a  
qualified workshop.  
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.  
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:  
When the limit speed is exceeded but is not  
due to action by the driver, there is an audible  
signal to complete the alert.  
-
ensure that the mat is positioned  
correctly,  
do not fit one mat on top of another.  
-
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.
