going beyond the point of resistance, to

exceed the programmed speed limit.

The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily

and the displayed programmed speed flashes.

An audible signal accompanies the flashing

of the programmed speed when exceeding

the speed is not due to an action by the driver

(steep hill, etc.).

As soon as the vehicle's speed returns to the

programmed value, the limiter operates again:

the display of the programmed speed becomes

steady again.

On sharp acceleration, as when

descending a steep hill, the speed limiter

will not be able to prevent the vehicle from

exceeding the programmed speed.

An audible signal accompanies the

flashing of the programmed speed when

exceeding the speed is not due to an

action by the driver.

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,

F 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 the touch screen:

F press button 5 to display the memorised

speed settings,

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:

F press the button for the desired speed

setting.

The selection screen closes after a few

moments.

ensure that the mat is positioned

correctly,

never fit one mat on top of another.

Switching off

F Turn wheel 1 to the 0 position. The display

of information related to the speed limiter

disappears.

This setting becomes the new limit speed.

To modify the limit speed setting from the

speed suggested by the vehicle Speed Limit

recognition and recommendation:

F the speed suggested is displayed in the

instrument panel,

F make a first press on button 5; a message

is displayed to confirm the memorisation

request,

F press button 5 again to save the suggested

speed.

The speed displays immediately in the

instrument panel as the new speed setting.

Malfunction

Flashing of the dashes indicates a fault with the

speed limiter.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or

a qualified workshop.

Cruise control "CRUISE"

System which automatically

maintains the speed of the vehicle

at the value programmed by the

driver, without any action on the

accelerator pedal.

148

Driving

Operation of the cruise control requires

a vehicle speed of at least 25 mph (40 km/h).

As well as engagement:

Steering mounted controls

Displays in the instrument panel

of third gear or higher with a manual

gearbox,

of second gear or higher in manual mode

with an automatic gearbox,

of position D with an automatic gearbox.

The cruise control is paused manually by

pressing button 4 or pressing the brake pedal

or if the ESC system is invoked for safety

reasons.

1. Select cruise control mode.

2. Set the current speed as the cruise speed

It is possible to exceed the programmed speed

temporarily by depressing the accelerator

pedal.

To return to the programmed speed, simply

release the accelerator pedal until the

programmed cruise speed is reached again.

For more information on Speed Limit

recognition and recommendation and its

memorisation, refer to the corresponding

Switching off the ignition cancels any

programmed speed setting.

Switching on

F Turn wheel 1 to the CRUISE position: cruise

control mode is selected but the function is

paused.

The cruise control system cannot, in any circumstances,

replace the need to observe speed limits, nor can it

replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.

It is recommended that you always keep your feet close

to the pedals.

149

Driving

To modify the cruise speed setting using

memorised speed settings and from the touch

screen:

F press button 5 to display the memorised

speed settings,

F press the button for the desired speed

setting.

The selection screen closes after a few

moments.

F Press button 2 or 3: your vehicle's current

speed becomes the cruise speed.

The cruise control is activated (ON).

Switching off

F Turn wheel 1 to the 0 position. The display

of information related to the cruise control

disappears.

Pause

You can temporarily stop the speed limiter by

pressing button 4 again: the display confirms

that it has been stopped (Pause).

Operating fault

Flashing of the dashes indicates a fault with the

cruise control.

This setting becomes the new cruise speed.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or

a qualified workshop.

To modify the cruise speed setting using

the speed suggested by the Speed Limit

recognition and recommendation system:

F the speed suggested is displayed in the

instrument panel,

F make a first press on button 5; a message

is displayed to confirm the memorisation

request,

F press button 5 again to save the suggested

speed.

The speed displays immediately in the

instrument panel as the new speed setting.

Modifying the cruise speed

setting

The cruise control must be active.

To modify the cruise 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,

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

press and hold button 2 or 3.

Take care: pressing and holding button

2 or 3 results in a rapid change in the

speed of your vehicle.

Exceeding the programmed

speed

If the speed setting is exceeded, the displayed

speed flashes.

The display becomes steady again once the

speed of the vehicle has reached the level of

the speed setting again.

As a precaution, it is recommended

that the cruise speed chosen be close

to the current speed of your vehicle, so

as to avoid any sudden acceleration or

deceleration of the vehicle.

Principles of operation

Adaptive cruise control

When the cruise control is switched on, be

careful if you maintain the pressure on one

of the programmed speed modification

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.

When descending a steep hill, the cruise

control system cannot prevent the vehicle

from exceeding the programmed speed.

On steep climbs or when towing, the

programmed speed may not be reached

or maintained.

Using radar with a range of about 100 metres,

located at the front of the vehicle, this system

detects a vehicle travelling in front of your

vehicle.

It automatically adapts the speed of your

vehicle to that of the vehicle in front.

If the vehicle in front is travelling more slowly,

the system progressively reduces the speed of

your vehicle using just engine braking (as if the

driver had pressed the "-" button).

If your vehicle is too close to the vehicle in

front or is approaching it too quickly, adaptive

cruise control is automatically deactivated.

The driver is then alerted by an audible signal

accompanied by a message.

The system allows the speed of

your vehicle to be maintained at the

setting you have made, and also to

respect the inter-vehicle time that

you have selected between your

vehicle and the one in front, when

the situation permits it.

Switching between the

types of cruise control

The use of mats not approved by

CITROËN may interfere with the operation

of the cruise control.

The choice between "adaptive" and "standard"

cruise control is made in the Driving menu.

To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:

If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes

lane, the adaptive cruise control gradually

accelerates your vehicle to return to the

programmed speed.

ensure that mats are secured correctly,

never fit one mat on top of another.

Turn the cruise control wheel to

the "CRUISE" position.

If the driver operates the direction indicator to

the left (left-hand drive) or to the right (right-

hand drive), to overtake a slower vehicle, the

adaptive cruise control allows your vehicle to

temporarily approach the vehicle in front to

assist the overtaking manoeuvre, though never

exceeding the programmed speed.

F In the Driving menu, select the Driving

functions tab and then Active cruise

control to activate or deactivate adaptive

cruise control.

For more information on the Cruise

control, refer to the corresponding

section.

The adaptive cruise control operates

by day and at night, in fog or moderate

rainfall.
