Driving
You may have to brake to control the speed of
your vehicle. In this case, the cruise control is
automatically paused.
To activate the system again, press button
4
.
Only use the cruise control if the traffic
conditions will allow you to drive for a
certain time at a steady speed and at a
safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
Do not activate the cruise control
in urban areas, in heavy traffic, on
winding or steep roads, on slippery
or flooded roads, or in conditions of
poor visibility (heavy rain, fog, falling
snow...).
In some circumstances, it may not
be possible to maintain or reach the
programmed speed: towing, vehicle
heavily loaded, steep climb.
Temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed
When required (overtaking manoeuvre...), it is
possible to exceed the programmed speed by
pressing the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Once the vehicle has returned to the
programmed speed, the cruise control takes
over again: the display of the programmed
speed setting becomes steady again.
When descending a steep hill, the
cruise control system cannot prevent
the vehicle from exceeding the
programmed speed.
Switching off
F
Turn wheel
1 to the "0"
position: the cruise
control information disappears from the
screen.
Operating fault
Flashing dashes indicate a fault with the cruise
control system.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may interfere with the
operation of the cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:
- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,
- never fit one mat on top of another.
The cruise control is temporarily overridden
and the programmed speed setting flashes.
