Steering mounted controls

CRUISE CONTROL "CRUISE"

On vehicles fi tted with an automatic

gearbox, the lever must be in

position D (Drive) or at least 2nd gear

must be engaged in manual mode.

Function selected,
displaying of the

"Cruise Control"

symbol.

Function deactivated,
OFF (example at

65 mph (107 km/h)).

Function activated
(example at 65 mph

(107 km/h)).

Vehicle speed above

(e.g. 70 mph

(118 km/h)),
the programmed

speed is displayed

fl ashing.

Operating fault

detected,
OFF - the dashes

fl ash.

This cruise control shows the function

selection status on the instrument

panel and displays the programmed

speed:

"This is the speed at which the driver

wishes to drive".
This aid to driving in free-fl owing

traffi c enables the vehicle to maintain

the speed programmed by the driver,

unless a steep gradient makes this

impossible.
In order for it to be programmed or

activated, the vehicle speed must be

greater than 25 mph (40 km/h) with at

least 4th gear engaged in the case of

vehicles fi tted with a manual gearbox.

If the vehicle is fi tted with a speed

limiter and cruise control (according

to the country in which the vehicle is

sold and the engine), these functions

cannot be activated at the same time.

Good practice

When changing the programmed

reference speed by means of a

maintained press, pay attention as

the speed can increase or decrease

rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on

slippery roads or in heavy traffi c.
In the event of a steep slope, the cruise

control cannot prevent the vehicle from

exceeding the programmed speed.
In any event, the cruise control cannot

replace the need to observe the 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.
To avoid any jamming under the

pedals:
-

ensure that the mat and its fi xings

on the fl oor are positioned correctly,

never place one mat on top of

another

after switching off the ignition, the

system no longer memorises a speed.

Steering wheel controls

EASE OF USE and COMFORT

SPEED LIMITER "LIMIT"

To resume use of the limiter, simply

reduce the pressure on the accelerator

pedal gradually and return to a speed

below that programmed.
If the vehicle is fi tted with a speed

limiter and cruise control (according

to the country in which the vehicle is

sold and the engine), these functions

cannot be activated at the same time .
The operating actions can be carried

out when stationary, with the engine

running, or with the vehicle moving.

Function selected,

displaying of the

"Speed Limiter"

symbol.

Function deactivated,

speed - OFF

(example at 65 mph

(107 km/h)).

Function activated

(example at 65 mph

(107 km/h)).

Vehicle speed above

(example at 70 mph

(118 km/h)),

the programmed

speed is displayed

fl ashing.

Operating fault

detected, OFF -

the dashes fl ash.

This speed limiter shows the function

selection status on the instrument

panel and displays the programmed

speed:

"This is the selected speed which the

driver does not wish to exceed".
This selection is made with the engine

running while stationary or with the

vehicle moving. The minimum speed

which can be programmed is 20 mph

(30 km/h).
The speed of the vehicle responds

to the pressure of the driver's foot as

far as the accelerator pedal point of

resistance which indicates that the

programmed speed has been reached.
However, pressing the pedal beyond

this point of resistance to the fl oor

permits exceeding of the programmed

speed.

Steering mounted controls

Selecting the function

Place the dial in the LIMIT position.

The limiter is selected but is not yet

active. The display indicates the

last programmed speed.

Programming a speed

A speed can be programmed without

activating the limiter but with the

engine running.
To memorise a speed higher than the

previous one:
-

press the Set + button.

A brief press increases the speed by

1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press increases the

speed in steps of 5 mph (km/h).

Activation/Deactivation (off)

Pressing this button once activates

the limiter, pressing the button again

deactivates it (OFF).

To memorise a speed lower than the

previous one:
-

press the Set - button.

A brief press decreases the speed by

1 mph (km/h).

Steering wheel controls

EASE OF USE and COMFORT

Switching the function off

Place the dial in position 0 or switch

off the ignition to switch the system

off. The last programmed speed

remains in the memory.

Exceeding the programmed

speed

Pressing the accelerator pedal in order

to exceed the programmed speed

will have no effect unless you press

the pedal fi rmly beyond the point of

resistance .
The limiter is deactivated temporarily

and the programmed speed fl ashes.
To return to the limiter function, reduce

your speed to below the programmed

speed.

Operating fault

The programmed speed is cleared and

the dashes fl ash for a few seconds.
Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the

system checked.

Flashing of the speed
The speed fl ashes:
-

following forcing of the accelerator

point of resistance,

when the limiter cannot prevent an

increase in the vehicle speed due

to the profi le of the road or on a

steep descent,

in the event of sharp acceleration.

Good practice
In any event, the speed limiter cannot

replace the need to observe speed limits,

nor can it replace the need for vigilance

and responsibility on the part of the driver.
Always pay attention to the profi le of the

road, take care on sharp acceleration and

stay in complete control of your vehicle.

To avoid any jamming under the

pedals:
-

ensure that the mat and its fi xings

positioned correctly,

never place one mat on top of

another.

Ventilation

VENTILATION

CORRECT USE OF THE
VENTILATION AND AIR
CONDITIONING

Vents

"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion

of hot or cool air in the passenger

compartment, there are adjustable

central and side vents which can be

directed sideways (right or left) towards

the top of the body. For your comfort

while driving, do not close them, direct

the fl ow of air towards the windows

instead.
The air vents directed towards the fl oor

of the vehicle complete the equipment.

Passenger compartment filter,

carbon filter

Ensure that this fi lter is in good

condition and have all of the fi lter

elements replaced regularly.

Refer to the "Checks" section of

chapter 6.

Air conditioning

In all seasons, the air conditioning

should only be used with the windows

closed. However, if the interior

temperature remains high after a

prolonged period parked in the sun, do

not hesitate to ventilate the passenger

compartment for a few minutes.
Use the AUTO mode as much as

possible as it permits optimised

control of all of the functions: air fl ow,

passenger compartment comfort

temperature, air distribution, air

intake mode or air recirculation in the

passenger compartment.
Operate the air conditioning system for

5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,

to keep it in perfect working order.
It is normal that the condensation

created by the air conditioning system

results in a fl ow of water which may

form a puddle under the vehicle when

parked.
If the system does not produce cold air,

do not use it and consult a CITROËN

dealer.
