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.

Switching the function off
-
Place the dial in position 0 or switch
off the ignition to switch everything
off.
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
Changing the
programmed speed
There are two methods
of memorising a
speed higher than the
previous one:
Without using the accelerator:
-
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).
Operating fault
The programmed speed is cleared and
the dashes fl ash for a few seconds.
Consult a CITROËN dealer to have the
system checked.
Using the accelerator:
-
exceed the memorised speed until
the speed required is reached,
-
press the Set + or Set - button.
To memorise a speed lower than the
previous one:
-
press the Set - button.
A brief press decreases the speed by
1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press decreases the
speed in steps of 5 mph (km/h).
Cancelling the programmed
reference speed

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,
last programmed
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.

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:
-

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.
