Driving
Exceeding the programmed
speed
The accelerator pedal has a stiff point at the
end of its travel. To exceed the maximum speed
setting at any time, you can press the pedal
all the way down. While the speed is being
exceeded, the speed displayed in zone A will
flash. Simply release the accelerator pedal to
return below the maximum speed and restore
the limiter function.
The speed will also flash if the speed limiter is
not able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding
the programmed speed setting (e.g. on a steep
descent or under excessive acceleration).
To reactivate the speed limiter, release the
accelerator to slow to a speed lower than the
programmed speed.

Operating fault
If there is a fault, a message is displayed
accompanied by an audible signal and
illumination of the SERVICE warning lamp.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In the event of a steep descent or
under excessive acceleration, the
speed limiter (which does not act
on the brakes) may not be able to
prevent the vehicle from exceeding the
programmed speed.
Use of a floor mat other than that
recommended by CITROËN may affect
the normal operation of the accelerator
pedal and hamper the operation of the
speed limiter.
Floor mats approved by CITROËN
are fitted with a 3rd fixing located in
the pedal area to avoid any risk of
interference with the pedals.
