Citroen C3: Driving / Speed limiter

Refer to the General recommendations on the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.

This system prevents the vehicle from exceeding the speed programmed by the driver (speed setting).

The speed limiter is switched on manually. The minimum speed setting is 19 mph (30 km/h). The speed setting remains in the system memory when the ignition is switched off.

Steering-mounted control

1. ON (LIMIT position) / OFF (position 0)
2. Reduce the speed setting
3. Increase the speed setting
4. Pause / resume speed limiter with the speed setting previously stored
5. Use the speed suggested by the Speed Limit Recognition and Recommendation (MEM display)

For more information on the Speed Limit Recognition and Recommendation, refer to the corresponding section.

Information displayed on the instrument panel

6. Speed limiter on/pause
7. Speed limiter mode selected
8. Programmed speed value
9. Speed suggested by the Speed Limit recognition and recommendation system

Switching on/pausing

• Turn thumbwheel 1 to the "LIMIT"position to select speed limiter mode; the function is paused.
• If the limit speed setting is suitable (most recent speed setting programmed in the system), press button 4 to switch the speed limiter on.
• Pressing button 4 again temporarily interrupts the function (pause).

When the speed setting remains below the vehicle's speed for a prolonged period of time, an audible warning is emitted.

Adjusting the limit speed setting

You do not have to switch the speed limiter on in order to set the speed.

To modify the limit speed setting based on the vehicle’s current speed:

• Briefly press button 2 or 3 to change the value in steps of + or - 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
• Press and hold button 2 or 3 to change the value in steps of + or - 5 mph (8 km/h).

To change the limit speed setting based on the speed suggested by the Speed Limit Recognition and Recommendation:

• the suggested speed is displayed on the instrument panel,
• press button 5 once; a message is displayed, confirming the memorisation request,
• press button 5 again to save the suggested speed.

The speed is immediately displayed as the new speed setting on the instrument panel.

Temporarily exceeding the speed setting

• Fully depress the accelerator pedal.

The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the displayed speed setting flashes.

• Release the accelerator pedal to return to below the programmed speed.

When the limit speed is exceeded other than as a result of action by the driver (on a steep slope, for example), an audible signal triggers immediately.

On a steep descent or in the event of sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will not be able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding the speed setting.

If necessary, use the brakes to control the speed of your vehicle.

Once the speed of the vehicle returns to the speed setting, the speed limiter resumes operation: the display of the speed setting becomes fixed again.

Switching off

• Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the "OFF" position: the display of information on the speed limiter disappears.

Malfunction

The display of dashes (flashing then fixed) indicates a fault with the speed limiter.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
