Driving

Speed Limit recognition

Sensors

Maintenance

Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and

the field of vision of the cameras regularly.

When washing your vehicle at high

pressure, direct the spray from at least

30 cm away from the radar, sensors and

cameras.

and recommendation

Refer to the General recommendations on

the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.

The operation of the sensors as well as

the associated functions may be disturbed

by sound interference such as those

emitted by noisy vehicles and machinery

(e.g. lorries, pneumatic drills), by the

accumulation of snow or dead leaves

on the road or in the event of damaged

bumpers and mirrors.

A front or rear impact to the vehicle can

upset the sensors' settings, which is not

always detected by the system: distance

measurements may be distorted.

Mats

The use of mats not approved by

CITROËN may interfere with the operation

of the speed limiter or cruise control.

To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:

F ensure that the mat is secured

correctly,

This system displays the maximum authorised

speed in the instrument panel, according to

the speed limits in the country in which you are

driving, using:

F never fit one mat on top of another.

Speed limit signs detected by the camera.

Speed limit details from the navigation

system mapping.

The sensors do not detect obstacles that

are too low (pavements, studs) or too thin

(trees, posts, wire fences).

Units of speed

Ensure that the units of speed displayed

on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are

those for the country you are driving in.

If this is not the case, when the vehicle is

stationary, set the display to the required

units of speed so that it complies with

what is authorised locally.

Certain obstacles located in the sensors'

blind spots may not be detected or may no

longer be detected during the manoeuvre.

Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound

waves: pedestrians may not be detected.

You should update your navigation

mapping regularly in order to receive

accurate speed limit information from the

system.

In case of doubt, contact a CITROËN

dealer or a qualified workshop.

Speed limit in rain

Examples:

If the wiper control stalk is in the "intermittent wipe" or "automatic wipe" position (in order to

activate the rain sensor):

68 mph (110 km/h) (for example)

Speed limit if towing

If an approved towing device is fixed to the vehicle:

56 mph (90 km/h) (for example)

Speed limit applicable over a certain distance 43 mph (70 km/h) (for example)

Example:

138

Driving

Speed limit for vehicles whose gross vehicle

weight or gross train weight is less than

3.5 tonnes

56 mph (90 km/h) (for example)

Speed limit in snow

Example:

If the exterior temperature is below 3°C:

19 mph (30 km/h) (for example)

with a "snowflake" symbol

Speed limit at certain times

Example:

19 mph (30 km/h) (for example)

with a "clock" symbol

The units for the speed limits (mph or

km/h) depend on the country you are

driving in.

It should be taken into account so that you

observe the speed limit.

For the system to operate correctly when

you change country, the units for speed in

the instrument panel must be those for the

country you are driving in.

The automatic reading of road signs is

a driving aid system and does not always

display speed limits correctly.

The speed limit signs present on the road

always take priority in comparison with the

display by the system.

The system is designed to detect signs

that conform to the Vienna Convention on

road signs.

Specific speed limits, such as those for

heavy goods vehicles, are not displayed.

The display of the speed limit in the

instrument panel is updated as you pass

a speed limit sign intended for cars (light

vehicles).

Driving

The following situations may interfere with

the operation of the system or prevent it from

working:

Activation/Deactivation

By default, the system is automatically

activated at every engine start.

falling snow, rain, fog),

On detection of speed limit information, the

system displays the value.

The function is activated and

deactivated in the Driving/Vehicle

menu of the touch screen.

windscreen area located in front of the

camera dirty, misted, frost-covered, snow-

covered, damaged or covered by a sticker,

fault with the camera,

obsolete or incorrect mapping,

obstructed road signs (by other vehicles,

vegetation, snow),

Displays in the instrument panel

speed limit signs that do not conform to the

standard, are damaged or distorted.

For a suggested maximum speed, the first

time that the vehicle's speed exceeds it by

more than 3 mph (5 km/h) (example: 59 mph

(95 km/h)), the speed flashes for 10 seconds.

Recommendation
