Citroen C3: Driving / Cruise control - particular recommendations
For the safety of everyone,
only use the
cruise control where the driving
conditions allow running at a constant speed
and keeping an adequate safety distance.
Remain vigilant when the cruise control
is activated. If you hold one of the speed
setting modification buttons down, a very
rapid change in the speed of your vehicle may
occur.
When descending a steep hill, the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the set speed. Brake if
necessary to control the speed of your
vehicle.
On steep climbs or when towing, the set
speed may not be reached or maintained.
Exceeding the
programmed speed
setting
You can temporarily exceed the speed
setting by pressing the accelerator pedal (the
programmed speed flashes).
To return to the speed setting, release the
accelerator pedal (when the set speed is
reached again, the displayed speed stops
flashing).
Operating limits
Never use the system in the following
situations:
- In an urban area with the risk of
pedestrians crossing the road.
- In heavy traffic (except versions with the
Stop & Go function).
- On winding or steep roads.
- On slippery or flooded roads.
- In poor weather conditions.
- Driving on a speed circuit.
- Driving on a rolling road.
- When using snow chains, non-slip covers
or studded tyres.

use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
This system prevents the vehicle

Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids and to
Cruise control - particular recommendations.
This system automatically keeps
the

programmed by the driver (speed setting),
without using the accelerator pedal...
