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
- ON (LIMIT position) / OFF (position 0)
- Reduce the speed setting
- Increase the speed setting
- Pause / resume speed limiter with the speed
setting previously stored
- 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
- Speed limiter on/pause
- Speed limiter mode selected
- Programmed speed value
- 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.
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
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:
Speed limit signs detected by the camera...
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...
Other information:
Driving with a trailer
places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
Respect the maximum
towable weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the density
of the air decreases with altitude and the
performance of the engine reduces...
Observe the following recommendations to avoid
damaging your vehicle.
Exterior
Never use a high-pressure
jet wash in
the engine compartment, due to the risk
of damaging electrical components.
Do not wash the vehicle in strong sunshine or
extremely cold conditions...
