Citroen C3: Cruise control / Temporarily exceeding the programmed speed. Switching off. Malfunction
Temporarily exceeding the programmed speed
If needed (when overtaking, for example) it is
possible to exceed the programmed speed by
pressing the accelerator pedal.
Cruise control is temporarily deactivated and the
programmed speed displayed flashes.
To return to the programmed speed, release the
accelerator pedal.
Once the vehicle has returned to the
programmed speed, the cruise control resumes
operation: the display of the programmed speed
becomes fixed again.
When descending a steep
hill, the cruise
control system cannot prevent the
vehicle from exceeding the programmed
speed.
You may have to brake to control the speed of
your vehicle. In this case, the cruise control is
automatically paused.
To activate the system again, with the vehicle
speed above 25 mph (40 km/h), press button 4.
Switching off
- Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the "OFF" position:
the cruise control information disappears from
the screen.
Malfunction

The display of dashes (flashing then fixed)
indicates a malfunction with the cruise control
system.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Switching on/pausing
Turn thumbwheel 1 to the "CRUISE" position
to select cruise control mode; the function is

speed is saved as the speed setting...
