Reactivation
Press this button again.
Operating fault
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall.
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come on.
Depending on version, an alert message may
also be displa
yed, asking you to place the gear
selector lever in position Nand put your foot on
the brake pedal.
It is then necessar

The system is active again; this is confirmed by the indicator lamp in thebutton going off and illumination of
this symbol.
The Stop & Start system makes use of advanced technology. For any work onthe system go to a qualified workshop with the skills and equipment required, which a CITROËN dealer is able toprovide.
Before doing anything under the bonnet,deactivate the Stop & Start system toavoid any risk of injury resulting fromautomatic operation of STA R T m o d e .
Maintenance
This system requires a 12 V battery with a special specification and technology (reference numbers available from CITROËN dealers).
Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN introduces the risk of malfunction of
the system.
For charging, use a 12 V charger and do not
reverse the polarity.

Driving
The vehicle being followed may not be detected
in cer tain conditions such as, for example:
- when turnin
g,
- when changing lane,
- when the vehicle in front is out of the range
of the sensor (maximum range: around
100 m).
Operating limits
In the event of a fault with the system,
this warning lamp is displayed
accompanied by a message.
Operating fault
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
At the first use of the system after repair, a message may be displayedindicating that the system is initialising. The system is not available while this is in progress. As soon as the message disappears the system is operationalagain. If the message does notdisappear, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
The operation of the radar, located in the front bumper, may be disturbed by accumulations of grime (dust, mud...) or in certain weather conditions (snow, ice...).
The message "SYSTEM INACTIVE:Visibility reduced" is displayed to signal that the system has been put intostandby.
Clean the front bumper regularly.

Driving
In the event of the presence of a vehicle detected by the radar, if thespeed selected is much higher than the speed of that vehicle, the systemis not activated and the aler t message "Activation not possible, conditions unsuitable" is displayed until driving conditions are safe to allow activation of the system.
Exceeding the programmed
speed
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by depressing the accelerator pedal. Simply release the accelerator pedal to return to the programmed speed.
If the programmed speed is unintentionally
exceeded, descending a steep hill for example,
the speed setting in the instrument panel
flashes as a warning. The in
formation is grouped together in the
instrument panel.

Collision risk alert
System providing a warning to the driver that their vehicle is at risk of collision with the vehicle in front.
The collision risk aler t system can be activated
or deactivated b
y the driver.
From the secondary page of the " Drivingassistance" menu: )
select the " Vehicle settings
" menu, )
check the "Collision risk alert" line andconfirm.
This system has been designed to improve driving safety.
It is the responsibility of the driver to keep a constant check on the state of the traffic, to assess the relative speedand distance of other vehicles. The collision risk aler t system can never replace the vigilance and responsibilityof the driver.
This system operates from 20 mph (30 km/h), only when other vehicles are running in the same direction as your vehicle; the system does not detect stationary objects. A radar is fitted at the front of the vehicle.
The aler t thresholds determine how
you want to
be aler ted to the presence of a vehicle running
in front of you.
You can choose from three thresholds:
- 1: "Distant", to be given an early alert
(cautious driving).
- 2: "Normal".
- 3: "Close", to be given a later aler t (sportydriving).
Setting the thresholds for
the alert
This function can be deactivatedpermanently by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.

Lane departure warning system
System which, using a camera which
recognises solid or broken lines, detects the
involuntary crossing of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the ground.
To provide safe driving, the camera analyses
the image then, if the driver's attention drops,
triggers a warning if the vehicle drifts over
a lane marking (speed higher than 50 mph (80 km/h)).
This system is par ticularly useful on motor waysand main roads. A
ctivation and deactivation of the function is done in the " Driving assistance
" menu of the
touch screen tablet.
Activation / deactivation
The driver is aler ted by vibration of the seat belt (at the level of the reel):
No warning is transmitted while the direction indicator is active and for approximately 20 seconds after the direction indicator is switched off.
Detection - alert
The lane depar ture warning systemcannot, in any circumstances, replacethe need for vigilance and responsibility on the par t of the driver.
)Press this button, the indicator lampcomes on. The function is activated )
Press this button again, the
indicator lamp goes off. Thefunction is deactivated
The detection may be impeded:
- if the markings on the ground are worn,
- if there is little contrast between themarkings on the ground and the road surface,
- if the windscreen is dir ty,
- in certain severe weather conditions: fog, heavy rain, snow,bright sunlight or direct exposure to the sun (low sun, leaving a tunnel, ...) and shade. In the event o
f a fault, this warninglamp comes on accompanied by anaudible signal and a message.
Operating fault
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The status of the s
ystem remains in the
memory when the ignition is switched off.

Blind spot sensors
A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on
the side in question:
-
immediately, when being over taken,
- after a delay of about one second, whenover taking a vehicle slowly. This drivin
g assistance system warns the driver
of the presence of another vehicle in the blind
spot angle of their vehicle (areas masked from
the driver's field of vision), as soon as thispresents a potential danger.
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpersmonitor the blind spots.
This system is designed to improve safety when driving and is in no circumstances a substitute for the use of the interior rear view mirror and door mirrors. It is the driver'sresponsibility to constantly check the traffic, to asses the distances and relative speeds of other vehicles and to predict their movements before deciding whether to change lane.
The blind spot sensor system can never replace the vigilance and responsibility of thedriver.
Activation of the system is done in the " Driving assistance
" menu, with the ignition on.
)
Press this button to activate the
function; the associated indicator lamp comes on.
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel.

Driving
To deactivate the system, press
this button a
gain; its indicator lamp goes off as well as theassociated indicator in the
instrument panel. In the event of a fault, the warnin
g
lamp flashes then goes off.
Operating fault
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.
The system is automatically deactivated when towing with a towbar approved by CITROËN.
The system may suffer temporary interference in certain weather conditions (rain, hail...).
In par ticular, driving on a wet surface or moving from a dry area to a wet area can cause false alerts (for example, the presence of a fog of water droplets in the blind spot angle is interpreted as avehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure thatthe sensors are not covered by mud, iceor snow. Take care not to cover the warning zone in the door mirrors or the detectionzones on the front and rear bumpers with adhesive labels or other objects;they may hamper the correct operation of the system. The state o
f the system remains in memory on switching off the ignition.
High pressure jet wash When washing your vehicle, direct the lance at least 30 cm away from the sensors.
