Before switching off the engine, you can change   to   position   P or N   to   be   in   neutral.  
I

n   either   case,   apply   the   parking   brake   to  
i

mmobilise   the   vehicle,   unless   it   is   programmed

n   automatic   mode.
If the lever is not in position P ,
  on   opening   the  
d

river's   door   or   approximately   45   seconds   after  
s

witching   off   the   ignition   there   is   an   audible  
s

Operating fault
Whenever parking, you must apply the parking brake   to   immobilise   the   vehicle,   if   automatic  
o

peration   has   been   deactivated.
Parking the vehicle
In all circumstances, ensure that the gear   selector   is   in   position   P before
leaving
  your   vehicle. In the event of a fault with the

Maintenance
This system requires a 12 V battery with a special   specification   and   technology   (reference  
n

umbers   available   from   CITROËN   dealers).
Fitting
  a   battery   not   listed   by   CITROËN  
i

ntroduces   the   risk   of   malfunction   of   the  
s

ystem.
For
  charging,   use   a   12   V   charger   and   do   not  
r

everse   the   polarity.

Display of inter-vehicle time
Using a radar located at the front of the vehicle, this   system   helps   the   driver   maintain   a   safe  
d

istance   between   their   vehicle   and   the   one   in  
f

ront,   by   displaying   the   current   inter-vehicle  
t

ime   in   the   instrument   panel.
It
  is   the   time   interval,   expressed   in   seconds,  
t

hat   separates   two   vehicles   in   line.   The  
r

ecommended   safe   value   is   about   2   seconds:  
r

efer   to   the   legislation   or   highway   code   in   force  
i

n   your   country.Conditions for display
The measurement is displayed for information   only:   the   system   takes   no a

ction   on   the   vehicle.
This
  system   does   not   in   any
 c

ircumstances   replace   the   need   for
 v

igilance   on   the   part   of   the   driver   who
 m

ust   remain   in   control   of   the   vehicle   at
 a

ll   times.
The
  system   is   not   designed   for   urban
 u

se
 
nor
 
for
 
more
 
dynamic
 
driving
 
(bends,
 a

cceleration,   harsh   braking…)   but   rather
 w

hen   driving   at   a   steady   speed.
The
  system   is   active   in   a   speed   range  
b

etween   42   and   93   mph   (70   and  
1

50 km/h).
Stationary   vehicles   and   certain   other  
r

oad   users   (such   as   bicycles   for  
e

xample)   are   not   detected.
The   system   displays   inter-vehicle   time  
v

alues   of   between   3   seconds   and   0.5   of  
a

  second.
Below   0.5   of   a   second,   the   value  
d

isplayed   is   maintained   at   this   level,

ven   if   the   true   inter-vehicle   time   is   less.
The   active   cruise   control   must   not
