Before

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,
e
ven if the true inter-vehicle time is less.
The active cruise control must not
b
e selected (the active cruise control
i
nformation is displayed instead of that
f
or the inter-vehicle time).
The system is only available with the
"
DRIVING" display mode of the
type 2 instrument panel.

Once the speed conditions are met, a symbol is displayed in the instrument panel.

the speed of your vehicle is outside the operating range.
Where
the speed is not suitable, a message is displayed while the speed is outside limits
(
below 42 mph (70 km/h) or above 93 mph (150 km/h), approximately). However, when
d
ecelerating, the system is deactivated below 27 mph (45 km/h).
"SYSTEM

Operating limits
In the event of a fault with the system, this warning lamp is displayed a
ccompanied 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
r
epair, a message may be displayed
i
ndicating that the system is initialising.
T
he system is not available while this is
i

d
isappear, contact a CITROËN dealer
o

operation of the radar, located in
t
he front bumper, may be disturbed by
a
ccumulations of grime (dust, mud...) o

The
message "SYSTEM INACTIVE:
