Safety

Operation
When your vehicle is too close to or
approaches  the   vehicle   ahead   too   quickly   the  
s

ystem   automatically   applies   the   brakes   to  
a

void   a   collision. The
  collision   can   be   avoided   automatically   if   the d
ifference   in   speed   between   your   vehicle   and   the v

ehicle   ahead   does   not   exceed   9   mph   (15   km/h).
Above
  this   threshold,   the   system   will   do   what
 i

s   possible   to   avoid   or   reduce   the   accident   by
 l

owering   the   speed   of   impact.
The
  automatic   braking   may   bring   the   vehicle   to  
a

  complete   stop   if   the   situation   requires   it.
In
  this   case,   the   vehicle   is   held   stationary  
t

emporarily   (for   about   1.5   seconds)   to   allow  
t

he   driver   to   take   back   control   by   pressing   the  
b

rake
 ped
al.
You
  are   then   alerted   by   the   display   of   a  
m

essage.
The
  brake   lamps   on   your   vehicle   come   on   to  
w

arn   other   road   users.
After
  an   impact,   the   system   is  
a

utomatically   put   out   of   service:   it   no

You
  must   go   to   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified   workshop   to   have   the   system  
m

ade   operational   again.
During
  automatic   braking,   the   driver  
c

an   always   obtain   a   higher   rate   of  
d

eceleration   than   that   controlled   by   the  
s

ystem,   by   pressing   firmly   on   the   brake  
ped

al.
The
  triggering   of   the   system   may   cause  
t

he   engine   to   stall,   unless   the   driver  
d

epresses   the   clutch   pedal   quickly  
e

nough   during   automatic   braking.

deactivation
The system is deactivated in the vehicle configuration   menu,   accessible   with   the   ignition   on.
Its state is memorised when the ignition is switched   off.

Operating faults
In the event of an impact to the windscreen   at   the   sensor,   deactivate  
t

he   system   and   contact   a   CITROËN  
d

ealer   or   a   qualified   workshop to   have  
y

our   windscreen   replaced.
Never
  try   to   remove,   adjust   or   test  
t

he sensor.
Only
  a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified
 w

orkshop   is   able   to   work   on   the   system.
When
  towing   a   trailer   or   when   the  
v

ehicle   is   being   towed,   the   system   must  
b

e   deactivated.
Do not stick or other wise fix any object on the   windscreen   in   front   of   the   sensor.
Sensor fault
The operation of the laser sensor may suffer inter ference   from   accumulations   of   dirt   or  
m

isting   of   the   windscreen.   In   this   case   you   are  
w

arned   by   the   display   of   a   message.
Use
  the   windscreen   demisting   and   regularly  
c

lean   the   area   of   the   windscreen   in   front   of   the  
sen

sor.
System fault
In the event of a malfunction of the system, you are   warned   by   an   audible   signal   and   the   display  
o

f   the   message   "Automatic braking system
fault" .
Have
  the   system   checked   by   a   CITROËN  
d

ealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
