Cruise control - "CRUISE"
System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control system cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to observe speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Y ou   are   advised   to   keep   your   feet   near   the   pedals   at   all   times.
Switching on the cruise control requires a
minimum   vehicle   speed   of   25   mph   (40   km/h).
As
  well   as   engagement   of:
-
 
f
ourth   gear   or   higher   on   a   manual   gearbox,
-

-
position D
  on   an   automatic   gearbox.
The
  system   remains   active   after   changing   gear  
o

n   vehicles   with   a   manual   gearbox   and  
Stop
  &   Start.
The cruise control is paused
 

by   pressing  
b

utton 4   or   the   brake   pedal   or   on   triggering   of  
t

he   ESC   system   for   safety   reasons.
It
  is   possible   to   exceed   the   programmed   speed  
t

emporarily   by   pressing   the   accelerator   pedal.
To

Flashing of the dashes indicates a fault with the cruise   control.
Have
  it   checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w
orkshop.
Operating faultWhen the cruise control is switched on,
be careful if you maintain the pressure
on  one   of   the   programmed   speed  
c

hanging   buttons:   this   may   result   in   a  
v

ery   rapid   change   in   the   speed   of   your  
v

ehicle.
Do not use the cruise control on
slippery
  roads   or   in   heavy   traffic.
On a steep descent, the cruise control
will not be able to prevent the vehicle
from
  exceeding   the   programmed   speed.
On
  steep   climbs   or   when   towing,   the  
p

rogrammed   speed   may   not   be   reached  
o

r   maintained.
The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with the
operation
  of   the   cruise   control.
To
  avoid   any   risk   of   jamming   of   the  
ped

als:
-

e
nsure that the mat is secured
c o r r e c t l y,
-
 
n
ever   fit   one   mat   on   top   of   another.

Dynamic cruise control
System that allows, in addition to maintaining your vehicle's speed at a value that you have defined, the inter-vehicle time you have selected between your   vehicle   and   the   one   in   front   to   be   maintained.
Principles of operation
Using a radar with a range of about 100 metres, located at the front of the vehicle, this system
detects
  a   vehicle   running   in   front   of   your  
v

ehicle.
It automatically adapts the speed of the vehicle
to
  that   of   the   vehicle   in   front.
If
  the   vehicle   in   front   is   running   more   slowly,  
t

he   system   progressively   reduces   the   speed   of  
y

our   vehicle   using   just   engine   braking   (as   if   the  
d

river had pressed the " -"
  button).
If
  your   vehicle   is   too   close   to   or   approaching  
t

oo   quickly   the   vehicle   in   front,   the   dynamic  
c

ruise   control   is   automatically   deactivated.  
T

he   driver   is   then   alerted   by   an   audible   signal,  
a

ccompanied   by   a   message.
Choice of the type of cruise control
The choice between the "dynamic" and
"standard" cruise control is done in the Driving
menu.
F

I
n the Driving menu, select the " Driving
assistance " tab, then "Dynamic cruise
control" to activate or deactivate the
dynamic
  cruise   control.
For more information on the Cruise
control ,
  refer   to   the   corresponding  
s

ection.F

P
lace the cruise control
thumbwheel
  at   "CRUISE". If
  the   vehicle   in   front   accelerates   or   changes  l
ane,   the   dynamic   cruise   control   progressively  
a

ccelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed
 s

peed.
If the driver operates a direction indicator
to
  the   left   (left   hand   drive)   or   the   right   (right  
h

and   drive),   to   overtake   a   slower   vehicle,   the  
d

ynamic cruise control allows your vehicle to
temporarily approach the vehicle in front to
assist
  the   overtaking   manoeuvre,   though   never  
e

xceeding   the   programmed   speed.
Driving

161
C4-Picasso-II_en_Chap04_conduite_ed01-2016
The dynamic cruise control is switched on
manually:   it   requires   that   the   speed   of   the  
v

ehicle be between 25 and 90 mph (40 and
150 km/h),
  as   well   as   the   engagement   of:
-
 
f
ourth   gear   or   higher   with   a   manual  
g

earbox,
-
 
s
econd   gear   or   higher   with   an   automatic  
g

earbox   in   manual   mode,
-
position D
  with   an   automatic   gearbox.
The
  system   remains   active   after   changing   gear  
o

n   vehicles   with   a   manual   gearbox   and  
Stop
  &   Start.
General points
The dynamic cruise control can be paused
manually o r a utomatically:
-
 
b
y   pressing   button   4,
-
 
b
y   pressing   the   brake   pedal,
-

i
n the event of operation of the ESC, for
safety reasons,
-

i
n the event of operation of the electric
parking
  brake   control   lever,
-

w
hen an inter-vehicle time threshold is
reached
  (calculated   according   to   the  
r

elative speeds of your vehicle and the
vehicle in front and the inter-vehicle time
setting
 c

hosen),
-

w
hen the distance between your vehicle
and the one in front becomes too small,
-

w
hen the speed of the vehicle in front is too
low,
-

w
hen the speed of your vehicle becomes
too
  low.
The dynamic cruise control cannot in any
circumstances replace the observation
of

igilance
 o

n
 
the
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
driver.
It
 
is
 
recommended
 
that
 
you
 
always
 
keep
 y

our
 
feet
 
close
 
to
 
the
 
pedals.
If
 
the
 
speed
 
setting
 
selected
 
is
 
above
 
9

0
 
mph
 
(150
 
km/h),
 
the
 
system
 
switches
 
t

o standard cruise control operation,
with
 
no
 
adjustment
 
of
 
the
 
inter-vehicle
 
s

afe
 
distance
 
(a
 
message
 
appears
 
in
 
t

he
 
instrument
 
panel). The
  inter-vehicle   time   setting   is   kept   in  
m

emory   on   switching   off   the   ignition.
The dynamic cruise control operates by
day
 
and
 
at
 
night,
 
in
 
fog
 
or
 
in
 
moderate
 
r

ainfall.
The system does not act on the braking s ystem,   but   works   only   with   engine   braking.
The
  regulation   range   is   limited:   there   will
 n

o   longer   be   any   adjustment   of   speed   if   the
 d

ifference   between   the   programmed   speed
 s

etting   and   the   speed   of   the   vehicle   in   front
 b

ecomes   too   high   (18   mph   (30   km/h)).
If the difference between the
programmed  speed   setting   and   the  
s

peed of the vehicle in front is too
great,
  the   speed   cannot   be   adjusted:  
t

he cruise control is automatically
deactivated.
