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

It
 
is
 
recommended
 
that
 
you
 
always

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.

Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with
parking.  It   detects   a   parking   space   then  
o

perates   the   steering   to   park   in   the   space.
It
  operates   the   steering   while   the   driver  
m

anages   the   accelerator,   brakes,   gears   and  
c

lutch   (manual   gearbox).   During   phases   of  
e

ntry   into   and   exit   from   a   parking   space,   the  
s

ystem provides visual and audible information
to
  the   driver   in   order   to   make   the   manoeuvres  
s

afe.   It   may   be   necessary   to   move   for wards  
a

nd   backwards   more   than   once. During
  a   manoeuvre   the   steering  
w

heel   turns   quickly:   do   not   hold   the  
s

teering   wheel,   do   not   place   your   hands  
b

etween   the   spokes   of   the   steering  
w

heel   and   take   care   with   loose   and  
b

ulky   clothing,   scarves,   handbags...  
T

here   is   a   risk   of   injury.
When
  Park   Assist   is   activated,   it  
p

revents   a   change   to   STOP   mode   of  
S

top   &   Start.   In   STOP   mode,   activation  
o

f   Park   Assist   restarts   the   engine.
The
  Park   Assist   system   cannot   in   any  
c

ircumstances replace the need for
vigilance
  on   the   part   of   the   driver.
The driver must remain in control
of
  their   vehicle   ensuring   that   the  
s

pace   remains   clear   throughout   the  
m

anoeuvre.
In some circumstances, the sensors
may not detect small obstacles located
in
  their   blind   spots.
The
  driver   can   take   control   at   any   time   by  
g

ripping   the   steering   wheel. The
  Park   Assist   system   provides   assistance   for  t
he   following   manoeuvres:

Refer
  to   the   manufacturer's  
s

ervice schedule for details of
the replacement interval for this
component.
Oil filterThe presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a specific 12 V lead-acid
battery
  with   special   technology   and
 s

pecification.
 T

he involvement of a CITROËN dealer
or
  a   qualified   workshop   is   essential   when

Other wise,   have   them   checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
Depending   on   the   environment   (e.g.   dusty  
a

tmosphere) and the use of the vehicle
(e.g. city   driving),   replace them twice as often
if necessary .
A   clogged   passenger   compartment   filter   may  
h

ave an adverse effect on the per formance
of   the   air   conditioning   system   and   generate  u
ndesirable o dours.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle
filter
  is   indicated   by   the   fixed  
i

llumination   of   this   warning   lamp  
a

ccompanied   by   a   warning   message.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
