Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without waiting. During   acceleration   change   up   early.
With
  an   automatic   gearbox,   give   preference   to   automatic   mode   and  
a

void   pressing   the   accelerator   pedal   heavily   or   suddenly.
Control the use of your electrical
equipment
Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate   it   by   opening   the   windows   and   air   vents   before   using   the   air  
c

onditioning.
Above
  30   mph   (50   km/h),   close   the   windows   and   leave   the   air   vents  
ope

n.
Remember
  to   make   use   of   equipment   that   can   help   keep   the   temperature
 i

n   the   passenger   compartment   down   (sunroof   and   window   blinds...).
Switch
  off   the   air   conditioning,   unless   it   has   automatic   regulation,   as  
s

oon   as   the   desired   temperature   is   attained.
Switch
  off   the   demisting   and   defrosting   controls,   if   not   automatic.
Switch
  off   the   heated   seat   as   soon   as   possible.
Switch
  off   the   headlamps   and   front   foglamps   when   the   ambient   light  
l

evel   does   not   require   their   use.
Avoid
  running   the   engine   before   moving   off,   particularly   in   winter;   your  
v

ehicle   will   warm   up   much   faster   while   driving.
As
  a   passenger,   if   you   avoid   connecting   your   multimedia   devices  
(

film,   music,   video   game...),   you   will   contribute   towards   limiting   the  
c

onsumption   of   electrical   energy,   and   so   of   fuel.
Disconnect
  your   portable   devices   before   leaving   the   vehicle.
Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather than   the   brake   pedal,   and   press   the   accelerator   progressively.   These  
p

ractices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO
2
emissions
 
and
 
also
 
helps
 
reduce
 
the
 
background

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.

"SPEED ADJUSTED" Detection
  of   a   vehicle   that   is   too   close   or   running   at   a   speed   lower   than   your  
v

ehicle's   cruise   speed   setting.
The
  system   uses   engine   braking   to   slow   your   vehicle   and   then   hold   it   at   the   speed   of  
t

he   vehicle   in   front   so   as   to   maintain   the   programmed   inter-vehicle   time.
The
  regulation   range   is   limited   to   a   maximum   difference   of   20   mph   (30   km/h)  
b

etween   the   speed   setting   and   the   speed   of   the   vehicle   ahead.
"SPEED ADJUSTED" When
  the   adjusted   speed   reaches   the   control   limit   (speed   setting   -   20   mph  
(

30 km/h)),   the   adjusted   speed   flashes   together   with   the   speed   setting,   to   signal   that  
a

utomatic   deactivation   of   the   system   is   imminent.
"Cruise control
paused" If
  the   system   exceeds   the   limit   of   speed   adjustment   possible   by   the   system   and  
i

n the absence of any reaction by the driver (operation of the direction indicator,
change
  of   lane,   reduction   of   the   speed   of   the   vehicle),   the   system   is   automatically  
pa

used.
The
  display   of   the   deactivation   message   is   accompanied   by   an   audible   signal.

Dynamic cruise control with Stop function
The dynamic cruise control is a driving aid that cannot in any circumstances
replace the observation of speed limits
and safe distances, nor the need for
vigilance
  on   the   part   of   the   driver.
It
 
i

r
ecommended   that  
y

k
eep  
y

our   feet   close   to   the   pedals.
The
  driver   must   be   ready   to   take   back  
c

ontrol of their vehicle at any time,
using
  the   brake   or   accelerator   pedal   as  
a

ppropriate.
This
 
system
 
assures
 
two
 
functions:
-
 
a

utomatic
 
regulation
 
of
 
the
 
speed
 
of
 
the
 v
ehicle
 
to
 
a
 
value
 
programmed
 
by
 
the
 d
river,
-
 
a

utomatic
 
adjustment
 
of
 
the
 
distance
 
b

etween your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead.
It
 
manages
 
the
 
acceleration
 
and
 
deceleration
 
o

f
 
the
 
vehicle
 
by
 
automatically
 
acting
 
on
 
the
 
e

ngine
 
and
 
the
 
braking
 
system.
To do this, the system has a radar, located in
the
 
middle
 
of
 
the
 
front
 
bumper,
 
with
 
a
 
maximum
 
r

ange
 
of
 
150
 
metres.
Principles
This system detects a vehicle running in front of y our   vehicle,   travelling   in   the   same   direction.
It automatically adapts the speed of your
vehicle to that of the vehicle in front, to maintain
a
  constant   distance.
If
  the   vehicle   in   front   is   running   more   slowly,   the  
s

ystem   slows,   or   even   stops   your   vehicle,   using  
e

ngine   braking   and   the   braking   system.
If
  the   braking   system   is   used   to   decelerate   the  
v

ehicle,   the   brake   lamps   come   on.
If
  the   vehicle   in   front   accelerates   or   changes  
l

ane,   the   cruise   control   progressively  
a

ccelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed
 s

peed.
If the driver operates a direction indicator to
overtake
  a   slower   vehicle,   the   dynamic   cruise  
c

ontrol allows your vehicle to temporarily
approach the vehicle in front to assist the
overtaking
 ma

noeuvre,
 t
hough
 n
ever
 e
xceeding
 t

he   programmed   speed.

The change from one level of alert to   the   next   takes   place   if   the   driving  
c

onditions   do   not   change   (speed  
u

nchanged,   no   change   of   lane...)
Severe weather conditions (very heavy
rain, accumulation of snow in front
of the radar) may inter fere with the
operation
  of   the   system,   resulting   in  
t

he   display   of   the   message   "SYSTEM  
I

NACTIVE:   Reduced   visibility".   The  
s

ystem remains unavailable until the
message
 d

isappears.
If
  the   speed   of   your   vehicle   is   too   high  
w

hen   approaching   another   vehicle,   the  
f

irst   level   of   alert   may   not   be   displayed:  
t

he level 2 alert may be displayed
di r e c t l y.
On the other hand, the level 1 alert
is
  never   displayed   with   the   triggering  
t

hreshold   3   (close).
Alerts
According to the collision risk detected by the system and the alert threshold chosen, three
levels
  of   alert   can   be   triggered.
Level 1 :
  visual   alert   only   (orange)  
i

ndicating   that   the   vehicle   in   front   is  
v

ery   close.   The   message   "Vehicle
close "
  is   displayed.
Level 2 :
  visual   (red)   and   audible  
a

lerts   indicating   that   a   collision   is  
i

mminent.   The   message   "Brake! " is
displayed.
This level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle
time
  between   your   vehicle   and   the   one   in   front.
This level of alert is based on a time before
collision.
  It   takes   account   of   the   vehicle  
d

ynamics, the speed of your vehicle and
the
  speed   of   the   vehicle   in   front,   the   driving  
c

onditions, the situation with your vehicle
(cornering,
  pedals   pressed,   etc.)   to   trigger   the  
a

lert   at   the   right   moment.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault, you are alerted
by  the   display   of   the   Service   warning  
l

amp,   accompanied   by   a   message.
Consult a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
 w

orkshop.
The operation of the radar, located in
the front bumper, may be disturbed by
accumulations
  of   grime   (dust,   mud...)  
o

r in certain weather conditions (snow,
ice...).
The
  message   "SYSTEM   INACTIVE:  
V

isibility   reduced"   is   displayed   to   signal  
t

hat the system has been put into
st a n dby.
Clean
  the   front   bumper   regularly.
