Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof
bars,
roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference.
Remove
roof bars and roof racks after use.
At
the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry
out this check in particular:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-
a
t each change of season,
-
a
fter a long period out of use.
Don't
forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have
your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter,
p
assenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
o
perations recommended in the manufacturer's service schedule.
With
a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle
b
ecomes polluting; go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
w
ithout delay to have the emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to
t
he legal level.
When
refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
a
void any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles
(3 000
kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to
a
consistent average.

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.

Assisted lane departure warning system
Using a camera placed at the top of the windscreen to identify lane markings on the ground, this systems corrects the trajectory of the vehicle while alerting the driver if it detects a risk of involuntary crossing of a line.
This
system is particularly useful on motor ways and main roads.
The
assisted lane departure warning
s
ystem cannot, in any circumstances,
replace
t
he
n
eed
fo
r
v
igilance
o
n
t
he
par
t
o
f the driver.
The driver remains responsible for the
vehicle
in all circumstances. The system
h
elps the driver only when there is a risk
o
f the vehicle involuntarily wandering
f
rom the lane it is being driven on.
I
t does not manage the safe driving
d
istance, the speed of the vehicle or the
brakes.
The
driver must hold the steering wheel
i
n a way that allows control to be taken
b
ack in circumstances where the system
i
s not able to intervene (where there are
no
lane markings, for example).
It
is necessary to observe the driving
r
egulations and take a break every
t
wo hours.
Operation
Conditions for operation
The speed of the vehicle must be between 40
and
112 mph (65 and 180 km/h).
The
carriageway must have at least one lane
m
arking (solid or broken) on the ground.
The driver must hold the wheel with both
hands.
The
change of trajectory is not accompanied by
o
peration of the direction indicators.
The
ESC system must be activated. Once
the system identifies a risk of the vehicle i
nvoluntarily crossing one of the lane markings
d
etected, it makes the correction to the
t
rajectory necessary to return the vehicle to its
in
itial
pa
th.
The
driver will then notice a turning movement
o
f the steering wheel.
This
warning lamp flashes during
t
rajectory
c
orrection.
If the driver wishes to maintain the
trajectory
of the vehicle, they can
p
revent the correction by keeping a firm
g
rip on the wheel (during an avoiding
m
anoeuvre, for example).
The correction is interrupted if the
direction
indicators are operated.
Driving
179
C4-Picasso-II_en_Chap04_conduite_ed01-2016
However, with the "Blind spot monitoring system" activated, if the driver starts changing
l
ane and another vehicle is detected in the
vehicle's
blind spot, the system will correct
t
he trajectory of the vehicle even though the
d
irection indicators are on.
For more information on the Blind spot
monitoring system ,
refer to the corresponding
s
ection. If the system detects that the driver is
not
holding the wheel firmly enough
d
uring an automatic correction of
t
rajectory, it interrupts the correction.
A
n alert is triggered to encourage
t
he driver to take back control of the
v
ehicle.
Activation / Deactivation
Activation / deactivation of the system is done i
n the Driving menu of the touch screen tablet.
Select the " Driving assistance " tab then
" Help staying in lane ".
The state of the system stays in memory when
the
ignition is switched off.
While the direction indicators are on and for
a
few
seconds
after
switching
them
off,
the
s
ystem
considers
that
any

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:

Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres,
once the vehicle is moving.
It
compares the information given by the four
w
heel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed .
The
system triggers an alert as soon as it
d
etects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or
more tyres. The under-inflation detection system
does
not replace the need for vigilance
o
n the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check
the tyre pressures (including the
s
pare wheel) every month as well as
before
a long journey.
Driving
with under-inflated tyres impairs
r
oad holding, extends braking distances
a
nd causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous conditions
(high
loading, high speed, long journey).
System
which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding
s
ection.
Tyre
pressures should be checked
w
hen the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped
for 1 hour or after a journey of
l
ess than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
s
peeds).
Other wise
(when hot), add 0.3 bar to
t
he pressures shown on the label.
