Exceeding the programmed speed
Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the programmed speed results in flashing of this speed in the screen.
Return
to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or unintentional
d
eceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing of the speed.
Leaving cruise control mode
F Turn thumb wheel 1 to the "0" position: the cruise control mode is d
eselected. The display returns to the distance recorder.
Operating fault
In the event of a cruise control malfunction, the speed is cleared resulting in flashing of the
d
ashes. Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer
o
r a qualified workshop.
When the cruise control is switched on,
be
careful if you maintain the pressure
o
n 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
s
peed.
To
avoid any risk of jamming of the

The system does not have to be r einitialised after fitting or removing
sn

c
hains. Before
doing anything to the system,
t
he pressures of the four tyres must be c
hecked and the system reinitialised.
The under-inflation alert is only

if the system has been
r
einitialised with all four tyres inflated to
the correct pressures.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the u
nder-inflation w arning lam p a ccompanied b
y illumination of the Service warning lamp
i
ndicates a fault with the system.
In
this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
t
yres is no longer assured.
Have
the system checked by a CITROËN
d
ealer or a qualified workshop.
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
vehicle
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
lowering
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
temporarily
(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
message.
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
lon
ger
ope
rates.
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
system,
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
s
witched off.
When the system is deactivated, a m essage is displayed every time the
i
gnition is switched on, to warn you.
Operating faults
In the event of an impact to the windscreen at the sensor, deactivate
the
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
sensor.
System fault
In the event of a malfunction of the system, you a re 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.
In
difficult
weather
conditions
(very
h
eavy
rain,
snow,
fog,
hail...),
braking
d
istances increase, which can reduce
the
ability
of
the
system
to
avoid
a
c
ollision.
The
driver
must
therefore
remain
par
ticularly
v
igilant.
Never
leave
accumulations
of
snow

a
ny
object
projecting
above

of
the
roof:
this
might
