In the event of a fault with the dynamic cruise
control, you are alerted by an audible signal
and display of the message message "Driving
aid functions fault".
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Operating faultThe dynamic cruise control operates
by day and at night, in fog or moderate
rainfall.When the cruise control is working, take
care if making a maintained press on
one of the cruise control programmed
speed modification buttons: this can
lead to a very quick change in the
speed of your vehicle.
Do not use the dynamic cruise control
on slippery sur faces or in heavy traffic.
When descending a steep hill, the
cruise control may not be able to
prevent the vehicle from exceeding the
programmed speed.
When ascending a steep hill or when
towing, it might not be possible to
achieve or maintain the programmed
speed.
The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with the
operation of the dynamic cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
-

e
nsure that mats are secured
c o r r e c t l y,
-

n
ever fit one mat on top of another.
It is recommended that you always keep
your feet close to the pedals.
If the difference between the
programmed speed setting and the
speed of the vehicle in front is too
great, the speed cannot be adjusted:
the cruise control is automatically
deactivated. The system does not act on the braking
system, but works only with engine
braking.
The regulation range is limited: there
will no longer be any adjustment of
speed if the difference between the
programmed speed setting and the
speed of the vehicle in front becomes
too high.
The dynamic cruise control cannot in any
circumstances replace the observation
of speed limits, nor the need for the
vigilance on the part of the driver.

180° rear vision
This system allows the near surroundings of the
vehicle to be viewed in the display screen using
cameras located at the rear of the vehicle. The
parking sensors in the rear and/or front bumper
complete the information on the view from
above the vehicle (right-hand part).
In addition to the view from above the vehicle
(right-hand part) several types of view can be
displayed (left-hand part):
-
s
tandard rear view,
-

1
80° rear view,
-

r
econstructed zoom rear view.
Principle of image
reconstruction
The system displays the contextual view (left-
hand part) as well as the view from above the
vehicle in its close surroundings.
By default, automatic mode is activated.
In this mode, the system chooses the best view
to display (standard or zoom) according to the
information received from the parking sensors.
The 180° view is only available through the
menus. The display disappears above
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
The system is automatically deactivated
about 7 seconds after coming out of
reverse or on opening a door or the
boot. This system is a visual aid and cannot
in any circumstances replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The images provided by the cameras
may appear distorted by the
surroundings (exterior conditions,
driving mode,
...).
The presence of areas in shadow, bright
sunlight, or poor lighting conditions
may make the image dark and reduce
contrast.
Using the rear camera, the system records the
vehicle's surroundings during a manoeuvre.
An image from above your vehicle in its close
surroundings is reconstructed (represented
between the blue brackets) in real time and as
the manoeuvre progresses.
This representation facilitates the alignment of
your vehicle when parking and allows you to
see all of the obstacles close to the vehicle.
This reconstructed view is automatically erased
if the vehicle remains stationary for too long.

"AUTO mode"
This mode is activated by default.
Using sensors in the rear bumper, the
automatic view allows a change from the rear
view to the view from above as an obstacle is
approached during a manoeuvre.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing a trailer or carrying a
bicycle on the towbar (vehicle fitted with
a towbar installed as recommended by
the manufacturer).
Quick start mode
This mode displays, as quickly as possible, the
contextual view (left-hand part) and the view
from above the vehicle. High pressure jet wash (if muddy, for
example)
When washing your vehicle, do not
place the tip of the lance within 30 cm of
the camera lenses, as otherwise there
is a risk of damaging them.
A message is displayed advising you to check
your vehicle's surroundings before starting the
manoeuvre.
