At a speed above 12 mph (20 km/h), these
w arning lamps flash, associated with an
audible signal, for two minutes. Beyond this
period of time, the warning lamps stay on
continuously until the seat belts are fastened.
Rear seat belts not fastened alert
When the ignition is switched on, with the
engine running or the vehicle moving above
6
mph (10 km/h), warning lamp A and the
corresponding dots in warning lamp B come on
for around thirty seconds, if one or more rear
passengers have not fastened their seat belts.
Seat belts unfastened alert
After the ignition is switched on, warning lamp
A and the corresponding dots in warning lamp
B come on if the driver and/or one or more
passengers unfasten their seat belts.
These warning lamps flash for 30
seconds,
accompanied by an audible signal. Beyond
this period of time, the warning lamps stay on
continuously until the seat belts are fastened.
Advice
The driver must ensure that passengers
use the seat belts correctly and that they
are all fastened before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for
short journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles
as they will not fulfil their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia
reel permitting automatic adjustment of
the length of the strap to your size. The
seat belt is stowed automatically when not
in use.
The inertia reels have an automatic
locking device at the time of a
collision,
during sudden braking or if the vehicle
turns over. You can release the device by
pulling the strap firmly and then releasing
it so that it reels in slightly.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is reeled in correctly.
After folding or moving a
seat or rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is
positioned and reeled in correctly. Installation
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the
pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
-

b
e tightened as close to the body as
possible,
-

b
e pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it does not
twist,
-

b
e used to restrain only one person,
-

n
ot show any signs of cuts or fraying,
-

n
ot be converted or modified to avoid
affecting its performance.
Recommendations for children
Use a
suitable child seat if the passenger
is less than 12
years old or shorter than
one and a
half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure
more than one child.
Never allow a
child to travel on your lap.
For more information on Child seats ,
refer to the corresponding section.

ignition and allow the vehicle to be locked.
With the ignition on, the system
automatically changes to energy economy
mode when required to maintain an
adequate state of charge of the battery.
On certain versions with the automatic gearbox
(EAT6/EAT8), the steering column does not
lock.
Electric parking brake
The technology adopted for the electric
parking brake does not allow the fitment of
15-inch wheels.
Indicator lamp
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and in the control
lever to confirm the application of
the parking brake. It goes off to confirm the release of the parking
brake.
The indicator lamp in the control lever flashes
during manual application or release.
After applying the parking brake, the
simultaneous flashing of the indicator lamps
in the instrument panel and in the control lever
warns you to secure the immobilisation of the
vehicle by engaging a
gear (with a manual
gearbox or by placing the selector at position
P with an automatic gearbox or by placing
a chock against one of the wheels (e.g. parking
on a very steep slope or a steep slope with
a weak battery).
In the event of a battery failure, the
electric parking brake no longer works.
As a safety measure, if the parking brake
is not applied, immobilise the vehicle by
engaging a

gear (with a

manual gearbox)
or placing a chock against one of the
wheels.
Call a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The system provides, in automatic operation,
the application of the parking brake on
switching off the engine and release as the
vehicle moves off.
The driver can take over at any time to apply
or release the parking brake, by operating the
control lever:
-

b

y briefly pulling
the control lever to apply
the brake,
-

b

y briefly pushing
the control lever, while
pressing the brake pedal, to release it.
Automatic mode is activated by default.

In sequential mode, it is not necessary to
release the accelerator pedal when changing
g e a r.
Changing from one gear to another only
occurs if the vehicle speed and engine speed
conditions allow; other wise the gearbox will
operate temporarily in automatic mode.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the
gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then
the gear actually engaged is displayed.
Invalid value during manual operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).
You can change mode at any time by
moving the gear selector from D to M or
vice versa.
Stopping the vehicle
door is opened or approximately 45 seconds
a fter the ignition is switched off, an audible
signal sounds and a


message appears:
F

r
eposition the lever to position P ; the
audible signal stops and the message
disappears.
Whatever the parking circumstances, you must
apply the parking brake manually to immobilise
the vehicle if automatic operation has been
deactivated.
In all circumstances, ensure that the
selector is in position P before leaving
your vehicle.
Before switching off the engine, you can
engage position P or N to place the gearbox
in neutral. In both cases, apply the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle, unless it is
programmed to automatic mode.
If the lever is not in position P , when the driver's In the event of a
battery failure, use the
chock to immobilise your vehicle.
Operating fault
If the gearbox malfunctions, the
Ser vice warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, accompanied
by a
message and an audible signal. Do not exceed 62
mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or
a

qualified workshop.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may then
feel a

substantial jolt when changing from P to
R and from N to R . This jolt will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Gear efficiency indicator
This system reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one (or more) gear(s). You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
Gear efficiency recommendations are for
information only. In fact, the road layout, the
traffic density and safety remain the deciding
factors when choosing the best gear. The driver
therefore remains responsible for deciding
whether or not to follow the indications issued
by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual mode.

When the cruise control is switched on, be
careful if you maintain the pressure on one
of the programmed speed modification
buttons: this may result in a very rapid
change in the speed of your vehicle.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads or in heavy traffic.
When descending a


steep hill, the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the programmed speed.
On steep climbs or when towing, the
programmed speed may not be reached
or maintained.
The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with the operation
of the cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
-

e
nsure that mats are secured correctly,
-

n
ever fit one mat on top of another.Adaptive cruise control
The system allows the speed of
your vehicle to be maintained at the
setting you have made, and also to
respect the inter-vehicle time that
you have selected between your
vehicle and the one in front, when
the situation permits it.

types of cruise control
The choice between "adaptive" and "standard"
cruise control is made in the Driving menu.

cruise control.
For more information on the Cruise
control , refer to the corresponding
section.
Principles of operation
Using radar with a range of about 100 metres,
l ocated at the front of the vehicle, this system
detects a
vehicle travelling in front of your
vehicle.
It automatically adapts the speed of your
vehicle to that of the vehicle in front.
If the vehicle in front is travelling more slowly,
the system progressively reduces the speed of
your vehicle using just engine braking (as if the
driver had pressed the " -" b u t to n).
If your vehicle is too close to the vehicle in
front or is approaching it too quickly, adaptive
cruise control is automatically deactivated.
The driver is then alerted by an audible signal
accompanied by a


message.
If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes
lane, the adaptive cruise control gradually
accelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed speed.
If the driver operates the direction indicator to
the left (left-hand drive) or to the right (right-
hand drive), to overtake a
slower vehicle, the
adaptive cruise control allows your vehicle to
temporarily approach the vehicle in front to
assist the overtaking manoeuvre, though never
exceeding the programmed speed.
The adaptive cruise control operates
by day and at night, in fog or moderate
rainfall.

Comments
No vehicle detected:
the system operates as a
standard cruise control.
Detection of a
vehicle, at the limit of the range of the radar:
the system operates as a
standard cruise control.
"SPEED
ADJUSTED" Detection of a
vehicle that is too close or running at a speed lower than your vehicle's
cruise speed setting.
The system uses engine braking to slow your vehicle and then hold it at the speed of the
vehicle in front so as to obser ve the programmed inter-vehicle time.
The regulation range is limited to a
maximum difference of 19 mph (30 km/h) between the
cruise speed setting and the speed of the vehicle in front.
"SPEED
ADJUSTED" When the adjusted speed reaches the limit of regulation (speed setting – 19
mph
(30
km/h)), the adjusted speed flashes together with the speed setting to signal that
automatic deactivation of the system is imminent.
"Cruise control
paused". If the system exceeds the limit of speed adjustment that it can make and in the absence of
any reaction by the driver (operation of the direction indicator, change of lane, reduction in
the speed of the vehicle), the system is automatically paused.
The display of the deactivation message is accompanied by an audible signal.

Driving

158
Primarily designed for driving on main
roads and motor ways, this system only
works on moving vehicles, driving in the
same direction as your vehicle.
Principle of operation
The system 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 driving more slowly, the
system slows or even stops your vehicle, using
engine braking and the braking system (for
versions fitted with an automatic gearbox).
If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes
lane, the cruise control progressively
accelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed speed.
If the driver operates a
direction indicator to
overtake a
slower vehicle, the cruise control
allows your vehicle to temporarily approach
the vehicle in front to assist the overtaking
manoeuvre, though never exceeding the
programmed speed.
The brake lamps illuminate as soon as
the braking system is activated with
deceleration of the vehicle. This system is a
driving aid that cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the need to
obser ve speed limits and safety distances,
nor the need for vigilance on the part of
the driver.
Some vehicles present on the road may
not be properly seen or may be poorly
interpreted by the camera and/or radar
(e.g. a lorry), which may lead to a poor
assessment of the distances and lead to
the vehicle inappropriately accelerating or
braking.
The driver must be ready at all times
to retake control of their vehicle by
permanently holding both hands on the
steering wheel and keeping their feet near
the brake and accelerator pedals.
Steering mounted control
1. Select cruise control mode. 2.
Use the current speed as the speed
setting/decrease the speed setting.
3. Use the current speed as the speed
setting/increase the speed setting.
4. Pause/Resume cruise control.
5. Use the speed suggested by the Speed
Limit recognition and recommendation.

Driving

169
The driver can maintain control of the
vehicle at any time by sharply turning
the steering wheel and/or pressing the
accelerator pedal.
Operation of the function may be felt by
slight vibration in the brake pedal.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
the automatic braking is maintained for
1
to 2 seconds.
Malfunction
In the event of a fault with the
s ystem, you are alerted by the
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of
a


message and an audible signal.
Lane Departure Warning
System
Using a camera located at the top of the
w indscreen to identify lane markings on the
ground, the system 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.
Conditions for operation
The speed of the vehicle must be between
40 mph and 112 mph (65 km/h and 180 km/h).
The driver must hold the steering wheel with
both hands.
The change of trajectory must not be
accompanied by operation of the direction
indicators.
The ESC system must be activated and fault-
free. This system is a
driving aid that cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the
driver's own vigilance. The driver must
remain in control of the vehicle under all
circumstances.
The system helps the driver only when
there is a risk of the vehicle involuntarily
wandering from the lane it is being driven
in. It does not manage the safe driving
distance, the speed of the vehicle or the
brakes.
The driver must hold the steering wheel
with both hands in a way that allows
control to be maintained in circumstances
where the system is not able to inter vene
(if lane markings disappear, for example).
It is necessary to obser ve the driving
regulations and take a break every two
hours.Operation
Once the system identifies a risk of the vehicle
i nvoluntarily crossing one of the lane markings
detected, it makes the correction to the
trajectory required to return the vehicle to its
initial path.
The driver will notice a
turning movement of the
steering wheel.
This warning lamp flashes during
trajectory correction.
Contact a

CITROËN dealer or a

qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
