Operating fault
Depending on your vehicle's equipment:
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall.
All of the instrument panel warning lamps
come on.
Depending on version, an alert message may
also be displayed, asking you to place the gear
lever in position N and put your foot on the
brake pedal.
With the vehicle stationary, you must switch off
the ignition and then start the engine again. The Stop & Start system requires a
12
V battery with a special specification
and technology.
The warning lamp in this button
flashes and a message appears,
accompanied by an audible signal. In the event of a fault with the
system, this warning lamp flashes in
the instrument panel. All work on this type of battery must
be done by a CITROËN or a qualified
workshop.
For more information on the 12 V
battery, refer to the corresponding
section.

This value remains in memory, regardless of
the state of the system. F
P
ress button 6 to select a new inter-vehicle
distance setting from the three levels
("Close ", "Normal ", "Distant ").
Modification of the inter-
vehicle distanceIn the event of the presence of a vehicle
detected by the inter-vehicle distance
radar, if the speed selected is too far
above the speed of that vehicle, the
system is not activated and the alert
message "Activation not possible,
conditions unsuitable" is displayed until
driving conditions are safe to allow
activation of the system.
The inter-vehicle distance setting
is memorised when the ignition is
switched off.
Exceeding the programmed
speed
Simply release the accelerator pedal
to return to the programmed speed. It is possible to exceed the
programmed speed temporarily by
depressing the accelerator pedal. The dynamic cruise control can be paused

manually with the control, or automatically:
-
b
y pressing the brake or clutch pedal,
-
i
n the event of operation of the ESC, for
safety reasons,
-
w
hen an inter-vehicle distance threshold
is reached (calculated according to the
relative speeds of your vehicle and the
vehicle in front and the inter-vehicle
distance setting selected),
-
w
hen the distance between your vehicle
and the one in front becomes too small,
-
w
hen the speed of the vehicle in front is
too

low,
- w hen the speed of your vehicle becomes
too low.
Pause
If the programmed setting is unintentionally
exceeded, descending a steep hill for example,
the speed setting in the instrument panel
flashes as a warning.

Spacetourer-VP_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016
When the dynamic cruise control is
automatically paused, it can only be
reactivated when safe conditions are
restored. The message "Activation
not possible, conditions unsuitable"
is displayed while reactivation is not
possible.
When the conditions allow, it is
recommended that the function be
reactivated by pressing button 2 (SET+)
or 3 (SET-), which will make the current
speed of your vehicle the new cruise
speed setting, rather than by pressing
button 4 (on/pause) which reactivates
the cruise control using the old cruise
speed setting, which may be very
different from the current speed of your
vehicle.The speed regulation range is limited to a
maximum difference of 20 mph (30 km/h)
between the speed setting and the speed of
the vehicle in front.
Above this, the system goes into pause if the
safe distance becomes too small.
The dynamic cruise control uses only engine
braking to slow the vehicle. Consequently the
vehicle loses speed slowly, as when releasing
the accelerator pedal.
The system is paused automatically:
-

i
f the vehicle in front slows down too much
or too suddenly, and the driver does not
brake,
-

i
f a vehicle comes between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front,
-

i
f the system does not slow the vehicle
enough to continue to maintain a safe
distance, for example when descending a
steep hill.Limits of operation
As the radar's field of detection is quite narrow,
it is possible that the system may not detect:
-

v
ehicles of reduced width, such as
motorcycles, for example, -

v
ehicles not running in the middle of the
lane,
-
v
ehicles entering a corner,
-
v
ehicles changing lane at the last moment.
The cruise control does not take
account of:
- s tationary vehicles,
-

v
ehicles driving in the opposite
direction.

Collision Risk Alert and Active Safety
BrakeConditions for operation
The Active Safety Brake system operates:
- b etween 3 and 87 mph (5 and 140 km/h), in
the case of a moving vehicle,
-

a
t a speed below 50 mph (80 km/h), in the
case of a stationary vehicle,
-

a
t a speed below 36 mph (60 km/h), in the
case of a pedestrian,
-

i
f the passenger seat belts are fastened,
-

i
f the vehicle is not accelerating sharply,
-

i
f the vehicle is not in a tight corner.
The
Collision Risk Alert system allows the
driver to be warned that their vehicle is at
risk of collision with the vehicle in front or a
pedestrian in their traffic lane.
The Active Safety Brake system inter venes
following the aler t if the driver does not
react quickly enough and does not operate
the vehicle's brakes.
If the driver fails to act, it contributes
towards avoiding a collision or limiting
its severity by reducing the speed of your
vehicle. These systems use a radar located in the
front bumper and a camera at the top of the
windscreen.
These system are designed to improve
road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to
continuously monitor the state of the
traffic, observing the driving regulations.
These systems do not replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The Collision Risk Alert
system only
operates:
-

w
ith a registered vehicle pointing in the
same direction as the traffic, moving or
stationary,
-

w
ith pedestrians.
-

f
rom 4 mph (7 km/h) (and is deactivated at
3 mph (5 km/h)).

-

i
f the system has been triggered in the last
10 seconds,
-

i
f the electronic stability control system has
a fault.Limits of operation
It is recommended that the system be
deactivated in the vehicle configuration menu
in the following cases:
-

i
f the windscreen has impact damage close
to the detection camera,
-

w
hen towing a trailer or caravan,
-

w
hen a load on the roof rack extends

w
hen in an automatic car wash,
-

i
f the brake lamps are not working.
Following an impact, the system
is automatically disabled; contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Collision Risk Alert
Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert threshold
chosen, different levels of alert can be
triggered and displayed in the instrument panel
or the head-up display.
This level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle
time between your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead. Level 1
: visual alert only, warning you
that the vehicle ahead is very close.
A message on your vigilance is
displayed as you close on the vehicle
ahead.
This information also appears in the
head-up display.
For more information on the Head-up
display
, refer to the corresponding
section.
Driving

241
Spacetourer-VP_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016
This level of alert is based on the time before
collision. It takes account of the vehicle
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the
one in front, the environmental conditions, the
operation of the vehicle (cornering, pedals
pressed, etc.) to trigger the alert at the best
moment.Level 2
: visual and audible alert,
warning you that a collision is
imminent.
A message indicating that you should
brake is displayed.
Where the speed of your vehicle is too
high approaching another vehicle, the
first level of alert may not be displayed:
the level 2 alert may be displayed
di r e c t l y.
Furthermore, the level 1 alert is never
displayed with the " Close" threshold.
Poor weather conditions (very heavy
rain, accumulation of snow in front of
the radar and the camera) may hinder
the operation of the system, with the
display of an operating fault message.
The system remains out of service until
the message disappears.
Programming the alert
thresholds
The thresholds for triggering an alert determine
how you wish to be warned of the presence of a
vehicle moving or stationary ahead of you, or a
pedestrian in your traffic lane.
You can select one of three thresholds:
-
"Distant ", to be warned early (cautious
driving).
-
"Normal ".
-
"Close ", to be warned later.
In the vehicle settings menu, activate/
deactivate "Collision risk alert and automatic
braking ".
With the touch screen With the audio system
In the "Personalisation-configuration "
menu, activate/deactivate " Auto. emergency
braking ".
Then modify the alert threshold.
Then modify the alert threshold.
Press on " Confirm" to save the change.
