Inter-vehicle distance
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
vehicle.
It automatically adapts the speed of your
vehicle to that of the vehicle in front.
If the vehicle in front is running more slowly,
the system progressively reduces the speed of
your vehicle using just engine braking (as if the
driver had pressed the " -" button).
If your vehicle is too close to, or approaching
too quickly the vehicle in front, the dynamic
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 dynamic 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 dynamic cruise
control allows your vehicle to temporarily
approach the vehicle in front to assist the
overtaking manoeuvre, though never exceeding
the programmed speed.

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

10 seconds,
-
i
f the electronic stability control system has

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
beyond the windscreen (for example: long
objects),
-
w
hen the vehicle is being towed, with the
engine running,

w
hen a "space-saver" type spare wheel is
fitted (if your vehicle has one),
-
w
hen on a rolling road for a service in a
workshop,
-
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

Blind spot monitoring system
A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on
the side in question:
-
i
mmediately, when being overtaken,
-
a
fter a delay of about one second, when
overtaking a vehicle slowly.
This driving assistance system warns the driver
of the presence of another vehicle in the blind
spot angle of their vehicle (areas masked from
the driver's field of vision), as soon as this
presents a potential danger. The alert is given by a warning lamp which
comes on in the door mirror on the side in
question as soon as a vehicle - car, lorry,
bicycle - is detected and the following
conditions are fulfilled:
-
a
ll the vehicles must be moving in the
same direction and on adjacent lanes,
-
t
he speed of your vehicle is between 7 and
87 mph (12 and 140 km/h),
-
w
hen you overtake a vehicle with a speed
difference of less than 6 mph (10 km/h),
- w hen a vehicle overtakes you with a speed
difference of less than 15 mph (25 km/h),
-
t
he traffic must be flowing normally,
-
i
n the case of an overtaking manoeuvre,
if this is prolonged and the vehicle being
overtaken returns to the blind spot,
-

curved road,
-

This system is designed to improve
safety when driving and is in no
circumstances a substitute for the use
of the interior rear view mirror and door
mirrors. It is the driver's responsibility to
constantly check the traffic, to assess
the distances and relative speeds
of other vehicles and to predict their
movements before deciding whether to
change lane.
The blind spot sensor system does not
replace the need for vigilance on the
part of the driver.

Reversing camera with display in the interior mirror
The visual aid reversing camera is activated
automatically when reverse gear is engaged.
The function may be completed with parking
sensors.Opening the tailgate or rear door
(depending on equipment) can inter fere
with the display.
If a side door is open, allow for the
space it occupies.
Some deformation of the image is
normal.
The reversing camera cannot in any
circumstances be a substitute for
vigilance on the part of the driver. Check the cleanliness of the camera
lens regularly.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.
The image is displayed in the interior mirror.
High pressure jet washing (if muddy,
for example)
When washing your vehicle, do not
place the tip of the lance within 30
cm
of the camera as there is a risk of
damaging it.
The blue lines represent the width of your
vehicle including the mirrors.
The red line represents a distance of 30 cm
from the rear bumper and the thin blue lines
respectively 1 m (
A) and 2 m ( B).

"Standard view""180° view"
"Zoom view" (reconstructed)
The camera records the surroundings during a
manoeuvre in order to create a reconstruction
of the view from above the rear of the vehicle in
its close surroundings, allowing the vehicle to
be manoeuvred among the obstacles nearby.
This view is available with AUTO view or by
selecting of the view in the change view menu.
180° view makes it possible to reverse out of
a parking space while being able to see the
arrival of vehicles, pedestrians or cyclists.
This view is not recommended for carrying out
a complete manoeuvre.
It is made up of the following:
The area to the rear of your vehicle is displayed
in the screen.
The blue outline represents the width of your
vehicle (with mirrors): its orientation depends
on the position of the steering wheel.
The red line represents a distance of 30
cm
from the rear bumper and the two blue lines,
1
m and 2 m respectively.
Rear views
Engage reverse gear to activate the camera,
located on the tailgate or rear door.
The rear parking sensors also
provide information on the vehicle's
surroundings.
Obstacles may appear further away
than they are in reality.
It is important to check the side views
using the mirrors during the manoeuvre.
