Cruise control - "CRUISE"
System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control system cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to observe speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
You are advised to keep your feet near the pedals at all times.
S
witching on the cruise control requires a
minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h).
As well as engagement of:
-
f
ourth gear or higher on a manual gearbox,
-
s
econd gear or higher in manual mode on
an automatic gearbox,
-
position
D on an automatic gearbox.
The system remains active after changing gear
on vehicles with a manual gearbox and Stop &
Start.
The cruise control is paused by pressing
button 4 or the brake pedal or on triggering of
the ESC system for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal until the
programmed cruise speed is reached again. 1.

The dynamic cruise control is switched on
manually: it requires that the speed of the
vehicle be between 25 and 90 mph (40 and
150
km/h), as well as the engagement of:
-
f
ourth gear or higher with a manual
gearbox,
-
s
econd gear or higher with an automatic
gearbox in manual mode,
-
position D with an automatic gearbox.
The system remains active after changing gear
on vehicles with a manual gearbox and Stop &
Start.
General points
The dynamic cruise control can be paused
manually or automatically:
-
b
y pressing button 4 ,
-
b
y pressing the brake pedal,
-
i
n the event of operation of the ESC, for
safety reasons,
-
i
n the event of operation of the electric
parking brake control lever,
-
w
hen an inter-vehicle time threshold is
reached (calculated according to the
relative speeds of your vehicle and the
vehicle in front and the inter-vehicle time
setting chosen),
-
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.
The dynamic cruise control cannot in any
circumstances replace the observation
of speed limits, nor the need for vigilance
on the part of the driver.
It is recommended that you always keep
your feet close to the pedals. If the speed setting selected is above
90 mph (150 km/h), the system switches
to standard cruise control operation,
with no adjustment of the inter-vehicle
safe distance (a message appears in
the instrument panel). The inter-vehicle time setting is kept in
memory on switching off the ignition.
The dynamic cruise control operates by
day and at night, in fog or in moderate
rainfall.
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 (18 mph (30 km/h)).
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.

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 maintain the programmed inter-vehicle time.
The regulation range is limited to a maximum difference of 20 mph (30 km/h)
between the speed setting and the speed of the vehicle ahead.
"SPEED ADJUSTED" When the adjusted speed reaches the control limit (speed setting - 20 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 possible by the system and
in the absence of any reaction by the driver (operation of the direction indicator,
change of lane, reduction of the speed of the vehicle), the system is automatically
paused.
The display of the deactivation message is accompanied by an audible signal.
Driving situations and associated alerts

The display of these alerts is not sequential.

Fatigue detection system
It is recommended that you take a break as soon as you feel tired or at least every two hours.
Depending on version, the function either has the "Driving time warning" only, or this combined with the "Fatigue detection system".
Driving time warning
The system triggers an alert once it detects that
the driver has not taken a break after two hours
of driving at a speed above 40 mph (65 km/h).
This alert takes the form of the display of a
message encouraging you to take a break,
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the
alert is repeated hourly until the vehicle is
stopped.
The system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
Do not take the wheel if you are tired.
As soon as the speed of the vehicle
drops below 40 mph (65 km/h), the
system goes into standby.
The driving time is counted again once
the speed is above 40 mph (65 km/h).
The system resets itself if one of the following
conditions is met:
-
e
ngine running, the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 15 minutes,
-
t
he ignition has been switched off for a
few
m
inutes,
-
t
he driver's seat belt is unfastened and
their door is open.
The system is activated or deactivated in the
touch screen tablet.

of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.
Travelling abroad
Halogen headlamps
For motoring in countries that drive
on the other side of the road, it is
necessary to adapt the adjustment of
the dipped beams so as to not dazzle
the drivers of approaching vehicles.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or qualified
workshop.
Xenon headlamps
The design of the dipped beam
headlamps allows you to drive in a
country that drives on the other side
of the road, without the need for any
modification.
In the event of the failure of one or more
bulbs, a message advises you to check
the lamp(s) in question.
