Dynamic cruise control
System that allows, in addition to maintaining your vehicle's speed at a value that you have defined, the inter-vehicle time you have selected between
your vehicle and the one in front to be maintained.
Principles of operation
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 the 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
the vehicle in front too quickly, the dynamic
cruise control is automatically deactivated.
The driver is then alerted by an audible signal,
accompanied by a message.
Choice of the type of cruise control
The choice between the "dynamic" and
"standard" cruise control is done in the Driving
menu.
F
I
n the Driving menu, select the " Driving
functions " tab, then " Active cruise
control" to activate or deactivate the
dynamic cruise control.
For more information on the Cruise
control , refer to the corresponding
section. F
P
lace the cruise control
thumbwheel at "CRUISE". 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
the left (left-hand drive) or the right (right-
hand drive), 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.

Assisted Lane Departure Warning System
Using a camera placed at the top of the windscreen to identify lane markings on the ground, this 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.This system is a driving aid which cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver remains responsible for the
vehicle in 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 on. It does
not manage the safe driving distance, the
speed of the vehicle or the brakes.
The driver must hold the steering wheel in
a way that allows control to be taken back
in circumstances where the system is not
able to intervene (where there are no lane
markings, for example).
It is necessary to observe the driving
regulations and take a break every two
hours.
Operation
Conditions for operation
The speed of the vehicle must be between 40
and 112 mph (65 and 180 km/h).
The carriageway must have at least one lane
marking (solid or broken) on the ground.
The driver must hold the wheel with both
hands.
The change of trajectory is not accompanied by
operation of the direction indicators.
The ESC system must be activated. Once the system identifies a risk of the vehicle
involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings
detected, it makes the correction to the
trajectory necessary to return the vehicle to its
initial path.
The driver will then notice a turning movement
of the steering wheel.
This warning lamp flashes during
trajectory correction.
If the driver wishes to maintain the
trajectory of the vehicle, they can
prevent the correction by keeping a firm
grip on the wheel (during an avoiding
manoeuvre, for example).
The correction is interrupted if the
direction indicators are operated.

This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, gate)
which comes within the field of detection of
sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (e.g. stake,
roadworks cone) detected initially will no longer
be detected at the end of the manoeuvre, if
they are located in blind spots in the sensors'
field of detection.
Parking sensors
This system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.The system is switched on by engaging reverse
g e a r.
This is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear.
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right-hand
or left-hand) indicates the side on which the
obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
Rear parking sensors
This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars in the screen or the instrument
panel which move progressively nearer to
the vehicle. When the obstacle is near, the
"Danger" symbol is displayed.

Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with
parking. It detects a parking space then
operates the steering to park in the space.
It operates the steering while the driver
manages the accelerator, brakes, gears and
clutch (manual gearbox). During phases of
entry into and exit from a parking space, the
system provides visual and audible information
to the driver in order to make the manoeuvres
safe. It may be necessary to move for wards
and backwards more than once.During a manoeuvre, the steering
wheel turns quickly: do not hold the
steering wheel, do not place your
hands between the spokes of the
steering wheel and take care with
loose and bulky clothing (scarves, ties,
handbags...) - Risk of injury!
When Park Assist is activated, it
prevents a change to STOP mode of
Stop & Start. In STOP mode, activation
of Park Assist restarts the engine.
This manoeuvring assistance system
cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
The driver must remain in control of their
vehicle ensuring that the space remains
clear throughout the manoeuvre.
In some circumstances, the sensors may
not detect small obstacles located in
their blind spots.
The driver can take control at any time by
gripping the steering wheel. The Park Assist system provides assistance for
the following manoeuvres:
A.
E
ntry into a parallel parking space
B.
E
xit from a parallel parking space
C.
B
ay parkingThe Park Assist system takes control
of the power steering for a maximum
of 4 manoeuvre cycles. The function
is deactivated after these 4 cycles.
If you think that your vehicle is not
positioned correctly, you should then
take control of the steering to carry out
the manoeuvre.
The Park Assist system cannot work
with the engine off.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR) / Dynamic stability control (DSC)
Operation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a
problem of grip or trajectory.
Deactivation of the ASR
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR, so that the wheels can turn freely and
regain grip.
Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of
grip permits.This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.

n the Driving menu, select the " Driving
functions " tab, then " Traction control".
Deactivation is confirmed by a message.

operation of the engine or on the brakes in the
event of an involuntary change of trajectory.Operating fault Reactivation of the ASR

Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal

Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the systems checked.
ASR / DSC
These systems offer even greater
safety during normal driving, but they
should not encourage the driver to take
extra risks or drive at excessive speed.
When traction deteriorates (rain, snow,
ice), the risks of loss of grip increase.
Therefore, for your safety, it is essential
that these systems are left active in all
conditions, and particularly in difficult
conditions.
The operation of these systems
is assured provided that the
manufacturer's recommendations
concerning the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the CITROËN
network
fitting and repair procedures are
complied with.
To ensure the effectiveness of these
systems in winter conditions, it is
essential that the vehicle is fitted with
four snow tyres which will enable the
vehicle to retain neutral handling.
After an impact, have the systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
