Operating fault
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 selector
lever at position N and put your foot on the brake
pedal.
It is then necessary to switch off the ignition and
start the engine again using the "START/STOP"
button.
In the event of a fault with the system,
this indicator lamp flashes for a few
moments then comes on continuously,
accompanied by a message.
Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
system to avoid the risk of injury related
to an automatic change to START
mode.
Driving on flooded roads
Before driving through a flooded road,
it is strongly recommended that you
deactivate the Stop & Start system.
For more information on Driving
advice
, particularly on flooded roads,
refer to the corresponding section. The Stop & Start system requires a
battery of advanced technology and
special characteristics.
All work on this type of battery must
only be done by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
For more information on the 12 V
battery
, refer to the corresponding
section.

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.

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

Dynamic cruise control with Stop function
The dynamic cruise control is a driving
aid that cannot in any circumstances
replace the observation of speed limits
and safe distances, nor the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
It is recommended that you always keep
your feet close to the pedals.
The driver must be ready to take back
control of their vehicle at any time,
using the brake or accelerator pedal as
appropriate.
This system provides two functions:
-

a

utomatic regulation of the speed of the
vehicle to a value programmed by the
driver,
-

a

utomatic adjustment of the distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead, even to the point of stopping your
vehicle completely.
It manages the acceleration and deceleration
of the vehicle by automatically acting on the
engine and the braking system.
To do this, the system has a radar, located in
the front bumper.
Principles
This system detects a vehicle running in front of
your vehicle, travelling in the same direction.
It 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 running more slowly, the
system slows, or even stops your vehicle, using
engine braking and the braking system.
If the braking system is used to decelerate the
vehicle, the brake lamps come on.
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 dynamic cruise
control allows your vehicle to temporarily
approach the vehicle in front to assist the
overtaking manoeuvre, though never exceeding
the programmed speed.

+ "Take back control of the
vehicle"
The driver should take control of the vehicle by accelerating or
braking, depending on the circumstances.
+ "Take back control of the
vehicle"
The system cannot manage the critical situation alone
(emergency braking of the target vehicle, rapid insertion of
another vehicle between the two vehicles).
The driver must immediately take back control of the
vehicle.
or "Activation not possible,
conditions unsuitable"
The system refuses to activate the cruise control (speed outside
the operating range, winding road).
or according to the inter-vehicle
distance selected and the actual
distance from the target vehicle "Cruise control paused"
(for a few seconds)
The system has brought the vehicle to a complete stop and is
holding it immobilised.
The driver should accelerate to move off again.
The cruise control remains paused until the driver reactivates it
with the speed of the vehicle above 18 mph (30 km/h).

Driving at a steady speed on fairly straight
roads is required.
Following an impact, the function is put
out of service automatically, consult
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to
avoid a collision, this system will complete the
braking, within the limits of the laws of physics.
This assistance will only be provided if you
press the brake pedal.
Deactivation / Activation
By default, the system is automatically
activated at every engine start.
The system can be deactivated or activated in
the vehicle settings menu in the screen. Deactivation of the system is
signalled by the illumination of this

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.
