2017 Citroen GRAND C4 PICASSO RHD ECO mode

160
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.

Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the cruise
control, you are alerted by the
illumination of this warning lamp
and the display of a message in the
instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible signal.
The cruise control operates by day and at night, in fog or moderate rainfall.
However, it is strongly recommended that you always keep a safe distance from vehicles
ahead, depending on the driving conditions, the weather and the road sur face.
Use the cruise control only where the driving conditions allow running at a constant speed
and at an adequate safe distance.
Do not use the cruise control in urban areas, heavy traffic, on winding or steep roads, on
slippery or flooded sur faces, in snow, if the front bumper is damaged or if the brake lamps
are faulty.
In certain circumstances, it may not be possible for the speed setting to be maintained or
even attained: loaded vehicle, ascending a steep hill, etc.
The system is not intended for the following situations:
-

t

he front end of the vehicle has been modified (addition of driving lamps, paint on the
bumper),
-

d

riving on a racing circuit,
-

r

unning on a rolling road,
-

u

se of snow chains, non-slip covers or studded tyres. Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The operation of the radar, located in the front bumper, may be disturbed by accumulations
of dirt (dust, mud, etc.) or in certain weather conditions (snow, ice, etc.).
The message "SYSTEM INACTIVE: Visibility reduced" is displayed to signal that the system
has been put into standby.
Clean the front bumper regularly.
When painting or touching up the paint on the front bumper, consult a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. Certain types of paint could hinder the operation of the radar. The use of mats not approved by CITROËN may inter fere with the operation of the cruise
control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
-

e

nsure that mats are secured correctly,
-

n

ever fit one mat on top of another.
