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 (within a limit of 20
mph (30 km/h))
and then keeps it at the speed of the vehicle in front so as to obser ve the programmed
inter-vehicle time.
When automatically slowing down behind a vehicle, your true speed may be higher than
the "adjusted speed" displayed.
"SPEED ADJUSTED" When the adjusted speed reaches the limit of regulation (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 that it can make and in the absence of
any reaction by the driver (operation of the direction indicator, change of lane, reduction in
the speed of the vehicle), the system is automatically paused.
The display of the deactivation message is accompanied by an audible signal.

Programming the alert
thresholds
The thresholds for triggering an alert determine
how you wish to be warned of the presence of a
vehicle moving or stationary ahead of you, or a
pedestrian in your traffic lane.
You can select one of three thresholds:
- "Distant ", to be warned early (cautious
driving).
-
"Normal ".
-
"Close ", to be warned later.
With audio system
In the " Personalisation-
configuration " menu, activate/
deactivate " Auto. emergency
braking ".
Then change the alert threshold.
With the touch screen
In the " Driving/Vehicle " menu,
activate/deactivate " Collision risk
alert and automatic braking ".
Then change the alert threshold.
Press " Confirm " to save the change.
Active Safety Brake
If the radar and the camera have
confirmed the presence of a vehicle
or a pedestrian, this warning
lamp flashes when the system is
operating. Important
: if operation of the
automatic emergency braking is
triggered, you should take back
control of your vehicle and brake
with the pedal to add to or finish the
automatic braking.
The driver can take back control of the vehicle
at any time by sharply turning the steering
wheel and/or pressing the accelerator pedal.
The point at which braking is triggered
may be adjusted depending on the driving
actions of the driver, such as movement
of the steering wheel or actions on the
accelerator pedal.
Operation of the system may be felt by
slight vibration in the brake pedal.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
the automatic braking is maintained for
1 to 2 seconds.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of
automatic emergency braking until the
vehicle comes to a complete stop, the
vehicle may stall.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event
of automatic emergency braking until the
vehicle comes to a complete stop, keep
the brake pedal pressed down to prevent
the vehicle from starting off again.
This function, also called automatic emergency
braking, aims to reduce the speed of impact or
avoid a frontal collision by your vehicle where
the driver fails to react.
Using a radar and a camera, this system acts
on the vehicle's braking system.

Fatigue detection system
It is recommended that you take a break as
soon as you feel tired or at least every two
hours.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.
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).If the driver does not follow this advice, the
alert is repeated hourly until the vehicle is
stopped.
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
minutes,
-
t
he driver's seat belt is unfastened and their
door is open.
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).
Activation/Deactivation
The system is activated or deactivated via the
vehicle configuration menu.
With audio system
In the "Personalisation-
configuration " menu, activate/
deactivate " Fatigue Detection
System ".
With the touch screen
In the "Driving/Vehicle " menu,
activate/deactivate " Fatigue
Detection System ".
This alert is issued via the display of a
message encouraging you to take a break,
accompanied by an audible signal.
Driver attention alert
Depending on version, the "Driving time
warning" may be combined with the "Driver
attention alert". The system assesses the driver's
level of alertness by identifying
trajectory changes in relation to the
lane markings.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 40
mph (65 km/h)).

Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with
the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them
up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.The fluid must comply with the
manufacturer's recommendations and with
the vehicle's engine.
Take care when working under the bonnet,
as certain areas of the engine may be
extremely hot (risk of burns) and the
cooling fan could start at any time (even
with the ignition off).
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health
or indeed very corrosive. Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop and dispose of
it in the containers reser ved for this
purpose.
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles equipped with an
electric gauge, or using the dipstick.
To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a level sur face
with the engine stopped for more than
30
minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two ser vices (or oil changes). CITROËN
recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3,000
miles (5,000 km).
Checking using the dipstick
The location of the dipstick is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.
F

W
ipe the end of the dipstick using a clean
non-fluffy cloth.
F
R
efit the dipstick and push fully down, then
pull it out again to make the visual check:
the correct level is between marks A and B .
A = MA X
B = MIN
If you find that the level is above the A mark or
below the B mark, do not star t the engine .
-
I
f the level is above the MAX mark (risk of
damage to the engine), contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
-

Refer to the manufacturer's
ser vice schedule for details of
the replacement inter val for this
component.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle
(e.g. city driving), replace it twice as often if
necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment
filter may have an adverse effect on
the per formance of the air conditioning
system and generate undesirable odours.
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer’s
ser vice schedule for details of
the replacement inter val for this
component.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle
filter is indicated by the temporary
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a message about
the risk of the filter clogging up. As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed
of at least 37
mph (60 km/h) until the
warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates
a low Diesel additive level.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell, which
is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the
environment.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Parking brakeIf excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be checked, even between two
services.
Checking this system must be done by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Brake padsBrake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
