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.

Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the
system, you are alerted by the
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal.
If the fault persists, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked. If one of the two sensors (camera or radar)
is masked or its visibility is reduced, while
the other sensor is able to work normally,
the system still operates, but at a lower
level of per formance. No message or
warning lamp indicates this.
To ensure correct operation of the radar,
do not paint over the paintwork on the
vehicle's bumper.
Poor weather conditions (very heavy
rain, accumulation of snow in front of the
radar and the camera) may hinder the
operation of the system, with the display of
an operating fault message. The function
remains unavailable until the message
disappears.

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.

interference in certain weather conditions
(rain, hail, etc.).
In particular, driving on a wet sur face
or moving from a dry area to a wet area
can cause false alerts (for example, the
presence of a fog of water droplets in
the blind spot angle is interpreted as a
vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow.
Take care not to cover the warning zone in
the door mirrors or the detection zones on
the front and rear bumpers with adhesive
labels or other objects; they may hamper
the correct operation of the system.

In addition to the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when an
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6
mph (10 km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or
rear) indicates whether the obstacle is in
front or behind.

The alert is kept active until the system is
reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressures of one or more
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels.Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use
of the vehicle and conform to the
recommendations on the tyre pressure
label.
The under-inflation alert can only be relied
on if the reinitialisation of the system has
been done with the pressures in the four
tyres correctly adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
Initialisation of the system is done with the
ignition on and the vehicle stationary. The new pressure parameters saved are
treated as reference values by the system.
With audio system
In the "
Personalisation-
configuration " menu, select
" Under-inflation initialisation ".
With touch screen
In the "Driving/Vehicle "
menu, select " Under-inflation
initialisation ".
Press on " Ye s" to Confirm the command,
initialisation is confirmed by an audible signal
and a message.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning lamp accompanied
by illumination of the Ser vice warning lamp
indicates a fault with the system. In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer assured.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
After carrying out any work on the system,
the pressures of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.
