The adaptive cruise control operates by
day and night, in fog or 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.
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.Collision Risk Alert and
Active Safety Brake
Conditions for operation
The Collision Risk Alert system only operates:
- w ith a vehicle pointing in the same direction,
moving or stationary,
-

w
ith pedestrians,
-

a
bove 4 mph (7 km/h) (and deactivates at
3
mph (5 km/h)).
The Active Safety Brake system only operates:
-

b
etween 3 and 87 mph (5 and 140 km/h), in
the case of a moving vehicle,
-

a
t a speed below 50 mph (80 km/h), in the
case of a stationary vehicle,
-

a
t a speed below 37 mph (60 km/h), in the
case of a pedestrian,
-
i

f the passenger seat belts are fastened,
-

i
f the vehicle is not accelerating sharply,
-

i
f the vehicle is not in a tight corner.
The Active Safety Brake system does not
operate:
-

i
f the front bumper is damaged,
-

i
f the system has been triggered in the last
10


seconds,
-

i
f the electronic stability control system has
a fault.
The Collision Risk Aler t system allows the
driver to be warned that their vehicle is at
risk of collision with the vehicle in front or a
pedestrian in their traffic lane.
The Active Safety Brake system inter venes
following the aler t if the driver does not
react quickly enough and does not operate
the vehicle's brakes.
If the driver fails to act, it contributes
towards avoiding a collision or limiting
its severity by reducing the speed of your
vehicle.
These systems use a radar located in the
front bumper and a camera at the top of the
windscreen.

Operating limits
In the following cases, deactivating the
system via the vehicle's configuration menu is
recommended:
-
w
hen towing a trailer or caravan,
-

w
hen a load on the roof rack extends
beyond the windscreen (for example: long
objects),
-

w
hen the vehicle is being towed, with the
engine running,
-

w
hen a "space-saver" type spare wheel is
fitted (if your vehicle has one),
-

w
hen on a rolling road for a ser vice in a
workshop,
-

w
hen in an automatic car wash,
-

i
f the brake lamps are not working. Because of limits in the operation of the
system, it is possible that warnings are
not given, are given too late or seem
unjustified. Consequently, always stay
alert and be prepared to react at any time
to avoid an accident.Collision Risk Alert
Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert threshold
chosen, different levels of alert can be
triggered and displayed in the instrument panel
or the head-up display.
This information also appears in the
head-up display. For more information
on the Head-up display, refer to the
corresponding section.
Level 1 : visual alert only, warning
you that the vehicle ahead is very
close.
A message is displayed warning you
to be vigilant when approaching the
target vehicle. This level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle
time between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front.
Level 2: visual and audible alert,
warning you that a collision is
imminent.
A message indicating that you
should brake is displayed.
This level of alert is based on the time before
collision. It takes account of the vehicle
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the
one in front, the environmental conditions, the
operation of the vehicle (cornering, pedals
pressed, etc.) to trigger the alert at the best
moment.
After an impact, the function automatically
stops operating. Consult a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
Where the speed of your vehicle is too
high approaching another vehicle, the first
level of alert may not be displayed: the
level 2 alert may be displayed directly.
Furthermore, the level 1
alert is never
displayed with the " Close" threshold.

or
The warning lamp in this button
flashes and a message appears,
accompanied by an audible signal.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. The system may suffer temporary
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.
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, do not place
the tip of the lance within 30
cm of the
sensors as other wise there is a risk of
damaging them.
In the event of a fault, these warning lamps
flash.

Front parking sensors
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.

Towing a trailer
We recommend using genuine CITROËN
towbars and their harnesses that have
been tested and approved from the
design stage of your vehicle, and having a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
fit the towbar.
If the towbar is not fitted by a CITROËN
dealer, it must still be fitted in accordance
with the vehicle manufacturer's
instructions.Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
Please respect the maximum authorised
towable weights indicated on the
registration certificate or in your vehicle’s
technical data.
For more information on Driving advice
,
particularly when towing, refer to the
corresponding section.
Energy economy mode
System which manages the duration of use of
certain functions to conser ve a sufficient level
of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use
functions such as the audio and telematics
system, windscreen wipers, dipped beam
headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for a
maximum combined duration of about forty
minutes.
Switching to this mode
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen indicating that the vehicle has switched
to economy mode and the active functions are
put on standby.
If a telephone call is being made at this
time, it will be maintained for around
10
minutes with the hands-free kit of your
audio system.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer.
