Operating fault
Depending on your vehicle's equipment:In the event of a fault with the
system, this warning lamp flashes in
the instrument panel.
The indicator lamp in this button
flashes and a message appears,
accompanied by an audible signal. Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If a fault occurs 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
lever in position N and put your foot on the
brake pedal.
With the vehicle stationary, you must switch off
the ignition and then start the engine again.
Head-up display
System which projects various information onto
a blade in the driver's field of vision so that they
do not have to take their eyes off the road.
Displays during operation
A.
The speed of your vehicle.
B. Cruise control/speed limiter information.
C. If your vehicle is so equipped, inter-
vehicle distance information, automatic
emergency braking alerts and navigation
instructions.
D. If your vehicle is so equipped, speed limit
information.
Driving on flooded roads
Before driving in a flooded area, 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.
Once the system has been activated, the
following information is grouped together in the
head-up display:

In certain extreme weather conditions
(rain and/or snow, bright sunshine, etc.),
the head-up display may not be legible or
may suffer temporary interference.
Some sunglasses may hamper reading of
the information.
To clean the blade, use a clean, soft cloth
(such as a spectacles cloth or microfibre
cloth). Do not use a dry or abrasive cloth
or detergent or solvent products as these
could scratch the blade or damage the
anti-reflection coating.
This system operates when the engine is
running, and the settings are stored when
the ignition is switched off.Memorising speeds
This function allows speed settings to
be stored that will then be offered for
configuration of two systems: speed limiter
or cruise control.
You can memorise up to six speed settings for
each system.

Speed limiter ("LIMIT")
System which prevents the
vehicle from exceeding the speed
programmed by the driver.
Once the programmed speed limit is reached,
additional pressure on the accelerator pedal
has no effect.
The speed setting value is stored when
the ignition is switched off.

vehicle at the value programmed
by the driver, without any action
on the accelerator pedal.

Adaptive cruise control
("CRUISE")
This systems allows the vehicle's
speed to be maintained at a value
set by the driver.
Activation/Deactivation
The cruise control
selection thumbwheel
must be at the "CRUISE"
position, otherwise the
selection is not taken into
account.
The system is activated

control".
The state of the system is memorised on
switching off the ignition.
Steering mounted controls
By default, the inter-vehicle distance is set
at " Normal ".
Other wise, the last setting made will be
used when switching on the system.
In addition it allows (when circumstances
permit) an inter-vehicle time that you have
selected to be maintained between your
vehicle and the one in front.

Changing the inter-vehicle
distance
This value remains in memory, regardless of
the state of the system.In the event of the presence of a vehicle
detected by the inter-vehicle distance
radar, if the speed selected is too far
above the speed of that vehicle, the
system is not activated and the alert
message "Activation not possible,
conditions unsuitable" is displayed until
driving conditions are safe to allow
activation of the system.
The inter-vehicle distance setting is
memorised when the ignition is
switched off.
Exceeding programmed
speed
F Press button 6 to select a new inter-vehicle
distance setting from the 3 levels ("Close",
" Normal ", "Distant "). It is possible to exceed the
programmed speed temporarily by
depressing the accelerator pedal.
Simply release the accelerator pedal
to return to the programmed speed.
Pause
The adaptive cruise control can be paused
manually with the control, or automatically: -
w
hen an inter-vehicle distance threshold is
reached (calculated according to the relative
speeds of your vehicle and the vehicle in
front and the inter-vehicle distance setting
selected),
-

Driving situations and
associated alerts
The table below describes the alerts and

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)).

With audio system
To deactivate the system:
With the touch screen
In the "Driving/Vehicle " menu,

when towing with a towbar approved by
CITROËN.

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.
