Speed limiter
This system prevents the vehicle
from exceeding the speed
programmed by the driver.
The speed limiter is switched on manually.
The minimum programmed speed is 19
mph
(30
km/h).
The programmed speed value remains in the
system memory when the ignition is switched
of f. The speed limiter is a driving aid that
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the
need to obser ve speed limits or the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver.
This function is a driving aid that cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the driver’s
own vigilance nor compliance with the
highway code.
The actual signs always take priority over
the display by the system.
The signs must comply with the Vienna
Convention on road signs.
One-way street: if you start driving down a one-
way street the wrong way, an alert message,
including the sign's symbol, is displayed in the
instrument panel (request to check the traffic
direction).
Other signs: when approaching one of these
signs, the sign’s symbol is displayed in the
instrument panel.

The brake lamps illuminate as soon as
the braking system is activated with
deceleration of the vehicle.This system is a driving aid that cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the need to
obser ve speed limits and safety distances,
nor the need for vigilance on the part of
the driver.
Some vehicles present on the road may
not be properly seen or may be poorly
interpreted by the camera (e.g. a lorry),
which may lead to a poor assessment
of the distances and lead to the vehicle
inappropriately accelerating or braking.
The driver must be ready at all times to
retake control of their vehicle by keeping
both hands on the steering wheel and
keeping the feet near the brake and
accelerator pedals.

If the camera has confirmed
the presence of a vehicle or a
pedestrian, this warning lamp
flashes (for about 10 seconds) once
the function is acting on the vehicle's
brakes.
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.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of
automatic emergency braking until the vehicle
comes to a complete stop, the engine may stall.
The driver can maintain control of the
vehicle at any time by sharply turning
the steering wheel and/or pressing the
accelerator pedal.
Operation of the function 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.
Active Lane Departure
Warning System
Using a camera located at the top of the
windscreen to identify lane markings on the
ground and the edges of the road (depending
on version), the system corrects the trajectory
of the vehicle while alerting the driver if it
detects a risk of involuntarily crossing a line or
roadside (depending on version).
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.
Conditions for operation
The speed of the vehicle must be between
40 mph and 112 mph (65 km/h and 180 km/h).
The driver must hold the steering wheel with both
hands.
The change of trajectory must not be
accompanied by operation of the direction
indicators.
The ESC system must be activated and fault-free.
This system is a driving aid that cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the driver’s own
vigilance. The driver must remain in control
of the vehicle under all circumstances.
The system helps the driver only when
there is a risk of the vehicle involuntarily
wandering from the lane it is being driven
in. It does not manage the safe driving
distance, the speed of the vehicle or the
brakes.
The driver must hold the steering wheel
with both hands in a way that allows control
to be maintained in circumstances where
the system is not able to inter vene (if lane
markings disappear, for example).
It is necessary to obser ve the driving
regulations and take a break every two
hours.
Malfunction
In the event of a fault with the system,
you are alerted by the continuous
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal.
If these warning lamps come
on after the engine has been
switched off and restarted, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked.
- The vehicle's speed must be between 6 mph
and 53 mph (10 km/h and 85 km/h) when a
moving vehicle is detected.

Operation
Once the system identifies a risk of the vehicle
involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings
detected or a lane limit (e.g. grass border),
it makes the correction to the trajectory
necessary to return the vehicle to its initial path.
The driver will notice a turning movement of the
steering wheel.This warning lamp flashes during
trajectory correction.
The driver can prevent the correction by
keeping a firm grip on the wheel (during
an avoiding manoeuvre, for example).
The correction is interrupted if the
direction indicators are operated. If the system detects that the driver is not
holding the wheel firmly enough during
an automatic correction of trajectory,
it interrupts the correction. An alert is
triggered to encourage the driver to take
back control of the vehicle.
Deactivation/Activation
The system is reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched on.
Driving situations and
associated alerts
The table below describes the alerts and
messages displayed depending on the driving
situation.
The display of these alerts is not sequential.
While the direction indicators are on and for
a few seconds after switching them off, the
system considers that any change of trajectory
is voluntary and no correction is triggered
during this period.
F
P
ress and hold this button to deactivate the
system at any time.
Deactivation is signalled by the
illumination of the warning lamp in
the button and of this warning lamp
in the instrument panel.
Reactivation is achieved by a short press.

During a correction, if the driver is inactive
(not holding the steering wheel for
10 seconds), a warning message appears.
If the driver remains inactive (not holding
the steering wheel for 2
more seconds),
the correction is interrupted.Risk of undesirable operation
Deactivation of the system is recommended in
the following situations:
-
d
riving on a road sur face in poor condition,
-
u
nfavourable climatic conditions,
-
d

The internal sur face of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
conceal the detection camera.
In certain driving conditions (poor road
sur face or strong winds), the system may
give alerts independent of the driver's
level of vigilance.
After three first level alerts, the system triggers
a new alert with the message "
Take a break!",
accompanied by a more pronounced audible
signal.
Parking sensors
This function is a manoeuvring aid which
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must remain attentive and stay
in control of their vehicle.
They must always check the vehicle’s
surroundings before undertaking a
manoeuvre.
During the entire manoeuvre, the driver
must ensure that the space remains clear.
Using sensors located in the bumper, this
function warns of the proximity of obstacles
(e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) entering
their field of detection.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
g e a r.
This is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear.
Audible assistance
The function signals the presence of obstacles
present both within the sensors’ detection
zone and in the vehicle path defined by the
orientation of the steering wheel.

Zoom view
The camera records the vehicle's surroundings
during the manoeuvre in order to create a
view from above the rear of the vehicle in its
near surroundings, allowing the vehicle to be
manoeuvred around obstacles nearby.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the
view selection menu.
Park Assist
This system provides active parking
assistance: it detects a parking space and then
steers in the appropriate direction to park in
this space while the driver controls the driving
direction, engagement of gears, acceleration
and braking.
To assist the driver in monitoring the
correct manoeuvring operation, the system
automatically triggers the display of Top
Rear Vision and the activation of the parking
sensors.This system is a manoeuvring aid that
cannot under any circumstances replace
the vigilance of the driver.
The driver must remain in control of their
vehicle. He or she must always check
the surroundings of the vehicle before
undertaking a manoeuvre and ensure that
the space remains clear during the entire
manoeuvre.
The blue lines 1 represent the width of your
vehicle, with the mirrors unfolded; their
direction changes depending on the position of
the steering wheel.
The red line 2 represents a distance of 30
cm
from the bumper; the two blue lines 3 and 4
represent 1
m and 2
m, respectively.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the
view selection menu. Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are in reality.
It is important to check the sides of the
vehicle during the manoeuvre, using the
mirrors.
The rear parking sensors also provide
information on the vehicle's surroundings.
180° view
The 180° view facilitates reversing out of a
parking bay, making it possible to see the
approach of vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.
This view is not recommended for carrying out
a complete manoeuvre.It consists of 3 areas: left A
, centre B and
right C .
This view is available only from the view
selection menu.
The system per forms the measurements of
available parking spaces and calculations of
distances to obstacles using ultrasonic sensors
built into the front and rear bumpers of the
vehicle.
