Active Safety Brake with
Collision Risk Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistanceThis system is designed to assist the
driver and improve road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to
continuously monitor the state of the
traffic, observing the driving regulations.
This system does not replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system allows:
-
t
he driver to be warned that their vehicle is
at risk of collision with the vehicle in front,
-
a c
ollision to be prevented, or its severity to
be limited, by reducing the vehicle’s speed.
This system is a driving aid that includes three
functions:
-
C
ollision Risk Alert (alert if there is a risk of
collision),
-
I
ntelligent emergency braking assistance,
-
A
ctive Safety Brake (automatic emergency
b r ak ing).
The vehicle has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen. As soon as the system detects a potential
obstacle, it prepares the braking circuit in
case automatic braking is needed. This
may cause a slight noise and a slight
sensation of deceleration.
You can memorise several speed settings for
each system.
By default, some speed settings are already
memorised.
Deactivation/Activation
By default, the system is automatically
activated at every engine start.
The system can be deactivated or
activated via the vehicle settings
menu.
Deactivation of the system is
signalled by the illumination of this
indicator lamp, accompanied by the
display of a message.

A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on
the side in question:
-
f
ixed , immediately, when being overtaken,
-
f
lashing , after a delay of about one second,
when overtaking a vehicle slowly, and when
the direction indicator is used.
This system is designed to improve safety
when driving and is in no circumstances
a substitute for the use of the interior
rear view mirror and door mirrors. It is
the driver's responsibility to constantly
check the traffic, to assess the relative
distances and speeds of other vehicles
and to anticipate their movements before
deciding whether to change lane. The alert is given by a warning lamp which
comes on in the door mirror on the side in
question as soon as a vehicle – car, lorry,
bicycle – is detected and the following
conditions are fulfilled:
-
a

Fatigue detection system
Take a break as soon as you feel tired or at
least every two hours.
Depending on version, the function relies either
on the "Driver Attention Warning" system alone
or combined with the "Driver Attention Alert"
system.
These systems cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part of
the driver who must remain in control of their
decisions. In no case can these systems
keep the driver awake or prevent them from
falling asleep at the wheel.
It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if they
feel tired.
Activation/Deactivation
The function is activated or
deactivated via the vehicle
configuration menu.
The state of the system stays in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.
Driver Attention 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).
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).
Driver Attention Alert
Depending on version, the "Driver Attention
Warning" may be combined with the "Driver
Attention Alert".Using a camera placed at the top
of the windscreen, the system
assesses the driver's level of
vigilance by identifying variations
in trajectory compared to the lane
markings.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed faster than 40
mph (65 km/h)).
This alert is issued via the display of a
message encouraging you to take a break,
accompanied by an audible signal.
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.
When the system interprets the behaviour of
the vehicle as indicating a certain fatigue or
inattention threshold on the part of the driver, it
triggers the first level of alert.
The driver is then alerted by the message
"Ta k e c a r e ! ", accompanied by an audible
signal.

Maintenance
recommendations
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow. When reverse gear is engaged, an
audible signal (long beep) indicates that
the sensors may be dirty.
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, keep the
lance at least 30 cm away from the
sensors.
-
A f
ront or rear impact to the vehicle can
distort the settings of the sensors, which is
not always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be incorrect.
-
T
he tilting of the vehicle if the boot is
very loaded can affect the distance
measurements.
-
T
he sensors may be affected by poor
weather conditions (heavy rain, thick fog,
snowfall, etc.).

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.

During a manoeuvre, the steering wheel
turns quickly: do not hold the steering
wheel, do not place your hand between
the spokes of the steering wheel. Watch
out for anything likely to block the
manoeuvre (loose and bulky clothing,
scar ves, ties, etc.) – Risks of injury!
It is the driver's responsibility to monitor
the state of the traffic continuously,
especially vehicles coming towards you.
The driver should check that no object
or person can hinder the advance of the
vehicle.
The images from the camera(s) displayed
on the touch screen may be distorted by
the relief.
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and
with lower contrast.
The manoeuvre can be interrupted definitively
at any time, either by the driver or by the
system automatically. By the driver's action:
-
t

Interrupting the manoeuvre automatically
deactivates the function. The manoeuvre symbol is displayed in red,
accompanied by the "
Manoeuvre cancelled "
message on the touch screen.
A message encourages the driver to take back
control of the vehicle.
The function is deactivated after
a few seconds, this warning lamp
goes off and the function returns to
the initial display.
End of the parking space entry or
exit manoeuvre
The vehicle stops as soon as the manoeuvre is
completed.
The manoeuvring symbol is displayed in red
accompanied by the " Manoeuvre completed "
message on the touch screen.
Deactivation of the function is
confirmed by this indicator lamp
going off, accompanied by an
audible signal.
If entering a parking space, the driver may be
required to complete the manoeuvre.

Operating faults
When the function is not activated,
this warning lamp temporarily
flashing and an audible signal
indicate a system fault.
If the fault occurs during the use of the system,
the warning lamp goes off. If the fault in the parking sensors,
indicated by this warning lamp
coming on, occurs during use, it
causes the function to deactivate.
In the event of a fault, have the system checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. In the event of a fault with the
power steering, this warning lamp
flashes in the instrument panel,
accompanied by a message.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Under-inflation detection
This system automatically monitors the tyre
pressure while driving. The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised after ever y tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change
.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres.
The tyre under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
This system still requires you to check
the tyre inflation pressures (including
the spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes early tyre wear, particularly in
adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys).Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption. The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings
, refer to the
corresponding section.
Tyre pressures should be checked when
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1 hour or after a journey of less than
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to the
pressures shown on the label.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Under-inflation alert
This warning is indicated by fixed
illumination of this warning lamp, an
audible signal and, depending on
the equipment installed, a message

Compatibility of fuels
Fuel used for petrol engines
The petrol engines are compatible with biofuels
that conform to current and future European
standards and which can be obtained from
filling stations:Petrol that meets standard EN228,
mixed with a biofuel that meets
standard EN15376.
The only petrol additives authorised for
use are those that meet the B715001
standard.
Fuel used for Diesel
engines
Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN16734 mixed with a biofuel that meets
standard EN14214 (possibly containing
up to 10% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester),
Paraffinic Diesel fuel that meets
standard EN15940
mixed with a biofuel
that meets standard EN14214 (possibly
containing up to 7% Fatty Acid Methyl
Ester).
B20 or B30 fuel that meets the standard
EN16709 can be used with your Diesel
engine. However, the use of this
fuel, even occasional, requires strict
application of the special ser vicing
conditions referred to as "Arduous
conditions".
For more information, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop. The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel, etc.) is strictly prohibited
(risk of damage to the engine and fuel
syste m). The only Diesel additives authorised for
use are those that meet the B715000
standard.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0°C (+32°F), the
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel
fuels could result in an abnormal operation
of the fuel supply circuit. To avoid this, we
recommend using winter-type Diesel fuel and
keeping the fuel tank more than 50% full.
If, despite this, at temperatures below -15°C
(+5°F) the engine has problems starting,
just leave the vehicle in a garage or heated
workshop for a little while.
Travelling abroad
Certain fuels could damage your vehicle’s
engine.
In certain countries, the use of a particular
fuel may be required (specific octane rating,
specific trade name, etc.) to ensure correct
operation of the engine.
For any additional information, contact a dealer.
The Diesel engines are compatible with
biofuels that conform to current and future
European standards and which can be
obtained from filling stations:
Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN590
mixed with a biofuel that meets
standard EN14214 (possibly containing
up to 7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester),
