F
ollowing an impact on the front bumper.
Be particularly careful:
-

W
hen motorcycles are present and
when there are vehicles staggered
onto the traffic lane.
-

W
hen you enter a tunnel or cross
a
bridge. The cruise control operates by day and
night, in fog or moderate rainfall.
However, it is strongly recommended
that you always adapt your speed and
your safety distance from vehicles ahead
according to the driving conditions, the
weather and the road surface.
Use the cruise control only where
the driving conditions allow running
at a
constant speed and keeping an
adequate safety distance.
Do not activate the cruise control in urban
areas where pedestrians are likely to
cross the road, in heavy traffic, on winding
or steep roads, on slippery or flooded
roads, when there is snowfall, if the front
bumper is damaged or when the brake
lamps have failed.
In certain circumstances, it may not
be possible for the speed setting to be
maintained or even reached: loaded
vehicle, ascending a
steep hill, etc.The system is not intended for the
following situations:
-

t
he front end of the vehicle has been
modified (addition of long-range
headlamps, painting of the front
bumper),
-

d
riving on a racing track,
-

d
riving on a rolling road,
-

u
se of snow chains, non-slip covers or
studded tyres.
The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with the operation
of the cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
-

e
nsure that the mat is secured
c o r r e c t l y,
-

n
ever fit one mat on top of another.

Clean the front bumper regularly.
If the front bumper is to be repainted or
retouched, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a
qualified workshop. Certain types of
paint could inter fere with the operation of
the radar.
Malfunction
If the cruise control
malfunctions, dashes are
displayed instead of the
cruise control speed setting.
If this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an
alert message and an
audible signal, this confirms
a


malfunction.
The adaptive cruise control deactivates
automatically if the use of a "space-saver"
type spare wheel is detected or if there is
a

malfunction on the lateral brake lamps or
trailer brake lamps (for approved trailers).
The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
from working:
-
p
oor visibility (inadequate street
lighting, falling snow, heavy rain, dense
f o g , e t c .),
-

d

azzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on a

damp
road, leaving a

tunnel, alternating
shade and light, etc.),
-

c

amera or radar masked (mud, frost,
snow, condensation, etc.).
In these situations, detection performance
may be reduced.
The message "SYSTEM INACTIVE:
Reduced visibility". is displayed to indicate
that the function is in standby. Have the system checked by a
CITROËN
dealer or a

qualified workshop.
Active Safety Brake with
Collision Risk Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
The 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

after the use of the "space-saver" type
spare wheel is detected, or if a
fault with
the lateral brake lamps is detected.
It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
Consequently, always stay in control of
your vehicle and be prepared to react at
any time to avoid an accident.
After an impact, the function automatically
stops operating. Contact a
CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the
system checked.

Collision Risk Alert
It warns the driver if their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the vehicle in front or a pedestrian
present in their traffic lane.
Modifying the alert trigger
threshold
This threshold determines how you wish
to be alerted of the presence of a moving
or stationary vehicle in front of you, or
a
pedestrian present in your traffic lane.
The current threshold can only be
modified via the touch screen's
Driving menu.
You can select one of three predefined
thresholds:
-
"Distant ",
-
"Normal ",
-
"Close ".
The last threshold selected is kept in memory
when the ignition is switched off.
Operation
Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert threshold
chosen by the driver, different levels of
alert can be triggered and displayed in the
instrument panel.
Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the camera.
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.
Clean the front bumper, especially around
the radar, removing mud, snow, etc.

Driving

169
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.
Malfunction
In the event of a fault with the
s ystem, you are alerted by the
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of
a


message and an audible signal.
Lane Departure Warning
System
Using a camera located at the top of the
w indscreen to identify lane markings on the
ground, the system corrects the trajectory of
the vehicle while alerting the driver if it detects
a
risk of involuntary crossing of a line.
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.Operation
Once the system identifies a risk of the vehicle
i nvoluntarily crossing one of the lane markings
detected, it makes the correction to the
trajectory required 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.
Contact a

CITROËN dealer or a

qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
6
Driving

170
If the driver wishes to maintain the
trajectory of the vehicle, they 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.
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.
However, with the Blind Spot Detection system
activated, if the driver starts changing lanes
and another vehicle is detected in the vehicle's
blind spot, the system will correct the trajectory
of the vehicle even though the direction
indicators are on.
For more information on the Blind Spot
Detection , refer to the corresponding section. 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.
Driving situations and
associated alerts
To benefit from all necessary information on
the instrument panel, you must previously
select the "DRIVING" display mode.
The table below describes the alerts and
messages displayed depending on the driving
situation.
