Adjusting the Speed Limit
recognition and recommendation
setting
You do not have to switch the speed limiter on
in order to set the speed.
To modify the limit speed setting from the
current speed of the vehicle:
F
i
n steps of +/- 1 mph (km/h), make
successive short presses on button 2
or 3,
F
c
ontinuously, in steps of +/- 5 mph (km/h),
press and hold button 2
or 3.
To modify the limit speed setting using
memorised speeds and from the touch screen:
F
p
ress button 5 to display the memorised
speed settings,
F
p
ress the button for the desired speed
setting.
The selection screen closes after a
few
moments.
This setting becomes the new limit speed.
To modify the limit speed setting from the
speed suggested by the vehicle Speed Limit
recognition and recommendation:
F
t
he speed suggested is displayed in the
instrument panel,
F
m
ake a first press on button 5 ; a message
is displayed to confirm the memorisation
request,
F
p
ress button 5 again to save the suggested
speed.
The speed displays immediately in the
instrument panel as the new speed setting.
Temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed
F Press firmly on the accelerator pedal,
going beyond the point of resistance, to
exceed the programmed speed limit.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the displayed programmed speed flashes.
An audible signal accompanies the flashing
of the programmed speed when exceeding
the speed is not due to an action by the driver
(steep hill, etc.).
As soon as the vehicle's speed returns to the
programmed value, the limiter operates again:
the display of the programmed speed becomes
steady again.
Switching off
F Turn wheel 1 to the 0 position. The display
of information related to the speed limiter
disappears.
Malfunction
Flashing of the dashes indicates a fault with the
sp eed limiter.
Have it checked by a
CITROËN dealer or
a
qualified workshop. On sharp acceleration, as when
descending a
steep hill, the speed limiter
will not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
An audible signal accompanies the
flashing of the programmed speed when
exceeding the speed is not due to an
action by the driver.
The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with the operation
of the speed limiter.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
-
e
nsure that the mat is positioned
c o r r e c t l y,
-
n
ever fit one mat on top of another.
Cruise control "CRUISE"
System which automatically
maintains the speed of the vehicle
at the value programmed by the
driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal.
Driving
151
When the cruise control is switched on, be
careful if you maintain the pressure on one
of the programmed speed modification
buttons: this may result in a very rapid
change in the speed of your vehicle.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads or in heavy traffic.
When descending a
steep hill, the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the programmed speed.
On steep climbs or when towing, the
programmed speed may not be reached
or maintained.
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 mats are secured correctly,
-
n
ever fit one mat on top of another.Adaptive cruise control
The system allows the speed of
your vehicle to be maintained at the
setting you have made, and also to
respect the inter-vehicle time that
you have selected between your
vehicle and the one in front, when
the situation permits it.
Switching between the
types of cruise control
The choice between "adaptive" and "standard"
cruise control is made in the Driving menu.
F
T
urn the cruise control wheel to
the "CRUISE" position.
F
I
n the Driving menu, select the Driving
functions tab and then Active cruise
control to activate or deactivate adaptive
cruise control.
For more information on the Cruise
control , refer to the corresponding
section.
Principles of operation
Using radar with a range of about 100 metres,
l ocated at the front of the vehicle, this system
detects a
vehicle travelling in front of your
vehicle.
It automatically adapts the speed of your
vehicle to that of the vehicle in front.
If the vehicle in front is travelling more slowly,
the system progressively reduces the speed of
your vehicle using just engine braking (as if the
driver had pressed the " -" b u t to n).
If your vehicle is too close to the vehicle in
front or is approaching it too quickly, adaptive
cruise control is automatically deactivated.
The driver is then alerted by an audible signal
accompanied by a
message.
If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes
lane, the adaptive cruise control gradually
accelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed speed.
If the driver operates the direction indicator to
the left (left-hand drive) or to the right (right-
hand drive), to overtake a
slower vehicle, the
adaptive cruise control allows your vehicle to
temporarily approach the vehicle in front to
assist the overtaking manoeuvre, though never
exceeding the programmed speed.
The adaptive cruise control operates
by day and at night, in fog or moderate
rainfall.

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.

During manoeuvring phases, the steering
wheel per forms rapid turns: do not hold
the steering wheel, do not put your hands
between the spokes of the steering wheel.
Watch out for any object that could block
the manoeuvre (loose clothing, scar ves,
ties, etc.) - injury risk!
When the Park Assist is active, it prevents
the Stop & Start going into STOP mode.
In STOP mode, activating Park Assist
restarts the engine.
The Park Assist system takes control
of the assistance for a maximum of
4
manoeuvre cycles. The function is
deactivated after these 4
cycles. If you
think that your vehicle is not positioned
correctly, you should then take control of
the steering to carry out the manoeuvre. The sequence of manoeuvres and the
driving instructions are displayed in the
instrument panel.
You should always check the surroundings
of your vehicle before starting
a
manoeuvre.The parking sensors function is
not available during parking space
measurement. It intervenes later when
manoeuvring to warn you that your vehicle
is approaching an obstacle: the audible
signal becomes continuous when the
obstacle is less than thirty centimetres
away.
If you have deactivated the parking
sensors, they are automatically
reactivated during assisted parking
manoeuvres.
Activation of Park Assist deactivates the
Blind Spot Detection.

Brake fluid level
The fluid level should be close to the
"MA X" mark. If it is not, check the
brake pad wear.
Fluid specification
The fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly.
It is normal to top up the fluid
between two services.
The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low coolant level presents a
risk of serious
damage to your engine.
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top up. To avoid the risk of scalding when you need to
top up in an emergency, wrap a
cloth around
the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to
allow the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up to the required level.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be
caught by the fan blades.
Fluid specification
This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Screenwash/headlamp
wash level low
In the case of vehicles fitted with
headlamp washers, when the fluid
reser voir low level is reached this
warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a
message.
The warning lamp comes on when the ignition
is switched on, or every time the stalk is
operated, until the reser voir is refilled.
The next time you stop, have the screenwash/
headlamp wash reser voir topped up.
Diesel fuel additive level
(Diesel with particle filter)
The additive reser voir low level is
indicated by fixed illumination of this
warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a
message that
the particle filter additive level is
too low.
To p p i n g u p
This additive must be topped up without delay
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Level of AdBlue
An alert is triggered once the reser ve level is
reached.
To avoid the vehicle being immobilised as per
regulations, you must top up with AdBlue.
For more information on AdBlue and the SCR
system, and, in particular, topping up the tank,
refer to the corresponding section.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of the
coolant is regulated by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any
work.
