Activation/Deactivation
The state of the system stays in the
memory when the ignition is switched off.
The colour of the symbol depends on the
operating state of the system: (grey colour)
At least one of the operating
conditions is not met, the system is
paused.
(green colour)
All operating conditions are met, the
system is active. If the driver no longer wishes to benefit from
the system for a
while, they can deactivate it by
pressing the button again.
The indicator lamp in the button goes off and
the symbol disappears from the instrument
panel.
Cruise control
The driver must hold the steering wheel
properly.
When cruise control is activated, the symbol is
displayed in green: by small steering actions,
the system directs the vehicle and keeps it in
the position chosen by the driver, in the traffic
lane.
The driver can feel movements in the steering
wheel.
This position is not necessarily the centre of
the lane.
The driver can change the position of the
vehicle at any time, by turning the steering
wheel. When the driver feels that the vehicle's
position is appropriate, whilst keeping hands
on the steering wheel, they must release the
pressure to let the system resume control of the
steering, but the vehicle is not centred within
the lane automatically.
This function is primarily suitable for driving on
motor ways and main roads.
F With the adaptive cruise control activated, press this
button.
The action is confirmed by:
-

I
llumination of the indicator lamp in the button in green.
-

D
isplay of the following symbol in the instrument panel.
(orange colour)
The system has a fault.
Driving

153
Pausing/Suspension of the
system
The driver must inter vene as soon as
they believe that the traffic conditions or
the state of the road sur face make this
necessary, by moving the steering wheel
to suspend the system temporarily. Any
action at the brake pedal which results in
the cruise control being paused will also
cause the system to be paused.
If the system detects that the driver is
not holding the wheel firmly enough, it
triggers a series of gradual alerts and then
deactivates itself if there is no reaction
from the driver.
After suspension due to the prolonged
release of the force holding the steering
wheel, you must reactivate the function by
pressing the button again. Automatic pausing:
-

T
riggering of the ESC.
-
P
rolonged failure to detect one of the lane
limit markings. In this case, the active lane
departure warning function can take over,
and the system will reactivate itself once the
operating conditions are again met.

Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids
.
This system allows:
-

t
he driver to be warned that their vehicle is
at risk of collision with the vehicle in front,
a pedestrian or, depending on version, a
cyclist,
-

a c
ollision to be prevented, or its severity to
be limited, by reducing the vehicle's speed.

Active Safety Brake
Operation
- The vehicle's speed does not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) when a stationary vehicle
or a
cyclist is detected.
-

T
he vehicle's speed is above 6 mph
(10
km/h) (versions with camera and radar)
or between 6
mph and 53 mph (10 km/h and
85
km/h) (versions with camera alone) when
a
moving vehicle is detected.If the camera and/or radar have
confirmed the presence of a
vehicle,
a pedestrian or a
cyclist, this
warning lamp flashes (for about
10
seconds) when 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 control the vehicle at any
time by making a
deliberate movement
of 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
continuous illumination of this
warning lamp, accompanied by the
display of a
message and an audible
signal.
Contact a
CITROËN dealer or
a
qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
This function, also called automatic emergency
braking, inter venes following the alert if the
driver does not react quickly enough and does
not operate the vehicle's brakes.
It aims to reduce the speed of impact or avoid
a

frontal collision by your vehicle where the
driver fails to react.
The system operates under the following
conditions:
-

T

he vehicle's speed does not exceed
37

mph (60

km/h) when a

pedestrian is
detected.
Fatigue detection system
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
Take a
break as soon as you feel tired or at
least every two hours.
The function comprises the "Coffee Break
Alert" system combined with the "Driver
Attention Alert" system.

Active Lane Departure
Warning System
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids .Using a
camera located at the top of the
windscreen to identify lane markings on the
road and at 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 unintentionally crossing a line
or hard shoulder (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 and 112 mph (65 and 180 km/h).
The driver must hold the wheel with both
hands.
The change of trajectory must not be
accompanied by operation of the direction
indicators.
The ESC system must not be faulty.
The ASR /DSC systems must be activated.
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.
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.
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.
