The system also takes motorcyclists and
animals into account; however, animals
below 0.5 m tall and objects on the road
are not necessarily detected.
This system is comprised of three functions:
-
C
ollision Risk Alert,
-
I
ntelligent emergency braking assistance,
-
A
ctive Safety Brake (automatic emergency
b r ak ing).
The vehicle has a
multifunctional camera
located at the top of the windscreen, and,
depending on version, a radar located in the
front bumper. 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.
Deactivation/Activation
By default, the system is automatically
activated at every engine start.
This system can be deactivated or
activated via the Driving /Vehicle
menu of the touch screen.
Deactivation of the system is
signalled by the illumination of this
indicator lamp, accompanied by the
display of a
message.
Operating conditions and
limits
The ESC system must not be faulty.
The DSC/ASR systems must not be
deactivated.
All passenger seat belts must be fastened.
Driving at a steady speed on roads with few
bends is required. In the following cases, deactivating the system
via the vehicle's configuration menu is advised:
-
t
owing a trailer,
-
c
arrying long objects on roof bars or roof
rack,
-
w
ith snow chains fitted,
-
b
efore using an automatic car wash, with
the engine running,
-
b
efore placing the vehicle on a rolling road
in a workshop,
-
t
owed vehicle, engine running,
-
d
amaged front bumper (version with radar),
-
f
ollowing an impact to the windscreen close
to the detection camera.
The system is automatically deactivated
after the use of certain "space-saver"
type spare wheels is detected (smaller
diameter).
The system is automatically deactivated
after detection of a fault with the brake
pedal switch or with at least two brake
lamps.
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.

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.

The sound emitted by the speaker (front or
rear) locates the obstacle in relation to the
vehicle, in front or behind.
Deactivation/Activation
The function is deactivated and
activated in the Driving/Vehicle
menu of the touch screen.
The state of the system stays in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.
The rear parking sensors system will
be deactivated automatically if a
trailer
or bicycle carrier is connected to
a
towing device installed in line with the
manufacturer's recommendations.
In this case, the outline of a
trailer is
displayed at the rear of the image of the
vehicle. The parking sensors are deactivated while the
Park Assist system is measuring a
space.
For more information on the Park Assist , refer
to the corresponding section.
Operating limits
The tilting of the vehicle if the boot is very
loaded can affect the distance measurements.
Malfunction
If a malfunction occurs, when
s hifting to reverse, one of these
warning lamps comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
the display of a
message and an
audible signal (short beep).
If the malfunction occurs while the
parking sensors are being used, it
causes the function to deactivate.
Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.

The area in front of your vehicle is displayed in
the screen. The camera records the vehicle's surroundings
during the manoeuvre in order to create
a
view from above the front 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

The 180° view assists with exiting from
a parking bay in forward gear, 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.
Park Assist
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
This system provides active assistance with
parking: it detects a
parking space then
operates the steering system to park in this
space.
With manual and automatic gearboxes , the
driver manages the accelerator, brakes and
forward and reverse gear engagement.
During phases of entry into and exit from
a
parking space, the system provides visual
and audible information to the driver in order
to make the manoeuvres safe. Several for ward
and reverse manoeuvres may be required.
At any time, the driver can take back control by
holding the steering wheel.
In some circumstances, the sensors may
not detect small obstacles located in their
blind spots.
The Park Assist system cannot work with
the engine off. A.

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
inter fere with the manoeuvre (loose
clothing, scar ves, ties, etc.) – risk of injury!
The Park Assist system provides assistance for
the following manoeuvres:
When Park Assist is activated, it prevents
entry into STOP mode of Stop & Start.
