a


malfunction.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Active Lane Keeping
Assist
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
Using a
camera located at the top of the
windscreen, the system identifies lane
markings and steers the vehicle inside this lane
to keep it in the lateral position chosen by the
driver.

Conditions for operation
- The adaptive cruise control must be active.
- T he vehicle must be travelling in a traffic
lane clearly delimited by lines on both sides.
-

T
he ESC system must be operating.
-

T
he ASR /DSC systems must not be
deactivated.
-

N
o trailer detected.
-

A s
pare wheel of the "space-saver" type
must not be in use.
-

T
he vehicle must not be subject to strong
lateral accelerations.
-

T
he direction indicators must not be
activated.
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.
On action by the driver: suspension
-
A

ctivation of the direction indicators.
-
T

ravelling outside the lane limits.
-

T
oo tight a grip on the steering wheel or
dynamic action on the steering wheel.
-

A
ction on the brake pedal (pausing until the
cruise control is reactivated) or accelerator
pedal (suspension for as long as the pedal
is pressed).
-

P
ausing the cruise control.
-

D
eactivation of the DSC/ASR systems.

After changing a wheel
Store the punctured wheel in the boot or,
depending on version, remove the central cover
first to store it beneath the floor in place of the
spare wheel. With a 'space-saver' type spare wheel
Driving with more than one 'space-saver'
type spare wheel is prohibited.
Visit a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible to have the
tightness of the bolts and the pressure of
the spare wheel checked.
Have the punctured tyre examined. After
inspection, the technician will advise you
on whether the tyre can be repaired or if it
must be replaced.
