The vehicle stalls in STOP mode
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come
on if this fault occurs.The Stop & Start system requires a
12 V
battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work concerning the battery must be
carried out only by a
CITROËN dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
After the engine has restarted, STOP
mode is not available until the vehicle has
reached a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h).
During parking manoeuvres, STOP mode
is not available for a few seconds after

Cruise control – particular
recommendations
For the safety of everyone, only use the
cruise control where the driving conditions
allow running at a constant speed and
keeping an adequate safety distance.
Remain vigilant when the cruise control
is activated. If you hold one of the speed
setting modification buttons, a very rapid
change in the speed of your vehicle may
o c c u r.
When descending a


steep hill, the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the set speed. Brake if
necessary to control the speed of your
vehicle.
On steep climbs or when towing, the set
speed may not be reached or maintained. Exceeding the programmed speed
setting
The speed setting can be exceeded
temporarily
by pressing the accelerator
pedal (the programmed speed flashes).
To return to the speed setting, release
the accelerator pedal (when this speed is
reached again, the display of the speed
stops flashing).
Operating limits
Never use the system in the following
situations:
-

i
n an urban area with the risk of
pedestrians crossing the road,
-

i
n heavy traffic (except versions with
the Stop & Go function),
-

o
n winding or steep roads,
-

o
n slippery or flooded roads,
-

i
n unfavourable climatic conditions,
-

d
riving on a speed circuit,
-

d
riving on a rolling road,
-

u
se of snow chains, non-slip covers or
studded tyres.
Programmable cruise
control
Refer to the General recommendations
on the use of driving and manoeuvring
aids and to Cruise control – par ticular
recommendations .
This system automatically keeps
the vehicle's speed at the cruise
value programmed by the driver
(speed setting), without using the
accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on manually.
It requires a
minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40


km/h).
With a
manual gearbox, it requires the
engagement of third gear or higher.
With an automatic gearbox, it requires the
engagement of mode D or of second gear or
higher in mode M .
The cruise control remains active after
changing gear regardless of the gearbox
type on engines fitted with Stop & Start.

Some vehicles present on the road may
not be properly seen or may be poorly
interpreted by the camera and/or radar
(e.g. a lorry), which may lead to a poor
assessment of the distances and lead to
the vehicle inappropriately accelerating or
braking.

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.

180° viewTop 360 Vision
The vehicle has a camera at the front, fitted
i n the grille, and a camera at the rear, located
close to the number plate lamps.
Using these cameras, the system displays
the vehicle's near surroundings on the touch
screen, offering views from the rear of the
vehicle (rear vision), when reverse gear is
engaged and views from the front of the vehicle
(front vision), when the gearbox is in neutral or
a


gear is engaged.
Rear vision
If a trailer or a bicycle carrier is fitted to
t he towball, the area behind the vehicle on
the view from above goes dark.
The surroundings are reconstructed by the
front camera only.
The 180° view facilitates reversing out of
a

parking bay, 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.
The system activates automatically when
reverse gear is engaged.

It is important to check the sides of the
vehicle during the manoeuvre, using the
mirrors.
The front and rear parking sensors also
provide information on the vehicle's
surroundings.
AUTO mode
With the engine running and the
speed below 12
mph (20 km/h), the
system is activated via the Driving/
Vehicle menu of the touch screen: The blue lines 1
represent the width of your
vehicle, with the mirrors unfolded; their
direction changes depending on the position of
the steering wheel.
The red line 2
represents a distance of 30 cm
from the front bumper; the two blue lines 3
and
4
represent 1 m and 2 m, respectively.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the
view selection menu.
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
view selection menu. This mode is activated by default.
Using sensors in the front bumper, the
automatic view changes from the front view
(standard) to the view from above (zoom) as an
obstacle is approached during a


manoeuvre.
