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

158
Collision Risk Alert
It warns the driver if their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the vehicle in front or a pedestrian
present in their traffic lane.
Modifying the alert trigger
threshold
This threshold determines how you wish
to be alerted of the presence of a moving
or stationary vehicle in front of you, or
a
pedestrian or cyclist present in your traffic
lane.
The current threshold can be
modified via the Driving /Vehicle
menu of the touch screen.
You can select one of three predefined
thresholds:
-
"Distant ",
-
"Normal ",
-
"Close ".
The last threshold selected is memorised when
the ignition is switched off.
Operation
Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert threshold
chosen by the driver, several different levels
of alert may be triggered and displayed in the
instrument panel.
They take account of the vehicle dynamics, the
speed of your vehicle and the one in front, the
environmental conditions and the operation of
the vehicle (cornering, actions on the pedals,
etc.) to trigger the alert at the best moment.
Level 1 (orange) : visual alert only,
signalling to you that the vehicle in
front is very close.
The " Vehicle close " message is
displayed.
Level 2 (red) : visual and audible
alert, warning you that a
collision is
imminent.
The message " Brake!" is displayed.
Level 3 : finally, in some cases, a
haptic alert in the form of micro-
braking can be given, confirming the
risk of collision. Where the speed of your vehicle is too
high when approaching another vehicle,
the level 2
alert may be displayed
immediately.
Important: the level 1
alert is never
displayed for a
stationary obstacle or
when the " Close" trigger threshold has
been selected.
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to avoid
a collision, this system will supplement the
braking, within the limits of the laws of physics.
This assistance will only be provided if you
press the brake pedal.
After an impact, the function automatically
stops operating. Contact a

CITROËN
dealer or a

qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
Driving

160
Activation/Deactivation
These functions are activated and
deactivated in the Driving/Vehicle
menu of the touch screen.
The state of the system stays in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.
Coffee Break Alert
The system triggers an alert once it
detects that the driver has not taken
a
break after two hours of driving at
a
speed above 40 mph (65 km/h).
This alert is issued via the display of
a

message encouraging you to take a break,
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the
alert is repeated hourly until the vehicle is
stopped.
The system resets itself if one of the following
conditions is met:
-

e

ngine running, the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 15


minutes,
-

t

he ignition has been switched off for a few
minutes,
-

t

he driver's seat belt is unfastened and their
door is open. As soon as the speed of the vehicle drops
below 40
mph (65 km/h), the system goes
into standby.
The driving time is counted again once the
speed is above 40 mph (65 km/h).
Driver Attention Alert
Using a camera placed at the top
o f the windscreen, the system
assesses the driver's level of
vigilance by identifying variations
in trajectory compared to the lane
markings.
This system is particularly suited to main roads
(speed higher than 40
mph (65 km/h)).When the system interprets the behaviour of
the vehicle as indicating a
certain fatigue or
inattention threshold on the part of the driver, it
triggers the first level of alert.
The driver is then alerted by the message
" Ta k e c a r e ! ", accompanied by an audible
signal.
After three first level alerts, the system triggers
a new alert with the message "
Driving at
risk: take a break
", accompanied by a more
pronounced audible signal.
In certain driving conditions (poor road
sur face or strong winds), the system may
give alerts independent of the driver's
level of vigilance.

Driving

165
This system warns the driver of the presence
of another vehicle in the blind spots of their
vehicle (areas hidden from the driver's field
of vision), as soon as this presents a potential
danger.
A fixed warning lamp appears in the door mirror
on the side in question:
-
i

mmediately, when being overtaken,
-

a
fter a delay of about one second, when
overtaking a
vehicle slowly.
In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the door
mirror on the side in question, a correction of
trajectory will be felt if you attempt to cross
a
lane marking with the direction indicator
activated, to help you avoid a
collision.This driving aid system is designed to
improve safety when driving and is in no
circumstances a
substitute for the use
of the interior rear view mirror and door
mirrors. It is the driver's responsibility to
constantly check the traffic, to assess the
relative distances and speeds of other
vehicles and to anticipate their movements
before deciding whether to change lane.
Activation/Deactivation
The function is activated and
deactivated in the Driving/Vehicle
menu of the touch screen.
The state of the system stays in the memory
when switching off the ignition.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a
towing device

Operation
The alert is given by an orange warning lamp
coming on in the relevant door mirror, as soon
as a
vehicle – car, lorry, bicycle – is detected.
A correction of trajectory will be felt if you
attempt to cross a
lane marking with the
direction indicator flashing.
The following conditions must be met for this:
-

a
ll vehicles are moving in the same direction
and in adjacent lanes,
-

t
he speed of the vehicle must be between
7
and 87 mph (12 and 140 km/h) for the
alert and between 40
and 87 mph (65 and
140
km/h) for a correction of trajectory,
-

t

The state of the function is not saved when the
ignition is switched off.
Principle of operationThe screen is divided into two parts: on the
left, a contextual view; on the right, a view from
above the vehicle in its close surroundings.
The parking sensors supplement the
information on the view from above the vehicle.
AUTO mode is activated by default.
In this mode, the system chooses the best view
to display (standard or zoom) according to the
information from the parking sensors.
You can change the type of view at any time
during a


manoeuvre. Using one or two cameras, the close
surroundings of the vehicle are recorded whilst
manoeuvring at low speed.
An image from above your vehicle in its close
surroundings is reconstructed (represented
between the blue brackets) in real time and as
the manoeuvre progresses.
This representation facilitates the alignment of
your vehicle when parking and allows obstacles
close to the vehicle to be seen. With Top 360
Vision, the image is created using
both cameras, when going for ward and when
reversing.
When the function is activated, it is possible
that the view from above is not displayed. If
the system is activated when the vehicle has
already moved, the view from above can be
fully displayed.Top Rear Vision
