Normal mode and when unladen.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start function puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during
phases when the vehicle is stationary (e.g.
red
lights, traffic jams). The engine automatically
restarts - START mode - as soon as the driver
indicates the intention of moving off again.
Primarily designed for urban use, the function
is intended to reduce fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise level
when stationary.
The function does not affect the functionalities of
the vehicle, in particular the braking.
Driving on flooded roads
Before entering into a flooded area, it is
strongly recommended that you deactivate
the Stop & Start system.

Driving
Brake system operational.
Seat belts fastened for all passengers.
Stabilised speed on roads with no or low
curvature.
This warning lamp lights up on the instrument panel without any additional
message, to indicate that the automatic braking
system is not available.
This is a normal behavior indicating that a
condition is not fulfilled and which does not
request the support of a workshop.
In any situations with ignition on where automatic
braking presents a risk, deactivating the
system via the vehicle's configuration menu is
recommended, for instance:
–
T
owing a trailer (particularly a trailer without its
own braking system).
–
Carrying long objects on roof bars or roof rack.
–
Driving with snow chains.
–
Using an automatic car wash.
–
Performing any maintenance (e.g.
changing a
wheel, working inside the engine compartment).
–
Placing the vehicle on a rolling bench in a
workshop.
–
T
owing the vehicle.
–
Following a front bumper deformation.
–
Following
an impact to the windscreen close to
the detection camera.
The system diagnoses permanently its capability and may inhibit itself without
specific driver indication, if the system is
outside of the regular operating conditions
(e.g. sensor initialization, board voltage out of
regular range, activation of stability system).
Therefore, the system may not be available
just after starting the vehicle.
It can be dangerous to drive if the brake
lamps are not in perfect working order.
The driver must not overload the vehicle (keep within the GVW limit and load
height limits for roof bars).
Following an impact (e.g. a collision), the
system is automatically deactivated.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Collision Risk Alert
This function warns the driver if there is a risk
of collision with the preceding vehicle, or with a
pedestrian or cyclist.
Modifying the alert trigger threshold
This trigger threshold determines the sensitivity
with which the function warns of the risk of
collision.
The threshold is set via the vehicle configuration menu with the audio
system or touch screen.
►
Select one of the three pre-defined
thresholds: "Far", "Normal" or "Close".
The last threshold selected is memorised when
the ignition is switched off.
Operation
Depending on the collision risk detected by the
system and the alert trigger threshold chosen
by the driver, different levels of alert may be
triggered and displayed on the instrument panel.
The system takes into account the vehicle
dynamics, the difference speed of the own
vehicle and the object identified for the
collision risk, and the operation of the vehicle
(e.g.
actions on the pedals, steering wheel) to
trigger the alert at the most relevant moment.
(orange)
Level 1: visual alert only, warning that the
preceding vehicle is very close.
The message "Vehicle close" is displayed.
(red)
Level 2: visual and audible alert, warning
that a collision is imminent.
The message "Brake! " is displayed.
While approaching a vehicle too quickly,
the level 2 alert may be displayed
directly.
Important: the level 1 alert depends on the
trigger threshold selected. It reacts only on
moving vehicles. It is disabled automatically
at lower speed.

or
/The button flashes and a fault appears.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Detection may be impeded:
– If the markings on the ground are worn
and not clearly contrasted against the road
surface.
–
If the windscreen is dirty
.
–
In certain extreme weather conditions:
fog, heavy rain, snow
, shade, bright sunlight
or direct exposure to the sun (e.g. low sun,
leaving a tunnel).
Distraction detection
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
Depending on version, the function consists of
either the "Coffee Break Alert" system alone or
combined with the "Driver Attention Warning"
system.
These systems are in no way designed to keep the driver awake or to prevent
the driver from falling asleep at the wheel.
It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling
tired.
Take a break if you are feeling tired or at least
every 2 hours.
Activation/Deactivation
This function is set via the vehicle configuration menu.
The function is activated by default when the
ignition is switched on.
Coffee Break Alert
The system triggers an alert when it detects that the driver has not taken a
break after two hours of driving at a speed above
43 mph (70
km/h).
This alert is issued via the display of a message
encouraging the driver 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:
–
With the engine running, the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 15 minutes.
– The ignition has been switched off for a few
minutes.
–
The driver's seat belt is unfastened and their
door is opened.
As soon as the speed of the vehicle drops below 43 mph (70 km/h), the
system goes into standby.
Driving time starts being counted again once
the speed reaches above 43
mph (70 km/h).
Driver Attention Warning
Depending on version, the Coffee Break Alert
system may be combined with the Driver
Attention Warning system.
The system assesses the driver's level of alertness, fatigue and distraction by
identifying trajectory changes in relation to the
lane markings.
To do this, the system uses a camera, placed on
the upper part of the windscreen.
