Driving
6In the following cases, deactivating the system
via the vehicle's configuration menu is advised:
– towing a trailer,
– carrying long objects on roof bars or roof rack,
– with snow chains fitted,
– before using an automatic car wash, with the
engine running,
– before placing the vehicle on a rolling road in
a workshop,
– towed vehicle, engine running,
– following an impact to the windscreen close to
the detection camera.
It is automatically deactivated after
detection of a fault with the brake pedal
switch or with at least two brake lamps.
After an impact, the function automatically stops operating. Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the system checked.
It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
The driver must always stay in control of their
vehicle and be prepared to react at any time
to avoid an accident.
Cases of non-detection by the system:
– Pedestrians, cyclists, animals, objects on the
road.
– Vehicles crossing your lane.
– Vehicles driving in the opposite direction.
Pay particular attention:
– When narrow vehicles (motorcycles)
are present and/or there are vehicles
staggered across the traffic lane.
– When entering a tunnel or crossing a
bridge.
When the driver must suspend the system:
– Vehicles in a tight bend.
– When approaching a roundabout.
– When a vehicle cuts in sharply between your
vehicle and the one in front.
Collision Risk Alert
It warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the vehicle in front.
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.
► Select one of the three pre-defined
thresholds:
– "Near ".
– "Normal".
– "Distant".
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 that the vehicle in front is very
close.

Practical information
► Pull the control located on the side of the
dashboard towards you.
On the outside
► Open the lock using the key.
► Hold towball 4 firmly in one hand; using
the other hand, pull and turn wheel 5 fully in a
clockwise direction; do not release the wheel.
► Extract the towball from the bottom of its
carrier 1.
► Release the wheel; this automatically stops in
the unlocked position (position B).
► Refit the protective plug to the carrier .
► Carefully stow the towball in its bag away
from knocks and dirt.
Maintenance
Correct operation is only possible if the towball
and its carrier are kept clean.
Before cleaning the vehicle with a high-pressure
jet wash, the towball must be removed and the
protective plug fitted to the carrier.
Apply the label provided to a clearly visible area, close to the carrier or in the
boot.
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop for any work on the towbar system.
Roof-mounted carrying
systems
For safety reasons and to avoid damaging the
roof, it is imperative to use a carrying system
(roof bars or roof rack) approved for the vehicle.
Roof bars can only be fitted on H1 or H2 height
versions of vans, combis and minibuses. On
minibuses, check the presence of a roof air
conditioning unit.
The carrying device must be fixed to the
anchorage points on the roof of the vehicle: 6,
8 or 10, depending on the wheelbase of the
vehicle.
Observe the fitting instructions and the
conditions of use in the guide supplied with the
carrying device.
Maximum roof load, evenly distributed:
150 kg, for all versions, within the limits
of the gross vehicle weight (GVW).
Roofs cannot be equipped with a
carrying system on H3 height versions.
Strictly observe the legal provisions in
force concerning the maximum volume
measurements.
For more information on the Technical
data of the vehicle, and in particular on
the dimensions, refer to the corresponding
section.
Bonnet
Opening
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid the risk of injury related to an automatic
change to START mode.
On the inside
This operation must only be done with the
vehicle stationary and the driver’s door open.

Voice commands
Information - Using the
system
Instead of touching the screen, you can
use your voice to control the system.
To ensure that voice commands are always recognised by the system, please
observe the following recommendations:
– speak in a normal tone of voice,
– before speaking, always wait for the "beep"
(acoustic signal),
– the system is able to recognise the voice
commands provided, regardless of gender,
tone and inflection of the voice of the speaker,
– if possible, minimise the noise inside the
passenger compartment,
– before issuing a voice command, ask any
other passengers to refrain from speaking.
Since the system recognises commands
regardless of who is speaking, when several
people are speaking simultaneously, it
is possible for the system to recognise
commands that are different or additional to
what has been requested,
– for optimal operation, you are advised to
close the windows and any sunroof present
(on versions/markets where fitted) to avoid
any external source of disturbance.
