– When following a narrow vehicle.
Reactivate cruise control when conditions permit.
Situations in which the driver is prompted to
immediately resume control:
–
Excessively sharp deceleration by the vehicle
in front of you.
– When a vehicle cuts in sharply between your
vehicle and the one in front.
Pay particular attention:
– When motorcycles are present and
when there are vehicles staggered across the
traffic lane.
–
When entering a tunnel or crossing a
bridge.
If any of the following malfunctions
occurs, do not use the system:
–
Following an impact on the windscreen
close to the camera.
–
Brake lamps not working.
If the vehicle has undergone any of the
following modifications, do not use the
system:
–
Carrying long objects on roof bars or a roof
rack.
–
Towing.
–
Front end of the vehicle modified (for
example by adding long-range headlamps or
painting the front bumper).
Malfunction
In the event of a cruise control
malfunction, dashes are displayed instead
of the cruise control speed setting.
This warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and an
onscreen message, to indicate a system
malfunction.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
The adaptive cruise control deactivates automatically if the use of a “space-
saver” type spare wheel is detected or in the
event of a malfunction of the lateral brake
lamps or trailer brake lamps (for approved
trailers).
Memorising speeds
This function, used only for the speed limiter
and programmable cruise control, lets you
save speed settings that will subsequently be
proposed for the purpose of configuring these
two systems.
You can memorise multiple speed settings for
each of the two systems.
By default, some speed settings are already
memorised.
As a safety measure, the driver must only change speed settings when stationary.
Changing a speed setting
In the Driving / Vehicle touch screen
menu, select "Driving functions " then
"Memorised speed settings".
"MEM" button
With this button, you can select a memorised
speed setting to use with the speed limiter or the
programmable cruise control.

Driving
Active Safety Brake with Collision Risk Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
This system allows:
–
the driver to be warned that their vehicle is at
risk of collision with the vehicle in front,
–
a collision to be prevented, or its severity to be
limited, by reducing the vehicle’
s speed.
This system is comprised of three functions:
–
Collision
Risk Alert,
–
Intelligent emergency braking assistance,
–
Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency
braking).
The vehicle has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen.
This system does not avoid the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system is designed to assist the driver
and improve road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to continuously
monitor the state of the traffic, observing the
driving regulations.
As soon as the system detects a potential obstacle, it prepares the braking
circuit in case automatic braking is needed.
This may cause a slight noise and a slight
sensation of deceleration.
Operating conditions and
limits
The ESC system must not be faulty.
The DSC/ASR systems must not be deactivated.
All passenger seat belts must be fastened.
Driving at a steady speed on roads with few
bends is required.
In 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.
The system is automatically deactivated after the use of certain "space-saver"
type spare wheels is detected (smaller
diameter).
The system is automatically deactivated
after detection of a fault with the brake pedal
switch or with at least two brake lamps.
It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
Consequently, always stay in control of your
vehicle and be prepared to react at any time
to avoid an accident.
After an impact, the function automatically stops operating. Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the system checked.
Collision Risk Alert
It warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the vehicle in front or a pedestrian
present in their traffic lane.
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
speeds 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.
The message "Vehicle close" is displayed.
Level 2 (red): visual and audible alert,
signalling 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 approaching another vehicle, the
first level of alert may not be displayed: the
level 2 alert may be displayed directly.
Important: the level 1 alert is never displayed
for a stationary obstacle or when the " Close"
trigger threshold has been selected.
Modifying the alert trigger threshold
This threshold determines how you wish to be
warned of the presence of a moving or stationary
vehicle in front of you, or a pedestrian present in
your traffic lane.

"Hold the wheel" –
If, while correcting the trajectory
, the system detects
that the driver has not held the steering wheel for a few
seconds, it interrupts the correction and returns control to
the driver.
– If, while correcting the trajectory , the system determines
that the correction will not be enough and that a solid line
will be crossed (orange line): the driver is warned that they
must provide additional trajectory adjustment.
The duration of audible warnings will increase if multiple
corrections are performed in quick succession. The
warning will become continuous, persisting until the driver
responds.
This message may also be displayed if you have your
hands on the steering wheel.
Operating limits
The system goes into standby automatically in
the following cases:
– ESC deactivated or operation triggered,
– speed below 40 mph (65 km/h) or greater than
112 mph (180 km/h),
– electrical connection of a trailer,
– use of the "space-saver" spare wheel detected
(as detection is not immediate, deactivation of
the system is recommended),
– dynamic driving style detected, pressure on
the brake or accelerator pedal,
– driving where there are no lane markings,
– activation of the direction indicators,
– crossing the inside line on a bend,
– driving in a tight corner,
– inactivity by the driver detected during
correction.
During a correction, if the driver is
inactive (not holding the steering wheel
for 10 seconds), a warning message appears.
If the driver remains inactive (not holding
the steering wheel for 2 more seconds), the
correction is interrupted.
The following situations may interfere with the operation of the system or
prevent it from working:
– insufficient contrast between the road
surface and the shoulders (e.g. shade),
– lane markings worn, hidden (snow, mud) or
multiple (roadworks, etc.),
129
Driving
6Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The system may suffer temporary interference in certain weather conditions
(rain, hail, etc.).
In particular, driving on a wet surface or
moving from a dry area to a wet area can
cause false alerts (for example, the presence
of a fog of water droplets in the blind spot
angle is interpreted as a vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or snow.
Take care not to cover the warning zone in
the door mirrors or the detection zones on the
front and rear bumpers with adhesive labels
or other objects; they may hamper correct
operation of the system.
Active Blind Spot Monitoring System
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 indicators on, to
help you avoid a collision.
This system is the combination of the Active
Lane Departure Warning System and Blind Spot
Monitoring System.
These two functions must be activated and in
operation.
The speed of the vehicle must be between 40
and 87 mph (65 and 140
km/h) inclusive.
These functions are especially suitable for
driving on motorways and main roads.
For more information on the Active Lane
Departure Warning System and Blind Spot
Monitoring System , refer to the corresponding
sections.
This system is a driving aid which cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Distraction detection
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
Take a break in case of feeling tired or at least
every 2 hours.
Depending on version, the function consists of
just the "Coffee Break Alert" system, or of this
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.
Activation/Deactivation
The function is activated or deactivated via the vehicle
configuration menu.
The state of the system stays in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.
Coffee Break Alert
The system triggers an alert as soon as 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:
–
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 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).

bicycle carrier is connected to a towing device
installed in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations.
In this case, the outline of a trailer is displayed
at the rear of the image of the vehicle.
The parking sensors are deactivated while the
Park Assist function is measuring a space.
For more information on the Park Assist, refer
to the corresponding section.
Operating limits
If the boot is heavily loaded, the vehicle may tilt,
affecting distance measurements.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction when
changing into reverse, this warning lamp
comes on on the instrument panel, accompanied
by an onscreen message and an audible signal
(short beep).
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Top Rear Vision
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
As soon as reverse gear is engaged with the
engine running, this system displays views of
your vehicle’s close surroundings on the touch
screen using a camera located at the rear of the
vehicle.
The screen is divided into two parts with a
contextual view and a view from above the
vehicle in its close surroundings.
The parking sensors supplement the information
on the view from above the vehicle.
Various contextual views may be displayed:
–
Standard view
.
– 180° view.
– Zoom view.
AUTO mode is activated by default.
In this mode, the system chooses to display the
best view (standard or zoom).
You can change the type of view at any time
during a manoeuvre.
The state of the function is not saved when the
ignition is switched off.
Principle of operation
Using the rear camera, the vehicle's close
surroundings are recorded during manoeuvres
at low speed.
An image from above your vehicle in its close
surroundings is reconstructed (represented
between the brackets) in real time and as the
manoeuvre progresses.
It facilitates the alignment of your vehicle when
parking and allows obstacles close to the vehicle
to be seen. It is automatically deleted if the
vehicle remains stationary for too long.
134
Driving
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 rear 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.
Zoom view
The camera records the vehicle's surroundings
during the manoeuvre in order to create a
view from above the rear 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.
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are in reality.
It is important to check the sides of the
vehicle during the manoeuvre, using the
mirrors.
The rear parking sensors also provide
information on the vehicle's surroundings.
180° view
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.
Park Assist
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids
.
This system provides active parking assistance
for vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox: it
detects a parking space and then steers in
the appropriate direction to park in this space
while the driver controls the driving direction,
engagement of gears, acceleration and braking.
To assist the driver in monitoring the correct
manoeuvring operation, the system automatically
triggers the display of Top Rear Vision and the
activation of the parking sensors.
The system performs the measurements of
available parking spaces and calculations of
distances to obstacles using ultrasonic sensors
built into the front and rear bumpers of the
vehicle.
The system assists with the following
manoeuvres:
A. Entering a "parallel" parking space
B. Leaving a "parallel" parking space
C. Entering a "bay" parking space
Operation
► When approaching a parking area, reduce
the speed of your vehicle to 19 mph (30 km/h)
or less.

The Top Rear Vision and the parking sensors
are automatically activated to help you monitor
the area immediately surrounding your vehicle
during the manoeuvre.
During the manoeuvre
The system controls the vehicle’s steering. It
gives instructions on the manoeuvring direction
when starting "parallel" entry and exit parking
manoeuvres, and for all "bay" entry manoeuvres.
There instructions are displayed as a symbol
accompanied by a message:
"Reverse".
“Go forwards".
The manoeuvring status is indicated by these
symbols:
Manoeuvre in progress (green).
Manoeuvre cancelled or finished (red)
(the arrows indicate that the driver must
resume control of the vehicle).
The maximum speeds during manoeuvres are
indicated by these symbols:
75 mph or 7 km/h, for parking space entry.
53 mph or 5 km/h, for parking space exit.
During manoeuvring phases, the steering
wheel performs rapid turns: do not hold
the steering wheel or put your hands between
the spokes of the steering wheel. Watch out
for any objects that could interfere with the
manoeuvre (loose clothing, scarf, tie, etc.).
Risk of injury!
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly
monitor the traffic, especially vehicles coming
towards you.
The driver should check that no objects or
people are obstructing the vehicle’s path.
The images from the camera(s) displayed on the touch screen may be
distorted by the terrain.
In shady areas, or in inadequate sunlight
or lighting conditions, the image may be
darkened and with lower contrast
The manoeuvre can be permanently interrupted
at any time, either by the driver or automatically
by the system. Interruption by the driver:
–
taking over control of the steering.
–
activating the direction indicator lamps on the
opposite side to that of the manoeuvre.
–
unfastening the driver's seat belt.
–
switching off the ignition.
Interruption by the system:
–

accompanied by the message “ Manoeuvre
completed” on the touch screen.
When the function is deactivated, this
indicator lamp goes off, accompanied by
an audible signal.
When entering a parking space, the driver may
be required to complete the manoeuvre.
Operating limits
– The system may suggest an unsuitable
parking space (No Parking area, work in
progress with damaged road surface, location
alongside a ditch, etc.).
– The system may indicate that a space has
been found but not offer it because of a fixed
obstacle on the opposite side of the manoeuvre,
which would not allow the vehicle to follow the
necessary trajectory for parking.
– The system may indicate that a space has
been found but not engage the manoeuvre
because the road is too narrow.
– The system is not designed to perform the
parking manoeuvre on a sharp bend.
– The system does not detect spaces that are
much larger than the vehicle or are bounded by
obstacles that are very low (pavements, studs,
etc.) or very thin (trees, posts, wire fences, etc.).
