Driving
In the presence of areas in shade, or in 
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate 
lighting, the image may be darkened and with 
lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than they 
actually are.
Sensors
The operation of the sensors, as well as 
any associated functions, may be disrupted 
by noise pollution such as that emitted by 
noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries, 
pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of 
snow or dead leaves on the road or in the 
event of damaged bumpers and mirrors.
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible 
signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors 
may be dirty.
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can 
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not 
always detected by the system: distance 
measurements may be distorted.
The sensors do not systematically detect 
obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs) 
or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind 
spots may not be detected or may no longer 
be detected during the manoeuvre.
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound 
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
Maintenance
Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and 
the field of vision of the cameras regularly.
When washing your vehicle at high pressure, 
direct the spray from at least 30
  cm away 
from the sensors and cameras.
Mats/Pedal trims
The use of mats or pedal trims not 
approved by CITROËN may interfere with 
the operation of the speed limiter or cruise 
control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
–
 
Ensure that the mat is secured correctly
 .
–
 
Never fit one mat on top of another
 .
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed displayed 
on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are 
those for the country you are driving in.
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is 
stationary, set the display to the required 
units of speed so that it complies with what is 
authorised locally.
In case of doubt, contact a CITROËN dealer 
or a qualified workshop.
Road signs recognition
For more information, refer to the 
General recommendations on the use 
of driving and manoeuvring aids .

qualified workshop.
Fixed speed limiter 
 
If fitted to your vehicle, its speed can be limited 
to a fixed setting.
A label located in the passenger compartment 
indicates this maximum speed.
The fixed speed limiter is not a cruise control 
type function. It cannot be activated or 
deactivated by the driver during the trip.
The maximum speed is originally set  according to the regulations in force in 
the country of sale.
This maximum speed cannot be changed by 
the driver.
If you wish to modify this maximum speed, 
contact a CITROËN dealer.

Driving
Cruise control - Specific 
recommendations
The cruise control function does not guarantee compliance with the maximum 
authorised speed and the safety distance 
between vehicles, the driver remains 
responsible for their driving.
In the interest of public safety, only use cruise 
control if the traffic conditions enable vehicles 
to drive at a steady speed and maintain an 
adequate safety distance.
Remain vigilant while cruise control is 
activated. If you press and hold one of the 
speed setting modification buttons, your 
vehicle may change speed very abruptly.
When descending a steep hill , the cruise 
control system cannot prevent the vehicle 
from exceeding the set speed. Brake if 
necessary to control the vehicle speed.
On steep climbs or when towing, the set 
speed may not be reached or maintained.
Exceeding the programmed speed 
setting
You can temporarily exceed the speed 
setting by pressing the accelerator pedal (the 
programmed speed flashes).
To return to the speed setting, release the 
accelerator pedal (when the set speed is 
reached again, the displayed speed stops 
flashing).
Operating limits

qualified workshop.
Adaptive cruise control
For more information, refer to the 
General recommendations on the use 
of driving and manoeuvring aids  and the 
Cruise control - particular 
recommendations.
This system automatically maintains the vehicle 
speed at a value set by the driver (speed 
setting), while respecting a safety distance from 
the vehicle in front (target vehicle) previously set 
by the driver. The system automatically manages 
the acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle.
With a manual gearbox, the system slows the 
vehicle down as far as a speed of 19 mph (30 
km/h).
With the Stop function , the system manages 
braking until the vehicle comes to a complete 
stop.
The brake lamps come on if the vehicle  is slowed down by the system.
It can be dangerous to drive if the brake 
lamps are not in perfect working order.
 
 
To do this, the system uses a camera fitted at 
the top of the windscreen and, depending on 
version, a radar fitted in the front bumper.
Primarily designed for driving on main 
roads and motorways, this system only 
works with moving vehicles driving in the 
same direction as your vehicle.
