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).

Collision Risk Alert
This function warns the driver that their vehicle 
is at risk of a collision with the vehicle in front or 
with a pedestrian present in their traffic lane.
Operation
Depending on the degree of risk of collision 
detected by the system and the alert trigger 
threshold chosen by the driver, several different 
levels of alert may be triggered and displayed on 
the instrument panel.
The system takes account of the vehicle 
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the one 
in front, the environmental conditions and the 
operation of the vehicle (actions on the pedals, 
steering wheel, etc.) to trigger the alert at the 
most relevant moment.
(orange)
Level 1: visual alert only, warning you 
that the vehicle in front is very close.
The message
  "Vehicle close" is displayed.
(red)
Level 2: visual and audible alert, warning 
you that a collision is imminent.
The message "Brake! " is displayed.
Level 3: in some cases, a vibration 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 not displayed 
when there is a stationary obstacle or when 
the "Close" trigger threshold has been 
selected.
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  theDriving/Vehicle touch screen 
menu.
►
 
Select one of the three pre-defined 
thresholds: "Far", "Normal" or "Close".
The last threshold selected is memorised when 
the ignition is switched off.

Driving
Intelligent emergency 
braking assistance (iEBA)
This function supplements braking in the event 
that the driver brakes, but not enough to avoid a 
collision.
This assistance will only be provided if the driver 
presses the brake pedal.
Active Safety Brake 
 
This function, also called automatic emergency 
braking, intervenes following the alerts if the 
driver does not react quickly enough and does 
not operate the vehicle's brakes.
The system aims to reduce the speed of impact 
or avoid a collision where the driver fails to react.
The speed will be reduced by a maximum of 16 mph (25   km/h) for 
versions with camera only, or by a maximum 
of 31 mph (50
  km/h) for versions with camera 
and radar.
Operation
The system operates subject to the following 
conditions:
–
 
At reduced speed in an urban environment, 
when a pedestrian is detected.
–
 
At reduced speed in an urban environment, 
when a stationary vehicle is detected.
–
 
The vehicle's speed is between 6 mph and 
53 mph (10
  km/h and 85   km/h) when a moving 
vehicle is detected.
This warning lamp flashes (for  approximately 10 seconds) as soon as 
the function applies the vehicle’s brakes.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event of 
automatic emergency braking bringing the 
vehicle to a complete stop, keep the brake pedal 
depressed to prevent the vehicle from moving 
off again.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic 
emergency braking bringing the vehicle to a 
complete stop, the engine may stall.
The driver can maintain control of the  vehicle at any time by firmly turning the 
steering wheel and/or firmly depressing the 
accelerator pedal.
The brake pedal may vibrate slightly  while the function is operating.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop, 
automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 2 
seconds.
Deactivation/Activation
By default, the system is automatically activated 
at every engine start.
The settings are changed via  the   Driving/Vehicle   touch screen 
menu.
Deactivation of the system is signalled by 
the illumination of this warning lamp, 
accompanied by the display of a message.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning 
lamp lights up on the instrument panel, 
accompanied by the display of a message and 
an audible signal.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
If these warning lamps come on 
after the engine has been switched 
off and then restarted, contact a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the 
system checked.
These warning lamps light up on  the instrument panel to indicate 
that the driver's and/or front passenger's seat 
belt is not fastened (depending on version). The    

155
Driving
6automatic braking system is deactivated until the 
seat belts are fastened.
Active lane departure warning system
For more information, refer to the 
General recommendations on the use 
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
The system corrects the vehicle's trajectory by 
alerting the driver as soon as it detects a risk of 
involuntary
  lane departure or crossing of a verge 
or hard shoulder (depending on version).
To do this, the system uses a camera, placed on 
the upper part of the windscreen, identifying the 
lane markings on the ground and the side of the 
road (depending on version).
This system is particularly useful on 
motorways and main roads.
 
 
Operating conditions
– Vehicle speed between 43 and 112 mph (70 
and 180   km/h).
–
 
Road marked with a central dividing line.
–
 
Steering wheel held in both hands.
–
 
Direction indicators not activated.
– ESC system activated and operational.
The system helps the driver only if there is a risk of the vehicle unintentionally 
wandering from the lane it is being driven in. It 
does not manage the safe driving distance, 
vehicle speed or braking.
The driver must hold the steering wheel with 
both hands in a way that allows control to 
be maintained in circumstances where the 
system is not able to intervene (for example, if 
the central dividing line disappears).
Operation
As soon as the system identifies a risk of 
involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings 
detected on the ground or a lane boundary 
(e.g.
  grass verge), it performs the trajectory 
correction necessary to restore the vehicle to its 
original lane.
The driver will notice a turning movement of the 
steering wheel.
This warning lamp flashes during  trajectory correction.
The driver can prevent the correction by firmly holding the steering wheel 
(e.g.
  during an emergency manoeuvre).
The correction is interrupted immediately if 
the direction indicators are operated.
 
 
While the direction indicators are activated and 
for a few seconds after switching them off, the 
system considers that a change of trajectory is 
intentional and no correction is triggered during 
this period.
If the system detects that the driver is not 
holding the wheel firmly enough during 
an automatic correction of trajectory, it 
interrupts the correction. An alert is triggered 
to encourage the driver to take back control of 
the vehicle.

"Hold the wheel "–
 
If, during the
   correction,   the system detects that the 
driver has not held the steering wheel for a few seconds, it 
stops the   correction   and returns control to the driver.
–  During the trajectory correction, the system determines 
that the correction will not be enough: the driver is warned 
that they must
  provide additional trajectory correction.
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 with 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 43 mph (70
   km/h) or greater 
than 112 mph (180
  km/h).
–
 
Electrical connection to a trailer
 .–
 
Use of a"space-saver" spare wheel detected 
(as detection is not immediate, deactivation of 
the system is recommended).

–
 
Activation
   of the direction indicators.
–
 
Crossing the inside line on a bend.
–
 
Driving on a tight bend.
– 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), 
correction is stopped.

Parking sensors
For more information, refer to the 
General recommendations on the use 
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
 
 
This system detects and signals the proximity of 
obstacles (e.g.
  pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) 
using sensors located in the bumper.
Rear parking sensors
► Engage reverse gear to start the  system 
(confirmed by an audible signal).
The system is switched off when reverse gear is 
disengaged.
Audible assistance 
 
The system signals the presence of obstacles 
which are both within the sensors’ detection zone 
and in the vehicle path defined by the direction of 
the steering wheel.
 
 
Depending on version, in the example shown, 
only the obstacles present in the shaded area 
will be signalled by the audible assistance.
The proximity information is given by an 
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of 
which increases as the vehicle approaches the 
obstacle.
When the distance between the vehicle and 
the obstacle becomes less than about thirty 
centimetres, the audible signal becomes 
continuous.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or 
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is 
located.
Adjusting the audible signalDepending on version, with 
CITROËN Connect Radio or 
CITROËN Connect Nav, pressing this button 
opens the window for adjusting the volume of 
the audible signal.
