6The system has brought the vehicle to a 
complete stop and is keeping it immobilised: 
cruise control is paused.
The driver must accelerate to move off again, 
then reactivate cruise control.
Operating limits
Cruise control operates by day and night, in dry 
weather or moderate rainfall.
Certain situations cannot be managed by the 
system and require driver intervention.
Cases not taken into account by the system:
– 
Pedestrians, cyclists, animals.
–
 
Stationary vehicles (e.g.
   traffic jams, 
breakdown).
 
 
– Vehicles crossing your lane.
–  V ehicles driving in the opposite direction.
Situations where the driver must suspend the 
system:
 
 
– Vehicles in a tight bend.
–  When approaching a roundabout. 
 
– When following a narrow vehicle.
Reactivate the system when conditions allow .
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.
Some vehicles on the road may be 
poorly perceived or interpreted by the 
camera and/or the radar (e.g.
  truck), which 
can lead to an incorrect evaluation of 
distances and result in inappropriate 
acceleration or braking of the vehicle.
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.
–

and behind are confused with a lorry or a 
stationary object.
Malfunction
If the event of a malfunction, this warning 
lamp lights up on the instrument panel, 
accompanied by the display of a message.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
The system may be temporarily disturbed  by certain weather conditions (e.g.   rain, 
hail).
In particular, driving on a wet road or going 
from a dry to a wet area can cause false 
alerts (e.g.
  presence of a cloud of water 
droplets in the blind spot 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

  function, 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 gear, this warning 
lamp lights up on the instrument panel, 
accompanied by the display of a message and 
an audible signal (short beep).
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Reversing camera 
 
For more information, refer to the 
General recommendations on the use 
of driving and manoeuvring aids .With the ignition on, this system uses a camera 
located near the third brake lamp to display 
a view of the rear of your vehicle on the 
reproduction screen (if it is a panel van or has a 
solid partition).
The reversing camera is activated automatically 
when reverse gear is engaged. The image 
is displayed on the reproduction screen. The 
reproduction screen switches off when the 
gearbox is in neutral or in a forward gear.
 
 
 
 
The blue lines  1 represent the general direction 
of the vehicle (the gap corresponds to the width 
of your vehicle with the mirrors).
The red line  2 represents a distance of about 
30
  cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear 
bumper.
The green lines  3 represent distances of about 1 
and 2 metres beyond the edge of your vehicle's 
rear bumper.
The turquoise blue curves  4 represent the 
maximum turning circle.
Some objects may not be seen by the 
camera.
Certain vehicles may be difficult to see 
(dark colours, lamps off) when the 
brightness of the screen is reduced using the 
vehicle’s lighting dimmer.
The image quality may be affected by the  surroundings, the exterior conditions 
(rain, dirt, dust), the driving mode and the 
lighting conditions (night, low sun).
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.
During parking manoeuvres and lane 
changes, it is important to check the sides of 
the vehicle using the mirrors.
The rear parking sensors also supplement the 
information on the vehicle's surroundings.

jet, keep the spray directed at least 30
  cm away 
from the camera.
Surround Rear Vision 
 
For more information, refer to the 
General recommendations on the use 
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
With the ignition on, in order to improve visibility 
of the passenger side blind spot and the rear 
of the vehicle, this system uses two cameras 
to display the views of the vehicle’s close 
surroundings on the reproduction screen (panel 
van or fitted with a solid partition).
This system has three sub-functions:
 
 
 
 
– Passenger side view : shows the area at the 
passenger side of the vehicle.
The orange line  1 represents a distance of 5
  m 
from the rear bumper.
 
 
 
 
– Surveillance rear view : shows a long-
distance view of the area at the rear.
The orange line  1 represents a distance of 5
  m 
from the rear bumper.

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.
These 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.

Operating limits
– The system may suggest an inappropriate 
parking space (parking prohibited, work in 
progress with damaged road surface, location 
alongside a ditch, etc.).
–
 
The system may indicate that a space has 
been found but will not offer it because of a fixed 
obstacle on the opposite side of the manoeuvre, 
which would not allow the vehicle to follow a 
trajectory required for parking.
–
 
The system may indicate that a space has 
been found but the manoeuvre will not be 
triggered, because the width of the lane is 
insufficient.
–
 
The system is not designed for performing the 
parking manoeuvre on a sharp bend.
–
 
The system does not detect spaces that 
are much larger than the vehicle itself or that 
are delimited by obstacles that are too low 
(pavements, studs, etc.) or too thin (trees, posts, 
wire fences, etc.).
–
 
If the boot is heavily loaded, the tilt of the 
vehicle towards the rear may interfere with the 
distance measurements.
Do not use the function under the 
following exterior conditions:
–
 
Alongside a soft shoulder (e.g. ditch) or 
quay or on the edge of a drop.
–
 
When the road surface is slippery (e.g. ice).
If any of the following malfunctions 
occurs, do not use the system:
