6Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Spare wheel
The steel spare wheel does not have an
under-inflation detection sensor.
Under-inflation alert
This is signalled by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and, depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
►
Reduce speed immediately
, avoid excessive
steering movements and avoid sudden braking.
►
Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.
The loss of pressure detected may not always cause visible deformation of the
tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
►
Using a compressor
, such as the one in
the temporary puncture repair kit, check the
pressures of all four tyres when cold.
►
If it is not possible to carry out this check
immediately
, drive carefully at reduced speed.
►
In the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel
(depending on equipment).
Driving too slowly may not ensure
optimum monitoring.
The alert is not immediately triggered in the
event of a sudden loss of pressure or tyre
blow-out. This is because analysis of the
values read by the wheel's speed sensors
can take several minutes.
The alert may be delayed at speeds below
25 mph (40 km/h), or when adopting a sporty
driving mode.
The alert is kept active until the system is reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressure of one or more tyres,
and after changing one or more wheels.
Before reinitialising the system, make
sure that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and conform to the values written on
the tyre pressure label.
Check the pressures of the four tyres before
performing the reinitialisation.
The system does not advise if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
Without audio system
► With the vehicle stationary , press this
button for about 3 seconds then release it.
Reinitialisation is confirmed by an audible signal.
With audio system or touch screen
With the vehicle stationary, the
system is reinitialised via the
vehicle configuration menu.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, these
warning lamps light up on the
instrument panel.
In this case, the tyre under-inflation monitoring
function is no longer performed.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Driving
Operating limits
The regulation range is limited to a maximum
difference of 19 mph (30 km/h) between the
cruise speed setting and the speed of the
vehicle in front.
Above this, the system pauses itself if the safety
distance becomes too short.
The adaptive cruise control uses only engine
braking to slow the vehicle. Consequently the
vehicle loses speed slowly, as when releasing
the accelerator pedal.
The system is paused automatically:
–
if the vehicle in front slows down too much or
too suddenly
, and the driver does not brake,
–
if a vehicle comes between your vehicle and
the vehicle in front,
–
if the system does not slow the vehicle enough
to continue to maintain a safe distance, for
example when descending a steep hill.
Cases of non-detection by the radar:
–
Stationary vehicles (traffic jam, breakdown,
etc.).
–
V
ehicles driving in the opposite direction.
When the driver must suspend the cruise
control system:
– When following a narrow vehicle.
– Vehicles not running in the middle of the lane.
– Vehicles entering a corner.
– V ehicles changing lane at the last moment.
Reactivate cruise control when conditions permit.
Cases where the driver is urged to take back
control immediately:
–
When a vehicle cuts in sharply between your
vehicle and the one in front.
–
Excessively sharp deceleration of the vehicle
in front of you.
The adaptive cruise control operates by day and night, in fog or moderate rainfall.
The system does not act on the braking system, but works only with engine
braking.
The regulation range is limited: there will
no longer be any adjustment of speed if the
difference between the programmed speed
setting and the speed of the vehicle in front
becomes too great.
If the difference between the
programmed speed setting and the
speed of the vehicle in front is too great, the
speed cannot be adjusted: the cruise control
is automatically deactivated.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction with the adaptive
cruise control, you will be alerted by an audible
signal and the display of the message "Driving
aid functions fault".
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
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:
– warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the vehicle in front.
– reduces the vehicle's speed to avoid a
collision or limit its severity.
This system is comprised of three functions:
– Collision Risk Alert.
– Intelligent emergency braking assistance
(iEBA).
– Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency
braking).
The vehicle has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen and, depending on version, a
radar located in the front bumper.
This system does not replace 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 traffic conditions in accordance with
applicable driving regulations.
