Driving
The vehicle stalls in STOP mode
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come
on if there is a fault.
The Stop & Start system requires a 12 V battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work concerning the battery must be
carried out only by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Tyre under-inflation detection
This system automatically checks the pressures
of the tyres while driving.
It compares the information given by the wheel
speed sensors with reference values, which
must be reinitialised every time the tyre
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one or
more tyres.
Under-inflation detection does not
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
regularly check the tyre pressures (including
the spare wheel) as well as before a long
journey.
Operation
Main conditions for operation
– The driver ’s door must be closed.
– The driver's seat belt must be fastened.

level 2 alert may be displayed directly.
Important: the level 1 alert is not displayed
when there is a stationary obstacle or
when the "Near" trigger threshold has been
selected.
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to avoid a
collision, this system will supplement the braking,
within the limits of the laws of physics.
This assistance will only be provided if the driver
presses the brake pedal.
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.
Deactivation / Activation
By default, the system is automatically activated
at every engine start.
It is set 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.
Operating conditions and
limits

The system is automatically deactivated when the use of certain types of
"space-saver" spare wheel (smaller diameter)
is detected, or if a fault with the brake pedal
switch or at least two brake lamps is detected.
It can be dangerous to drive if the brake
lamps are not in perfect working order.
It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
The driver must always stay in control of the
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
This function warns the driver that their vehicle
is at risk of a collision with the vehicle in front, or
with a pedestrian or cyclist present in their traffic
lane.
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 the Driving /
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.
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 in
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.
Level 1 (orange): visual alert only,
warning that the vehicle in front is very
close.
The message
"Vehicle close" is displayed.
Level 2 (red): visual and audible alert,
warning that a collision is imminent.
The message "Brake! " is displayed.

Driving
The following situations may interfere with the operation of the system or
prevent it from working:
– lane markings absent, worn, hidden (snow,
mud) or multiple (roadworks);
– close to the vehicle ahead (lane markings
not detected);
– roads that are narrow, winding, etc.
Active Lane Departure
Warning System
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
Using a camera located at the top of the
windscreen to identify lane markings on the road
and at the edges of the road (depending on
version), the system corrects the trajectory of the
vehicle while alerting the driver if it detects a risk
of unintentionally crossing a line or hard shoulder
(depending on version).
This system is particularly useful on motorways
and main roads.


accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
These warning lamps come on if the driver's seat belt and/or front
passenger seat belt (depending on version) are
not fastened.
Distraction detection
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
Take a break if you are feeling tired or at least
every 2 hours.
The function consists of the "Coffee Break Alert"
system 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
This function is set via the touch screen Driving/Vehicle menu.
The state of the system is memorised 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 the driver 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:
–

With the 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).
Driver Attention Warning

Using a camera placed at the top of the
windscreen, the system assesses the
driver's level of vigilance, fatigue or distraction by
identifying variations in trajectory compared to
the lane markings.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 40 mph (65
km/h)).
At a first-level alert, the driver is warned by the
“Take care! ” message, accompanied by an
audible signal.
After three first-level alerts, the system triggers
a further alert with the message " Dangerous
driving: take a break", accompanied by a more
pronounced audible signal.
In certain driving conditions (poor road
surface or strong winds), the system may
give alerts independent of the driver's level of
vigilance.
