Temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed
If needed (when overtaking, for example),
it is possible to exceed the programmed
speed by pressing the accelerator pedal.
Cruise control is temporarily deactivated and the
programmed speed displayed flashes.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Once the vehicle has returned to the
programmed speed, cruise control takes over
again and the programmed speed setting stops
flashing.
When descending a steep hill, the cruise
control system cannot prevent the
vehicle from exceeding the programmed
speed.
You may have to brake to control the speed of
your vehicle. In this case, the cruise control is
automatically paused.
To activate the system again, with the vehicle
speed above 25 mph (40
km/h), press button

Adaptive cruise control
Refer to the General recommendations
on the use of driving and
manoeuvring aids and to Cruise control
- particular recommendations.
This system automatically maintains the speed of your vehicle at a value which
you set (speed setting), while keeping a safe
distance from the vehicle in front (target vehicle),
and which has been set beforehand by the
driver. The system controls the vehicle's
acceleration and deceleration automatically
using only engine braking (as if the driver had
pressed the "-" minus button).
To do this, it uses a radar located 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.
If the driver operates a direction indicator
to overtake a slower vehicle, the cruise
control allows the vehicle to temporarily
approach the vehicle in front to assist the
overtaking manoeuvre, without ever
exceeding the speed setting.
Some vehicles present on the road may
not be properly seen or may be
misinterpreted by the radar (e.g. a lorry),
which may lead to a poor assessment of
distance and lead to the vehicle accelerating
or braking inappropriately.

For more information on the Head-up
display, refer to the corresponding
section.
Messages and alerts
The display of these messages or alerts is not sequential.
“Cruise control paused” or “Cruise control
suspended” following a brief acceleration
by the driver.
“Cruise control active”, no vehicle
detected.
“Cruise control active”, vehicle detected.
“Cruise control active and speed
adjusted”, vehicle detected too close or at
a slower speed.
“Cruise control active and speed
adjusted”, automatic deactivation
imminent following a cruise control limit being
reached.
“Cruise control paused”, automatic
deactivation following speed limit
adjustment being exceeded and no reaction from
the driver.
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
166
Driving
Brake system operational.
Seat belts fastened for all passengers.
Stabilised speed on roads with no or low
curvature.
This warning lamp lights up on the instrument panel without any additional
message, to indicate that the automatic braking
system is not available.
This is a normal behavior indicating that a
condition is not fulfilled and which does not
request the support of a workshop.
In any situations with ignition on where automatic
braking presents a risk, deactivating the
system via the vehicle's configuration menu is
recommended, for instance:
–
T
owing a trailer (particularly a trailer without its
own braking system).
–
Carrying long objects on roof bars or roof rack.
–
Driving with snow chains.
–
Using an automatic car wash.
–
Performing any maintenance (e.g.
changing a
wheel, working inside the engine compartment).
–
Placing the vehicle on a rolling bench in a
workshop.
–
T
owing the vehicle.
–
Following a front bumper deformation.
–
Following
an impact to the windscreen close to
the detection camera.
The system diagnoses permanently its capability and may inhibit itself without
specific driver indication, if the system is
outside of the regular operating conditions
(e.g. sensor initialization, board voltage out of
regular range, activation of stability system).
Therefore, the system may not be available
just after starting the vehicle.
It can be dangerous to drive if the brake
lamps are not in perfect working order.
The driver must not overload the vehicle (keep within the GVW limit and load
height limits for roof bars).
Following an impact (e.g. a collision), the
system is automatically deactivated.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Collision Risk Alert
This function warns the driver if there is a risk
of collision with the preceding vehicle, or with a
pedestrian or cyclist.
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 vehicle configuration menu with the audio
system or touch screen.
►
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 collision risk detected by the
system and the alert trigger threshold chosen
by the driver, different levels of alert may be
triggered and displayed on the instrument panel.
The system takes into account the vehicle
dynamics, the difference speed of the own
vehicle and the object identified for the
collision risk, and the operation of the vehicle
(e.g.
actions on the pedals, steering wheel) to
trigger the alert at the most relevant moment.
(orange)
Level 1: visual alert only, warning that the
preceding vehicle is very close.
The message "Vehicle close" is displayed.
(red)
Level 2: visual and audible alert, warning
that a collision is imminent.
The message "Brake! " is displayed.
While approaching a vehicle too quickly,
the level 2 alert may be displayed
directly.
Important: the level 1 alert depends on the
trigger threshold selected. It reacts only on
moving vehicles. It is disabled automatically
at lower speed.
167
Driving
6It is possible that collision 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.
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 after the acoustic alert if the
driver does not operate the brake pedal quickly
enough.
The system aims at reducing the speed of
impact or avoiding a collision if the driver fails to
react.
The speed will be reduced by a maximum of 16 mph (25 km/h) (versions
with camera only) or by a maximum of 31
mph (50
km/h) (versions with camera and
radar).
Operation
The system operates subject to the following
conditions:
–
At reduced speed in an urban environment,
when a stationary vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist
is detected.
–
The vehicle's speed is between 6 mph and
53 mph (10
km/h and 85 km/h) (versions with
camera only) or 87 mph (140 km/h) (versions
with camera and radar) when a moving vehicle
is detected.
This warning lamp flashes (for approximately 10 seconds) as soon as
the function applies the vehicle’s brakes.
During the flashing time, the function is not
available.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event of
automatic emergency braking, keep the brake
pedal depressed, also after a complete stop is
reached, to prevent the vehicle from rolling away.
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 override the automatic emergency braking at any time by firmly
turning the steering wheel and/or firmly
depressing the accelerator pedal.
168
Driving
The brake pedal may feel hard and 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 vehicle configuration menu.
Deactivation of the system is signalled by
the illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a message.
Malfunction
This warning lamp lights up on the instrument panel with the message
"Sensor blind " in certain cases.
Version with camera only: the system is
deactivated.
Version with camera and radar: the system
may continue to operate in a degraded mode.
This may be caused by a reduced visibility
(e.g.
rain, fog, snow, blinding by low sun) or by
a real sensor blockage. In this case, stop the
vehicle and verify if the front camera or the front
radar is covered by dirt, snow, ice or anything
preventing the sensing.
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 and/or in the
warning lamp display for seat belts and front
passenger airbag to indicate that the driver's
and/or front passenger's seat belt is not fastened
(depending on version). The automatic braking
system is deactivated until the seat belts are
fastened.
Lane departure warning
system
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
System that uses a camera to recognise
continuous or broken lines on traffic lanes and
triggers an alert if the vehicle wanders off line.
If the direction indicator is not used at speeds
above 50 mph (80
km/h) and there is a risk of
one of these lines on the road surface being
crossed, the system triggers the alert.
This system is particularly useful on motorways
and main roads.
Detection - Alert
You are alerted by the flashing of this warning lamp in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal.
No warning is transmitted while the
direction indicator is active and for

or direct exposure to the sun (e.g. low sun,
leaving a tunnel).
Distraction detection
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
Depending on version, the function consists of
either the "Coffee Break Alert" system alone or
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.
Take a break if you are feeling tired or at least
every 2 hours.
Activation/Deactivation
This function is set via the vehicle configuration menu.
The function is activated by default when the
ignition is switched on.
Coffee Break Alert
The system triggers an alert when it detects that the driver has not taken a
break after two hours of driving at a speed above
43 mph (70
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 43 mph (70 km/h), the
system goes into standby.
Driving time starts being counted again once
the speed reaches above 43
mph (70 km/h).
Driver Attention Warning
Depending on version, the Coffee Break Alert
system may be combined with the Driver
Attention Warning system.
The system assesses the driver's level of alertness, fatigue and distraction by
identifying trajectory changes in relation to the
lane markings.
To do this, the system uses a camera, placed on
the upper part of the windscreen.

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.
Top Rear Vision
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
As soon as reverse gear is engaged with the
engine running, this system displays views of
your vehicle’s close surroundings on the touch screen using a camera located at the rear of the
vehicle.
The screen is divided into two parts with a
contextual view and a view from above the
vehicle in its close surroundings.
The parking sensors supplement the information
on the view from above the vehicle.
Various contextual views may be displayed:
–
Standard view
.
–
180° view
.
–
Zoom view
.
AUTO mode is activated by default.
In this mode, the system chooses the best view
to display
(standard or zoom).
You can change the type of view at any time
during a manoeuvre.
The system status is not saved when the ignition
is switched off.
Principle of operation
Using the rear camera, the vehicle's close
surroundings are recorded during manoeuvres
at low speed.
An image from above your vehicle in its close
surroundings is reconstructed (represented
between the brackets) in real time and as the
manoeuvre progresses.
It facilitates the alignment of your vehicle when
parking and allows obstacles close to the vehicle
to be seen. It is automatically deleted if the
vehicle remains stationary for too long.
The display disappears above approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
The system is automatically deactivated
about 7 seconds after coming out of reverse
or on opening a door or the boot.
Activation
Activation is automatic on engaging reverse gear
at a speed lower than 6 mph (10 km/h).
