Driving
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.
–
Brake lamps not working.
If the vehicle has undergone any of the
following modifications, do not use the
system:
–
Carrying long objects on roof bars or a roof
rack.
–
Towing.
–
Front end of the vehicle modified (for
example by adding long-range headlamps or
painting the front bumper).
–
Obstructed radar
.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction,
dashes are displayed instead of
the speed setting.
This warning lamp comes on, accompanied by a message and an
audible signal, to confirm the malfunction.

154
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

"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).
–
Dynamic driving style detected, pressure on
the brake or accelerator pedal.
–
Driving over lane markings.
–
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.

Driving
labels or other objects; they may hamper
correct operation of the system.
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
The settings are changed via the Driving/Vehicle touch screen
menu.
The status of the function is saved when the
ignition is switched off.
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.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 43 mph (70
km/h)).
At a first alert level, the driver is warned by the
message "Be vigilant!", 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.
The following situations may interfere with the operation of the system or
prevent it from working:
–
poor visibility conditions (e.g.
insufficient
road lighting, snowfall, heavy rain, dense fog).
–
dazzle (e.g.
headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on a wet road

162
Driving
Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal, without
taking account of the vehicle's trajectory, by
displaying bars on the screen whose location
represents the distance between the obstacle
and the vehicle (white: more distant, orange:
close, red: very close).
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed on the screen.
Front parking sensors
Supplementing the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when an
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of the
vehicle is below 6 mph (10 km/h).
Front parking sensor operation is suspended if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds in
forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer detected
or the vehicle speed exceeds 6
mph (10 km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) locates the obstacle relative to
the vehicle, whether in front of or behind it on
its path.
Side parking sensors
Using four additional sensors located on the
sides of the bumpers, the system records the
position of obstacles during the manoeuvre and
indicates them when they are located alongside
the vehicle.
Only fixed obstacles are indicated
correctly. Moving obstacles detected at
the beginning of the manoeuvre may be
indicated mistakenly, while moving obstacles
that appear alongside the vehicle but were
not previously recorded will not be indicated.
Objects memorised during the
manoeuvre will no longer be stored after
switching off the ignition.
Deactivation/Activation
Without touch screen
► To deactivate or activate the system, press
this button.
The indicator lamp is on when the system is
deactivated.
With touch screen
The settings are changed via the Driving/Vehicle touch screen
menu.
The status of the function is saved when the
ignition is switched off.
The rear parking sensors system will be deactivated automatically if a trailer or

deactivated if the vehicle speed exceeds 31 mph
(50 km/h).
For ''parallel'' parking, the space must at
a minimum be equal to the length of your
vehicle plus 0.60 m.
For ''bay'' parking, the width of the space
must be equal to the width of your vehicle
plus 0.70 m.
If the parking sensors function has been
deactivated in the Driving/Vehicle touch
screen menu, it will be automatically
reactivated when the system is activated.
When the system finds an available space, " OK"
is displayed on the parking view, accompanied
by an audible signal.
Preparing for the manoeuvre
► Move very slowly until the request to stop
the vehicle is displayed: " Stop the vehicle", accompanied by the "
ST OP" sign and an audible
signal.
Once the vehicle has stopped, an instructions
page is displayed on the screen.
►
T
o prepare for the manoeuvre, follow the
instructions.
The start of the manoeuvre is indicated by
the message "Manoeuvre under way",
accompanied by an audible signal.
Reversing is indicated by this message:
"Release the steering wheel, reverse ".
The Top Rear Vision function and the parking
sensors are automatically activated to help you
monitor your vehicle's close surroundings during
the manoeuvre.
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.
The manoeuvre can be permanently interrupted
at any time, either by the driver or automatically
by the system.
