qualified workshop.
Adaptive cruise control
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids and the
Cruise control - particular
recommendations.
This system automatically maintains the vehicle
speed at a value set by the driver (speed
setting), while respecting a safety distance from
the vehicle in front (target vehicle) previously set
by the driver. The system automatically manages
the acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle.
With a manual gearbox, the system slows the
vehicle down as far as a speed of 19 mph (30
km/h).
With the Stop function , the system manages
braking until the vehicle comes to a complete
stop.
The brake lamps come on if the vehicle is slowed down by the system.
It can be dangerous to drive if the brake
lamps are not in perfect working order.
To do this, the system uses a camera fitted at
the top of the windscreen and, depending on
version, a radar fitted 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.

Parking sensors
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
This system detects and signals the proximity of
obstacles (e.g.
pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier)
using sensors located in the bumper.
Rear parking sensors
► Engage reverse gear to start the system
(confirmed by an audible signal).
The system is switched off when reverse gear is
disengaged.
Audible assistance
The system signals the presence of obstacles
which are both within the sensors’ detection zone
and in the vehicle path defined by the direction of
the steering wheel.
Depending on version, in the example shown,
only the obstacles present in the shaded area
will be signalled by the audible assistance.
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than about thirty
centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
Adjusting the audible signalDepending on version, with
CITROËN Connect Radio or
CITROËN Connect Nav, pressing this button
opens the window for adjusting the volume of
the audible signal.

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.

– Visual reversing assistance : shows a view
of the area close to the rear of the vehicle.
The blue dimension lines 1 represent the width
of your vehicle with the mirrors unfolded.
The red line 2 represents a distance of 30
cm
from the rear bumper; the two green lines 3 and
4 represent 1
m and 2 m, respectively.
The blue curves 5 appear successively; they
are based on the position of the steering wheel
and represent the turning circle radius of your
vehicle.
The orange dashes 6 represent the opening radii
of the rear doors.
Please routinely check your exterior
mirrors while driving and during
manoeuvres.
Some items may not be seen by the rear
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 environment, 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.

allow a towing device to be installed.
To install a towing device, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Load distribution
►
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to the
axle, and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing
engine performance.
The maximum towable load
must be reduced by 10% per 1,000
metres of
altitude.
Use genuine towing devices and wiring
harnesses approved by CITROËN. We
recommend having them fitted by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
If not fitted by a CITROËN dealer, they must
still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions
are automatically deactivated while an
approved towing system is in use.
For more information about driving with a
towing device fitted to a trailer and associated
with the Trailer stability assist, refer to the
corresponding section.
