Driving
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not
always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be distorted.
The sensors do not systematically detect
obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs)
or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind
spots may not be detected or may no longer
be detected during the manoeuvre.
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
Maintenance
Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and
the field of vision of the cameras regularly.
When washing your vehicle at high pressure,
direct the spray from at least 30
cm away
from the sensors and cameras.
Mats/Pedal trims
The use of mats or pedal trims not
approved by CITROËN may interfere with
the operation of the speed limiter or cruise
control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
–

Ensure that the mat is secured correctly
.
–

Never fit one mat on top of another
.
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed displayed
on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are
those for the country you are driving in.
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is
stationary, set the display to the required
units of speed so that it complies with what is
authorised locally.
In case of doubt, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Head-up display
System which projects various information onto a
smoked blade placed in the driver's field of vision
to avoid the driver having to take their eyes off
the road.
Information displayed
during operation


Once the system has been activated, the
following information is grouped together in the
head-up display:
A. The speed of your vehicle.
B. Cruise control/speed limiter information.
C. If your vehicle is suitably equipped, automatic
emergency braking alerts and navigation
instructions.
D. If your vehicle is suitably equipped, speed
limit information.

(rain and/or snow, bright sunshine, etc.),
the head-up display may not be legible or
may suffer temporary interference.
Some sunglasses may hamper reading of the
information.
To clean the projection blade, use a clean,
soft cloth (such as a spectacles cloth or
microfibre cloth). Do not use a dry or abrasive
cloth, or detergent or solvent products, due to
the risk of scratching the projection blade or
damaging the non-reflective coating.
This system operates when the engine is running, and the settings are saved when
the ignition is switched off.
Memorising speeds
This function, used only for the speed limiter
and programmable cruise control, lets you
save speed settings that will subsequently be
proposed for the purpose of configuring these
two systems.
You can memorise multiple speed settings for
each of the two systems.
By default, some speed settings are already
memorised.
As a safety measure, the driver must only change speed settings when stationary.
Changing a speed setting
Speed settings can be activated,
deactivated, selected and changed in the
Driving
/ Vehicle touch screen menu.
"MEM" button



With this button, you can select a memorised
speed setting to use with the speed limiter or the
programmable cruise control.

Driving
On a steep descent or in the event of
sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the speed setting.
If necessary, apply the brakes to control your
vehicle’s speed.
When the vehicle speed returns to the speed
setting level, the speed limiter operates again:
the speed setting display becomes fixed again.
Switching off
► Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the "OFF" position:
speed limiter information is no longer displayed.
Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction, dashes are
displayed flashing and then fixed instead of the
speed setting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Cruise control - Specific
recommendations
The cruise control function does not guarantee compliance with the maximum
authorised speed and the safety distance
between vehicles, the driver remains
responsible for their driving.
In the interest of public safety, only use cruise
control if the traffic conditions enable vehicles
to drive at a steady speed and maintain an
adequate safety distance.
Remain vigilant while cruise control is
activated. If you press and hold one of the
speed setting modification buttons, your
vehicle may change speed very abruptly.
When descending a steep hill , the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the set speed. Brake if
necessary to control the vehicle speed.
On steep climbs or when towing, the set
speed may not be reached or maintained.
Exceeding the programmed speed
setting
You can temporarily exceed the speed
setting by pressing the accelerator pedal (the
programmed speed flashes).
To return to the speed setting, release the
accelerator pedal (when the set speed is
reached again, the displayed speed stops
flashing).
Operating limits

Bluetooth® audio system
10Bluetooth® audio system

The different functions and settings described vary according to the version
and configuration of your vehicle.
As a safety measure and because it requires sustained attention by the driver,
the pairing of a Bluetooth mobile telephone
with the Bluetooth hands-free system of your
audio system must be done with the vehicle
stationary and the ignition on.
Your audio system is coded in such a way that it will only operate in your
vehicle.
All work on the system must be carried out
exclusively by a dealer or qualified workshop,
to avoid any risk of electrocution, fire or
mechanical faults.
To avoid discharging the battery, the audio system may switch off after a few
minutes if the engine is not running.

RDS
The external environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks,
etc.) may block reception, including in RDS
mode. This is a normal effect of the way in
which radio waves are transmitted and does
not indicate any failure of the audio
equipment.
If RDS is not available, the RDS symbol
appears struck out in the screen.
The RDS, if activated, enables you to continue listening to the same station by
automatic retuning to alternative frequencies.
However, in certain conditions, coverage of
an RDS station may not be assured
throughout the entire country as radio stations
do not cover 100% of the territory. This
explains the loss of reception of the station
during a journey.

the current audio source (Radio, CD, etc.) is
interrupted automatically to play the TA
message. Normal play of the media
previously playing is resumed at the end of
the message.
Take care when increasing the volume while listening to TA messages. The
volume may prove too high on return to the
original audio source.
