the Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop&Go in
conjunction with the Lane Positioning Assist.
These two functions must be activated and in
operation.
This system is especially suitable for driving on
motorways and main roads.
For more information on Adaptive cruise
control and Lane Positioning Assist, refer to
the corresponding sections.
The system assists the driver by acting on the steering, acceleration and braking
within the physical limits
and capacities of the
vehicle. Certain road infrastructure elements
or vehicles in the surroundings may not be
properly seen or may be poorly interpreted by
the camera and radar, resulting in an
unexpected change in direction, a lack of
steering correction and/or inappropriate
management of acceleration or braking.

– Highway Driver Assist with Adaptive Cruise
Control with Stop&Go and Lane positioning
assist.
–

Speed setting advance recommendations.
–


Speed adjustment during cornering.
–


Semi-automatic lane changing.
By default, these functions are activated; but

The availability of the system depends on the
country you are driving in.
This system is only to be used on eligible
motorways and main roads.
Selecting/Deselecting the
system
It is configured in the ADAS touch screen
application.
The system's status is saved when the ignition is
switched off.
Adaptive cruise control
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids and
to

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 the Stop
& Go function, the system
manages braking until the vehicle comes to a
complete stop and the restarting of the vehicle.
The brake lamps come on if the vehicle is slowed down by the system.
The system is not operational in the event of
a brake lamp failure.


To do this, the system uses a camera fitted at the
top of the windscreen and 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.
If the driver activates the direction
indicator to overtake a slower vehicle,
cruise control may temporarily reduce the
distance to the target vehicle to facilitate
overtaking, without exceeding the speed
setting.

Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, dashes are
displayed (orange) instead of the speed setting.
This warning lamp comes on, accompanied by a message and an
audible signal, to confirm the malfunction.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Lane positioning assist
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .


The system identifies the limits of the traffic
lane and steers the vehicle inside this lane to
maintain it in the lateral position chosen by the
driver.
To do this, the system uses a camera placed on
the upper part of the windscreen.
This function is primarily suitable for driving on
motorways and main roads.
Activation/Deactivation
Lane positioning assist is automatically activated,
after selecting
Highway Driver Assist mode.
For more information on Highway Driver Assist,
refer to the corresponding section.
The selection is confirmed by the display of the
symbols on the instrument panel, representing
the steering wheel and the side lines.
The colour of the symbols depends on the
operating state of the system:
(grey)
One or more operating conditions is not met; the

system.
Cruise control
The driver must hold the steering wheel properly.
When cruise control is activated, the symbols are
displayed in green: with small steering inputs,
the system steers the vehicle and keeps it in the
position chosen by the driver in the traffic lane.

11 7
Driving
6This position is not necessarily the centre of the
lane.
You can feel the steering wheel moving.
At any time, the driver can change the position of
the vehicle by intervening on the steering wheel
and maintaining the position until the system has
taken it into account. If the chosen position is too
off-centre, an automatic re-centering manoeuvre
can occur. The system adjusts to the newly
defined position.
Pausing/Suspending the
system
The driver must act promptly if they believe that the traffic conditions or the
state of the road surface require their
intervention, by moving the steering wheel to
temporarily suspend system operation. Any
intervention on the brake pedal that causes
the Adaptive cruise control to pause will also
cause the system to pause.
If the system detects that the driver is not
holding the wheel firmly enough, it
triggers a series of gradual alerts and then
deactivates itself if there is no response from
the driver.
If the function is suspended due to the
prolonged release of the force holding
the steering wheel, the system must be
reactivated by pressing the ASSIST button
again.
Automatic pause
Pausing the system is accompanied by a specific
audible signal. –

T

Speed adjustment during
cornering
(with Highway Driver Assist 2.0)
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids and the
Cruise control - particular
recommendations.
In addition to Adaptive Cruise Control with
Stop&Go and Lane positioning assist systems,
this system regulates the speed of the vehicle in
bends.
It adapts the speed, with or without target
vehicle, in certain bends on motorways or main
roads.
The speed is only adjusted if the vehicle speed is
not compatible with the angle of the bend.
The reduction in speed on a bend is adapted
to the situation in order to ensure the bend is
navigated comfortably.
In the presence of a target vehicle, it also
maintains the inter-vehicle distance.
This system does not manage bends that are too tight ("hairpin bend" for example).
