Driving
6The system refuses to activate cruise control, as
the necessary conditions are not fulfilled.
Stop & Go function
The system has brought the
vehicle to a complete stop.
(green)/(green)
Within 3 seconds of stopping, the vehicle
gradually and automatically begins moving
again.
Beyond 3 seconds of stopping, the driver must
accelerate or press 2-I I> to move off.
If the driver takes no action after the
vehicle has been stopped, the electric
parking brake is applied automatically after
about 5 minutes.
While the vehicle is immobilised, the
following recommendations apply:
–

The driver should not leave the vehicle.
–


Do not open the boot.
–


Do not drop off or pick up passengers.
–


Do not engage reverse gear
.
When restarting the vehicle, beware of
cyclists, pedestrians or animals who are
not taken into account by the system.
The driver must monitor their surroundings.
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.

11 6
Driving
– 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 or on the front bumper

.
–

In case of a brake lamp failure.
If the vehicle has undergone any of the
following modifications, do not use the
system:
–

Carrying long objects on roof bars.
–

.
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 is paused.
(green)
All operating conditions are met; the
system is active.
(orange)
System malfunction.
If the driver no longer wishes to use the system
for some time, they can deactivate it by pressing
the ASSIST button again (confirmed by the
disappearance of the Driving aids mini-view on
the instrument panel).
The system status is saved when the ignition is switched off.
Operating conditions
– Adaptive cruise control active.
– ESC system operational.
–

ASR system activated.
–


No trailer detected.
–


No 'space-saver' spare wheel in use.
–


V
ehicle not subject to strong lateral g-forces.
–

Direction indicators off upon activation of 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
riggering of the ESC.
–
Insufficient lane detection. In this case, the
Active lane departure warning system function
can take over
, and the system will reactivate
itself once the operating conditions are met
again.
Suspension by the driver
– Travelling outside the lane limits.
– T oo tight a grip on the steering wheel or
dynamic action on the steering wheel.
–

Action on the brake pedal (resulting in a pause
until cruise control is reactivated) or accelerator
pedal (suspension for as long as the pedal is
depressed).
–


Pausing of
Adaptive cruise control.
–

Deactivation of the
ASR.

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).

Driving
Operating conditions
– Eligible roads: roads with separate
carriageways with prohibited access for
pedestrians and cyclists.
–

Highway Driver
Assist 2.0 activated.
–

V
ehicle speed between 43 and 112 mph (70
and 180 km/h).
Operation
The vehicle is moving at the
speed setting and is monitoring
bends.
The system gradually decreases
the speed in the bend to
negotiate it comfortably.
Temporary driver intervention
If the driver believes that the speed is too slow or
too fast, they can act on the pedals.
Pressing the brake pedal deactivates Highway
Driver Assist 2.0, while pressing the accelerator
pedal temporarily suspends it.
Semi-automatic lane
changing
(with Highway Driver Assist 2.0)
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
This system assists the driver in changing lanes.
To do this, it uses the camera located at the top
of the windscreen, the radar located at the front
and the four angle radars fitted in the bumpers.
The steering wheel is equipped with a hands-on detection system to avoid
distraction on the part of the driver.
For more information on the Hands-on
detection, refer to the corresponding section.
The system cannot in any circumstances replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver. The driver remains responsible
for their driving by monitoring their
surroundings and keeping their hands on the
steering wheel.
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 or the
accelerator pedal that causes the adaptive
cruise control to be paused or suspended will
also cause the system to deactivate.
System selection
Two possibilities:
– Either , when the vehicle is already driving on
an eligible road, the driver selects the system via
the Highway Driver Assist 2.0 system activation.
–

Or
, when the driver is already using Highway
Driver Assist, the vehicle suggests selecting
the system upon arriving at an eligible road by
pressing the OK button.
Activation/Deactivation

► Activate the direction indicator on the side
corresponding to the lane change, whether or
not passing the resistance point of the lighting
control stalk.
The driver can regain control of the vehicle at
any time:
–

by deactivating the direction indicator if the
vehicle has not yet crossed the line.
–


by firmly holding the steering wheel.

The punctured wheel cannot be stored in place
of the spare wheel. Place it in the boot.
With a "space-saver" type spare wheel
Deactivate certain driving aid functions
(Active Safety Brake, Adaptive cruise control,
etc.).
Do not exceed the maximum authorised
speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).
Driving with more than one "space-saver"
type spare wheel is prohibited.
Visit a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Have the tightening of the spare wheel's bolts
and its tyre pressure checked.
Have the punctured tyre examined. After
inspection, the technician will advise you on
whether the tyre can be repaired or if it must
be replaced.
Changing a bulb
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes.
Never look too closely at the light beam
of LED technology lamps - risk of serious
eye injury!
