ehicle speed between 43 and 112 mph (70
and 180 km/h).
Authorised lane change request
When operating the direction indicator, if the
necessary conditions are met, the message
"OK?" is displayed on the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal.




► After checking the surroundings, press
2-OK to confirm the start of the lane change
manoeuvre.
The message "Stay alert"
is displayed as a
reminder that the driver is responsible for the
manoeuvre.


The system then proceeds with the vehicle’s
lane change.
Once the manoeuvre has been carried out, the
system is automatically deactivated and the lane
positioning assist takes over.
If the direction indicator has been set beyond the
point of resistance, the driver must pull it back.
The driver must hold the steering wheel correctly.
As soon as the semi-automatic lane change
begins, the system directs the vehicle to the
target lane by small actions on the steering to
position it in the destination lane.
You can feel the steering wheel moving.
Interruption of lane change
It is possible that during a lane change, the
necessary conditions for the functioning of the
system may no longer be met.


If this occurs before either wheel has crossed
the line between the two lanes, the system will
automatically return the vehicle to its original
lane (confirmed by displaying a manoeuvre
cancellation message on the digital instrument
panel and an audible signal). Then the system
automatically deactivates itself.


If this occurs while the lane change has begun,
the system asks the driver to immediately
regain control of the vehicle (confirmed by the
display of a message on the digital instrument

panel and an audible signal). Then the system
automatically deactivates itself.Refused lane change
request
When pressing 2-OK, if the necessary conditions
are not met, the lines appear in orange on the
instrument panel, accompanied by an audible
signal.


The system keeps the vehicle in the original
lane. The system is deactivated and the semi-
automatic lane change is not carried out.

the system deactivates itself.
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.
Active Safety Brake with Collision Risk Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .


This system:
–
warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the preceding vehicle, a pedestrian
or a cyclist.
–

reduces the vehicle's speed to avoid a
collision or to limit its severity

.
The speed will be reduced by a maximum of 16 mph (25 km/h) (versions
with camera only) or by a maximum of 31
mph (50 km/h) (versions with camera and
radar).
The system also takes motorcyclists into account. It may also react on animals.
Animals (especially animals smaller than
0.5

m) and objects on the road are not
necessarily detected.
This system includes three functions:
– Collision Risk Alert.
–

Intelligent emergency braking assistance
(iEBA).
–


Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency
braking).


The vehicle has a multifunction camera located
at the top of the windscreen and, depending on
version, a radar located in the front bumper.
This system does not replace the need for driver vigilance.
This system is designed to assist the driver
and improve road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to continuously
monitor traffic conditions in accordance with
applicable driving regulations.
As soon as the system detects a potential collision, it prepares the braking
circuit. This may cause a slight noise and a
slight sensation of deceleration.

125
Driving
6Deactivation/Activation
By default, the system is automatically activated
at every engine start.
It is configured in the ADAS touch screen
application.
Deactivation of the system is signalled by
the illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a message.
Operating conditions and
limits
Vehicle moving forward without trailer.
Brake system operational.
ASR / ESP system activated.
Seat belts fastened for all passengers.
Stabilised speed on roads with no or low
curvature.
This warning lamp lights up on the instrument panel without any additional
message, to indicate that the “automatic braking
system” is not available. This is a normal
behavior indicating that a condition is not fulfilled
and which does not request the support of a
workshop.
In any situations with ignition on where automatic
braking presents a risk, deactivating the
system via ADAS touch screen application is
recommended, for instance:
–

T

owing a trailer (particularly a trailer without its
own braking system).
–

Carrying long objects on roof bars.
–


Driving with snow chains.
– Using an automatic car wash.
– Performing any maintenance (e.g. changing a
wheel, working underhood).
–

Placing the vehicle on a rolling bench in a
workshop.
–


T
owing the vehicle.
–

Following a front bumper deformation (version
with radar).
–


Following
an impact to the windscreen close to
the detection camera.
The system is automatically deactivated if:
–

A

spare wheel with a too small diameter is
detected.
–

A

fault with the brake pedal switch or with
the right or left brake lamp is detected.
–

A

fault in the sensors, in the electronic or in
the brake system is detected.
–

A

trailer is detected by the equipped vehicle
hitch (with an electrical connection plug).
The system diagnoses permanently its capability and may inhibit itself without
specific driver indication, if the system is
outside of the regular operating conditions.
Examples: sensor initialization, board voltage
out of regular range, activation of stability
system…
Therefore the system may not be available
just after starting the vehicle.
It can be dangerous to drive if the brake
lamps are not in perfect working order.
The driver must not load his vehicle excessively (respect of MTAC values,
MTRA values and loading height on roof
bars).
Following an impact (e.g. a collision), the
system is automatically deactivated.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Collision Risk Alert
This function warns the driver if there is a risk
of collision with the preceding vehicle, or with a
pedestrian or cyclist.
Modifying the alert trigger threshold
The trigger threshold determines the sensitivity
with which the function warns of the risk of
collision.
It is configured in the ADAS touch screen
application.
►

Select one of the 3 preset thresholds: “ Far

”,
“Medium” or “Near”.
The selected threshold is memorised when the
ignition is switched off.
Operation
Depending on the collision risk detected by the
system and the alert trigger threshold chosen

126
Driving
by the driver, different levels of alert may be
triggered and displayed on the instrument panel.
The system takes into account the vehicle
dynamics, the difference speed of the own
vehicle and the object identified for the collision
risk, and the operation of the vehicle (actions on
the pedals, steering wheel, etc.) to trigger the
alert at the most relevant moment.
(orange)
Level 1: visual alert only, warning that the
preceding vehicle is very close.
The message
"Vehicle close" is displayed.
(red)
Level 2: visual and audible alert, warning
that a collision is imminent.
The message "Brake! " is displayed.
Level 3: a micro-braking may be given,
confirming the risk of collision (optional).
While approaching a vehicle too quickly,
the level 2 alert may be displayed
directly.
Important: the level 1 alert depends on the
trigger threshold selected. It reacts only on
moving vehicles. It is disabled automatically
at lower speed.
It is possible that collision warnings are
not given, are given too late or seem
unjustified.
The driver must always stay in control of the
vehicle and be prepared to react at any time
to avoid an accident.
If you select “Far” in the ADAS touch
screen application, then the system
warns sooner. This increases the safety but
increases also the amount of alerts, if the
legal safety distance is not kept. To reduce
the alert occurrence, you can change the
setting to “Medium” or “Near”.
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance (iEBA)
This function increases vehicle deceleration
if the driver doesn't brake enough to avoid a
collision.
This assistance is only provided if the driver
presses the brake pedal.
Active Safety Brake

This function, also called "automatic emergency
braking", intervenes after the acoustic alert if the
driver does not operate the brake pedal quickly
enough.
The system aims at reducing the speed of
impact or avoiding a collision if the driver fails to
react.
The speed will be reduced by a maximum of 16 mph (25 km/h) (versions
with camera only) or by a maximum of 31
mph (50 km/h) (versions with camera and
radar).

128
Driving
if the front camera or the front radar is covered
by dirt, snow, ice or anything preventing the
sensing.
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 and/or in the
warning lamp display for seat belts and front
passenger airbag to indicate that the driver's
and/or front passenger's seat belt is not fastened
(depending on version). The automatic braking
system is deactivated until the seat belts are
fastened.
Distraction detection
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
The function comprises the "Coffee Break Alert"
system 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
By default, the function is automatically activated
at every engine start.
It is configured in the ADAS touch screen
application.
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

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 "Caution!“, accompanied by an
audible signal.
After three first-level alerts, the system triggers
a further alert with the message " Driving
