form of micro-braking can be given, confirming
the risk of collision.
Vehicle moving forward.
ESC system operational.

The driver must always stay in control of the
vehicle and be prepared to react at any time
to avoid an accident.
Seat belts fastened for all passengers.
Stabilised speed on roads with few bends.
In the following cases, deactivating the system
via the vehicle's configuration menu is advised:
– Towing a trailer.
– Carrying long objects on roof bars or roof rack.
– Vehicle with snow chains fitted.
– Before using an automatic car wash, with the
engine running.
– When changing a wheel, working near a wheel
or inside the engine compartment.
– Before placing the vehicle on a rolling road in
a workshop.
– Towed vehicle, engine running.
– Following an impact to the windscreen close to
the detection camera.
Following an impact, the system is
automatically deactivated.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Where the speed of your vehicle is too
high approaching another vehicle, the
first level of alert may not be displayed: the
level 2 alert may be displayed directly.
Important: the level 1 alert is not displayed
when there is a stationary obstacle or when
the "Close" trigger threshold has been
selected.
Collision Risk Alert
This function warns the driver that their vehicle
is at risk of a collision with the vehicle in front or
with a pedestrian present in their traffic lane.
Operation
Modifying the alert trigger threshold
Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert trigger
threshold chosen by the driver, several different
levels of alert may be triggered and displayed on
the instrument panel.
The system takes account of the vehicle
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the one
in front, the environmental conditions and the
operation of the vehicle (actions on the pedals,
steering wheel, etc.) to trigger the alert at the
most relevant moment.
This trigger threshold determines the sensitivity
with which the function warns of the risk of
collision.
The threshold is set via
theDriving/Vehicle touch screen
menu.
► Select one of the three pre-defined
thresholds: "Far", "Normal" or "Close".
The last threshold selected is memorised when
the ignition is switched off.
The system is automatically deactivated
when the use of certain types of
"space-saver" spare wheel (smaller diameter)
is detected, or if a fault with the brake pedal
switch or at least two brake lamps is detected.
It can be dangerous to drive if the brake
lamps are not in perfect working order.
