vehicle from exceeding the programmed

speed.

You may have to brake to control the speed of

your vehicle. In this case, the cruise control is

automatically paused.

To activate the system again, with the vehicle

speed above 25 mph (40 km/h), press button

of driving and manoeuvring aids and the

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 a manual gearbox, the system slows the

vehicle down as far as a speed of 19 mph (30

km/h).

Switching oﬀ

► Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the "0” position: the

cruise control information disappears from the

screen.

The speed is immediately shown on the

instrument panel as the new speed setting.

With the Stop function, the system manages

braking until the vehicle comes to a complete

stop.

Malfunction

Temporarily exceeding the

programmed speed

If needed (when overtaking, for example) it is

possible to exceed the programmed speed by

pressing the accelerator pedal.

The brake lamps come on if the vehicle

is slowed down by the system.

It can be dangerous to drive if the brake

lamps are not in perfect working order.

Cruise control is temporarily deactivated and the

programmed speed displayed ﬂashes.

To return to the programmed speed, simply

release the accelerator pedal.

Once the vehicle has returned to the

programmed speed, cruise control takes over

again and the programmed speed setting stops

ﬂashing.

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.

To do this, the system uses a camera ﬁtted at

the top of the windscreen and, depending on

version, a radar ﬁtted in the front bumper.

Adaptive cruise control

Primarily designed for driving on main

roads and motorways, this system only

works with moving vehicles driving in the

same direction as your vehicle.

When descending a steep hill, the cruise

control system cannot prevent the

Cruise control may also have been paused:

– automatically, if the electronic stability control

(ESC) system is triggered.

– by engaging neutral.

– when the speed of the vehicle goes below 19

mph (30 km/h).

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.

With an automatic gearbox or a drive selector,

following braking that has brought the vehicle to

a complete stop, the system holds the vehicle

stationary; cruise control is paused. The driver

should depress the accelerator pedal to move

oﬀ, then, when above 2 mph (3 km/h), reactivate

the system by pressing 2-SET-, 3-SET+ or 4-II.

If the driver takes no action after the vehicle

has been stopped, the electric parking brake is

applied automatically after about 5 minutes.

Driving

The system has brought the vehicle to a

complete stop and is keeping it immobilised:

cruise control is paused.

The driver must accelerate to move oﬀ again,

then reactivate cruise control.

– Vehicles in a tight bend.

– When approaching a roundabout.

Pay particular attention:

– When motorcycles are present and

when there are vehicles staggered across the

traﬃc lane.

– When entering a tunnel or crossing a

bridge.

Operating limits

Cruise control operates by day and night, in dry

weather or moderate rainfall.

If any of the following malfunctions

occurs, do not use the system:

– Following an impact on the windscreen

close to the camera.

– 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.

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).

– Brake lamps not working.

If the vehicle has undergone any of the

following modiﬁcations, do not use the

system:

– Carrying long objects on roof bars or a roof

rack.

– Towing.

– Front end of the vehicle modiﬁed (for

example by adding long-range headlamps or

painting the front bumper).

– Obstructed radar.

– When a vehicle cuts in sharply between your

vehicle and the one in front.

– Vehicles crossing your lane.

– Vehicles driving in the opposite direction.

Situations where the driver must suspend the

system:

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.

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction,

dashes are displayed instead of

the speed setting.

This warning lamp comes on,

accompanied by a message and an

audible signal, to conﬁrm the malfunction.

and programmable cruise control, lets you

save speed settings that will subsequently be

proposed for the purpose of conﬁguring these

two systems.

Active Safety Brake with

Collision Risk Alert and

Intelligent emergency

braking assistance

You can memorise multiple speed settings for

each of the two systems.

By default, some speed settings are already

memorised.

The vehicle has a camera located at the top of

the windscreen.

For more information, refer to the

General recommendations on the use

of driving and manoeuvring aids.

As a safety measure, the driver must only

change speed settings when stationary.

This system does not replace the need

for vigilance on the part of the driver.

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.

Changing a speed setting

Speed settings can be activated,

deactivated, selected and changed in the

Driving / Vehicle touch screen menu.

This system:

– warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of

collision with the vehicle in front.

– reduces the vehicle's speed to avoid a

collision or limit its severity.

"MEM" button

As soon as the system detects a

potential obstacle, it prepares the braking

circuit in case automatic braking is needed.

This may cause a slight noise and a slight

sensation of deceleration.

The system also takes motorcyclists and

animals into account; however, animals

below 0.5 m tall and objects on the road are

not necessarily detected.

This system is comprised of three functions:
