Emergency braking

Deactivating automatic

operation

The emergency braking should only be

used in an exceptional situation.

In some situations, such as very cold weather

or towing (caravan, recovery), it may be

necessary to deactivate automatic operation of

the system.

From this point the parking brake can only

be applied and released manually using the

control lever.

In the event of a failure of the main service

brake or in an exceptional situation (e.g. driver

taken ill, under instruction, etc) a continuous

pull on the control lever will brake the vehicle.

Braking takes place while the control lever is

being pulled. It is interrupted if the control lever

is released.

The ABS and DSC systems provide stability of

the vehicle during emergency braking.

If the emergency braking malfunctions, the

message "Parking brake control faulty" will be

displayed.

ꢀ

Start the engine.

Apply the parking brake with the control

lever, if it is released.

Repeat this procedure to reactivate automatic

operation.

Reactivation of automatic operation is

confirmed by the indicator lamp in the

instrument panel going off.

If a failure of the ABS and DSC systems,

signalled by the illumination of one or both

warning lamps in the instrument panel, then

stability of the vehicle is no longer guaranteed.

In this event, stability must be assured by the

driver by repeating alternate "pull-release"

actions on the control lever until the vehicle is

immobilised.

Deactivation of the automatic functions

is confirmed by illumination of this

indicator lamp in the instrument panel.

instruction to change gear is acted on.

This function allows you to anticipate certain

situations such as overtaking another vehicle or

approaching a bend.

After a few moments with no action on the

For maximum acceleration, without touching

the gear selector, press the accelerator fully

down (kick down). The gearbox changes down

automatically and maintains the gear selected

until the maximum engine speed is reached.

When braking, the gearbox changes down

automatically for more effective engine braking.

When you take your foot of the accelerator

pedal suddenly, the gearbox does not change

up, so as to improve safety.

In this case the gearbox goes into back-up

mode and stays in 3^rdgear. You may then feel

a noticeable jolt when going from P to R and

from N to R. This jolt does not present any risk

to the gearbox.

System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up.

With an electronic gearbox, the system is only active in Manual mode.

Operation

Depending on the driving situation and your

you to skip one (or more) gear(s). You can

follow this instruction without engaging the

intermediate gears.

The gear engagement recommendations must

Stop & Start

The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The

engine restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.

Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.

Active cruise control

This systems allows, in addition to maintaining

your vehicle's speed at a value that you

have defined, the inter-vehicle time you have

selected between your vehicle the the one

ahead to be maintained (2 seconds by default,

on activating the function).

Principles of operation

Using a radar with a range of about 100 metres,

located at the front of the vehicle, this system

detects a vehicle running in front of your

vehicle.

The active cruise control operates by

day and at night, in fog or in moderate

rainfall.

It automatically adapts the speed of the vehicle

to that of the vehicle in front.

If the vehicle in front is running more slowly,

the system progressively reduces the speed of

your vehicle using just engine braking (as if the

driver had pressed the "

-

" button).

If your vehicle is too close to or approaching too

quickly the vehicle in front, the cruise control

is automatically deactivated. The driver is then

alerted by an audible signal, accompanied by a

message.

If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes

lane, the active cruise control progressively

accelerates your vehicle to return to the

programmed speed.

The activation of this system

deactivates the function of inter-vehicle

time.

The system does not act on the braking

system, but works only with engine

braking.

The regulation range is limited: there will

no longer be any adjustment of speed if the

difference between the programmed speed

setting and the speed of the vehicle in front

becomes too high (18 mph (30 km/h).

If the difference between the

programmed speed setting and the

speed of the vehicle in front is too

great, the speed cannot be adjusted:

the cruise control is automatically

deactivated.

If the driver operates a direction indicator to

the left (left hand drive) or the right (right hand

drive), to overtake a slower vehicle, the active

cruise control allows your vehicle to temporarily

approach the vehicle in front to assist the

overtaking manoeuvre, though never exceeding

the programmed speed.

174

Operating fault

In the event of a fault with the active cruise

control, you are alerted by an audible signal

and display of the message message "Driving

aid functions fault".

Have the system checked by a CITROËN

dealer or a qualified workshop.

When the cruise control is working, take

care if making a maintained press on

one of the cruise control programmed

speed modification buttons: this can

lead to a very quick change in the

speed of your vehicle.

Do not use the active cruise control on

slippery surfaces or in heavy traffic.

When descending a steep hill, the

cruise control may not be able to

prevent the vehicle from exceeding the

programmed speed.

The operation of the radar, located in

the front bumper, may be disturbed by

accumulations of grime (dust, mud...)

or in certain weather conditions (snow,

ice...).

The message "SYSTEM INACTIVE:

Visibility reduced" is displayed to signal

that the system has been put into

standby.

Clean the front bumper regularly.

When ascending a steep hill or when

towing, it might not be possible to attain

or maintain the programmed speed.

The use of mats not approved by

CITROËN may interfere with the

operation of the cruise control.

To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:

-

ensure that mats are positioned

correctly,

never fit one mat on top of another.

The alert thresholds determine how you want to

be alerted to the presence of a vehicle running

in front of you.

ꢀ

check the "Collision risk alert" line and

confirm.

You can choose from three thresholds:

-

1: "Distant", to be given an early alert

(cautious driving).

2: "Normal".

3: "Close", to be given a later alert (sporty

driving).

This system operates from 20 mph

(30 km/h), only when other vehicles are

running in the same direction as your

vehicle; the system does not detect

stationary objects. A radar is fitted at

the front of the vehicle.

-

This function can be deactivated

permanently by a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop.

From the secondary page of the "Driving

assistance" menu:

This system has been designed to

improve driving safety.

"Finish" to memorise the threshold and

leave the menu.

It is the responsibility of the driver to

keep a constant check on the state of

the traffic, to assess the relative speed

and distance of other vehicles.

The collision risk alert system can never

replace the vigilance and responsibility

of the driver.

182

Driving

Alerts

According to the collision risk detected by the

system and the alert threshold chosen, three

levels of alert can be triggered:

Level 3: an increase in

the tension of the driver's

seat belt, to hold the driver

against the backrest of their

seat.

The change from one level of alert

to the next takes place if the driving

conditions do not change (speed

unchanged, no change of lane...)

Level 1: visual alert only (orange)

indicating that the vehicle in front is

very close. The message "Vehicle

close" is displayed.

4

The 3^rdlevel of alert is not triggered or

is interrupted in the event of an impact

between the two vehicles.

The increase in the tension of the

driver's seat belt is not intended as an

alert for the driver: it does not in any

circumstances assure the function of

driver safety.

If the speed of your vehicle is too high

when approaching another vehicle, the

first level of alert may not be displayed:

the level 2 alert may be displayed

directly.

On the other hand, the level 1 alert

is never displayed with the triggering

threshold 3 (close).

This level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle

time between your vehicle and the one in front.

Level 2: visual (red) and audible

alerts indicating that a collision is

imminent. The message "Brake!" is

displayed.

The triggering of this alert does not act

on the safety functions provided by the

seat belts.

Severe weather conditions (very heavy

rain, accumulation of snow in front

of the radar) may interfere with the

operation of the system, resulting in

the display of the message "System

inactive: Reduced visibility". The

system remains unavailable until the

message disappears.

This level of alert is based on a time before

collision. It takes account of the vehicle

dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and

the speed of the vehicle in front, the driving

conditions, the situation with your vehicle

(cornering, pedals pressed, etc.) to trigger the

alert at the right moment.
