cruise control speed setting.

-

dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming

vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp

road, leaving a tunnel, alternating

shade and light, etc.),

If this warning lamp comes

on, accompanied by an

alert message and an

audible signal, this confirms

a malfunction.

The system allows:

-

camera or radar masked (mud, frost,

snow, condensation, etc.).

-

the driver to be warned that their vehicle is

at risk of collision with the vehicle in front,

a collision to be prevented, or its severity to

be limited, by reducing the vehicle's speed.

In these situations, detection performance

may be reduced.

The message "SYSTEM INACTIVE:

Reduced visibility". is displayed to indicate

that the function is in standby.

Have the system checked by a CITROËN

dealer or a qualified workshop.

This system is a driving aid that includes three

functions:

The adaptive cruise control deactivates

automatically if the use of a "space-saver"

type spare wheel is detected or if there is

a malfunction on the lateral brake lamps or

trailer brake lamps (for approved trailers).

Driving

Deactivation/Activation

By default, the system is automatically

activated at every engine start.

The system can be deactivated or activated via

the vehicle settings menu.

The following situations may interfere with

the operation of the system or prevent it

from working:

-

poor visibility (inadequate street

lighting, falling snow, heavy rain, dense

fog, etc.),

-

dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming

vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp

road, leaving a tunnel, alternating

shade and light, etc.),

camera or radar obstructed (mud, frost,

snow, condensation, etc.).

Deactivation of the system is

signalled by the illumination of this

indicator lamp, accompanied by the

display of a message.

-

The vehicle has a camera located at the top of

the windscreen, and, depending on the version,

a radar located in the front bumper.

On versions with camera alone, this

message indicates to you that the camera

is obstructed: "Driving aids camera:

visibility limited, see user guide".

In these situations, detection performance

may be reduced.

Operating conditions and

limits

The ESC system must not be faulty.

The ASR must not be deactivated.

All passenger seat belts must be fastened.

Driving at a steady speed on roads with few

bends is required.

This system is designed to assist the

driver and improve road safety.

It is the driver's responsibility to

continuously monitor the state of the

traffic, observing the driving regulations.

This system does not replace the need for

vigilance on the part of the driver.

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.

166

Driving

Collision Risk Alert

It warns the driver if their vehicle is at risk of

collision with the vehicle in front or a pedestrian

present in their traffic lane.

Clean the windscreen regularly,

The system is automatically deactivated

after the use of the "space-saver" type

spare wheel is detected, or if a fault with

the lateral brake lamps is detected.

particularly the area in front of the camera.

The internal surface of the windscreen can

also become misted around the camera.

In humid and cold weather, demist the

windscreen regularly.

Modifying the alert trigger

threshold

Do not allow snow to accumulate on the

bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could

conceal the detection camera.

Clean the front bumper, especially around

the radar, removing mud, snow, etc.

It is possible that warnings are not given,

are given too late or seem unjustified.

Consequently, always stay in control of

your vehicle and be prepared to react at

any time to avoid an accident.

This threshold determines how you wish

to be alerted of the presence of a moving

or stationary vehicle in front of you, or

a pedestrian present in your traffic lane.

The current threshold can only be

modified via the touch screen's

Driving menu.

In the following cases, deactivating the system

via the vehicle's configuration menu is advised:

After an impact, the function automatically

stops operating. Contact a CITROËN

dealer or a qualified workshop to have the

system checked.

-

towing a trailer,

carrying long objects on roof bars or roof

rack,

You can select one of three predefined

thresholds:

6

-

with snow chains fitted,

before using an automatic car wash, with

the engine running,

-

"Distant",

"Normal",

"Close".

If the front bumper is to be repainted or

retouched, contact a CITROËN dealer

or a qualified workshop. Certain types of

paint could interfere with the operation of

the radar.

-

before placing the vehicle on a rolling road

in a workshop,

The last threshold selected is kept in memory

when the ignition is switched off.

-

towed vehicle, engine running,

damaged front bumper (version with radar),

following impact to the windscreen close to

the detection camera.

Operation

Depending on the degree of risk of collision

detected by the system and the alert threshold

chosen by the driver, different levels of

alert can be triggered and displayed in the

instrument panel.

167

Driving

These levels of alert are based on the inter-

vehicle time between your vehicle and the

vehicle in front.

It aims to reduce the speed of impact or avoid

a frontal collision by your vehicle where the

driver fails to react.

Intelligent emergency

braking assistance

If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to avoid

a collision, this system will supplement the

braking, within the limits of the laws of physics.

This assistance will only be provided if you

press the brake pedal.

They take account of the vehicle dynamics,

the speed of your vehicle and the one in front,

the environmental conditions, the operation of

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

trigger the alert at the best moment.

Operation

The system operates under the following

conditions:

-

The vehicle's speed does not exceed

37 mph (60 km/h) when a pedestrian is

detected.

The vehicle's speed does not exceed

50 mph (80 km/h) when a stationary vehicle

is detected.

The vehicle's speed is between 6 mph and

53 mph (10 km/h and 85 km/h) (versions

with camera alone) or 87 mph (140 km/h)

(versions with camera and radar) when

a moving vehicle is detected.

Level 1 (orange): visual alert only,

signalling to you that the vehicle in

front is very close.

The message "Vehicle close" is

displayed.

Active Safety Brake

Level 2 (red): visual and audible

alert, warning you that a collision is

imminent.

If the camera and/or radar have

confirmed the presence of a vehicle

or a pedestrian, this warning lamp

flashes once the function is acting

on the vehicle's brakes.

The message "Brake!" is displayed.

Where the speed of your vehicle is too fast

approaching another vehicle, the first level

of alert may not be displayed: the level

2 alert may be displayed directly.

Important: alert level 1 is never displayed

when the "Close" trigger threshold has

been selected.

With an automatic gearbox, in the event of

automatic emergency braking until the vehicle

comes to a complete stop, keep the brake

pedal pressed down to prevent the vehicle from

starting off again.

With a manual gearbox, in the event of

automatic emergency braking until the vehicle

comes to a complete stop, the engine may stall.

This function, also called automatic emergency

braking, intervenes following the alert if the

driver does not react quickly enough and does

not operate the vehicle's brakes.

168

Driving

This system is a driving aid that cannot,

in any circumstances, replace the

driver's own vigilance. The driver must

remain in control of the vehicle under all

circumstances.

The system helps the driver only when

there is a risk of the vehicle involuntarily

wandering from the lane it is being driven

in. It does not manage the safe driving

distance, the speed of the vehicle or the

brakes.

Lane Departure Warning

System

Using a camera located at the top of the

windscreen to identify lane markings on the

ground, the system corrects the trajectory of

the vehicle while alerting the driver if it detects

a risk of involuntary crossing of a line.

This system is particularly useful on motorways

and main roads.

The driver can maintain control of the

vehicle at any time by sharply turning

the steering wheel and/or pressing the

accelerator pedal.

Operation of the function may be felt by

slight vibration in the brake pedal.

If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,

the automatic braking is maintained for

1 to 2 seconds.

The driver must hold the steering wheel

with both hands in a way that allows

control to be maintained in circumstances

where the system is not able to intervene

(if lane markings disappear, for example).

It is necessary to observe the driving

regulations and take a break every two

hours.

Malfunction

In the event of a fault with the

system, you are alerted by the

illumination of this warning lamp,

accompanied by the display of

a message and an audible signal.

Conditions for operation

6

The speed of the vehicle must be between

40 mph and 112 mph (65 km/h and 180 km/h).

The driver must hold the steering wheel with

both hands.

The change of trajectory must not be

accompanied by operation of the direction

indicators.

Operation

Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop to have the system checked.

Once the system identifies a risk of the vehicle

involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings

detected, it makes the correction to the

trajectory required to return the vehicle to its

initial path.

The driver will notice a turning movement of the

steering wheel.

The ESC system must be activated and fault-

free.

This warning lamp flashes during

trajectory correction.
