No
vehicle detected:
t

Detection
of a vehicle, at the limit of the range of the radar:
t
he system operates as a standard cruise control.
"SPEED ADJUSTED" Detection
of a vehicle that is too close or running at a speed lower than your
v
ehicle's cruise speed setting.
The
system uses engine braking to slow your vehicle and then hold it at the speed of
t
he vehicle in front so as to maintain the programmed inter-vehicle time.
The
regulation range is limited to a maximum difference of 20 mph (30 km/h)
b
etween the speed setting and the speed of the vehicle ahead.
"SPEED ADJUSTED" When
the adjusted speed reaches the control limit (speed setting - 20 mph
(
30 km/h)), the adjusted speed flashes together with the speed setting, to signal that
a
utomatic deactivation of the system is imminent.
"Cruise control
paused" If
the system exceeds the limit of speed adjustment possible by the system and
i
n the absence of any reaction by the driver (operation of the direction indicator,
c
hange of lane, reduction of the speed of the vehicle), the system is automatically
pa
used.
The
display of the deactivation message is accompanied by an audible signal.
Driving situations and associated alerts
The table below describes the alerts and the messages displayed for the different driving situations.
T he display of these alerts is not sequential.

When the dynamic cruise control is automatically paused, it can only be
r
eactivated when safe conditions are
r
estored. The message "Activation
n
ot possible, conditions unsuitable"
i
s displayed while reactivation is not
p
ossible.
When
the conditions allow, it is
r
ecommended that the system be
r
eactivated by pressing button 2 or 3,
which
will make the current speed of
y
our vehicle the new cruise speed
s
etting, rather than by pressing button 4
(on/pause)
which reactivates the system
u
sing the old cruise speed setting,
w
hich may be very different from the
c
urrent speed of your vehicle. The
dynamic cruise control uses only engine b
raking to slow the vehicle. Consequently the
v
ehicle loses speed slowly, as when releasing
t
he accelerator pedal.
The
system is paused automatically:
-
i
f the vehicle in front slows down too much
o
r too suddenly, and the driver does not
b
rake,
-
i
f a vehicle comes between your vehicle
a
nd the vehicle in front,
-
i
f the system does not slow the vehicle
e
nough to continue to maintain a safe
d
istance, for example when descending a
s
teep hill.
Limits of operation
As the radar's field of view is quite narrow, it is possible that the system may not detect:
The
cruise control does not take account of:
-
s
tationary vehicles,
-
v
ehicles driving in the opposite direction.
-
v
ehicles of reduced width, such as
m
otorcycles, for example,
-
v
ehicles not running in the middle of the
lan
e,
-
v
ehicles entering a corner,
-
v
ehicles changing lane at the last moment.
The
regulation
range
is
limited
to
a
maximum
d
ifference
of
20
mph
(30
km/h)
between
the
s
peed
setting
and
the
speed
of
the
vehicle
in
f
ront.
Above
this,
the
system
goes
into
pause
if
a
safe
distance
is
not
maintained.
Severe

conditions
(very
heavy
r
ain,

of
snow
in

can

In the event of a fault with the dynamic cruise control, you are alerted by an audible signal
a
nd the display of the message "Driving aid
f
unctions
f
ault".
Have
the system checked by a CITROËN
d
ealer or a qualified workshop. When
the cruise control is working, take
c
are if making a maintained press on
o
ne of the cruise control programmed
s
peed modification buttons: this can
l
ead to a very quick change in the
s
peed of your vehicle.
Do
not use the dynamic cruise control
o
n slippery sur faces or in heavy traffic.
When
descending a steep hill, the
c
ruise control may not be able to
p
revent the vehicle from exceeding the
pro
grammed
s
peed.
When
ascending a steep hill or when
t
owing, it might not be possible to attain
o
r maintain the programmed speed.
Operating fault
The operation of the radar, located in the front bumper, may be disturbed by
a
ccumulations of grime (dust, mud...)
o
r in certain weather conditions (snow,
i
ce...).
The
message "SYSTEM INACTIVE:
V
isibility reduced" is displayed to signal
t
hat the system has been put into
s
t a n dby.
Clean
the front bumper regularly.
