Driving
6In certain extreme weather conditions
(rain and/or snow, bright sunshine, etc.),
the head-up display may not be legible or
may suffer temporary interference.
Some sunglasses may hamper reading of the
information.
To clean the projection blade, use a clean,
soft cloth (such as a spectacles cloth or
microfibre cloth). Do not use a dry or abrasive
cloth, or detergent or solvent products, due to
the risk of scratching the projection blade or
damaging the non-reflective coating.
This system operates when the engine is running, and the settings are saved when
the ignition is switched off.
Driving and manoeuvring
aids - General
recommendations
Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must comply with the Highway
Code, must remain in control of the vehicle in
all circumstances and must be able to retake
control of it at all times. The driver must adapt
the speed to climatic conditions, traffic and
the state of the road.
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly
monitor traffic conditions, assess the distance
and relative speed of other vehicles, and
anticipate their manoeuvres before using the
direction indicator and changing lanes.
These systems do not make it possible to
exceed the laws of physics.
Driving aids
You should hold the steering wheel with
both hands, always use the door and interior
mirrors, always leave your feet close to the
pedals and take a break every 2 hours.
Manoeuvring aids
The driver must always check the
surroundings of the vehicle before and during
the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the
mirrors.
Radar(s)
The operation of the radar(s), along with
any associated functions, may be affected
by the accumulation of dirt (e.g.
mud, ice),
in poor weather conditions (e.g.
heavy rain,
snow), or if the bumpers are damaged.
If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop;
certain types of paint could interfere with the
operation of the radar(s).


Driving aids camera
This camera and its associated functions
may be impaired or not work if the windscreen
area in front of the camera is dirty, misty,
frosty, covered with snow, damaged or
masked by a sticker.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle
(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun,
reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel,
alternating shade and light) can also impair
detection performance.
In the event of a windscreen replacement,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to recalibrate the camera;
otherwise, the operation of the associated
driving aids may be disrupted.
Other cameras
The images from the camera(s)
displayed on the touch screen or on the
instrument panel may be distorted by the
terrain.

140
Driving
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and with
lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than they
actually are.
Sensors
The operation of the sensors, as well as
any associated functions, may be disrupted
by noise pollution such as that emitted by
noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries,
pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of
snow or dead leaves on the road or in the
event of damaged bumpers and mirrors.
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors
may be dirty.
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not
always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be distorted.
The sensors do not systematically detect
obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs)
or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind
spots may not be detected or may no longer
be detected during the manoeuvre.
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
Maintenance
Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and
the field of vision of the cameras regularly.
When washing your vehicle at high pressure,
direct the spray from at least 30
cm away
from the sensors and cameras.
Mats/Pedal trims
The use of mats or pedal trims not
approved by CITROËN may interfere with
the operation of the speed limiter or cruise
control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
–

Ensure that the mat is secured correctly
.
–

Never fit one mat on top of another
.
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed displayed
on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are
those for the country you are driving in.
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is
stationary, set the display to the required
units of speed so that it complies with what is
authorised locally.
In case of doubt, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Road signs recognition
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .


This system displays the maximum speed
authorised locally on the instrument panel, using:
–

Speed limit signs detected by the camera.
–


Speed limit information from the navigation
system’

s mapping.
–

Signs indicating a shared traffic zone detected
by the camera.

Navigation mapping should be regularly
updated in order to receive accurate
speed limit information from the system.
The units for the speed limit (mph or km/h) depend on the country you are
driving in.
This should be taken into account to ensure
you observe the speed limit.
For the system to work properly when
changing countries, the speed unit of the

142
Driving
instrument panel must match that of the
country you are driving in.
Automatic sign reading is a driving aid system and does not always display the
correct speed limits.
The speed limit signs present on the road
always take priority over those displayed by
the system.
The system is designed to detect signs that
conform to the Vienna Convention on road
signs.
Specific speed limits, such as those for
heavy goods vehicles, are not displayed.
The display of the speed limit on the
instrument panel is updated when passing
a speed limit sign intended for cars (light
vehicles).
Activation/Deactivation
By default, the system is automatically activated
at every engine start.
The settings are changed via the Driving/Vehicle touch screen
menu.

146
Driving
Cruise control - Specific
recommendations
The cruise control function does not guarantee compliance with the maximum
authorised speed and the safety distance
between vehicles, the driver remains
responsible for their driving.
In the interest of public safety, only use cruise
control if the traffic conditions enable vehicles
to drive at a steady speed and maintain an
adequate safety distance.
Remain vigilant while cruise control is
activated. If you press and hold one of the
speed setting modification buttons, your
vehicle may change speed very abruptly.
When descending a steep hill , the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the set speed. Brake if
necessary to control the vehicle speed.
On steep climbs or when towing, the set
speed may not be reached or maintained.
Exceeding the programmed speed
setting
You can temporarily exceed the speed
setting by pressing the accelerator pedal (the
programmed speed flashes).
To return to the speed setting, release the
accelerator pedal (when the set speed is
reached again, the displayed speed stops
flashing).

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Adaptive cruise control
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
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).
With the Stop function , the system manages
braking until the vehicle comes to a complete
stop.
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.


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.
Primarily designed for driving on main
roads and motorways, this system only
works with moving vehicles driving in the
same direction as your vehicle.
