Limits of operation
The system cannot exceed the limits of the laws   of   physics.
It is recommended that the system be
deactivated when the "space-saver" spare
wheel
  is   in   use.
The system should not be activated when
towing
  a   trailer.
In certain critical situations, the system will
encourage
  the   driver   to   immediately   take   back  
c

ontrol:
-

i
f the vehicle in front slows down too much
or too suddenly, and the driver does not
brake,
-

i
f a vehicle comes between your vehicle
and
  the   vehicle   in   front. As
  the   radar's   field   of   detection   is   quite   narrow,  
i

t   is   possible   that   the   system   may   not   detect:
-

v
ehicles of reduced width (motorcycles,
scooters...),
-
 
v
ehicles   not   running   in   the   middle   of   the  
lan

e,
-
 
v
ehicles   entering   a   corner,
-
 
v
ehicles   suddenly   pulling   out.The
  cruise   control   does   not   take   account   of:
-

p
edestrians, cyclists, animals,
-
 
s
tationary   vehicles   (traffic   jam,   red   light,  
b

reakdown...),
-
 
v
ehicles   crossing   a   junction,
-
 
v
ehicles   driving   in   the   opposite   direction.

that have been tested and approved
from
  the   design   stage   of   your   vehicle,  
a

e

ntrusted to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
 w

orkshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a
CITROËN dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's
 i

nstructions.

vehicle   is   primarily   designed   for  
t

ransporting   people   and   luggage,   but   it   may  
a

lso
 
be   used   for   towing   a   trailer. Driving   with   a   trailer   places   greater  
d

emands   on   the   towing   vehicle   and   the  
d

river   must   take   particular   care.

advice ,   particularly   when   towing,   refer  
t

o   the   corresponding   section.
