not possible, conditions unsuitable" is displayed while reactivation is not possible. When the conditions allow, it is recommended that the function be reactivated by pressing button 2or 3,
which will make the current speed of your vehicle the new cruise speed setting, rather than by pressing button 4(on/pause) which reactivates the cruise control using the old cruise speed setting, which may be very different from the current speed of your vehicle.

"
SPEED ADJUSTED" Detection of a vehicle that is too close or running at a speed lower than your
vehicle's cruise speed setting.
The system uses engine braking to slow your vehicle and then hold it at the speed of
the 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)between the speed setting and the speed of the vehicle ahead.
"
Cruise control paused". If the system exceeds the limit of speed adjustment possible by the system and in
the absence of any reaction by the driver (operation of the direction indicator, change
of lane, reduction of the speed of the vehicle), the system is automatically paused.
The display of the deactivation message is accompanied by an audible signal.

180
Driving
The active cruise control uses only engine
braking to slow the vehicle. Consequently the
vehicle looses speed slowly, as when releasingthe accelerator pedal.
The system is paused automatically:
- if the vehicle in front slows down to much
or too suddenl
y, and the driver does notbrake,
- if a vehicle comes between your vehicle and the vehicle in front,
- if the system does not slow the vehicle
enough to continue to maintain a safe
distance, for example when descending a
steep hill.
Limits of operation

As the radar's field of view is quite narrow, it is
possible that the system may not detect:
Th
e cruise control does not take account of:


- stationary vehicles,

- vehicles driving in the opposite direction.

- vehicles o
f reduced width, such as
motorcycles, for example,


- vehicles not runnin
g in the middle of the lane,


- ve
hicles entering a corner,


- vehicles changing lane at the last moment.
The re
gulation range is limited to a maximum
difference of 20 mph (30 km/h) between thespeed setting and the speed of the vehicle ahead. Above this, the system goes into pause
if a safe distance is not maintained.
Severe weather conditions (very heavy rain, accumulations of snow in frontof the radar) can interfere with theoperation of the system, resulting inthe display of the message "SYSTEMINACTIVE: Visibility reduced". Thefunction remains unavailable until themessage disappears.

Driving
In the event of a fault with the active cruisecontrol, you are alerted by an audible signal
and display of the message message "Drivingaid functions fault".
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
When the cruise control is working, takecare if making a maintained press onone of the cruise control programmedspeed modification buttons: this can lead to a very quick change in thespeed of your vehicle. Do not use the active cruise control onslippery surfaces or in heavy traffic. When descending a steep hill, thecruise control may not be able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding theprogrammed speed.When ascending a steep hill or whentowing, it might not be possible to attainor maintain the programmed speed. The use of mats not approved by CITROËN may inter fere 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.


Operating fault


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 intostandby.
Clean the front bumper regularly.

The change from one level of alertto the next takes place if the drivingconditions do not change (speedunchanged, no change of lane...)


Severe weather conditions (very heavy rain, accumulation of snow in front of the radar) may interfere with the operation of the system, resulting inthe display of the message " Systeminactive: Reduced visibility
". T hesystem remains unavailable until themessage disappears.



If the speed of your vehicle is too high when approaching another vehicle, the first level of aler t may not be displayed: the level 2 aler t may be displayeddirectly.
On the other hand, the level 1 aler t is never displayed with the triggeringthreshold 3 (close).


Alerts
According to the collision risk detected by thesystem and the aler t threshold chosen, three
levels of aler t can be triggered:
Level 1: visual aler t only (orange)indicating that the vehicle in front is
very close. The message " Vehicle close" is displayed.
Level 2 : visual (red) and audible alerts indicating that a collision is imminent. The message "Brake!
" is
displayed. Thi
s level of alert is based on the inter-vehicletime between your vehicle and the one in front.
Thi
s level of alert is based on a time beforecollision. 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. Level
3: an increase in
the tension of the driver'sseat belt, to hold the driver
against the backrest of their seat.
The 3rdlevel of aler t is not triggered or is interrupted in the event of an impactbetween the two vehicles. The increase in the tension of the driver's seat belt is not intended as analer t for the driver: it does not in anycircumstances assure the function of driver safety.The triggering of this aler t does not act on the safety functions provided by theseat belts.

This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) which comes within the field of detection of sensorslocated in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (stake, roadworkscone, etc.) detected initially will no longer bedetected at the end of the manoeuvre due to
the presence of blind spots.






Parking sensors


This function cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the vigilance and responsibility of the driver.The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear. This is accompanied by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you exit reverse gear.
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by anintermittent audible signal, the frequency of whichincreases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)indicates the side on which the obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle andthe obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomescontinuous.

Rear parking sensors


Visual assistance

This supplements the audible signal bydisplaying bars in the screen or the instrument
panel which move progressively nearer to
the vehicle. When the obstacle is near, the"Danger" symbol is displayed.

Reversing camera


Clean the reversing camera regularly using a soft, dry cloth.
The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
Depending on version, the image is displayed in
the touch screen tablet or the instrument panel.
The space between the blue lines represents
the width of your vehicle except for the door
mirrors.
The blue lines represent the general direction of the vehicle.
The red lines represent a distance of about
30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's
rear bumper. The audible signal becomes continuous from this limit.
The green lines represent distances of about 1
and 2 metres beyond the edge of your vehicle's
rear bumper.

The turquoise blue curves represent the
maximum turning circle.
The reversing camera cannot in any circumstances be a substitute for thevigilance and responsibility of the driver.

Opening the tailgate causes the display to disappear.


The reversing camera function may be completed with parking sensors.

360 Vision
This system provides a view in the instrument panel of the near surroundings of your vehicle,
using cameras mounted at the front and rear of
your vehicle and under the door mirrors.
Dependin
g on the angle of view chosen (front
view, rear view or 360° panoramic view),360 Vision provides special visual assistance
in particular driving conditions such as when entering a blind crossing or monoeuvring in
areas of reduced visibility.Once activated, this function operates up to9 mph (15 km/h). Above 18 mph (30 km/h), thefunction is deactivated automatically.
This system is a visual aid which in nocircumstances can replace the vigilance and responsibility of the driver. The images provided by the cameras may be deformed by the relief. Thepresence of areas in shade, in sunny conditions, or of low ambient light maydarken the image and reduce contrast.
Forward vision

The camera located in the front bumper isactivated and views of the areas located at frontleft and front right appear simultaneously in the
instrument panel.

Rear vision

The camera located in the tailgate is activated
and the view of the area behind your vehicle is
displayed in the instrument panel and behaveslike a reversing camera, whatever the position
of the gear selector lever.
The blue lines represent the width of your
vehicle (excluding mirrors): they move
according to the position of the steering wheel.
The red line represents a distance of 30 cm
from the rear bumper, and the two
green
lines, 1 m and 2 m from the rear bumper,
respectively.

Rear vision is displayed automaticallywhen engaging reverse, regardless of the state of the system.

The sequence of manoeuvres and the driving instructions are displayed in the instrument panel.
You should always check thesurroundings of your vehicle beforestarting a manoeuvre.
The assistance isdeactivated: the display of this symbol indicates that the steering manoeuvres are no longer controlled by the system: you must takecontrol of the steering.
The assistance isactivated: the display of this symbol and a speed limit indicate that the steering manoeuvres are controlledby the system: do not touch the steering wheel.


The park sensors function is notavailable during parking spacemeasurement. It intervenes later whenmanoeuvring to warn you that your vehicle is approaching an obstacle: theaudible signal becomes continuouswhen the obstacle is less than thir ty centimetres away.
If you have deactivated the parking sensors, they are automatically reactivated during assisted parkingmanoeuvres.


Activation of Park Assist inhibits the blind spot monitoring function.
