received from the remote control.
Whatever the position of the front courtesy lamp
switch, they also come on with the welcome
lighting and guide-me-home lighting functions.
They go off automatically after 30 seconds.
Automatic headlamp dipping
This system automatically changes between
dipped and main beam headlamps according to
the brightness and driving conditions, using a
camera located at the top of the windscreen.
This system is a driving aid.
The driver remains responsible for
the vehicle's lighting, its correct use for the
prevailing conditions of light, visibility and
traffic, and for observation of driving and
vehicle regulations.
The system will be operational as soon as you exceed 16 mph (25 km/h).
If the speed drops below 9 mph (15
km/h), the
system no longer operates.


Activation / Deactivation
► Turn the lighting control stalk ring to the
"AUTO" position.
► In the Vehicle / Driving menu, select
the "Driving functions " tab, then

traffic conditions do not allow the main beam
headlamps to be lit:
– The dipped beam head lamps
remain lit. These indicator lamps
come on on the instrument panel.
If the ambient light level is very low and traffic
conditions permit:
– The main beam headla mps
come on automatically. These
indicator lamps come on on the instrument
panel.
The function is deactivated if the foglamps are
switched on or the system detects thick fog.
When the foglamps are switched off or the
vehicle leaves the area of thick fog, the function
is automatically reactivated.
This indicator lamp goes out when the function is deactivated.
Pause
If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.

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 climactic conditions, traffic and
the state of the road.
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly
check the traffic, to assess the relative
distances and speeds of other vehicles and to
anticipate their movements before indicating
and changing lane.
The systems cannot exceed the limits of the
laws of physics.
Driving aids
You should hold the steering wheel
with both hands, always use the interior and
exterior rear view mirrors, always keep the
feet close to the pedals and take a break
every two 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
The operation of the radar as well as the
associated functions may be impaired through
the accumulation of dirt (mud, frost, etc.), in
certain difficult weather conditions (very heavy
rain, snow) or if the bumper is damaged.

11 8
Driving
Speed Limit Recognition
and Recommendation
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids.


This system displays the maximum authorised
speed in the instrument panel, according to
the speed limits in the country in which you are
driving, using:
– Speed limit signs detected by the camera.
– Speed limit details from the navigation system
mapping.
Navigation mapping should be regularly
updated in order to receive accurate
speed limit information from the system.
– Signs indicating an intersection area detected
by the camera.
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.


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.
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 radar, sensors and cameras.
Mats
The use of mats 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
in 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.

control is ready to operate (grey display).
Switching on cruise control and setting
the speed
With a manual gearbox, your speed must be
between 19 and 112 mph (30 and 180 km/h).
With an automatic EAT6 gearbox, your speed
must be between 1 and 112 mph (2 and
180 km/h).
With an automatic EAT8 gearbox, your speed
must be between 0 and 112 mph (0 and
180 km/h).
► Press button 2 or 3: the current speed
becomes the speed setting (minimum 19 mph
(30 km/h)) and cruise control is immediately
activated (green display).
Highway Driver Assist
Only available on versions with automatic
gearbox.
This system automatically adjusts the speed and
corrects the trajectory of the vehicle, using the
Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop&Go function
in conjunction with the Lane Positioning Assist.
These two functions must be activated and in
operation.
This system is especially suitable for driving on
motorways and main roads.
For more information on Adaptive Cruise
Control and Lane Positioning Assist, refer to
the corresponding sections.
The system assists the driver by acting on the steering, acceleration and braking,
within the limits of the laws of physics and the
capabilities of the vehicle. Certain road
infrastructure elements or vehicles present on
the road may not be properly seen or may be
poorly interpreted by the camera and radar,
resulting in an unexpected change in
direction, a lack of steering correction and/or
inappropriate management of acceleration or
braking.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids and to
Cruise control - particular recommendations.
This system automatically maintains the speed
of your vehicle at a value which you set (speed
setting), while keeping a safe distance from the
vehicle in front (target vehicle), and which has
been set beforehand by the driver. The system
automatically manages the acceleration and
deceleration of the vehicle.
With the Stop function , the system manages
the braking until the vehicle comes to a complete
stop.
With the Stop
& Go function, the system
manages the braking until the vehicle comes to a
complete stop and the restarting of the vehicle.
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 so, it has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen and, depending on version, a
radar located 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.
If the driver operates a direction indicator
to overtake a slower vehicle, the cruise
control allows the vehicle to temporarily
approach the vehicle in front to assist the
overtaking manoeuvre, without ever
exceeding the speed setting.
Some vehicles present on the road may
not be properly seen or may be poorly
interpreted by the camera and/or radar (e.g. a
lorry), which may lead to a poor assessment
of the distances and lead to the vehicle
inappropriately accelerating or braking.
Steering-mounted controls
1. ON (CRUISE position)/OFF (position 0)
2. Activation of cruise control at the current
speed/decrease speed setting
3. Activation of cruise control at the current
speed/increase speed setting

6When moving off again, watch out for
cyclists, pedestrians and animals, as
they may not be detected properly.
Operating limits
Cruise control operates by day and night, in fog
or moderate rainfall.
Certain situations cannot be managed by the
system and require driver intervention.
Cases of non-detection by the system:
–

Pedestrians, some cyclists, animals.
–


Stationary vehicles (traffic jam, breakdown,
etc.).


– Vehicles crossing your lane.
– V ehicles driving in the opposite direction.
Situations in which the driver must pause the
cruise control system:


– Vehicles in a tight bend.
– When approaching a roundabout.

– When following a narrow vehicle.
Reactivate cruise control when conditions permit.
Situations in which the driver is prompted to
immediately resume control:
–

Excessively sharp deceleration by the vehicle
in front of you.


– When a vehicle cuts in sharply between your
vehicle and the one in front.
Pay particular attention:
– When motorcycles are present and
when there are vehicles staggered across the
traffic lane.
–

When entering a tunnel or crossing a
bridge.
If any of the following malfunctions
occurs, do not use the system:
–

Following an impact on the windscreen
close to the camera or on the front bumper
(versions with radar).
–


Brake lamps not working.
If the vehicle has undergone any of the
following modifications, do not use the
system:
–

–


Towing.
–

Use of the "space-saver" type spare wheel
(depending on version).
–


Front end of the vehicle modified (for
example by adding long-range headlamps or
painting the front bumper).
Malfunction
If the cruise control malfunctions,
dashes are displayed instead of
the cruise control speed setting.
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an alert message and an
audible signal, this confirms the malfunction.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer
