Operating fault
Depending on your vehicle's equipment:In the event of a fault with the
system, this warning lamp flashes in
the instrument panel.
The indicator lamp in this button
flashes and a message appears,
accompanied by an audible signal. Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If a fault occurs in STOP mode, the vehicle may
stall.
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come
on.
Depending on version, an alert message may
also be displayed, asking you to place the gear
lever in position N and put your foot on the
brake pedal.
With the vehicle stationary, you must switch off
the ignition and then start the engine again.
Head-up display
System which projects various information onto
a blade in the driver's field of vision so that they
do not have to take their eyes off the road.
Displays during operation
A.
The speed of your vehicle.
B. Cruise control/speed limiter information.
C. If your vehicle is so equipped, inter-
vehicle distance information, automatic
emergency braking alerts and navigation
instructions.
D. If your vehicle is so equipped, speed limit
information.
Driving on flooded roads
Before driving in a flooded area, it is
strongly recommended that you deactivate
the Stop & Start system.
For more information on Driving advice
,
particularly on flooded roads, refer to the
corresponding section.
Once the system has been activated, the
following information is grouped together in the
head-up display:

Speed limit recognition and
memorising them in particular,
refer to the corresponding
section.
As a precaution, it is recommended that
you select a cruise speed setting close to
the current speed of your vehicle.

t
he speed to memorise is displayed in the
instrument panel,
F
press button 5
again to save the speed.
The value appears immediately on the
instrument panel. Using a radar with a range of about 100
metres,
located at the front of the vehicle, this system
detects a vehicle travelling in front of your
vehicle.
It automatically adjusts the speed of your
vehicle to that of the vehicle in front.
If the vehicle in front is running more slowly,
the system progressively reduces the speed of
your vehicle using just engine braking (as if the
driver had pressed the " -" b u t to n).
If your vehicle is too close to the vehicle in
front or is approaching it too quickly, adaptive
cruise control is automatically deactivated.
The driver is then alerted by an audible signal
accompanied by a message.
If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes
lane, the adaptive cruise control gradually
accelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed speed.
If the driver operates a direction indicator to
overtake a slower vehicle, the adaptive cruise
control allows your vehicle to temporarily
approach the vehicle in front to assist the
overtaking manoeuvre, though never exceeding
the programmed speed.
6
Driving

219
The adaptive cruise control operates by
day and night, in fog or moderate rainfall.
The system does not act on the braking
system, but works only with engine
braking.
The regulation range is limited: there will
no longer be any adjustment of speed if
the difference between the programmed
speed setting and the speed of the vehicle
in front becomes too high.
If the difference between the programmed
speed setting and the speed of the
vehicle in front is too great, the speed
cannot be adjusted: the cruise control is
automatically deactivated.Collision Risk Alert and
Active Safety Brake
Conditions for operation
The Collision Risk Alert system only operates:
- w ith a vehicle pointing in the same direction,
moving or stationary,
-

w
ith pedestrians,
-

a
bove 4 mph (7 km/h) (and deactivates at
3
mph (5 km/h)).
The Active Safety Brake system only operates:
-

b
etween 3 and 87 mph (5 and 140 km/h), in
the case of a moving vehicle,
-

a
t a speed below 50 mph (80 km/h), in the
case of a stationary vehicle,
-

a
t a speed below 37 mph (60 km/h), in the
case of a pedestrian,
-
i

f the passenger seat belts are fastened,
-

i
f the vehicle is not accelerating sharply,
-

i
f the vehicle is not in a tight corner.
The Active Safety Brake system does not
operate:
-

i
f the front bumper is damaged,
-

i
f the system has been triggered in the last
10


seconds,
-

i
f the electronic stability control system has
a fault.
The Collision Risk Aler t system allows the
driver to be warned that their vehicle is at
risk of collision with the vehicle in front or a
pedestrian in their traffic lane.
The Active Safety Brake system inter venes
following the aler t if the driver does not
react quickly enough and does not operate
the vehicle's brakes.
If the driver fails to act, it contributes
towards avoiding a collision or limiting
its severity by reducing the speed of your
vehicle.
These systems use a radar located in the
front bumper and a camera at the top of the
windscreen.

221
Programming the alert
thresholds
The thresholds for triggering an alert determine
how you wish to be warned of the presence of a
vehicle moving or stationary ahead of you, or a
pedestrian in your traffic lane.
You can select one of three thresholds:
- "Distant ", to be warned early (cautious
driving).
-
"Normal ".
-
"Close ", to be warned later.
With audio system
In the " Personalisation-
configuration " menu, activate/
deactivate " Auto. emergency
braking ".
Then change the alert threshold.
With the touch screen
In the " Driving/Vehicle " menu,
activate/deactivate " Collision risk
alert and automatic braking ".
Then change the alert threshold.
Press " Confirm " to save the change.
Active Safety Brake
If the radar and the camera have
confirmed the presence of a vehicle
or a pedestrian, this warning
lamp flashes when the system is
operating. Important
: if operation of the
automatic emergency braking is
triggered, you should take back
control of your vehicle and brake
with the pedal to add to or finish the
automatic braking.
The driver can take back control of the vehicle
at any time by sharply turning the steering
wheel and/or pressing the accelerator pedal.
The point at which braking is triggered
may be adjusted depending on the driving
actions of the driver, such as movement
of the steering wheel or actions on the
accelerator pedal.
Operation of the system may be felt by
slight vibration in the brake pedal.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
the automatic braking is maintained for
1 to 2 seconds.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of
automatic emergency braking until the
vehicle comes to a complete stop, the
vehicle may stall.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event
of automatic emergency braking until the
vehicle comes to a complete stop, keep
the brake pedal pressed down to prevent
the vehicle from starting off again.
This function, also called automatic emergency
braking, aims to reduce the speed of impact or
avoid a frontal collision by your vehicle where
the driver fails to react.
Using a radar and a camera, this system acts
on the vehicle's braking system.
6
Driving

222
If automatic emergency braking is not
activated, you are alerted by the fixed
display of the warning lamp accompanied
by a message.
Intelligent emergency braking
assistance
If the driver does not brake sufficiently
to avoid an accident, this system will
complete the braking.
This emergency braking system will not
act if you press the brake pedal.
Deactivation/Activation of the
alert and the braking
By default, the function is automatically
activated at every engine start.
The deactivation or activation of the function is
done in the vehicle configuration menu.
With audio system
In the "Personalisation-
configuration " menu, activate/
deactivate " Auto. emergency
braking ".
With the touch screen
In the "Driving/Vehicle " menu,
activate/deactivate " Collision risk
alert and automatic braking ".
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the
system, you are alerted by the
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal.
If the fault persists, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked. If one of the two sensors (camera or radar)
is masked or its visibility is reduced, while
the other sensor is able to work normally,
the system still operates, but at a lower
level of per formance. No message or
warning lamp indicates this.
To ensure correct operation of the radar,
do not paint over the paintwork on the
vehicle's bumper.
Poor weather conditions (very heavy
rain, accumulation of snow in front of the
radar and the camera) may hinder the
operation of the system, with the display of
an operating fault message. The function
remains unavailable until the message
disappears.

224
Fatigue detection system
It is recommended that you take a break as
soon as you feel tired or at least every two
hours.The system cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
Do not take the wheel if you are tired.
Driving time warning
The system triggers an alert once it
detects that the driver has not taken
a break after two hours of driving at
a speed above 40
mph (65 km/h).If the driver does not follow this advice, the
alert is repeated hourly until the vehicle is
stopped.
The system resets itself if one of the following
conditions is met:
-

e
ngine running, the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 15

minutes,
-
t
he ignition has been switched off for a few
minutes,
-
t
he driver's seat belt is unfastened and their
door is open.
As soon as the speed of the vehicle drops
below 40 mph (65 km/h), the system goes
into standby.
The driving time is counted again once the
speed is above 40
mph (65 km/h).
Activation/Deactivation
The system is activated or deactivated via the
vehicle configuration menu.
With audio system
In the "Personalisation-
configuration " menu, activate/
deactivate " Fatigue Detection
System ".
With the touch screen
In the "Driving/Vehicle " menu,
activate/deactivate " Fatigue
Detection System ".
This alert is issued via the display of a
message encouraging you to take a break,
accompanied by an audible signal.
Driver attention alert
Depending on version, the "Driving time
warning" may be combined with the "Driver
attention alert". The system assesses the driver's
level of alertness by identifying
trajectory changes in relation to the
lane markings.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 40
mph (65 km/h)).
Driving

225
When the system interprets the behaviour of
the vehicle as indicating a certain fatigue or
inattention threshold on the part of the driver, it
triggers the first level of alert.
The driver is then alerted by the message
"Ta k e c a r e ! ", accompanied by an audible
signal.
After three first level alerts, the system triggers
a new alert with the message " Take a break!",
accompanied by a more pronounced audible
signal.
In certain driving conditions (poor road
sur face or strong winds), the system may
give alerts independent of the driver's
level of vigilance. The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
working:
-

p
oor visibility (inadequate lighting of
the roadway, falling snow, heavy rain,
dense fog, etc.),
-
d
azzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp
road, leaving a tunnel, alternating
shade and light, etc.),
- w indscreen area located in front of the
camera: dirty, misted, frost-covered,
snow-covered, damaged or covered by
a s t i c ke r,
-

l
ane markings absent, worn, masked
(snow, mud) or multiple (roadworks,
e t c .),
-

c
lose to the vehicle ahead (lane
markings not detected),
-

r
oads that are narrow, winding, etc.
The system cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
Do not drive if you are tired or taking
medicines that can cause drowsiness.
Blind spot monitoring
system
A fixed warning lamp appears in the door mirror
on the side in question:
-
i
mmediately, when being overtaken,
-

a
fter about one second, when overtaking a
vehicle slowly.
This driving assistance system warns the driver
of the presence of another vehicle in the blind
spot angle of their vehicle (areas hidden from
the driver's field of vision), as soon as this
presents a potential danger.
6
Driving

226
This system is designed to improve safety
when driving and is in no circumstances
a substitute for the use of the interior rear
view mirror and door mirrors. It is the
driver's responsibility to constantly check
the traffic, to assess the distances and
relative speeds of other vehicles and to
predict their movements before deciding
whether to change lane.
The alert is given by a warning lamp which
comes on in the door mirror on the side in
question as soon as a vehicle – car, lorry,
bicycle – is detected and the following
conditions are fulfilled:
-

a
ll the vehicles must be moving in the same
direction and on adjacent lanes,
-

t

he speed of the vehicle must be between
7
and 87 mph (12 and 140 km/h),
-

y
ou overtake a vehicle with a speed
difference of less than 6
mph (10 km/h),
-

a v
ehicle overtakes you with a speed
difference of less than 16
mph (25 km/h),
-

t

he traffic must be flowing normally,
-

i

n the case of an overtaking manoeuvre,
if this is prolonged and the vehicle being
overtaken returns to the blind spot,
-

y
ou are driving on a straight or slightly
curved road,
-

y
our vehicle is not pulling a trailer, a
caravan, etc. No alert will be given in the following situations:
-

i
n the presence of non-moving objects
(parked vehicles, barriers, street lamps,
road signs, etc.),
-
on

coming traffic,
-

d
riving on a winding road or a sharp corner,-

w
hen overtaking or being overtaken by a
very long vehicle (lorry, bus, etc.) which is
also in the rear blind spot and present in the
driver’s front field of vision,
-

i
n very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in
front and behind are confused with a lorry or
a stationary object,
-

w
hen overtaking quickly.
