Messages and alerts
The display of these messages or alerts is
not sequential.
Operating limits
“Cruise control paused” or “Cruise
control suspended” following a brief
acceleration by the driver.
“Cruise control active”, no vehicle
detected.
“Cruise control active”, vehicle
detected.
“Cruise control active and speed
adjusted”, vehicle detected too close
or at a slower speed.
“Cruise control active and speed
adjusted”, automatic deactivation
imminent following a cruise control
limit being reached.
“Cruise control paused”, automatic
deactivation following speed limit
adjustment being exceeded and no
reaction from the driver. The regulation range is limited to a
maximum difference of 19 mph (30
km/h)
between the cruise speed setting and the
speed of the vehicle in front.
Above this, the system pauses itself if the
safety distance becomes too short.
The adaptive cruise control uses only engine
braking to slow the vehicle. Consequently the
vehicle loses speed slowly, as when releasing
the accelerator pedal.
The system is paused automatically:
-

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,
-

i
f the system does not slow the vehicle
enough to continue to maintain a safe
distance, for example when descending a
steep hill.
Cases of non- detection by the radar:
-

S
tationary vehicles (traffic jam, breakdown,
e t c .) .
-

V
ehicles driving in the opposite direction.

permit. Cases where the driver is urged to take
back control immediately:
-

W
hen a vehicle cuts in sharply between
your vehicle and the one in front.
-

E
xcessively sharp deceleration of the
vehicle in front of you.
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 great.
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.Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction of the adaptive
cruise control system, you are warned by an
audible signal and the display of the message
"Driving aid functions fault".
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Active Safety Brake
with Distance Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
This system allows:
-

t
he driver to be warned that their vehicle is
at risk of collision with the vehicle in front,
-

a c
ollision to be prevented, or its severity to
be limited, by reducing the vehicle’s speed.
This system is comprised of three functions:
-

Driving

172
- Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency b r ak ing).
The vehicle has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen and a radar located in the front
b u m p e r. This system does not avoid the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system is designed to assist the
driver and improve road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to
continuously monitor the state of the
traffic, observing the driving regulations.
As soon as the system detects a potential
obstacle, it prepares the braking circuit in
case automatic braking is needed. This
may cause a slight noise and a slight
sensation of deceleration.Operating conditions and
limits
The ESC system must not be faulty.
All passenger seat belts must be fastened.
Driving at a steady speed on roads with few
bends is required.
In the following cases, deactivating the system
via the vehicle's configuration menu is advised:
-

t
owing a trailer,
-

c
arrying long objects on roof bars or roof
rack,
-
w

ith snow chains fitted,
-

b
efore using an automatic car wash, with
the engine running,
-

b
efore placing the vehicle on a rolling road
in a workshop,
-

t
owed vehicle, engine running,
-
d

amaged front bumper,
-

F
ollowing an impact to the windscreen close
to the detection camera.
It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
Consequently, always stay in control of
your vehicle and be prepared to react at
any time to avoid an accident. After an impact, the function automatically
stops operating. Contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
Distance Alert
It warns the driver if their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the vehicle in front or a pedestrian
present in their traffic lane.
Operation
Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert threshold
chosen by the driver, several different levels
of alert may be triggered and displayed in the
instrument panel.
They take account of the vehicle dynamics, the
speeds of your vehicle and the one in front, the
environmental conditions and the operation of
the vehicle (cornering, actions on the pedals,
etc.) to trigger the alert at the best moment.
Level
1 (orange colour) : visual
alert only, signalling that the vehicle
in front is very close.
The message " Vehicle close" is
displayed.
Driving

173
Level 2 (red colour): v isual and
audible alert, signalling that a
collision is imminent.
The message " Brake!" is displayed.
Where the speed of your vehicle is too
high approaching another vehicle, the first
level of alert may not be displayed: the
level 2 alert may be displayed directly.
Important: the level
1 alert is never
displayed for a stationary obstacle or
when the " Close" trigger threshold has
been selected.
Modifying the alert trigger
threshold
This threshold determines how you wish
to be warned of the presence of a moving
or stationary vehicle in front of you, or a
pedestrian present in your traffic lane.
The current threshold can be
modified in the vehicle configuration
menu using the audio system or the
touch screen.
You can select one of three pre-defined
thresholds:
-
"Distant ",
-
"Normal ", -
"
Close ".
The last threshold selected is memorised when
the ignition is switched off.
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to avoid
a collision, this system will supplement the
braking, within the limits of the laws of physics.
This assistance will only be provided if you
press the brake pedal.
Active Safety Brake
Operation
The system operates under the following
conditions:
-

T
he vehicle's speed does not exceed
37 mph (60
km/h) when a pedestrian is
detected.
-

T
he vehicle's speed does not exceed 50
mph (80
km/h) when a stationary vehicle is
detected.
-

T
he vehicle's speed is between 3 mph
and 53
mph (5 km/h and 85 km/h) when a
moving vehicle is detected.
This warning lamp flashes (for about
10
seconds) once the function is
acting on the vehicle's brakes.
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.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of
automatic emergency braking until the vehicle
comes to a complete stop, the engine may stall. This function, also called automatic emergency
braking, inter venes following the alerts if the
driver does not react quickly enough and does
not operate the vehicle's brakes.
It aims to reduce the speed of impact or avoid a
frontal collision by your vehicle where the driver
fails to react.
6
Driving

174
The driver can maintain control of the
vehicle at any time by sharply turning
the steering wheel and/or pressing the
accelerator pedal.
Operation of the function 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.
Deactivation/Activation
By default, the system is automatically
activated at every engine start.This system can be deactivated
or activated via the vehicle
configuration menu.
Deactivation of the system is
signalled by the illumination of this
indicator lamp, accompanied by the
display of a message.
Malfunction
In the event of a fault with the system,
you are alerted by the continuous
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal.
If these warning lamps come
on after the engine has been
switched off and restarted, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked.
Lane departure warning
system
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
System that uses a camera to recognise
continuous or broken lines on traffic lanes and
triggers an alert if the vehicle wanders off line.
If the direction indicator is not activated at a
speed of over 50 mph (80
km/h) and there is a
risk of one of these lines on the ground being
crossed, the system triggers the alert.
Detection - Alert
You are alerted by the flashing of
this warning lamp in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an audible
signal.
No warning is transmitted while the
direction indicator is active and for
approximately 20 seconds after the
direction indicator is switched off.

Fatigue detection system
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids
.
Take a break as soon as you feel tired or at
least every two hours.
Depending on version, the function comprises
either the "Driver Attention Warning" system
alone or combined with the "Driver Attention
Alert" system.
Activation/Deactivation
Activation or deactivation is done in
the vehicle configuration menu.
Coffee Break Alert
The system triggers an alert as soon
as it detects that the driver has not
taken a break after two hours of
driving at a speed above 40 mph
(65


km/h).
This alert is issued via the display of a
message encouraging you to take a break,
accompanied by an audible signal.
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 opened.
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).
Driver’s Attention Warning
Depending on version, the "Coffee Break Alert"
system is combined with the "Driver’s Attention
Warning" system.
6
Driving

176
Using a camera placed at the top
of the windscreen, the system
assesses the driver's level of
vigilance by identifying variations
in trajectory compared to the lane
markings.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 40 mph (65
km/h)).
When the system interprets the behaviour of
the vehicle as indicating a certain threshold of
driver fatigue or inattention, 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 further alert with the message " Dangerous
driving: 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
from working:
-
l

ane markings absent, worn, hidden
(snow, mud) or multiple (roadworks),
-

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

r
oads that are narrow, winding, etc.
Blind Spot Detection
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
This system warns the driver of the presence of
another vehicle (car, lorry, bicycle) in the blind
spots of their vehicle (areas hidden from the
driver's field of vision), as soon as this presents
a potential danger. The alert is given by a fixed warning lamp
which appears in the door mirror on the side in
question:
-
i

mmediately, when being overtaken,
-
a
fter a delay of about one second, when
overtaking a vehicle slowly.
Operation
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.
The alert is given by an orange warning lamp
coming on in the relevant door mirror, as soon
as a vehicle - car, lorry, bicycle - is detected.
The following conditions must be met for this:
-

a
ll vehicles are moving in the same direction
and in adjacent lanes,
-

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

Parking sensors
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear, as confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear. Using sensors located in the bumper, this
function warns of the proximity of obstacles
(e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) entering
their field of detection.
Audible assistance
The function signals the presence of obstacles
present within the sensors’ detection zone.
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than about thirty
centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)
allows you to identify the side on which the
obstacle is located.
Visual assistance
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towbar approved by
CITROËN.
