Switching on
F To start the cruise control and set a cruise speed, once the vehicle has reached the
desired speed, press button 2 or 3 : the
current speed of your vehicle becomes the
cruise speed setting.
Y

ou can release the accelerator pedal.
Adjusting the cruise speed
setting
F Turn the wheel 1 to the "CRUISE" position
to select cruise control mode; the function
is paused. F

P
ressing button 4 interrupts operation of
the system (pause).
F P ressing button 4 again restores operation
of the cruise control (ON).
The cruise control must be activated. As a precaution, it is recommended
that the cruise speed chosen be close
to the current speed of your vehicle, so
as to avoid any sudden acceleration or
deceleration of the vehicle.
Take care: pressing and holding button 2
o r 3 results in a rapid change in the
speed of your vehicle.
To modify the cruise speed setting from the
current speed of the vehicle:
F

i
n steps of + or - 1 mph (km/h), make
repeated short presses on button 2 or 3 ,
F

c
ontinuously, in steps of + or - 5 mph
(km/h), press and hold button 2 or 3 .
To modify the cruise speed setting using
memorised speeds and from your Audio
system:
F

w

ith the system first activated (see
"Memorising speeds"),
F

m

ake a long press on button 2 or 3 , the
system displays the memorised speed
closest to the actual speed of the vehicle;
this setting becomes the new cruise speed,
F

t

o choose another memorised speed, make
another long press on button 2 or 3. To modify the cruise speed setting using
memorised speeds and from the touch screen
tablet:
F

p
ress button 5 to display the six memorised
speed settings,
F
p
ress the button for the desired speed
setting.
This setting becomes the new cruise speed.
driving

You may have to brake to control the speed of
your vehicle. In this case, the cruise control is
automatically paused.
To activate the system again, press button 4.Only use the cruise control if the traffic
conditions will allow you to drive for a
certain time at a steady speed and at a
safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
Do not activate the cruise control
in urban areas, in heavy traffic, on
winding or steep roads, on slippery
or flooded roads, or in conditions of
poor visibility (heavy rain, fog, falling
snow...).
In some circumstances, it may not
be possible to maintain or reach the
programmed speed: towing, vehicle
heavily loaded, steep climb.
Temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed
When required (overtaking manoeuvre...), it is
possible to exceed the programmed speed by
pressing the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is temporarily overridden
and the programmed speed setting flashes.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Once the vehicle has returned to the
programmed speed, the cruise control takes
over again: the display of the programmed
speed setting becomes steady again.
When descending a steep hill, the
cruise control system cannot prevent
the vehicle from exceeding the
programmed speed.
Switching off
F Turn wheel 1 to the "0" position: the cruise
control information disappears from the
screen.
Operating fault
Flashing dashes indicate a fault with the cruise
control system.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with the
operation of the cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:
-

e
nsure that the mat is positioned
c o r r e c t l y,
-

n
ever fit one mat on top of another.

221
Parking sensors
This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.)
which comes within the field of detection of
sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks
cone, etc.) detected initially will no longer be
detected at the end of the manoeuvre, if they
are located in blind spots in the sensors' field
of detection.
This system cannot in any circumstances replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
g e a r.
This is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear.
Rear parking sensors
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which
increases 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 and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars in the screen which move
progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed in the screen.
driving

Front parking sensorsOperating fault
In the event of a malfunction of
the system, when reverse gear
is engaged this warning lamp is
displayed in the instrument panel
and/or a message appears in the
screen, accompanied by an audible
signal (short beep).
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when an
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
The function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed
or a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle
fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by CITROËN).In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is
engaged, an audible signal (long beep)
indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger
the audible signals of the parking
sensor system.
deactivation/Activation of the
front and rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this
button. The indicator lamp in the button
comes
on.
Pressing this button again reactivates the
function. The indicator lamp in the button
goes
off.
The sound emitted by the speaker
(front or rear) indicates whether the
obstacle is in front or behind.

223
Reversing camera
The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
The colour image is provided in the touch
screen tablet.The blue lines represent the general direction
of the vehicle.
The blue curved lines represent the maximum
turning circle.
The green lines represent distances of around
1 to 2 metres beyond the edge of the vehicle's
rear bumper.
The red line represents the distance of around
30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
b u m p e r.
The lines displayed in the screen do not allow
the position of the vehicle to be determined
relative to tall obstacles (for example: vehicles
nearby).
Some deformation of the image is normal.High pressure jet washing
When cleaning your vehicle, keep the
end of the high pressure lance at least
30 cm from the camera lens.
Clean the camera lens regularly using
a soft cloth.
The reversing camera system may be
accompanied by parking sensors.
This system is a driving aid that does
not replace vigilance on the part of the
driver, who must remain in control of
the vehicle at all times.

Temporary puncture repair kit
This kit consists of a compressor and a sealant
cartridge.
It allows the temporary repair of a tyre.
You are then able to go to the nearest garage.
Access to the kit
The speed limit sticker I must be affixed
to the vehicle's steering wheel to
remind you that a wheel is in temporary
use.
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph
(80
km/h) when driving with a tyre
repaired using this type of kit.

Tyre under-inflation detection
If the vehicle is fitted with tyre under-
inflation detection, the under-inflation
warning lamp will remain on after the
wheel has been repaired until the
system is reinitialised by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
If after around 5 to 7 minutes the
pressure is not attained, this indicates
that the tyre is not repairable; contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop for assistance.
