Modification of the inter-vehicle distance setting
Three predefined inter-vehicle distance settings 
are offered:
- 
"
 Distant"  (3 dashes),
-
 
"
 Normal"  (2 dashes),
-
 
"
 Close"  (1 dash). Engine running and cruise control selected 
(grey), you can modify the inter-vehicle 
distance setting:
F
 
p
 ress button 6 to display the selection 
screen for inter-vehicle distance,
F  
p
 ress button 6 repeatedly to cycle through 
the predefined settings.
The selection screen closes after a 
few   seconds.
The modification is then taken into account.
This setting remains in memory, whatever the 
state of the system and when the ignition is 
switched off.
It is possible to exceed the speed setting 
temporarily by depressing the accelerator 
pedal.
The cruise control no longer manages the 
braking system during this period.
Simply release the accelerator pedal to return 
to the programmed speed.
If the programmed speed setting is exceeded, 
the display of the speed setting disappears 
and a message "Cruise control suspended" 
is displayed until the accelerator pedal is 
released.

vehicle"
The driver should take control of the vehicle by accelerating or 
braking, depending on the circumstances.
+ "Take back control of the 
vehicle"
The system cannot manage the critical situation alone 
(emergency braking of the target vehicle, rapid insertion of 
another vehicle between the two vehicles).
The driver must immediately take back control of the 
vehicle.
or "Activation not possible, 
conditions unsuitable"
The system refuses to activate the cruise control (speed outside 
the operating range, winding road).

Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the cruise 
control, you are alerted by the 
illumination of this warning lamp 
and the display of a message in the 
instrument panel, accompanied by an 
audible signal.
The cruise control operates by day and at night, in fog or moderate rainfall.
However, it is strongly recommended that you always keep a safe distance from vehicles 
ahead, depending on the driving conditions, the weather and the road sur face.
Use the cruise control only where the driving conditions allow running at a constant speed 
and at an adequate safe distance.
Do not use the cruise control in urban areas, heavy traffic, on winding or steep roads, on 
slippery or flooded sur faces, in snow, if the front bumper is damaged or if the brake lamps 
are faulty.
In certain circumstances, it may not be possible for the speed setting to be maintained or 
even attained: loaded vehicle, ascending a steep hill, etc.
The system is not intended for the following situations:
-
 
t
he front end of the vehicle has been modified (addition of driving lamps, paint on the 
bumper),
-
 
d
riving on a racing circuit,
-
 
r
unning on a rolling road,
-
 
u
se of snow chains, non-slip covers or studded tyres. Have the system checked by a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
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 into standby.
Clean the front bumper regularly.
When painting or touching up the paint on the front bumper, consult a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop. Certain types of paint could hinder the operation of the radar. 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:
-
 
e
nsure that mats are secured correctly,
-
 
n
ever fit one mat on top of another.

Limits of operation
In the following cases, it is recommended 
that the system be deactivated in the vehicle 
configuration menu:
- 
w
 hen towing a trailer or caravan,
-
 
w
 hen carrying long objects on roof bars or 
a roof rack,
-
 
b
 efore using an automatic car wash, with 
the engine running,
-
 
b
 efore placing the vehicle on a rolling road 
in a workshop,
-
 
w
 hen the vehicle is being towed, with the 
engine running,
-
 
w
 hen a "space-saver" type spare wheel is 
fitted (depending on version),
-
 
f
 ollowing impact damage to the windscreen 
close to the detection camera,
-
 
i
 f the front bumper has been damaged,
-
 
i
 f the brake lamps are not working.Because of limits in the operation of the 
system, it is possible that warnings are 
not given, are given too late or seem 
unjustified.
Consequently, the driver must always 
remain attentive and able to react at any 
time to avoid an accident. 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 
di r e c t l y.
Important
: the level 1 alert is never 
displayed if the " Close" threshold has 
been selected.
Collision Risk Alert
Depending on the degree of risk of collision 
detected by the system and the alert threshold 
chosen by the driver, different levels of alert can be 
triggered and displayed in the instrument panel.
Level 1: visual alert only, signalling 
to you that the vehicle in front is very 
close.
The message " Vehicle close" is 
displayed.
This level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle 
time between your vehicle and the vehicle in 
front.
Level 2: visual and audible alert, 
warning you that a collision is 
imminent.
The message " Brake!" is displayed.
This level of alert is based on the time before 
collision. It takes account of the vehicle 
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the 
one in front, the environmental conditions, the 
operation of the vehicle (cornering, pedals 
pressed, etc.) to trigger the alert at the best 
moment.
Modifying the alert trigger 
threshold
This threshold determines how you wish to be 
warned of the presence of a vehicle moving 
or stationary in front of you, or a pedestrian 
present in your traffic lane.
The current threshold can be modified only  via 
the Driving  menu in the touch screen.
You can select one of three thresholds:
-
  "Distant ",
-
  "Normal ",
-
  "Close ".
The last threshold selected is kept in memory 
when the ignition is switched off.

the bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this 
could mask the camera's view.
Clean the front bumper, removing mud, 
snow, ... There may be inter ference in the 
operation of the camera or it may not 
work at all in the following situations:
-
 
p
 oor visibility (inadequate street 
lighting, falling snow, heavy rain, 
dense fog, ...),

 amera or radar masked (mud, 
frost, snow, ...).
In these situations, detection 
per formance may be reduced.
Check that the sensors (camera and radar) are 
not covered by dirt, mud, frost, snow...
If the problem persists, contact a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
