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 dirt (dust, mud, etc.) or in certain weather conditions (snow, ice, etc.).
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, ...),

In the event of a fault, this warning
lamp flashes for a few moments in
the instrument panel, accompanied
by illumination of the Service warning
lamp and the display of a message.
Operating fault
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather
conditions (rain, hail, etc.).
In particular, driving on a wet sur face
or moving from a dry area to a wet area
can cause false alerts (for example, the
presence of a fog of water droplets in
the blind spot angle is interpreted as a
vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered by mud, ice
or snow.
Take care not to cover the warning zone
in the door mirrors or the detection
zones on the front and rear bumpers
with adhesive labels or other objects;
they may hamper the correct operation
of the system.
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, direct the
lance at least 30 cm away from the
sensors.In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the door
mirror on the side in question, a correction of
trajectory will be felt if you cross a lane marking
with the direction indicators on, to help you
avoid a collision.
Conditions for operation
The following systems must be activated:
-
B lind Spot Monitoring System,
-

A
ssisted Lane Departure Warning System.
Assisted Blind Spot
Monitoring System*

Fatigue detection system
It is recommended that you take a break as soon as you feel tired or at least every two hours.
Depending on version, the function either has the "Driving time warning" only, or this combined with the "Fatigue detection system".
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).
This alert takes the form of 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 cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
Do not take the wheel if you are tired.
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).
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
m

inutes,
-

t
he driver's seat belt is unfastened and
their door is open.
The system is activated or deactivated in the
touch screen tablet.
