The display of the deactivation message is accompanied by an audible signal.
When the active cruise control is automatically paused, it can only be reactivated when safe conditions are restored. The message "Activation not possible, conditions unsuitable" is displayed while reactivation is not possible. When the conditions allow, it is recommended that the function be reactivated by pressing button 2 or 3, which will make the current speed of your vehicle the new cruise speed setting, rather than by pressing button 4 (on/pause) which reactivates the cruise control using the old cruise speed setting, which may be very different from the current speed of your vehicle.
168
Driving Limits of operation The active cruise control uses only engine braking to slow the vehicle. Consequently the vehicle looses speed slowly, as when releasing the accelerator pedal. The system is paused automatically: -
if the vehicle in front slows down to much or too suddenly, and the driver does not brake, if a vehicle comes between your vehicle and the vehicle in front, if the system does not slow the vehicle enough to continue to maintain a safe distance, for example when descending a steep hill.
-
-
The regulation range is limited to a maximum difference of 20 mph (30 km/h) between the speed setting and the speed of the vehicle ahead. Above this, the system goes into pause if a safe distance is not maintained.
Severe weather conditions (very heavy rain, accumulations of snow in front of the radar) can interfere with the operation of the system, resulting in the display of the message "SYSTEM INACTIVE: Visibility reduced". The function remains unavailable until the message disappears.
As the radar's field of view is quite narrow, it is possible that the system may not detect:
vehicles of reduced width, such as motorcycles, for example,
-
vehicles not running in the middle of the lane,
- -
vehicles entering a corner, vehicles changing lane at the last moment.
The cruise control does not take account of: -
stationary vehicles, vehicles driving in the opposite direction.
169
4Driving Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the active cruise control, you are alerted by an audible signal and display of the message message "Driving aid functions fault". Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
-
170
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 the cruise control is working, take care if making a maintained press on one of the cruise control programmed speed modification buttons: this can lead to a very quick change in the speed of your vehicle. do not use the active cruise control on slippery surfaces or in heavy traffic. When descending a steep hill, the cruise control may not be able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed. When ascending a steep hill or when towing, it might not be possible to attain or maintain the programmed speed. The use of mats not approved by CITROËN may interfere with the operation of the cruise control. To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals: -
ensure that mats are secured correctly, never fit one mat on top of another.
Driving Collision risk alert
System providing a warning to the driver that their vehicle is at risk of collision with the vehicle in front.
The collision risk alert system can be activated or deactivated by the driver. From the secondary page of the "Driving assistance" menu: F select the "Vehicle settings" menu, F check the "Collision risk alert" line and
confirm.
This function can be deactivated permanently by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
- -
This system operates from 20 mph (30 km/h), only when other vehicles are running in the same direction as your vehicle; the system does not detect stationary objects. A radar is fitted at the front of the vehicle.
This system has been designed to improve driving safety. It is the responsibility of the driver to keep a constant check on the state of the traffic, to assess the relative speed and distance of other vehicles. The collision risk alert system can never replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Setting the thresholds for the alert The alert thresholds determine how you want to be alerted to the presence of a vehicle running in front of you. You can choose from three thresholds: -
1: "Distant", to be given an early alert (cautious driving). 2: "Normal". 3: "Close", to be given a later alert (sporty driving).
From the secondary page of the "Driving assistance" menu: F select the "Vehicle settings" menu, F check the "Collision risk alert" line, F press on the magnifying glass, F modify the alert threshold and press on "Finish" to memorise the threshold and leave the menu.
171
4Driving Alerts According to the collision risk detected by the system and the alert threshold chosen, three levels of alert can be triggered.
Level 1: visual alert only (orange) indicating 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 one in front.
Level 2: visual (red) and audible alerts indicating that a collision is imminent. The message "Brake!" is displayed.
This level of alert is based on a time before collision. It takes account of the vehicle dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the speed of the vehicle in front, the driving conditions, the situation with your vehicle (cornering, pedals pressed, etc.) to trigger the alert at the right moment.
172
Level 3: an increase in the tension of the driver's seat belt, to hold the driver against the backrest of their seat.
The change from one level of alert to the next takes place if the driving conditions do not change (speed unchanged, no change of lane...)
The 3rd level of alert is not triggered or is interrupted in the event of an impact between the two vehicles. The increase in the tension of the driver's seat belt is intended only as an alert: it does not in any circumstances assure the function of driver safety. The triggering of this alert does not act on the safety functions provided by the seat belts.
If the speed of your vehicle is too high when approaching another vehicle, the first level of alert may not be displayed: the level 2 alert may be displayed directly. on the other hand, the level 1 alert is never displayed with the triggering threshold 3 (close).
Severe weather conditions (very heavy rain, accumulation of snow in front of the radar) may interfere with the operation of the system, resulting in the display of the message "System inactive: Reduced visibility". The system remains unavailable until the message disappears.
Driving Operating fault
In the event of a fault, you are alerted by the display of the Service warning lamp, accompanied by a message. Consult 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.

4Driving Lane departure warning system
Activation / deactivation
Operating fault
activation and deactivation of the function is done in the touch screen tablet.
In the Driving assistance menu, press this button; its indicator lamp comes on.
The function is activated.
F Press this button again; its
indicator lamp goes off. The function is deactivated.
The status of the system remains in the memory when the ignition is switched off.
Detection - alert The driver is alerted by vibration of the seat belt (at the level of the reel). No warning is transmitted while the direction indicator is active and for approximately 20 seconds after the direction indicator is switched off.
System which, using a camera which recognises solid or broken lines, detects the involuntary crossing of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the ground. To provide safe driving, the camera analyses the image then, if the driver's attention drops, triggers a warning if the vehicle drifts over a lane marking (speed higher than 50 mph (80 km/h)). This system is particularly useful on motorways and main roads.
The lane departure warning system cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need for vigilance and responsibility on the part of the driver.
It is necessary to observe the driving regulations and to take a break every two hours.
174
In the event of a fault, the symbol for the button changes to alert mode and the warning lamp flashes for a few moments then goes off.
Contact a CITRoËn dealer or a qualified workshop.
The detection may be impeded: -
if the markings on the ground are worn, if there is little contrast between the markings on the ground and the road surface, if the windscreen is dirty, in certain severe weather conditions: fog, heavy rain, snow, bright sunlight or direct exposure to the sun (low sun, leaving a tunnel, ...) and shade.
Driving blind spot sensors
This driving assistance system warns the driver of the presence of another vehicle in the blind spot angle of their vehicle (areas masked from the driver's field of vision), as soon as this presents a potential danger.
A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on the side in question: -
immediately, when being overtaken, after a delay of about one second, when overtaking a vehicle slowly.
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 asses the distances and relative speeds of other vehicles and to predict their movements before deciding whether to change lane. The blind spot sensor system can never replace the vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
Operation activation of the function is done in the touch screen tablet.
In the Driving assistance menu, press this button; its indicator lamp comes on.
The function is activated. This indicator lamp comes on in the instrument panel.
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers monitor the blind spots.
175
4Driving 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: -
all the vehicles must be moving in the same direction and in adjacent lanes, the speed of your vehicle is between 7 and 87 mph (12 and 140 km/h), you overtake a vehicle with a speed difference of less than 6 mph (10 km/h), a vehicle overtakes you with a speed difference of less than 15 mph (25 km/h), the traffic must be flowing normally, in the case of an overtaking manoeuvre, if this is prolonged and the vehicle being overtaken remains in the blind spot, you are driving on a straight or slightly curved road, your vehicle is not pulling a trailer, a caravan...
-
-
- -
-
-
176
No alert will be given in the following situations: -
in the presence of non-moving objects (parked vehicles, barriers, street lamps, road signs...),
- with vehicles moving in the opposite
-
direction, driving on a sinuous road or a sharp corner,
- when overtaking (or being overtaken by) a very long vehicle (lorry, coach...) which is at the same time detected at the rear in the blind spot angle and present in the driver's forward field of vision, in very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in front and behind are confused with a lorry or a stationary object,
-
- when overtaking quickly.
Driving F To deactivate the system, press
this button again; its indicator lamp goes off as well as the associated indicator in the instrument panel.
The state of the system remains in memory on switching off the ignition.
The system is automatically deactivated when towing with a towbar approved by CITROËN.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault, the symbol for the button changes to alert mode and the warning lamp flashes for a few moments then goes off.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
The system may suffer temporary interference in certain weather conditions (rain, hail...). In particular, driving on a wet surface 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.
177
4Driving Parking sensors
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse gear. This is confirmed by an audible signal. The system is switched off when you come out of reverse gear.
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 function cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the vigilance of the driver.
178
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 or the instrument panel which move progressively nearer to the vehicle. When the obstacle is near, the "Danger" symbol is displayed.
Driving Front parking sensors
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 forward gear, if no further obstacles are detected or when the speed of the vehicle exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) indicates whether the obstacle is in front or behind.
Deactivation / Activation of the front and rear parking sensors The parking sensors can be deactivated in the touch screen tablet. F Select the "Driving assistance" menu.
F Press on "Parking sensors".
The indicator lamp in the button comes on.
Pressing this button again reactivates the system. The indicator lamp goes off.
The system will be deactivated automatically if a trailer is being towed or a bicycle carrier is fitted on a towbar (vehicle fitted with a towbar installed in line with the manufacturer's recommendations).
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the system, when reverse gear is engaged the symbol for the button changes to alert mode and the warning lamp flashes for a few moments then stays on continuously.
A message appears, accompanied by an audible signal (short beep). Contact a CITRoËn dealer or a qualified workshop.
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.
The parking sensors are deactivated while the Park Assist system is measuring a space. See the "Park Assist" section.
High pressure jet wash When washing your vehicle, do not direct the lance within 30 cm of the sensors.
179
4Driving Reversing camera
The reversing camera is activated automatically when reverse gear is engaged. Depending on version, the image is displayed in the touch screen tablet or the instrument panel.
The reversing camera function may be completed with parking sensors.
The reversing camera cannot in any circumstances be a substitute for vigilance on the part of the driver.
High pressure jet washing When washing your vehicle, do not direct the lance within 30 cm of the camera lens.
180
The superimposed representation of guide lines helps with the manoeuvre.
They are represented by lines marked "on the ground" and do not allow the position of the vehicle to be determined relative to tall obstacles (for example: other vehicles, ...). Some deformation of the image is normal.
The blue lines represent the general direction of the vehicle (the difference corresponds to the width of your vehicle without the mirrors). The red lines represent a distance of about 30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear bumper. The green lines represent distances of about 1 and 2 metres beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear bumper. The turquoise blue curves represent the maximum turning circle.
Opening the tailgate causes the display to disappear.
Clean the reversing camera regularly using a soft, dry cloth.
Driving 360 Vision
This system provides a view in the instrument panel of the near surroundings of your vehicle, using cameras mounted at the front and rear of your vehicle and under the door mirrors. Depending on the angle of view chosen (front view, rear view or 360° panoramic view), 360 Vision provides special visual assistance in particular driving conditions such as when entering a blind crossing or manoeuvring in areas of reduced visibility. once activated, this function operates up to 9 mph (15 km/h). Above 18 mph (30 km/h), the function is deactivated automatically.
This system is a visual aid which in no circumstances can replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver. The images provided by the cameras may be deformed by the relief. The presence of areas in shade, in sunny conditions, or of low ambient light may darken the image and reduce contrast.
Forward vision The camera located in the front bumper is activated and views of the areas located at front left and front right appear simultaneously in the instrument panel.
Rear vision The camera located in the tailgate is activated and the view of the area behind your vehicle is displayed in the instrument panel and behaves like a reversing camera, whatever the position of the gear selector lever. The blue lines represent the width of your vehicle (excluding mirrors): they move according to the position of the steering wheel. The red line represents a distance of 30 cm from the rear bumper, and the two green lines, 1 m and 2 m from the rear bumper, respectively.
Rear vision is displayed automatically when engaging reverse, regardless of the state of the system.
181
4Driving 360 vision The cameras located in the front and rear bumpers and under the door mirrors are activated and a reconstruction of the view from above your vehicle in its immediate surroundings is displayed in the instrument panel.
Opening a door or the tailgate disturbs the 360 and rear views. Fitting the very cold conditions screen affects the image transmitted by the front camera.

Driving Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with parking, detecting a parking space then controlling the steering to park in the space. It controls the steering while the driver manages the accelerator, brakes, gears and clutch (manual gearbox). During phases of entry into and exit from a parking space, the system provides visual and audible information to the driver in order to make the manoeuvres safe. It may be necessary to move forwards and backwards more than once.
The driver can take control at any time by gripping the steering wheel.
The Park Assist system cannot in any circumstances replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver. The driver must remain in control of their vehicle ensuring that the space remains clear throughout the manoeuvre. In some circumstances, the sensors may not detect small obstacles located in their blind spots.
The Park Assist system provides assistance for the following manoeuvres:
A. entry into a parallel parking space
B. exit from a parallel parking space
The Park Assist system cannot work with the engine off.
C. bay parking
During a manoeuvre the steering wheel turns quickly: do not hold the steering wheel, do not place your hand between the spokes of the steering wheel and take care with loose and bulky clothing, scarves, handbags... There is a risk of injury.
When Park Assist is activated, it prevents a change to STOP mode of Stop & Start. In STOP mode, activation of Park Assist restarts the engine.
The Park Assist system takes control of the power steering for a maximum of 4 manoeuvre cycles. The function is deactivated after these 4 cycles. If you think that your vehicle is not positioned correctly, you should then take control of the steering to carry out the manoeuvre.
183
4Driving The sequence of manoeuvres and the driving instructions are displayed in the instrument panel.
You should always check the surroundings of your vehicle before starting a manoeuvre.
The assistance is activated: the display of this symbol and a speed limit indicate that the steering manoeuvres are controlled by the system: do not touch the steering wheel.
The assistance is deactivated: the display of this symbol indicates that the steering manoeuvres are no longer controlled by the system: you must take control of the steering.
The park sensors function is not available during parking space measurement. It intervenes later when manoeuvring to warn you that your vehicle is approaching an obstacle: the audible signal becomes continuous when the obstacle is less than thirty centimetres away. If you have deactivated the parking sensors, they are automatically reactivated during assisted parking manoeuvres.
Activation of Park Assist inhibits the blind spot monitoring function.

Warning triangle
This safety device should be used in addition to the hazard warning lamps. Its presence in the vehicle is mandatory.
This system allows you to make an emergency or assistance call to the emergency services or to the dedicated CITROËN service.
For more information on the use of this function, refer to the "Audio and telematics" section.
212
A location for stowing the warning triangle is provided in the tailgate interior trim.
Before leaving your vehicle to set up and install the triangle, switch on the hazard warning lamps and put on your high visibility vest.

Placing the triangle in the road F Place the triangle behind the vehicle, as required by the legislation in force in your country.
Safety Under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving. The system monitors the pressures in the four tyres, once the vehicle is moving. It compares the information given by the four wheel speed sensors with reference values, which must be reinitialised every time the tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed. The system triggers an alert as soon as it detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one or more tyres.
The under-inflation detection system does not replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver. This system does not avoid the need to check the tyre pressures (including the spare wheel) every month as well as before a long journey. Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs road holding, extends braking distances and causes premature tyre wear, particularly under arduous condition (high loading, high speed, long journey).
The inflation pressures defined for your vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure label. See the "Identification markings" section. Tyre pressures should be checked when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate speeds). Otherwise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to the pressures shown on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyres increases fuel consumption.
213
6Safety Under-inflation alert
This is given by fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and, depending on equipment, the display of a message.
F Reduce speed immediately, avoid
excessive steering movements and sudden braking.
F Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe
to do so.
The loss of pressure detected does not always cause visible bulging of the tyre. Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual check.
or F
or F
In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel (depending on equipment),
if you have a compressor, such as the one in the temporary puncture repair kit, check the pressures of the four tyres when cold,
if it is not possible to make this check immediately, drive carefully at reduced speed.
The alert is maintained until the system is reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
It is necessary to reinitialise the system every time one or more tyre pressure is adjusted, and after changing one or more wheels. A label attached to the middle pillar, driver's side, gives a reminder of this.
214
Safety Before reinitialising the system, ensure that the pressures of the four tyres are correct for the use of the vehicle and in line with the recommendations on the tyre pressure label. The under-inflation detection system does not give a warning if a pressure is incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
Snow chains The system does not have to be reinitialised after fitting or removing snow chains.
Operating fault
Reinitialisation of the system is done in the the touch screen tablet, with the ignition on and the vehicle stationary. F Select the "Driving assistance" menu.
F
In the secondary page, press "Under-inflation initialisation".
F Confirm the instruction by pressing "Yes", an audible signal and a message confirm the reinitialisation.
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the under-inflation warning lamp accompanied by illumination of the "service" warning lamp indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the tyres is no longer assured. Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
The new pressure settings registered are considered to be reference values by the system.
Before doing anything to the system, the pressures of the four tyres must be checked and the system reinitialised.
The under-inflation alert can only be relied on if reinitialisation of the system is done with the the four tyre pressures correctly set.

6Safety Electronic stability control (ESC)
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) incorporating the following systems: -
anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the electronic brake force distribution (EBFD), emergency braking assistance (EBA),
- - wheel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction
control, dynamic stability control (DSC).
-
216
Definitions Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBFD) This system improves the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking and contributes towards improved control in corners, in particular on poor or slippery road surfaces. The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of emergency braking. The electronic brake force distribution system manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance (EBA) In an emergency, this system enables you to reach the optimum braking pressure more quickly and therefore reduce the stopping distance. It is triggered according to the speed at which the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) The ASR system (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction in order to limit wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels and on the engine. It also improves the directional stability of the vehicle on
