The system refuses to activate cruise control, as

the necessary conditions are not fulfilled.

Stop & Go function

The system has brought the

vehicle to a complete stop.

(green)/(green)

Within 3 seconds of stopping, the vehicle

gradually and automatically begins moving

again.

Beyond 3 seconds of stopping, the driver must

accelerate or press

2-I I>

to move off.

If the driver takes no action after the

vehicle has been stopped, the electric

parking brake is applied automatically after

about 5 minutes.

While the vehicle is immobilised, the

following recommendations apply:

– The driver should not leave the vehicle.

– Do not open the boot.

– Do not drop off or pick up passengers.

– Do not engage reverse gear.

When restarting the vehicle, beware of

cyclists, pedestrians or animals who are

not taken into account by the system.

The driver must monitor their surroundings.

Operating limits

Cruise control operates by day and night, in dry

weather or moderate rainfall.

Certain situations cannot be managed by the

system and require driver intervention.

Cases not taken into account by the system:

– Pedestrians, cyclists, animals.

– Stationary vehicles (e.g. traffic jams,

breakdown).

– Vehicles crossing your lane.

– Vehicles driving in the opposite direction.

Situations where the driver must suspend the

system:

– Vehicles in a tight bend.

– When approaching a roundabout.

– When following a narrow vehicle.

Reactivate the system when conditions allow.

Situations in which the driver is prompted to

immediately resume control:

– Excessively sharp deceleration by the vehicle

in front of you.

– When a vehicle cuts in sharply between your

vehicle and the one in front.

Some vehicles on the road may be

poorly perceived or interpreted by the

camera and/or the radar (e.g. truck), which

can lead to an incorrect evaluation of

distances and result in inappropriate

acceleration or braking of the vehicle.

Pay particular attention:

– When motorcycles are present and

when there are vehicles staggered across the

traffic lane.

116

Driving

– When entering a tunnel or crossing a

bridge.

If any of the following malfunctions

occurs, do not use the system:

– Following an impact on the windscreen

close to the camera or on the front bumper.

– In case of a brake lamp failure.

If the vehicle has undergone any of the

following modifications, do not use the

system:

– Carrying long objects on roof bars.

– Towing.

– Front end of the vehicle modified (for

example by adding long-range headlamps or

painting the front bumper).

– Obstructed radar.

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction, dashes are

displayed (orange) instead of the speed setting.

This warning lamp comes on,

accompanied by a message and an

audible signal, to confirm the malfunction.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop.

Lane positioning assist

For more information, refer to the

General recommendations on the use

of driving and manoeuvring aids

.

The system identifies the limits of the traffic

lane and steers the vehicle inside this lane to

maintain it in the lateral position chosen by the

driver.

To do this, the system uses a camera placed on

the upper part of the windscreen.

This function is primarily suitable for driving on

motorways and main roads.

Activation/Deactivation

Lane positioning assist is automatically activated,

after selecting Highway Driver Assist mode.

For more information on

Highway Driver Assist

,

refer to the corresponding section.

The selection is confirmed by the display of the

symbols on the instrument panel, representing

the steering wheel and the side lines.

The colour of the symbols depends on the

operating state of the system:

(grey)

One or more operating conditions is not met; the

system is paused.

(green)

All operating conditions are met; the

system is active.

(orange)

System malfunction.

If the driver no longer wishes to use the system

for some time, they can deactivate it by pressing

the

ASSIST

button again (confirmed by the

disappearance of the Driving aids mini-view on

the instrument panel).

The system status is saved when the

ignition is switched off.

Operating conditions

– Adaptive cruise control active.

– ESC system operational.

– ASR system activated.

– No trailer detected.

– No 'space-saver' spare wheel in use.

– Vehicle not subject to strong lateral g-forces.

– Direction indicators off upon activation of the

system.

Cruise control

The driver must hold the steering wheel properly.

When cruise control is activated, the symbols are

displayed in green: with small steering inputs,

the system steers the vehicle and keeps it in the

position chosen by the driver in the traffic lane.

117

Driving

6

This position is not necessarily the centre of the

lane.

You can feel the steering wheel moving.

At any time, the driver can change the position of

the vehicle by intervening on the steering wheel

and maintaining the position until the system has

taken it into account. If the chosen position is too

off-centre, an automatic re-centering manoeuvre

can occur. The system adjusts to the newly

defined position.

Pausing/Suspending the

system

The driver must act promptly if they

believe that the traffic conditions or the

state of the road surface require their

intervention, by moving the steering wheel to

temporarily suspend system operation. Any

intervention on the brake pedal that causes

the Adaptive cruise control to pause will also

cause the system to pause.

If the system detects that the driver is not

holding the wheel firmly enough, it

triggers a series of gradual alerts and then

deactivates itself if there is no response from

the driver.

If the function is suspended due to the

prolonged release of the force holding

the steering wheel, the system must be

reactivated by pressing the

ASSIST

button

again.

Automatic pause

Pausing the system is accompanied by a specific

audible signal.

– Triggering of the ESC.

– Insufficient lane detection. In this case, the

Active lane departure warning system function

can take over, and the system will reactivate

itself once the operating conditions are met

again.

Suspension by the driver

– Travelling outside the lane limits.

– Too tight a grip on the steering wheel or

dynamic action on the steering wheel.

– Action on the brake pedal (resulting in a pause

until cruise control is reactivated) or accelerator

pedal (suspension for as long as the pedal is

depressed).

– Pausing of Adaptive cruise control.

– Deactivation of the ASR.

vehicle is travelling on a long, straight

road with smooth road surface even if the

driver thinks they are holding the steering

wheel correctly.

The system may not operate or may produce

unsuitable corrections to the steering in the

following situations:

– Wearing thick gloves (with Highway Driver

Assist 2.0).

– Poor visibility (insufficient road lighting,

snowfall, rain, fog).

– Dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming vehicle,

low sun, reflections on a wet road surface,

leaving a tunnel, alternating light and shade).

damaged or covered by a sticker.

– Lane markings eroded, partially hidden (snow,

mud) or multiple (roadworks, surface joints).

– Travelling in a tight bend.

– Winding roads.

– Road surface repairs.

Risk of undesirable operation

The system should be deactivated in the

following situations:

– When changing a wheel or working near a

wheel.

– Towing or with a bicycle carrier on a towing

device, especially with trailer not plugged in or

not approved.

– Adverse weather conditions.

– Road with low grip (risk of aquaplaning,

snow, ice).

– Road works and toll areas.

– Driving on racing circuits.

– Driving on a rolling road.

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction, the

Service warning lamp comes on

and this (orange) symbol appears on the

instrument panel, accompanied by the display of

a message and an audible signal.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a

Speed adjustment during

cornering

(with Highway Driver Assist 2.0)

For more information, refer to the

General recommendations on the use

of driving and manoeuvring aids

and the

Cruise control - particular

recommendations

.

In addition to Adaptive Cruise Control with

Stop&Go and Lane positioning assist systems,

this system regulates the speed of the vehicle in

bends.

It adapts the speed, with or without target

vehicle, in certain bends on motorways or main

roads.

The speed is only adjusted if the vehicle speed is

not compatible with the angle of the bend.

The reduction in speed on a bend is adapted

to the situation in order to ensure the bend is

navigated comfortably.

In the presence of a target vehicle, it also

maintains the inter-vehicle distance.

This system does not manage bends that

are too tight ("hairpin bend" for example).

120

Driving

Operating conditions

– Eligible roads: roads with separate

carriageways with prohibited access for

pedestrians and cyclists.

– Highway Driver Assist 2.0 activated.

– Vehicle speed between 43 and 112 mph (70

and 180 km/h).

Operation

The vehicle is moving at the

speed setting and is monitoring

bends.

The system gradually decreases

the speed in the bend to

negotiate it comfortably.

Temporary driver intervention

If the driver believes that the speed is too slow or

too fast, they can act on the pedals.

Pressing the brake pedal deactivates Highway

Driver Assist 2.0, while pressing the accelerator

pedal temporarily suspends it.

Semi-automatic lane

changing

(with Highway Driver Assist 2.0)

For more information, refer to the

General recommendations on the use

of driving and manoeuvring aids

.

This system assists the driver in changing lanes.

To do this, it uses the camera located at the top

of the windscreen, the radar located at the front

and the four angle radars fitted in the bumpers.

The steering wheel is equipped with a

hands-on detection system to avoid

distraction on the part of the driver.

For more information on the

Hands-on

detection

, refer to the corresponding section.

The system cannot in any circumstances

replace the need for vigilance on the part

of the driver. The driver remains responsible

for their driving by monitoring their

surroundings and keeping their hands on the

steering wheel.

The driver must act promptly if they believe

that the traffic conditions or the state of the

road surface require their intervention, by

moving the steering wheel to temporarily

suspend system operation.

Any intervention on the brake pedal or the

accelerator pedal that causes the adaptive

cruise control to be paused or suspended will

also cause the system to deactivate.

System selection

Two possibilities:

– Either, when the vehicle is already driving on

an eligible road, the driver selects the system via

the Highway Driver Assist 2.0 system activation.

– Or, when the driver is already using Highway

Driver Assist, the vehicle suggests selecting

the system upon arriving at an eligible road by

pressing the

OK

button.

Activation/Deactivation

► Activate the direction indicator on the side

corresponding to the lane change, whether or

not passing the resistance point of the lighting

control stalk.

The driver can regain control of the vehicle at

any time:

– by deactivating the direction indicator if the

vehicle has not yet crossed the line.

– by firmly holding the steering wheel.

121

Driving

6

– by acting on the pedals.

For more information on the

Direction

indicators

, refer to the corresponding section.

Operating conditions

– Eligible roads: roads with separate

carriageways with prohibited access for

pedestrians and cyclists.

– The line separating the lanes must be clear

enough to be identified by the system.

– The position and speed of other vehicles must

enable the system to safely change lanes.

– Highway Driver Assist 2.0 activated.

– Lane positioning assist activated.

– Vehicle speed between 43 and 112 mph (70

and 180 km/h).

Authorised lane change

request

When operating the direction indicator, if the

necessary conditions are met, the message

"

OK?

" is displayed on the instrument panel,

accompanied by an audible signal.

► After checking the surroundings, press

2-OK

to confirm the start of the lane change

manoeuvre.

The message "

Stay alert

" is displayed as a

reminder that the driver is responsible for the

manoeuvre.

The system then proceeds with the vehicle’s

lane change.

Once the manoeuvre has been carried out, the

system is automatically deactivated and the lane

positioning assist takes over.

If the direction indicator has been set beyond the

point of resistance, the driver must pull it back.

The driver must hold the steering wheel

correctly.

As soon as the semi-automatic lane change

begins, the system directs the vehicle to the

target lane by small actions on the steering to

position it in the destination lane.

You can feel the steering wheel moving.

Interruption of lane change

It is possible that during a lane change, the

necessary conditions for the functioning of the

system may no longer be met.

If this occurs before either wheel has crossed

the line between the two lanes, the system will

automatically return the vehicle to its original

lane (confirmed by displaying a manoeuvre

cancellation message on the digital instrument

panel and an audible signal). Then the system

automatically deactivates itself.

If this occurs while the lane change has begun,

the system asks the driver to immediately

regain control of the vehicle (confirmed by the

display of a message on the digital instrument

122

Driving

panel and an audible signal). Then the system

automatically deactivates itself.

Refused lane change

request

When pressing

2-OK

, if the necessary conditions

are not met, the lines appear in orange on the

instrument panel, accompanied by an audible

signal.

The system keeps the vehicle in the original

lane. The system is deactivated and the semi-

automatic lane change is not carried out.

triggers a series of progressive alerts and

then, if there is no response from the driver,

the system deactivates itself.

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction, this warning

lamp lights up on the instrument panel,

accompanied by the display of a message and

an audible signal.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop.

Active Safety Brake with

Collision Risk Alert and

Intelligent emergency

braking assistance

For more information, refer to the

General recommendations on the use

of driving and manoeuvring aids

.

This system:

– warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of

collision with the preceding vehicle, a pedestrian

or a cyclist.

– reduces the vehicle's speed to avoid a

collision or to limit its severity.

The speed will be reduced by a

maximum of 16 mph (25 km/h) (versions

with camera only) or by a maximum of 31

mph (50 km/h) (versions with camera and

radar).

The system also takes motorcyclists into

account. It may also react on animals.

Animals (especially animals smaller than

0.5 m) and objects on the road are not

necessarily detected.

This system includes three functions:

– Collision Risk Alert.

– Intelligent emergency braking assistance

(iEBA).

– Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency

braking).

The vehicle has a multifunction camera located

at the top of the windscreen and, depending on

version, a radar located in the front bumper.

This system does not replace the need

for driver vigilance.

This system is designed to assist the driver

and improve road safety.

It is the driver's responsibility to continuously

monitor traffic conditions in accordance with

applicable driving regulations.

As soon as the system detects a

potential collision, it prepares the braking

circuit. This may cause a slight noise and a

slight sensation of deceleration.

125

Driving

6

Deactivation/Activation

By default, the system is automatically activated

at every engine start.

It is configured in the

ADAS

touch screen

application.

Deactivation of the system is signalled by

the illumination of this warning lamp,

accompanied by the display of a message.

Operating conditions and

limits

Vehicle moving forward without trailer.

Brake system operational.

ASR / ESP system activated.

Seat belts fastened for all passengers.

Stabilised speed on roads with no or low

curvature.

This warning lamp lights up on the

instrument panel without any additional

message, to indicate that the “automatic braking

system” is not available. This is a normal

behavior indicating that a condition is not fulfilled

and which does not request the support of a

workshop.

In any situations with ignition on where automatic

braking presents a risk, deactivating the

system via

ADAS

touch screen application is

recommended, for instance:

– Towing a trailer (particularly a trailer without its

own braking system).

– Carrying long objects on roof bars.

– Driving with snow chains.

– Using an automatic car wash.

– Performing any maintenance (e.g. changing a

wheel, working underhood).

– Placing the vehicle on a rolling bench in a

workshop.

– Towing the vehicle.

– Following a front bumper deformation (version

with radar).

– Following an impact to the windscreen close to

the detection camera.

The system is automatically deactivated

if:

– A spare wheel with a too small diameter is

detected.

– A fault with the brake pedal switch or with

the right or left brake lamp is detected.

– A fault in the sensors, in the electronic or in

the brake system is detected.

– A trailer is detected by the equipped vehicle

hitch (with an electrical connection plug).

The system diagnoses permanently its

capability and may inhibit itself without

specific driver indication, if the system is

outside of the regular operating conditions.

Examples: sensor initialization, board voltage

out of regular range, activation of stability

system…

Therefore the system may not be available

just after starting the vehicle.

It can be dangerous to drive if the brake

lamps are not in perfect working order.

The driver must not load his vehicle

excessively (respect of MTAC values,

MTRA values and loading height on roof

bars).

Following an impact (e.g. a collision), the

system is automatically deactivated.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop.

Collision Risk Alert

This function warns the driver if there is a risk

of collision with the preceding vehicle, or with a

pedestrian or cyclist.

Modifying the alert trigger threshold

The trigger threshold determines the sensitivity

with which the function warns of the risk of

collision.

It is configured in the

ADAS

touch screen

application.

► Select one of the 3 preset thresholds: “

Far

”,

“

Medium

” or “

Near

”.

The selected threshold is memorised when the

ignition is switched off.

Operation

Depending on the collision risk detected by the

system and the alert trigger threshold chosen

126

Driving

by the driver, different levels of alert may be

triggered and displayed on the instrument panel.

The system takes into account the vehicle

dynamics, the difference speed of the own

vehicle and the object identified for the collision

risk, and the operation of the vehicle (actions on

the pedals, steering wheel, etc.) to trigger the

alert at the most relevant moment.

(orange)

Level 1

: visual alert only, warning that the

preceding vehicle is very close.

The message "

Vehicle close

" is displayed.

(red)

Level 2

: visual and audible alert, warning

that a collision is imminent.

The message "

Brake!

" is displayed.

Level 3

: a micro-braking may be given,

confirming the risk of collision (optional).

While approaching a vehicle too quickly,

the level 2 alert may be displayed

directly.

Important:

the level 1 alert depends on the

trigger threshold selected. It reacts only on

moving vehicles. It is disabled automatically

at lower speed.

It is possible that collision warnings are

not given, are given too late or seem

unjustified.

The driver must always stay in control of the

vehicle and be prepared to react at any time

to avoid an accident.

If you select “

Far

” in the

ADAS

touch

screen application, then the system

warns sooner. This increases the safety but

increases also the amount of alerts, if the

legal safety distance is not kept. To reduce

the alert occurrence, you can change the

setting to “

Medium

” or “

Near

”.

Intelligent emergency

braking assistance (iEBA)

This function increases vehicle deceleration

if the driver doesn't brake enough to avoid a

collision.

This assistance is only provided if the driver

presses the brake pedal.

Active Safety Brake

This function, also called "automatic emergency

braking", intervenes after the acoustic alert if the

driver does not operate the brake pedal quickly

enough.

The system aims at reducing the speed of

impact or avoiding a collision if the driver fails to

react.

The speed will be reduced by a

maximum of 16 mph (25 km/h) (versions

with camera only) or by a maximum of 31

mph (50 km/h) (versions with camera and

radar).

127

Driving

6

Operation

The system operates subject to the following

conditions:

– The vehicle's speed does not exceed 50

mph (80 km/h) when a pedestrian or a cyclist is

detected.

– The vehicle's speed does not exceed 50 mph

(80 km/h) when a stationary vehicle is detected.

– The vehicle's speed is between 6 mph and

53 mph (10 km/h and 85 km/h) (versions with

camera only) or 87 mph (140 km/h) (versions

with camera and radar) when a moving vehicle

is detected.

This warning lamp flashes (for

approximately 10 seconds) as soon as

the function applies the vehicle’s brakes. During

the flashing time, the function is not available.

In the event of automatic emergency braking,

keep the brake pedal depressed, also after a

complete stop is reached, to prevent the vehicle

from rolling away.

The driver can override the "automatic

emergency braking" at any time by firmly

turning the steering wheel and/or firmly

depressing the accelerator pedal.

The brake pedal may feel hard and

vibrate slightly while the function is

operating.

If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,

automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 2

seconds.

Turning scenarios

Crossing road with another vehicle

The system may operate when the vehicle is

turning and detects another vehicle, on the

adjacent lane, approaching from the opposite

direction if:

– The corresponding direction indicator is

activated.

– Then the vehicle is about to cross the path of

another vehicle.

– The vehicle speed is between 3 and 12 mph

(5 and 20 km/h).

– A collision on the side of the other vehicle is

probable.

Crossing road with a pedestrian

The system may operate when the vehicle

is turning left or right and detects a crossing

pedestrian if:

– The pedestrian is crossing in front of the

vehicle.

– The pedestrian can clearly be detected by the

sensors.

– The scenery is detectable by the sensors (e.g.

brightness, contrast vs background).

– The vehicle speed is between 3 and 15 mph

(5 and 25 km/h).

Malfunction

This warning lamp lights up on the

instrument panel with the message

"Sensor blind" in certain cases. With the variant

"camera only", the system is deactivated. With

the variant "camera and radar", the system may

continue to operate in a degraded mode. This

may be caused by a reduced visibility (rain, fog,

snow, blending by low sun…) or by a real sensor

blockage. In this case, stop the vehicle and verify

128

Driving

if the front camera or the front radar is covered

by dirt, snow, ice or anything preventing the

sensing.

In the event of a malfunction, this warning

lamp lights up on the instrument panel,

accompanied by the display of a message and

an audible signal.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop.

If these warning lamps come on

after the engine has been switched

off and then restarted, contact a CITROËN

dealer or a qualified workshop to have the

system checked.

These warning lamps light up on

the instrument panel and/or in the

warning lamp display for seat belts and front

passenger airbag to indicate that the driver's

and/or front passenger's seat belt is not fastened

(depending on version). The automatic braking

system is deactivated until the seat belts are

fastened.

Distraction detection

For more information, refer to the

General recommendations on the use

of driving and manoeuvring aids

.

The function comprises the "Coffee Break Alert"

system combined with the "Driver Attention

Warning" system.

These systems are in no way designed

to keep the driver awake or to prevent

the driver from falling asleep at the wheel.

It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling

tired.

Take a break if you are feeling tired or at least

every 2 hours.

Activation/Deactivation

By default, the function is automatically activated

at every engine start.

It is configured in the

ADAS

touch screen

application.

Coffee Break Alert

The system triggers an alert when it

detects that the driver has not taken a

break after two hours of driving at a speed above

43 mph (70 km/h).

This alert is issued via the display of a message

encouraging the driver 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:

– With the engine running, the vehicle has been

stationary for more than 15 minutes.

– The ignition has been switched off for a few

minutes.

– The driver's seat belt is unfastened and their

door is opened.

As soon as the speed of the vehicle

drops below 43 mph (70 km/h), the

system goes into standby.

Driving time starts being counted again once

the speed reaches above 43 mph (70 km/h).

Driver Attention Warning

The system assesses the driver's level of

alertness, fatigue and distraction by

identifying trajectory changes in relation to the

lane markings.

To do this, the system uses a camera, placed on

the upper part of the windscreen.

This system is particularly suited to fast roads

(speed higher than 43 mph (70 km/h)).

At a first alert level, the driver is warned by

the message "

Caution!

“, accompanied by an

audible signal.

After three first-level alerts, the system triggers

a further alert with the message "

risk: Take a break

", accompanied by a more

pronounced audible signal.

Active lane departure

warning system

For more information, refer to the

General recommendations on the use

of driving and manoeuvring aids

.

The system corrects the vehicle's trajectory by

alerting the driver as soon as it detects a risk of

involuntary lane departure or crossing of a verge

or hard shoulder (depending on version).

To do this, the system uses a camera, placed on

the upper part of the windscreen, identifying the

lane markings on the ground and the side of the

road (depending on version).

This system is particularly useful on motorways

and main roads.

Conditions for operation

– Vehicle speed between 43 and 112 mph (70

and 180 km/h).

– Road marked with a central dividing line.

– Steering wheel held in both hands.

– Direction indicators off upon activation of the

system.

– ESC system activated and operational.

The system helps the driver only if there

is a risk of the vehicle unintentionally

wandering from the lane it is being driven in. It

does not manage the safe driving distance,

vehicle speed or braking.

The driver must hold the steering wheel with

both hands so that they can maintain control

when the conditions no longer allow the

system to intervene (e.g. in the event that

the central dividing line marking on the road

surface disappears).

Operation

As soon as the system identifies a risk of

involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings

detected on the ground or a lane boundary

(e.g. grass verge), it performs the trajectory

correction necessary to restore the vehicle to its

original lane.

The driver will notice a turning movement of the

steering wheel.

This warning lamp flashes during

trajectory correction.

The driver can prevent the correction by

firmly holding the steering wheel

(e.g. during an emergency manoeuvre).

The correction is interrupted immediately if

the direction indicators are operated.

While the direction indicators are activated and

for a few seconds after switching them off, the

system considers that a change of trajectory is

intentional and no correction is triggered during

this period.
