Driving

Electric power is used to supplement the petrol

engine as long as there is energy left in the

battery.

Hill start assist

This system keeps the vehicle briefly stationary

(for approximately 2 seconds) when making a hill

start, while you transfer your foot from the brake

pedal to the accelerator pedal.

The system is only active when:

– The vehicle is completely stationary, with your

foot on the brake pedal.

– Certain slope conditions are met.

– The driver’s door is closed.

Do not leave the vehicle while it is being

held temporarily by hill start assist.

If someone needs to get out of the vehicle

with the engine running, apply the parking

brake manually. Then check that the parking

brake indicator lamp and the

P

indicator lamp

in the electric parking brake control are on

fixed.

The hill start assist function cannot be

deactivated. However, using the parking

brake to immobilise the vehicle interrupts its

operation.

Operation

Facing uphill, with the vehicle stationary,

the vehicle is held for a short time when the

driver releases the brake pedal:

– If mode

D

or

M

is selected on an automatic

gearbox.

Facing downhill, with the vehicle stationary

and reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held

for a short time when the driver releases the

brake pedal.

Malfunction

If the event of a malfunction, these

warning lamps light up on the

instrument panel, accompanied by the display of

a message.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop.

Gear shift indicator

(Depending on engine)

This system is designed to reduce fuel

consumption by recommending the most suitable

gear.

Operation

Depending on the driving situation and

the vehicle's equipment, the system may

recommend skipping one or more gears.

Gear engagement recommendations are

not to be considered mandatory. Indeed, the

configuration of the road, the traffic density and

safety remain determining factors when choosing

the best gear. Therefore, the driver remains

responsible for deciding whether or not to follow

the system’s advice.

The system cannot be deactivated.

The system is only active in mode

M

of

the automatic gearbox.

The information appears on the

instrument panel, in the form of an arrow

and the recommended gear.

The system adapts the gear change

instructions according to the driving

conditions (e.g. slope, load) and driving style

(e.g. power demand, acceleration, braking).

The system never suggests:

– engaging first gear;

– engaging reverse gear.

Stop & Start

The Stop & Start function puts the engine

temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during

phases when the vehicle is stationary (e.g. red

lights, traffic jams). The engine automatically

restarts - START mode - as soon as the driver

indicates the intention of moving off again.

Primarily designed for urban use, the function

is intended to reduce fuel consumption and

exhaust emissions as well as the noise level

when stationary.

The function does not affect the functionalities of

the vehicle, in particular the braking.

Deactivation/Reactivation

By default, the function is activated when the

ignition is switched on.

It is configured in the

ADAS

touch screen

application.

or

Direct access to the

Shortcuts for driving aids

.

The display of a message on the instrument

panel confirms the change of state.

If the function is deactivated while the engine is

in STOP mode, it will restart immediately.

, with the

vehicle stationary.

Time counter

A time counter adds up the time spent in standby

during the journey. It is reset to zero every time

the ignition is switched on.

Special cases:

The engine will not go into standby if the

conditions for operation are not met and in the

following cases:

– Steep slope (ascending or descending).

– Needed to maintain a comfortable temperature

in the passenger compartment.

– Demisting active.

In these cases, this indicator lamp flashes

for a few seconds, then goes off.

After the engine has restarted, STOP

mode is not available until the vehicle

has reached a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h).

During parking manoeuvres, STOP mode

is not available for a few seconds after

following case:

– Automatic gearbox in mode

N

, vehicle speed

exceeds 0.6 mph (1 km/h).

In this case, this indicator lamp flashes for

a few seconds, then goes off.

Malfunctions

In the event of a fault with the system, this

warning lamp flashes for a few moments

on the instrument panel, then remains on,

accompanied by the display of a message.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop.

The vehicle stalls in STOP mode

All of the instrument panel warning lamps come

on if there is a fault.

► Switch off the ignition then start the engine

again with the "

START/STOP

" button.

12 V battery

The Stop & Start system requires a

12 V battery of specific technology and

specification.

All work must be carried out only by a

CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop

Tyre under-inflation

detection

This system alerts the driver when one or more

tyres have a drop in pressure.

The alert is raised when the vehicle is moving,

not when stationary.

It compares the information given by the wheel

speed sensors with

reference values, which

must be reinitialised every time the tyre

pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed

.

It takes the last values stored during

the reinitialisation request into account. It is

therefore essential that the tyre pressure is

correct during the operation. This operation is

the driver’s responsibility.

The tyre under-inflation detection cannot,

in any circumstances, replace the need

for vigilance on the part of the driver.

This system does not avoid the need to

regularly check the tyre pressures (including

the spare wheel), especially before a long

journey.

Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly

in adverse conditions (heavy load, high

speed, long journey):

– worsens road-holding.

– lengthens braking distances.

– causes premature wear of the tyres.

– increases energy consumption.

The inflation pressures defined for the

vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure

label.

For more information on the

Identification

markings

, refer to the corresponding section.

Checking tyre pressures

This check should be done monthly

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, add 0.3 bar to the pressures

shown on the label.

101

Driving

6

Snow chains

The system does not have to be

reinitialised after fitting or removing snow

chains.

Under-inflation alert

This is signalled by the fixed illumination

of this warning lamp, accompanied by an

audible signal and, depending on equipment, the

display of a message.

► Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive

steering movements and avoid sudden braking.

► Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do

so.

The loss of pressure detected may not

always cause visible deformation of the

tyre.

Do not rely on just a visual check.

► Using a compressor, such as the one in

the temporary puncture repair kit, check the

pressures of all four tyres when cold.

► If it is not possible to carry out this check

immediately, drive carefully at reduced speed.

► In the event of a puncture, use the

temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel

(depending on equipment).

Driving too slowly may not ensure

optimum monitoring.

The alert is not immediately triggered in the

event of a sudden loss of pressure or tyre

blow-out. This is because analysis of the

values read by the wheel's speed sensors

can take several minutes.

The alert may be delayed at speeds below

25 mph (40 km/h), or when adopting a sporty

driving mode.

The alert is kept active until the system is

reinitialised.

Reinitialisation

► The system must be reinitialised after any

adjustment to the pressure of one or more tyres,

and after changing one or more wheels.

Before reinitialising the system, make

sure that the pressures of the four tyres

are correct for the conditions of use of the

vehicle and conform to the values written on

the tyre pressure label.

Check the pressures of the four tyres before

performing the reinitialisation.

The system does not advise if a pressure is

incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

With the vehicle stationary, the system

can be reinitialised in the

Settings>Vehicle

touch screen application.

► Then select

Safety>Under-inflation

reinitialisation

.

► Press

YES

to confirm.

The reinitialisation is confirmed by the display of

a message and an audible signal.

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction,

these warning lamps light up on

the instrument panel.

A message appears, accompanied by an audible

signal.

In this case, the tyre under-inflation monitoring

function is no longer performed.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop.

"Space-saver" type spare wheel

The use of this type of spare wheel may

suspend tyre pressure monitoring.

In this case, the malfunction warning lamp

comes on and disappears once the wheel

has been replaced by one of uniform size (the

same as the others), the pressure readjusted

and the reinitialisation carried out.

Driving and manoeuvring

aids - General

recommendations

Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in

any circumstances, replace the need for

vigilance on the part of the driver.

The driver must comply with the Highway

Code, must remain in control of the vehicle in

all circumstances and must be able to retake

control of it at all times. The driver must adapt

102

Driving

the speed to climatic conditions, traffic and

the state of the road.

It is the driver's responsibility to constantly

monitor traffic conditions, assess the distance

and relative speed of other vehicles, and

anticipate their manoeuvres before using the

direction indicator and changing lanes.

These systems do not make it possible to

exceed the laws of physics.

Driving aids

You should hold the steering wheel with

both hands, always use the door and interior

mirrors, always leave your feet close to the

pedals and take a break every 2 hours.

Manoeuvring aids

The driver must always check the

surroundings of the vehicle before and during

the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the

mirrors.

Radar(s)

The operation of the radar(s), along with

any associated functions, may be affected

by the accumulation of dirt (e.g. mud, ice),

in poor weather conditions (e.g. heavy rain,

snow), or if the bumpers are damaged.

If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact

a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop;

certain types of paint could interfere with the

operation of the radar(s).

Driving aids camera

This camera and its associated functions

may be impaired or not work if the windscreen

area in front of the camera is dirty, misty,

frosty, covered with snow, damaged or

masked by a sticker.

In humid and cold weather, demist the

windscreen regularly.

Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,

heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle

(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun,

reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel,

alternating shade and light) can also impair

detection performance.

In the event of a windscreen replacement,

contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop to recalibrate the camera;

otherwise, the operation of the associated

driving aids may be disrupted.

Other cameras

The images from the camera(s)

displayed on the touch screen or on the

instrument panel may be distorted by the

terrain.

In the presence of areas in shade, or in

conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate

lighting, the image may be darkened and with

lower contrast.

Obstacles may appear further away than they

actually are.

Sensors

The operation of the sensors, as well as

any associated functions, may be disrupted

by noise pollution such as that emitted by

noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries,

pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of

snow or dead leaves on the road or in the

event of damaged bumpers and mirrors.

When reverse gear is engaged, an audible

signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors

may be dirty.

A front or rear impact to the vehicle can

upset the sensors’ settings, which is not

always detected by the system: distance

measurements may be distorted.

The sensors do not systematically detect

obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs)

or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).

Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind

spots may not be detected or may no longer

be detected during the manoeuvre.

Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound

waves: pedestrians may not be detected.

103

Driving

Maintenance

Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and

the field of vision of the cameras regularly.

When washing your vehicle at high pressure,

direct the spray from at least 30 cm away

from the radar, sensors and cameras.

Mats / Pedals covers

The use of mats or pedals covers not

approved by CITROËN may interfere with

the operation of the speed limiter or cruise

control.

To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:

– Ensure that the mat is secured correctly.

– Never fit one mat on top of another.

Units of speed

Ensure that the units of speed displayed

in the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are

those for the country you are driving in.

If this is not the case, when the vehicle is

stationary, set the display to the required

units of speed so that it complies with what is

authorised locally.

In case of doubt, contact a CITROËN dealer

or a qualified workshop.

Steering wheel with

hands-on detection

(with Highway Driver Assist 2.0)

For more information, refer to the

General recommendations on the use

of driving and manoeuvring aids

.

The steering wheel is equipped with a hands-on

detection system to avoid distraction on the part

of the driver.

It is prohibited to cover or attach anything to the

steering wheel.

The driver must always check the

surroundings of the vehicle and

supervise the whole manoeuvre.

Any use of a system built into Highway Driver

Assist 2.0 must remain under the driver’s

vigilance.

The system also detects the presence of

hands when using the Lane Positioning assist

system with Highway Driver Assist.

The system may suffer interference or

not work correctly if:

– the steering wheel is covered by some

protection.

– the driver wears thick gloves (e.g. ski

gloves).

In the event of improper detection of hands on

the steering wheel, Highway Driver Assist 2.0

is not activated or is deactivated after a few

seconds.

Installation of mechanical anti-theft

devices on the steering wheel is

prohibited - risk of damage!

Shortcuts for driving aids

Driving aids can be accessed directly to quickly

activate/deactivate them.

By default, driving aids are already stored in the

system (e.g. Stop & Start, Active lane departure

warning system).

Other driving aids can be added or deleted from

the page.

It is configured in the

ADAS>Functions

touch screen application.

► Press the button corresponding to the

driving assistance concerned:

• Full symbol: the function is added to the

shortcuts.

• Empty symbol: the function is deleted from

the shortcuts.

Navigation mapping should be regularly

updated in order to receive accurate

speed limit information from the system.

The units for the speed limit (mph or

km/h) depend on the country you are

driving in.

This should be taken into account to ensure

you observe the speed limit.

For the system to work properly when

changing countries, the speed unit of the

instrument panel must match that of the

country you are driving in.

Automatic sign reading is a driving aid

system and does not always display the

correct speed limits.

The speed limit signs present on the road

always take priority over those displayed by

the system.

The system is designed to detect signs that

conform to the Vienna Convention on road

signs.

Specific speed limits, such as those for

heavy goods vehicles, are not displayed.

The display of the speed limit on the

instrument panel is updated when passing

a speed limit sign intended for cars (light

vehicles).

Activation/Deactivation

Driving

Operating limits

The system does not take account of reduced

speed limits, especially those imposed in the

following cases:

– Atmospheric pollution.

– Towing.

– Driving with a space-saver type spare wheel

or snow chains fitted.

– Tyre repaired using the temporary puncture

repair kit.

– Young drivers.

The system may not display the speed limit if it

does not detect a speed limit sign within a preset

period and in the following situations:

– Road signs that are obstructed, non-standard,

damaged or bent.

– Obsolete or incorrect maps.

Speed setting

recommendations

The driver can select the speed displayed by the

Road signs recognition

function as the speed

setting for the speed limiter, cruise control or

adaptive cruise control using the

OK

button.

In the event of rain detection, the system offers

the driver a speed setting lower than the speed

read/from the map in order to adapt to weather

conditions (e.g. on motorways, the proposed

speed is 68 mph (110 km/h) instead of 81 mph

(130 km/h).

Speed setting advance recommendations

With Highway Driver Assist 2.0 activated,

the system detects the next speed limit sign,

displays it in the background and proposes this

new speed as the speed setting.

Once memorised:

– If the speed setting is lower than the previous

one, the vehicle slows down to reach this new

speed when it gets to the sign.

– If the speed setting is higher than the previous

one, the vehicle speeds up to reach this new

speed when it passes the sign.

Cruise control - Specific

recommendations

The cruise control function does not

guarantee compliance with the maximum

authorised speed and the safety distance

between vehicles, the driver remains

responsible for their driving.

In the interest of public safety, only use cruise

control if the traffic conditions enable vehicles

to drive at a steady speed and maintain an

adequate safety distance.

Remain vigilant while cruise control is

activated.

If you press and hold one of the

speed setting modification buttons, your

vehicle may change speed very abruptly.

When

descending a steep hill

, the cruise

control system cannot prevent the vehicle

from exceeding the set speed. Brake if

necessary to control the vehicle speed.

On

steep climbs

or when towing, the set

speed may not be reached or maintained.

Exceeding the programmed speed

setting

You can

temporarily

exceed the speed

setting by pressing the accelerator pedal (the

programmed speed flashes).

To return to the speed setting, release the

accelerator pedal (when the set speed is

reached again, the displayed speed stops

flashing).

Operating limits

Never use the system in the following

situations:

– In an urban area with the risk of

pedestrians crossing the road.

– In heavy traffic (except versions with the

Stop & Go function).

– On winding or steep roads.

– On slippery or flooded roads.

– In poor weather conditions.

– In the event of restricted visibility for the

driver.

– Driving on a speed circuit.

– Driving on a rolling road.

– When using a ‘space-saver’ type spare

wheel.

– When using snow chains, non-slip covers

or studded tyres.

Highway Driver Assist

Only available on versions with automatic

gearbox.

This system automatically adjusts the speed

and corrects the trajectory of the vehicle, using

the Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop&Go in

conjunction with the Lane Positioning Assist.

These two functions must be activated and in

operation.

This system is especially suitable for driving on

motorways and main roads.

For more information on

Adaptive cruise

control

and

Lane Positioning Assist

, refer to

the corresponding sections.

The system assists the driver by acting

on the steering, acceleration and braking

within the physical limits and capacities of the

vehicle. Certain road infrastructure elements

or vehicles in the surroundings may not be

properly seen or may be poorly interpreted by

the camera and radar, resulting in an

unexpected change in direction, a lack of

steering correction and/or inappropriate

management of acceleration or braking.

Driving

– Highway Driver Assist with Adaptive Cruise

Control with Stop&Go and Lane positioning

assist.

– Speed setting advance recommendations.

– Speed adjustment during cornering.

– Semi-automatic lane changing.

By default, these functions are activated; but

they can be deactivated.

For more information on these functions, refer to

the corresponding sections.

The availability of the system depends on the

country you are driving in.

This system is only to be used on eligible

motorways and main roads.

The system's status is saved when the ignition is

switched off.

Adaptive cruise control

For more information, refer to the

General recommendations on the use

of driving and manoeuvring aids

and

to

Cruise control - particular

recommendations

.

This system automatically maintains the vehicle

speed at a value set by the driver (speed

setting), while respecting a safety distance from

the vehicle in front (target vehicle) previously set

by the driver. The system automatically manages

the acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle.

With the

Stop & Go function

, the system

manages braking until the vehicle comes to a

complete stop and the restarting of the vehicle.

The brake lamps come on if the vehicle

is slowed down by the system.

The system is not operational in the event of

a brake lamp failure.

To do this, the system uses a camera fitted at the

top of the windscreen and a radar fitted in the

front bumper.

Primarily designed for driving on main

roads and motorways, this system only

works with moving vehicles driving in the

same direction as your vehicle.

If the driver activates the direction

indicator to overtake a slower vehicle,

cruise control may temporarily reduce the

distance to the target vehicle to facilitate

overtaking, without exceeding the speed

setting.
