Driving

 

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

The Lane positioning assist system is 

automatically activated, after selecting Highway 

Driver Assist mode.

For more information on the 

Highway Driver 

Assist

 system, refer to the corresponding 

section.

The selection is confirmed by the display of 

the symbols on the instrument panel or on the 

head-up display (if fitted), 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 button again (confirmed when the symbol 

disappears).

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 not activated.

Regulation

The driver must hold the steering wheel 

properly.

When regulation 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. 

This position is not necessarily the centre of the 

lane.

The driver can feel movements in the steering 

wheel.

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 

action on the brake pedal that causes the 

Adaptive cruise control system to be paused 

will also cause the system to be paused.

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 button again.

115

Driving

6

Automatic suspension

Suspension of the system is accompanied by a 

specific audible signal.

–  Triggering of the ESC system.

–  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.

Paused 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 the Adaptive cruise control system.

–  Deactivation of the ASR system.

Driving situations and related alerts

The tables below describe the displays associated with the main driving situations. The actual order of display of these alerts may be different.

The locations of these symbols vary according to the display mode selected on the instrument panel and whether or not the head-up display is activated (if 

fitted to vehicle).

Driving

Operating limits

The system may issue an alert when the 

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:

–  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).

–  Windscreen area in front of the camera 

dirty, misted up, frost-covered, snow-covered, 

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.

–  Presence of a tarmac joint on the road.

Risk of undesirable operation

The system should be deactivated in the 

following situations:

–  Driving with a "space-saver" type spare 

wheel.

–  When towing or with a bicycle carrier 

attached to a towing device, particularly when 

a trailer is not connected or the trailer is not 

an approved type.

–  Adverse weather conditions.

–  Driving on slippery road surfaces (risk of 

aquaplaning, snow, ice).

–  In roadworks or toll booth 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 

qualified workshop.

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.

 

 

Operating conditions

–  Vehicle speed between 40 and 112 mph (65 

and 180 km/h).

–  Road marked with a central dividing line.

–  Steering wheel held in both hands.

–  Direction indicators not activated.

–  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 in a way that allows control to 

be maintained in circumstances where the 

system is not able to intervene (for example, if 

the central dividing line disappears).

Operation

As soon as the system identifies a risk of 

involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings 

119

Driving

6

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.

"Hold the wheel".

If, while correcting the trajectory, the system determines that the correction will not be 

enough and that a solid line will be crossed: the driver is warned that they must provide 

additional trajectory adjustment.

If the steering wheel is not held properly, an audible warning sounds, accompanied by 

a message, until the trajectory correction is completed or the driver has grasped the 

steering wheel correctly.

The duration of audible warnings will increase if multiple corrections are performed 

in quick succession. The warning will become continuous, persisting until the driver 

responds.

Operating limits

The system goes into standby automatically in 

the following cases:

–  ESC deactivated or operation triggered.

–  Speed below 40 mph (65 km/h) or greater 

than 112 mph (180 km/h).

–  Electrical connection to a trailer.

–  Use of a"space-saver" spare wheel detected 

(as detection is not immediate, deactivation of 

the system is recommended).

–  Dynamic driving style detected, pressure on 

the brake or accelerator pedal.

–  Driving over lane markings.

–  Activation of the direction indicators.

–  Crossing the inside line on a bend.

–  Driving on a tight bend.

–  Inactivity by the driver detected during 

correction.

–  Narrow lane detected.

The following situations may interfere 

with the operation of the system or 

prevent it from working:

–  Insufficient contrast between the road 

surface and the side of the road (e.g. shade).

–  Lane markings worn, hidden (snow, mud) 

or multiple (roadworks, etc.),

–  Close proximity to the vehicle in front (lane 

markings may not be detected).

–  Roads that are narrow, winding.

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.

–  Road in poor condition, unstable or with very 

poor grip (risk of aquaplaning, snow, ice).

–  Adverse weather conditions.

–  Driving on racing circuits.

–  Driving on a rolling road.

automatically reactivated

 every 

time the ignition is switched on.

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction, 

these warning lamps light 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.

Blind spot monitoring

For more information, refer to the 

General recommendations on the use 

of driving and manoeuvring aids

.

 

 

This system warns the driver of a potential 

danger posed by the presence of another vehicle 

(car, lorry, motorcycle) in the vehicle's blind 

spots (areas hidden from the driver's field of 

vision) using sensors located on the sides of the 

bumpers.

 

 

The warning is given by a fixed warning lamp 

that 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.

Activation/Deactivation

It is set via the

Driving/Vehicle

 touch 

screen menu.

When starting the vehicle, the warning lamp 

comes on in each mirror to indicate that the 

system is activated.

The status of the system is memorised when the 

ignition is switched off.

The system is automatically deactivated 

when towing with a towing device 

approved by CITROËN.

Operating conditions

–  All vehicles are moving in the same direction 

and in adjacent lanes.

–  The speed of your vehicle must be between 

7 and 87 mph (12 and 140 km/h) (versions 

without Park Assist) or between 19 and 87 mph 

(30 and 140 km/h) (versions with Park Assist).

–  When overtaking a vehicle, the speed 

difference is less than 6 mph (10 km/h).

–  When overtaken by a vehicle, the speed 

difference is less than 16 mph (25 km/h).

–  Traffic is flowing normally.

–  Overtaking a vehicle over a certain period of 

time 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, 

etc.

Operating limits

 

 

 

122

Driving

 

No alert is triggered in the following conditions:

–  presence of stationary objects (e.g. parked 

vehicles, safety rails, lampposts, signs).

–  vehicles travelling in the opposite direction.

–  on winding roads or in case of sharp turns.

–  when overtaking or being overtaken by a 

very long vehicle (e.g. truck, bus), which is both 

detected in a blind spot from behind and present 

in the driver's field of vision from the front.

–  quick overtaking manoeuvre.

–  very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in front 

and behind are confused with a lorry or a 

stationary object.

–  activation of the Park Assist function. 

Malfunction

If the event of a malfunction, this warning 

lamp comes on in the instrument panel, 

accompanied by the display of a message.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 

qualified workshop.

The system may be temporarily disturbed 

by certain climatic conditions (e.g. rain, 

hail).

In particular, driving on a wet road or going 

from a dry to a wet area can cause false 

alerts (e.g. presence of a cloud of water 

droplets in the blind spot 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 

correct operation of the system.

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 vehicle in front, a pedestrian or, 

depending on version, a cyclist.

–  reduces the vehicle's speed to avoid a 

collision or limit its severity.

The speed will be reduced by a 

maximum of 12 mph (20 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.

This system is comprised of three functions:

–  Collision Risk Alert.

–  Intelligent emergency braking assistance 

(iEBA).

–  Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency 

braking).

 

123

Driving

6

 

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 vigilance on the part of the driver.

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 obstacle, it prepares the braking 

circuit in case automatic braking is needed. 

This may cause a slight noise and a slight 

sensation of deceleration.

Deactivation/Activation

By default, the system is automatically activated 

at every engine start.

The settings are changed via the 

Driving

/

Vehicle

 touch screen menu.

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.

ESC system operational.

Seat belts fastened for all passengers.

Stabilised speed on roads with few bends.

In the following cases, deactivating the system 

via the vehicle's configuration menu is advised:

–  Towing a trailer.

–  Carrying long objects on roof bars.

–  Vehicle with snow chains fitted.

–  Before using an automatic car wash, with the 

engine running.

–  Before placing the vehicle on a rolling road in 

a workshop.

–  Towed vehicle, engine running.

–  Following an impact to the windscreen close to 

the detection camera.

The system is automatically deactivated 

when the use of certain types of 

"space-saver" spare wheel (smaller diameter) 

is detected, or if a fault with the brake pedal 

switch or at least two brake lamps is detected.

It can be dangerous to drive if the brake 

lamps are not in perfect working order.

It is possible that 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.

Following an impact, the system is 

automatically deactivated.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 

qualified workshop.

Collision Risk Alert

This function warns the driver that their vehicle 

is at risk of a collision with the vehicle in front, or 

with a pedestrian or cyclist present in their traffic 

lane.

Modifying the alert trigger threshold

This trigger threshold determines the sensitivity 

with which the function warns of the risk of 

collision.

The threshold is set via 

the

Driving

/

Vehicle

 touch screen menu.

►  Select one of the three pre-defined 

thresholds: "Far", "Normal" or "Close".

The last threshold selected is memorised when 

the ignition is switched off.

Operation

Depending on the degree of risk of collision 

detected by the system and the alert trigger 

threshold chosen by the driver, several different 

124

Driving

levels of alert may be triggered and displayed on 

the instrument panel.

The system takes account of the vehicle 

dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the one 

in front, the environmental conditions and the 

operation of the vehicle (actions on the pedals, 

steering wheel, etc.) to trigger the alert at the 

most relevant moment.

Level 1 (orange)

: visual alert only, 

warning that the vehicle in front is very 

close.

The message "

Vehicle close

" is displayed.

Level 2 (red)

: visual and audible alert, 

warning that a collision is imminent.

The message "

Brake!

" is displayed.

Level 3

: in some cases, a vibration alert in the 

form of micro-braking can be given, confirming 

the risk of collision.

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 directly.

Important:

 the level 1 alert is not displayed 

when there is a stationary obstacle or 

when the "

Near

" trigger threshold has been 

selected.

Intelligent emergency 

braking assistance (iEBA)

This function supplements braking in the event 

that the driver brakes, but not enough to avoid a 

collision.

This assistance will only be provided if the driver 

presses the brake pedal.

Active Safety Brake

 

 

This function, also called automatic emergency 

braking, intervenes following the alerts if the 

driver does not react quickly enough and does 

not operate the vehicle's brakes.

The system aims to reduce the speed of impact 

or avoid a collision where the driver fails to react.

The speed will be reduced by a 

maximum of 12 mph (20 km/h) (versions 

with camera only) or by a maximum of 31 

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

radar).

Operation

The system operates in the following speed 

ranges:

–  Between 3 mph and 50 mph (5 km/h and 

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

–  Between 3 mph and 50 mph (5 km/h and 

80 km/h) when a pedestrian is detected.

–  Between 3 mph and 50 mph (5 km/h and 

80 km/h) when a cyclist is detected (versions 

with camera and radar only).

–  Between 3 mph and 50 mph (5 km/h and 

80 km/h) (versions with camera only) or 87 mph 

(140 km/h) (versions with cameras 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.

With an automatic gearbox or drive selector, 

in the event of automatic emergency braking 

bringing the vehicle to a complete stop, keep the 

brake pedal depressed to prevent the vehicle 

from moving off again.

With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic 

emergency braking bringing the vehicle to a 

complete stop, the engine may stall.

125

Driving

6

The driver can maintain control of the 

vehicle at any time by firmly turning the 

steering wheel and/or firmly depressing the 

accelerator pedal.

The brake pedal may vibrate slightly 

while the function is operating.

If the vehicle comes to a complete stop, 

automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 2 

seconds.

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.

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 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

.

Depending on version, the function consists of 

either the "Coffee Break Alert" system alone or 

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

This function is set via the touch screen 

Driving

/

Vehicle

 menu.

The function is activated by default when the 

ignition is switched on.

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

Depending on version, the

 Coffee Break Alert 

system may be combined with the Driver 

Attention Warning system.

 

 

126

Driving

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 "

Be vigilant!

", accompanied by an 

audible signal.

After three first-level alerts, the system triggers 

a further alert with the message "

Dangerous 

driving: take a break

", accompanied by a more 

pronounced audible signal.

In certain driving conditions (poor road 

surface or strong winds), the system may 

give alerts independent of the driver's level of 

vigilance.

The following situations may interfere 

with the operation of the system or 

prevent it from working:

–  lane markings absent, worn, hidden (snow, 

mud) or multiple (roadworks);

–  close to the vehicle ahead (lane markings 

not detected);

–  roads that are narrow, winding, etc.

Parking sensors

For more information, refer to the 

General recommendations on the use 

of driving and manoeuvring aids

.

 

 

This system detects and signals the proximity of 

obstacles (e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) 

using sensors located in the bumper.

Rear parking sensors

►  Engage reverse gear to 

start the system 

(confirmed by an audible signal).

The system is switched off when reverse gear is 

disengaged.

Audible assistance

 

 

The system signals the presence of obstacles 

within the sensors’ detection zone.

The proximity information is given by an 

intermittent audible signal, the frequency of 

which increases as the vehicle approaches the 

obstacle.

When the distance between the vehicle and 

the obstacle becomes less than about thirty 

centimetres, the audible signal becomes 

continuous.

The sound emitted by the speaker (right or 

left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is 

located.

Adjusting the audible signal

Depending on version, with 

CITROËN Connect Nav, pressing 

this button opens the window for adjusting the 

volume of the audible signal.

Visual assistance

 

 

This supplements the audible signal, without 

taking account of the vehicle's trajectory, by 

displaying bars on the screen that represent the 

distance between the obstacle and the vehicle 

(white: more distant, orange: close, red: very 

close).

127

Driving

6

When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger" 

symbol is displayed on the screen.

Front parking sensors

Supplementing the rear parking sensors, the 

front parking sensors are triggered when an 

obstacle is detected in front and the speed of the 

vehicle is below 6 mph (10 km/h).

Front parking sensor operation is suspended if 

the vehicle stops for more than three seconds in 

forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer detected 

or the vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).

The sound emitted by the speaker (front 

or rear) locates the obstacle relative to 

the vehicle, in front or behind it.

Side parking sensors

 

 

Using four additional sensors located on the 

sides of the bumpers, the system records the 

position of obstacles during the manoeuvre and 

indicates them when they are located alongside 

the vehicle.

Only fixed obstacles are indicated 

correctly. Moving obstacles detected at 

the beginning of the manoeuvre may be 

indicated mistakenly, while moving obstacles 

that appear alongside the vehicle but were 

not previously recorded will not be indicated.

Objects memorised during the 

manoeuvre will no longer be stored after 

switching off the ignition.

Deactivation/Activation

The settings are changed via 

the 

Driving

/

Vehicle

 touch screen menu.

The system status is memorised when the 

ignition is switched off.

 

 

The rear parking sensors system will be 

deactivated automatically if a trailer or 

bicycle carrier is connected to a towing device 

installed in accordance with the 

manufacturer's recommendations.

In this case, the outline of a trailer is displayed 

at the rear of the image of the vehicle.

The parking sensors are deactivated while the 

Park Assist function is measuring a space.

For more information on the 

Park 

Assist

For more information, refer to the 

General recommendations on the use 

of driving and manoeuvring aids

.

With the engine running, these systems allow 

views of your vehicle’s close surroundings to be 

displayed on the touch screen using one camera 

for Top Rear Vision and two cameras for 360 

vision.

 

 

 

 

The screen is divided into two parts with a 

contextual view and a view from above the 

vehicle in its close surroundings.

The parking sensors supplement the information 

on the view from above the vehicle.

Various contextual views may be displayed:

–  Standard view.

–  180° view.

–  Zoom view.

AUTO mode is activated by default.

In this mode, the system chooses the best 

view to display (standard or zoom).

You can change the type of view at any time 

during a manoeuvre.

►  Press the button in the bottom left-hand 

corner of the touch screen.

Operating principle

 

 

Using one or two cameras, the close 

surroundings of the vehicle are recorded whilst 

manoeuvring at low speed.

An image from above your vehicle in its close 

surroundings is reconstructed (represented 

between the brackets) in real time and as the 

manoeuvre progresses.

It facilitates the alignment of your vehicle when 

parking and allows obstacles close to the vehicle 

to be seen. It is automatically deleted if the 

vehicle remains stationary for too long.

With 360 vision, the image is created using 

both cameras, when going forward and when 

reversing.

When the function is activated, it is possible 

that the view from above is not displayed. If 

the system is activated when the vehicle has 

already moved, the view from above can be fully 

displayed.

approached at the level of the red line (less than 

30 cm) during a manoeuvre.
