Driving
Malfunction
The display of dashes (flashing then fixed)
indicates a malfunction with the cruise control
system.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Active Safety Brake with
Collision Risk Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
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 or a pedestrian.
– reduces the vehicle's speed to avoid a
collision or limit its severity.
This system is comprised of three functions:
– Collision Risk Alert.
90
– Intelligent emergency braking assistance.
– Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency
braking).
The vehicle has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen and, depending on version, a
radar located in the front bumper.
This system does not avoid 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 the state of the traffic, observing the
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.
This system can be deactivated or
activated via the Driving/Vehicle of the
touch screen.
Deactivation of the system is signalled by
the illumination of this indicator lamp,
accompanied by the display of a message.
