Operation
When your vehicle is too close to or
approaches the vehicle ahead too
quicklythesystemautomatically
appliesthebrakestoavoidacollision.
You are then alerted by the display of a
message.
Thebrakelampsonyourvehiclecome
ontowarnotherroadusers.
The collision can be avoided
automaticallyifthedifferencein
speed between your vehicle and the
vehicleaheaddoesnotexceed9mph
(15km/h).
Abovethisthreshold,thesystemwill
do what is possible to avoid or reduce
the accident by lowering the speed of
impact.
Theautomaticbrakingmaybring
thevehicletoacompletestopifthe
situationrequiresit.
In this case, the vehicle is held
stationarytemporarily(forabout
1.5seconds)toallowthedrivertotake
backcontrolbypressingthebrake
pedal.
Thetriggeringofthesystemmay
cause the engine to stall, unless
the driver depresses the clutch
pedalquicklyenoughduringautomatic
braking.
Duringautomaticbraking,the
driver can always obtain a higher
rate of deceleration than that
controlledbythesystem,bypressing
rmlyonthebrakepedal.
Afteranimpact,thesystemis
automaticallyputoutofservice:it
nolongeroperates.
YoumustgotoaCITROËNdealerora
qualiedworkshoptohavethesystem
madeoperationalagain.
Operating limits
Thesystemonlydetectsvehiclesthat
arestationaryormovinginthesame
directionasyourvehicle.
Itdoesnotdetectsmallvehicles
(bicycles,motorcycles),
pedestriansoranimals,nornon-
reectivestationaryobjects.
Thesystemisnottriggeredoris
interruptedifthedriver:
- accelerates strongly
- or turns the steering wheel
suddenly(avoidingmanoeuvre).
Indifcultweatherconditions(very
heavyrain,snow,fog,hail...),
brakingdistancesincrease,which
canreducetheabilityofthesystemto
avoidacollision.
Thedrivermustthereforeremain
particularlyvigilant.
Neverleaveaccumulationsof
snoworanyobjectprojecting
above the bonnet or in front of
theroof:thismightfallintotheeldof
vision of the sensor and generate a
detection.
