lane markings on the ground (solid
or broken line).
S e n s o r s , fi t t e d b e l o w t h e f r o n t
bumper, trigger a warning if the vehi-
cle drifts over a lane marking (speed

crossed on the right,
- on the left-hand side, if the marking on the ground has been crossed
on the left.
No warning is transmitted while the

a p p r o x i m a t e l y 2 0 s e c o n d s a f t e r t h e
direction indicator is switched off.
A warning may be transmitted if a
direction marking (e.g. arrow) or

is crossed. Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction, the
service warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal

Consult a CITROËN dealer.
The lane departure warning sys-
tem cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver. The detection may be impeded:
- if the sensors are dirty (mud,
snow...),
- if the markings on the ground are worn,
- if there is little contrast between the markings on the ground and
the road surface.
