Lane departure warning system
System which detects the involuntary crossing of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the ground (solid or broken line). Sensors, fitted below the front bumper, trigger a warning if the vehicle drifts over a lane marking (speed higher than 50 mph (80 km/h)). This system is par ticularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.
Activation
Press this button, the indicator lampcomes on.
The lane depar ture warning system cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need for vigilance and responsibility on the par t of the driver.
Deactivation
You are warned by the vibration of the driver's seat cushion: - on the right-hand side, if the marking on the ground has been 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 direction indicator is active and for approximately20 seconds after the direction indicator is switched off. A warning may be transmitted if a direction marking (e.g. arrow) or non-standard marking (e.g. graffiti) is crossed.
Detection
Operating fault
The detection may be impeded: - if the sensors are dir ty (mud, snow...), - if the markings on the ground are worn, - if there is little contrast between the markings on the ground and the road sur face.
Press this button again, the indicator lamp goes off. The status of the system remains in the memory when the ignition is switched off.
In the event of a malfunction, the ser vice warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
