2013.5 Citroen DS5 ESP

Lane departure warning system

System which, using a camera which
recognises solid or broken lines, detects the
involuntary crossing of longitudinal traffic lane
markings on the ground.
To provide safe driving, the camera analyses
the image then, if the driver's attention drops,
triggers 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
lamp comes on.

The lane departure warning system
cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need for vigilance and responsibility
on the part 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 approximately
20 seconds after the direction indicator is
switched off.


Detection - alert
Operating fault


The detection may be impeded:


- if the markings on the ground
are worn,

- if there is little contrast between the
markings on the ground and the
road surface,

- if the windscreen is dirty,

- in certain severe weather
conditions: fog, heavy rain, snow,
bright sunlight or direct exposure
to the sun (low sun, leaving a
tunnel, ...) and shade.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
On a steep descent or in the event of
sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:


- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,

- do not fit one mat on top of another.


Switch the speed limiter back on by pressing button 4
again.
You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 2
and 3
:


- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press,

- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.
If speed memorisation is available and activated on your vehicle,
the programmed speed will stop at the closest memorised speed;
refer to the corresponding paragraph.

: this is confirmed
in the screen (Pause).

This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.)
which comes within the field of detection of
sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks
cone, etc.) detected initially will no longer be
detected at the end of the manoeuvre due to
the presence of blind spots.






Parking sensors


This function cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver.



Rear parking sensors

The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear. This is accompanied by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you exit
reverse gear.

Audible assistance

The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.




Visual assistance

This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars in the multifunction screen
which move progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is near, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed in the screen.

Reversing camera


A reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
The colour image is provided in the navigation
screen.
The green lines represent the general direction
of the vehicle.
The red lines represent around 30 cm beyond
the limit of your vehicle's rear bumper. The
audible signal becomes continuous from this
limit.
The blue lines represent the maximum turning
circle.

Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a sponge and a soft cloth.
When cleaning the vehicle with a high
pressure jet wash, keep the end of the
lance at least 30 cm from the camera.

This system is a driving aid that does not
replace the vigilance or the responsibility of the
driver, who must remain in control of the vehicle
at all times.
