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 particularly 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 sur face, - 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.
Press this button again, the indicator lamp goes off.
In the event of a fault, the indicator lamp in the button flashes. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
The status of the system remains in the memory when the ignition is switched off. It is necessary to observe the driving regulations and to take a break every
two hours.
