2015 Citroen C1 Instrument panel

Lane departure warning system
System which detects the unintended crossing of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the ground, using a camera that recognises both solid and
broken lines.
To improve your safety, the camera analyses the image and then triggers a warning if the vehicle wanders over a lane marking (speed higher than
30 mph (50 km/h)).
This system is particularly suitable for motor ways and dual carriageways.
The lane departure warning system
cannot in any circumstances replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
It is necessary to observe driving
regulations and take a break every
two
hours.
Activation
F Press this button, located on the steering wheel.
Detection
You are alerted by an audible signal and the
display of a warning lamp in the instrument
panel.
No alert is given if the direction
indicators are on and for around
20
seconds after they stop flashing.

Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination

indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer assured.

dealer or a qualified workshop.
Before doing anything to the system,
the pressures of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.
The under-inflation alert can only be
considered reliable if reinitialisation of
the system is done with the the four tyre
pressures correctly set.Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing
snow chains.

Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
indicates that there is a fault with the
electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD), which could cause loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.
Operation
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
indicates that there is a fault with
the ABS system, which could cause
loss of control of the vehicle when
braking.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
make sure that these are approved for
your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.
In emergency braking, press
very firmly without releasing
the

pressure.
Yo u must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
and traction control (TRC)
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
As soon as they detect a problem of grip or
trajectory, these systems act on the operation if
the engine and brakes.
Activation of the DSC system is
signalled by the flashing of this
indicator lamp in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal.
Activation of the TRC system is

Activation
Press the button, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel.
Operation
Three levels of operation are possible:
● A lert: if a risk of collision with a vehicle is
detected, a warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel together with an audible
signal. The thresholds for triggering the
alert can be set.
●

Br
aking assistance : increases the
braking started by the driver, only if a risk
of collision is detected.
●

A
utomatic braking : when your vehicle
is too close to or closing too quickly on
the vehicle ahead of you, the system
automatically operates the brakes to
reduce the speed of impact. A collision can
be avoided automatically if the difference
in speed between your vehicle and the one
ahead is not more than 18 mph (30 km/h).
You are then alerted by the display of
this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal. The automatic braking may bring the vehicle to
a complete stop if the situation requires it.
The brake lamps on your vehicle come on to
warn other road users. The triggering of the system may cause
the engine to stall, unless the driver
depresses the clutch pedal quickly
enough during automatic braking.
