Collision risk alert
System providing a warning to the driver that their vehicle is at risk of collision with the vehicle in front.
T he   collision   risk   alert   system   can   be   activated  
o

r   deactivated   by   the   driver.
From
  the   secondary   page   of   the   "Driving
assistance "
  menu:
F

This
  system   has   been   designed   to  
i

mprove   driving   safety.
It
  is   the   responsibility   of   the   driver   to  
k

eep   a   constant   check   on   the   state   of  
t

he   traffic,   to   assess   the   relative   speed  
a

nd   distance   of   other   vehicles.
The
  collision   risk   alert   system   can   never  
r

eplace   the   need   for   vigilance   on   the  
p

art   of   the   driver.
This
  system   operates   from   20   mph  
(

30 km/h),   only   when   other   vehicles   are  
r

unning   in   the   same   direction   as   your  
v

ehicle;   the   system   does   not   detect  
s

tationary   objects.   A   radar   is   fitted   at  
t

he   front   of   the   vehicle. The
  alert   thresholds   determine   how   you   want   to  
b

e   alerted   to   the   presence   of   a   vehicle   running  
i

n   front   of   you.
You
  can   choose   from   three   thresholds:
-
 
1
:   
"
Distant",   to   be   given   an   early   alert  
(

cautious
 d
riving).
-
 
2
:   "Normal".
-
 
3
:   
"
Close",   to   be   given   a   later   alert   (sporty  
d

riving).

the alert
This function can be deactivated permanently   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a

Lane departure warning system
System which, using a camera which recognises   solid   or   broken   lines,   detects   the  
i

nvoluntary   crossing   of   longitudinal   traffic   lane  
m

arkings   on   the   ground.
To
  provide   safe   driving,   the   camera   analyses  
t

he   image   then,   if   the   driver's   attention   drops,  
t

riggers   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  
a

nd   main   roads. Activation
  and   deactivation   of   the   function   is  
d

one   in   the   touch   screen   tablet.

360 Vision
This system provides a view in the instrument panel   of   the   near   surroundings   of   your   vehicle,  
u

sing   cameras   mounted   at   the   front   and   rear   of  
y

our   vehicle   and   under   the   door   mirrors.
Depending
  on   the   angle   of   view   chosen  
(front
  view,   rear   view   or   360°   panoramic   view),  
3

60 Vision   provides   special   visual   assistance  
i

n   particular   driving   conditions   such   as   when  
e

ntering   a   blind   crossing   or   manoeuvring   in  
a

reas   of   reduced   visibility.
Once
  activated,   this   function   operates   up   to  
9 m

ph   (15   km/h).   Above   18   mph   (30   km/h),   the  
f

unction   is   deactivated   automatically. This
  system   is   a   visual   aid   which   in   no  
c

ircumstances   can   replace   the   need   for  
v

igilance   on   the   part   of   the   driver.
The   images   provided   by   the   cameras  
m

ay   be   deformed   by   the   relief.   The  
p

resence   of   areas   in   shade,   in   sunny  
c

onditions,   or   of   low   ambient   light   may  
d

arken   the   image   and   reduce   contrast.
Forward vision
The camera located in the front bumper is a
ctivated   and   views   of   the   areas   located   at  
f

ront   left   and   front   right   appear   simultaneously  
i

n   the   instrument   panel.
Rear vision
The camera located in the tailgate is activated and   the   view   of   the   area   behind   your   vehicle   is  
d

isplayed   in   the   instrument   panel   and   behaves  
l

ike   a   reversing   camera,   whatever   the   position  
o

f   the   gear   selector   lever.
The
  blue   lines   represent   the   width   of   your  
v

ehicle   (excluding   mirrors):   they   move  
a

ccording   to   the   position   of   the   steering   wheel.
The
  red   line   represents   a   distance   of   30   cm  
f

rom   the   rear   bumper,   and   the   two   green  
l

ines,   1   m   and   2   m   from   the   rear   bumper,
