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  
3

0 mph   (50   km/h)).
This
  system   is   particularly   suitable   for   motor ways   and   dual   carriageways.
The
  lane   departure   warning   system  
c

annot   in   any   circumstances   replace  
t

he   need   for   vigilance   on   the   part   of   the  
d

river.
It
  is   necessary   to   observe   driving  
r

egulations   and   take   a   break   every  
two
  hours.
Activation
F Press  this   button,   located   on   the   steering  w
heel.
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  
i

ndicators   are   on   and   for   around  
20
  seconds   after   they   stop   flashing.

e

xcessive   steering   movements   and   sudden  
b

raking.

S

top the vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so.
The
  loss   of   pressure   detected   does   not

c

heck.
F
 
I

f
 
you
  have   a   compressor   (such   as   the   one  
i

n
 
the
  temporary   puncture   repair   kit)   check  
t

he
 
pressures   of   the   four   tyres   when   cold.
 I

f
 
it
 
is
  not   possible   to   carry   out   this   check  
s

traight   away,   drive   carefully   at   reduced  
s

peed.

F

I

n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary
  puncture   repair   kit   or   the   spare  
w

heel   (depending   on   equipment).
The
  alert   is   maintained   until   the   system  
i

s
 r

einitialised.
Reinitialisation
Before reinitialising the system, ensure t hat the pressures of the four tyres are
correct
  for   the   use   of   the   vehicle   and   in  
l

ine   with   the   recommendations   on   the  
t

yre   pressure   label.
The
  under-inflation   alert   can   only   be  
r

elied   on   if   the   reinitialisation   of   the  
s

ystem   has   done   with   the   pressures   in  
t

he   four   tyres   correctly   adjusted.
The
  under-inflation   detection   system  
d

oes   not   give   a   warning   if   a   pressure   is  
i

ncorrect   at   the   time   of   reinitialisation.
It
 
is
 
necessary
 
to
 
reinitialise
 
the
 
system
 
every
 
t

ime
 
one
 
or
 
more

pressures
 
are
 
adjusted,

The under-inflation alert can only be considered   reliable   if   reinitialisation   of  
t

he   system   is   done   with   the   the   four   tyre  
p

ressures   correctly   set.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be reinitialised   after   fitting   or   removing  
sn

ow
 c
hains.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination of   the   under-inflation   warning   lamp i

ndicates   a   fault   with   the   system.
In
 
this
 
case,   under-inflation   monitoring   of   the  
t

yres
 
is
 
no   longer   assured.
Have
 
the
 
system   checked   by   a   CITROËN  
d

ealer
 
or
 
a   qualified   workshop.
Before
  doing   anything   to   the   system,  
t

he
  pressures   of   the   four   tyres   must   be  
c
