-
 
i
mmediately,   when   being   overtaken,
-

a
fter a delay of about one second, when
overtaking
  a   vehicle   slowly.
This
 
driving
 
assistance
 
system
 
warns
 
the
 
driver
 o
f the presence of another vehicle in the blind
spot
 
angle
 
of
 
their
 
vehicle
 
(areas
 
masked
 
from
 
t

he
 
driver's
 
field
 
of
 
vision),
 
as
 
soon
 
as
 
this
 
p

resents
 
a
 
potential
 
danger. Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor
  the   blind   spots.
This
 
system
 
is
 
designed
 
to
 
improve
 
safety

r

esponsibility
 
to
 
constantly
 
check
 
the
 
traffic,
 
to   assess   the   distances   and   relative   speeds   of  
o

ther
 
vehicles
 
and
 
to
 
predict
 
their
 
movements   before   deciding   whether   to   change   lane.
The
 
blind
 
spot
 
monitoring
 
system
 
can
 
never
 
replace   the   need   for   vigilance   on   the   part   of   the  
d

river. Activation of the function is done in the touch

In the event of a fault, this warning lamp flashes for a few moments in
the instrument panel, accompanied
by
  a   message.
Operating fault
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified w orkshop. The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather
conditions
  (rain,   hail...).
In   particular,   driving   on   a   wet   sur face  o
r   moving   from   a   dry   area   to   a   wet   area  c
an   cause   false   alerts   (for   example,   the  
p

resence   of   a   fog   of   water   droplets   in  
t

he   blind   spot   angle   is   interpreted   as   a  
v

ehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered by mud, ice
or
  snow.
Take
  care   not   to   cover   the   warning   zone  
i

n the door mirrors or the detection
zones on the front and rear bumpers
with
  adhesive   labels   or   other   objects;  
t

hey may hamper the correct operation
of
  the   system.

When
  washing   your   vehicle,   direct   the  
l

ance   at   least   30   cm   away   from   the  
sen

sors.In
  addition   to   the   fixed   warning   lamp   in   the   door  
m

irror on the side in question, a correction of
trajectory   will   be   felt   if   you   cross   a   lane   marking  w
ith the direction indicators on, to help you

Fatigue detection system
Depending on version, the "Driving time warning   system"   may   be   combined   with   the  
"

Fatigue   detection   system".
Using
  a   camera   placed   at   the   top   of   the  
w

indscreen,   the   system   assesses   the   driver's  
l

evel   of   vigilance   by   identifying   variations   in  
t

rajectory   compared   to   the   lane   markings.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed
  higher   than   40   mph   (65   km/h)).Once the system considers that the behaviour
of
  the   vehicle   suggests   a   certain   level   of   fatigue  
o

r   inattention   by   the   driver,   it   triggers   the   first  
l

evel   of   alert.
The
  driver   is   then   alerted   by   the   message  
"Ta

k e c a r e !", accompanied by an audible
signal.
After
  three   first   level   alerts,   the   system   triggers  
a

  new   alert   with   the   message   "Take a break! ",
accompanied by a more pronounced audible
signal. In
  certain   driving   conditions   (poor   road  
s

ur face   or   strong   winds),   the   system  
m

ay   give   alerts   independent   of   the  
d

river's   level   of   vigilance.
The   following   situations   may   inter fere  
w

ith operation of the system or prevent
it   working:
-  
p
oor   visibility   (inadequate   lighting  
o

f   the   roadway,   falling   snow,   heavy  
r

ain,   dense   fog,   ...),
-  d azzle   (headlamps   of   an   oncoming  v
ehicle, low sun, reflections on
a
  damp   road,   leaving   a   tunnel,  
a

lternating   shade   and   light,   ...),
-

w
indscreen area located in front
of
  the   camera:   dirty,   misted,   frost-
covered,
  snow-covered,   damaged  
o

r   covered   by   a   sticker,
-
 
l
ane   markings   absent,   worn,  
m

asked   (snow,   mud)   or   multiple  
(

roadworks,

),
-

c
lose to the vehicle ahead (lane
markings
  not   detected),
-

Front parking sensors
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) indicates whether the obstacle
is
  in   front   or   behind. The system will be deactivated
automatically
  if   a   trailer   is   being  
t

owed or a bicycle carrier is fitted on
a towbar (vehicle fitted with a towbar
installed
  in   line   with   the   manufacturer's  
r

ecommendations).In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud,
  ice   or   snow.   When   reverse   gear   is  
e

ngaged,   an   audible   signal   (long   beep)  
i

ndicates   that   the   sensors   may   be   dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry,
  pneumatic   drill,   etc.)   may   trigger  
t

he   audible   signals   of   the   parking  
s

ensor   system.
As
 
an
 
addition   to   the   rear   parking   sensors,   the  
f

ront
 
parking   sensors   are   triggered   when   an  
o

bstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the
 
vehicle   remains   below   6   mph   (10   km/h).
The
 
front   parking   sensors   are   interrupted   if  
t

he vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in
 
for ward   gear,   if   no   further   obstacles   are  
d

etected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds   6   mph   (10   km/h). The   parking   sensors   can   be   deactivated   in   the
