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.
High pressure jet wash
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
avoid   a   collision.

Fatigue detection system
It is recommended that you take a break as soon as you feel tired or at least every two hours.
D epending   on   version,   the   vehicle   either   has   the   "Driving   time   warning   system"   only,   or   this   combined   with   the   "Fatigue   detection   system".
Driving time warning
The system t riggers  a n  a lert  o nce  i t  d etects  t hat  t
he   driver   has   not   taken   a   break   after   two   hours  
o

f   driving   at   a   speed   above   40   mph   (65   km/h).
This
  alert   takes   the   form   of   the   display   of   a  
m

essage   encouraging   you   to   take   a   break,  
a

ccompanied   by   an   audible   signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the
alert is repeated hourly until the vehicle is
stopped.
The system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance
 
on
 
the
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
driver.
Do
 
not
 
take
 
the
 
wheel
 
if
 
you
 
are
 
tired. As soon as the speed of the vehicle
drops
  below   40   mph   (65   km/h),   the  
s

ystem   goes   into   standby.
The
  driving   time   is   counted   again   once  
t

he   speed   is   above   40   mph   (65   km/h).
The
  system   resets   itself   if   one   of   the   following  c
onditions   is   met:
-
 
e
ngine   running,   the   vehicle   has   been  
s

tationary for more than 15 minutes,
-
 
t
he   ignition   has   been   switched   off   for   a   few  
m

inutes,
-
 
t
he   driver's   seat   belt   is   unfastened   and  
t

heir   door   is   open.
The system is activated or deactivated in the
touch
 
screen
 
tablet.

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),
-
 
r

This system indicates the proximity of an obstacle   (examples:   pedestrian,   vehicle,   tree,  
g

ate)   which   comes   within   the   field   of   detection  
o

f   sensors   located   in   the   bumper.
Certain
  types   of   obstacle   (examples:   stake,  
r

oadworks   cone)   detected   initially   will   no   longer  
b

e detected at the end of the manoeuvre, if
they
  are   located   in   blind   spots   in   the   sensors'  
f

ield
 o
f
 d
etection.
Parking sensors
This system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance   on   the   part   of   the   driver.The
  system   is   switched   on   by   engaging   reverse  
g

e a r.
This   is   confirmed   by   an   audible   signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of   reverse   gear.
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an i
ntermittent   audible   signal,   the   frequency   of   which i

ncreases   as   the   vehicle   approaches   the   obstacle.
The
  sound   emitted   by   the   speaker   (right   or   left)
 i

ndicates   the   side   on   which   the   obstacle   is   located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the
  obstacle   becomes   less   than   approximately
 t

hirty   centimetres,   the   audible   signal   becomes
 c

ontinuous.
Rear parking sensors
Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal by d isplaying   bars   in   the   screen   or   the   instrument  
p

anel   which   move   progressively   nearer   to  
t

he   vehicle.   When   the   obstacle   is   near,   the  
"

Danger"   symbol   is   displayed.

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

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  
v

iew,   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   junction   or   manoeuvring   in  
a

reas   of   reduced   visibility.
Once activated, this function operates up to
9 mph
  (15   km/h).   Above   18   mph   (30   km/h),   the  
f

unction   is   deactivated   automatically. This system is a visual aid which in no
circumstances can replace the need for
vigilance
  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
conditions,   or   of   low   ambient   light   may  
d

arken   the   image   and   reduce   contrast.Forward vision
The camera located in the front bumper is
activated and views of the areas located at
front
  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
displayed in the instrument panel and behaves
like
  a   reversing   camera,   whatever   the   position  
o

f   the   gear   selector   lever.
The blue lines represent the width of your
vehicle
  (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,
respectively.
Rear vision is displayed automatically
when
  engaging   reverse,   regardless   of  
t

he   state   of   the   system.
