Speed limit recognition
This system allows the speed limit detected by
the camera to be displayed in the instrument
panel.
Specific speed limits, such as those for heavy
goods
  vehicles,   are   not   displayed.
The display of the speed limit in the instrument
panel
  is   updated   as   you   pass   a   speed   limit   sign  
i

ntended   for   cars   (light   vehicles).
The units for the speed limits (mph or
km/h)
  depend   on   the   country   you   are  
d

riving   in.
It
  should   be   taken   into   account   so   that  
y

ou   observe   the   speed   limit.
For the system to operate correctly
when
  you   change   country,   the   units   for  
s

peed in the instrument panel must be
those
  for   the   country   you   are   driving   in. The
  automatic   reading   of   road   signs   is   a  
d

riving   assistance   system   and   does   not  
a

lways   display   speed   limits   correctly.
The
  speed   limit   signs   present   on   the  
r

oad   always   take   priority   over   the  
d

isplay   by   the   system.
The system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance
  on   the   part   of   the   driver.
The
  driver   must   observe   the   driving  
r

egulations   and   must   adapt   the   speed  
o

f the vehicle to suit the weather and
traffic.
It is possible for the system to not
display the speed limit if it does not
detect
  a   speed   limit   sign   within   a   preset  
p

eriod.
The
  system   is   designed   to   detect   signs  
t

hat conform to the Vienna Convention
on
  road   signs.
To maintain correct operation of the
system:
  regularly   clean   the   area   in   front  
o

f   the   camera.Principles
Using a camera at the top of the windscreen, this system detects and reads speed limit and
end
  of   speed   limit   signs.
The
  system   also   takes   account   of   information  
o

n   speed   limits   from   the   navigation   system  
ma

pping.

Memorising the speed setting
This memorisation is in addition to the display
of Speed limit recognition .
The driver can choose to adapt the speed
setting
  to   the   speed   limit   suggested,   by  
p

ressing   the   memorisation   button   at   the   speed  
l

imiter controls, with the standard cruise
control, the dynamic cruise control or the
dynamic
  cruise   control   with   Stop   function.

Limits of operation
The system cannot exceed the limits of the laws   of   physics.
It is recommended that the system be
deactivated when the "space-saver" spare
wheel
  is   in   use.
The system should not be activated when
towing
  a   trailer.
In certain critical situations, the system will
encourage
  the   driver   to   immediately   take   back  
c

ontrol:
-

i
f the vehicle in front slows down too much
or too suddenly, and the driver does not
brake,
-

i
f a vehicle comes between your vehicle
and
  the   vehicle   in   front. As
  the   radar's   field   of   detection   is   quite   narrow,  
i

t   is   possible   that   the   system   may   not   detect:
-

v
ehicles of reduced width (motorcycles,
scooters...),
-
 
v
ehicles   not   running   in   the   middle   of   the  
lan

e,
-
 
v
ehicles   entering   a   corner,
-
 
v
ehicles   suddenly   pulling   out.The
  cruise   control   does   not   take   account   of:
-

p
edestrians, cyclists, animals,
-
 
s
tationary   vehicles   (traffic   jam,   red   light,  
b

reakdown...),
-
 
v
ehicles   crossing   a   junction,
-
 
v
ehicles   driving   in   the   opposite   direction.

Deactivation of the system is recommended in
the  following   situations:

d
riving   on   a   road   sur face   in   poor   condition,
-
u

nfavorable weather conditions,
-
 
d
riving   on   slippery   sur faces   (black   ice).

-
 
d
riving   with   a   trailer,
-
 
d
riving   on   a   rolling   road,
-
 
d
riving   on   unstable   sur faces.
In the event of a fault with the system, you are
alerted
  by   the   illumination   of   these   warning  
lam

ps in the instrument panel, accompanied by
the
  display   of   a   message   and   an   audible   signal.
Have
  the   system   checked   by   a   CITROËN

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

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.
